CIVIL SERVICE EXTENSION.

rs an indication of change in pub
lie sentiment, probably due TO a better
understanding of the matter, Il is in.

Welt is now receiving general c5nusn-
cation for pursuing a course tEds So
cured for former President Cleveland
Ioug-coutiuUed yoIIeys Of abuse. In
MS efforts TO extend the scope Of the
civil service Mr.. Roosevelt is but fol-
lowing an example set by Mr.. Cleve-
land, yet, unlike Mr.. Cleveland, the
present executive receives praise ara
support from all quarters.
In referring to President Roosevets
work Harper's Weekly supplies some
Interesting information of what the
president has accomplished in this di-
1ectiOH- Since he became president IN
1gJI he has included in the servi.e r
humber of offices in the war depart
ment, many employees Of the rural free
delivery service, census Office employees.

many customs service employees, all 20

Philippines and under the canal CON-
mission. except Iaborers or engineers
detailed from the army, special agents
of the immigration bureau on duty in
foreign territory, labOreTs employed in

Mr.. Roosevelt is fortunate in that
the public now appreciates the value o.
the policy initiated by the former Dem

ful though it may be to the politicians,
Is endorsed by a majority OF the Citi-

after all are but d small portion Of the

entitled TO slight consideration. What

service rules. tends to the Improvement

pHILApELPHIA,s SHAME.

Another chapter i'm Philadelphia =
shame has been enacted by the passage
of the Ubiquitous gas plant lease. With
the public in possession of all details of
the scheme to rob the city, with COM
Inittees of prominent citizens organ
lied to fight the proposition, with the
leading newspapers of the city printing
DAY after day columns of matter show
ing the sinister purpose back of the
lease, and IN the face of threats of per-
SOnal violence the corrupt gang that
jnfests the city has again shown its
contempt for Philadeiphia's rights by
passing the measure. The vote i'm
councils was 131 for the lease to I8
against It, a majority that makes a veto
of no avail
4 brief explanation Of the case was
given a few days ago, but further par
JicUlars are necessary 10 an under
standing Of the situation. The city
owns its gas plant, which was leased to
a private company eight years ago.
This company has been operating the
plant in a satisfactory manner and
under terms which would have paid
the city about So. 900 900 by the time
the lease expired in 1927 Recently the
sang, which has been deriving little or
10 yearly revenue from the plant under
the existing Iease, decided to take the
plant away from the company that now
has il and TO turn il over TO another
concern, the United Gas Improvement
company, for a term of seventy-five
years upon payment Of a lump sum of
50 OOo 600. This proposition carried
with il a clause that would prevent the
reduction of gas rates during the life
of the United Gas Improvement COM
pany's lease. Before its passage the
lease was amended to provide for slight
reductions, but the life of the lease was
not shortened.
As an excuse the gang pretended that
the go, 600 10 be derived from the
lease was TO be expended for public
Improvements. No one familiar with
the Philadelphia situation believed the
money. after it reached the hands of
the hungry grafters who control the
city. would be expended in the city's
interest. 1t was further proved that
10 such sum was needed for public i'm
provements. that there was no need for
more than S1O.O0O0 O0 under any circum-
stances, and that the necessary amount
could easily be raised without giving
the gas plant away for seventy-five
years. Statistics were presented TO
show that the city, with cash on hand,
possible borrowing limit and regular
revenues. is in a position to provide
for an average yearly expenditure Of
over S40,645.164 between now and the
close of 1907. sufficient TO defray the
cos Of all needed improvements.
The claim that a lump sum Of SIS. 0OO.-
OC0 was needed for immediate improve
ments was thus shown to be false. The
cancelIing Of the existing lease implies
d loss to the city Of $1,000. 600 by the end
Of the year 1927. What the total loss
VIII be when the new lease expires in |
1880 can only be estimated. but il viii
run high into the millions.
In brief, the new lease. which is de- |

, notoriously dishonest gang. simply
means that Philadelphia has been
I robbed of millions without a shadow
, of justification. and that the eity's
property is to be turned over to a cor
poration for a period OF seventy-five

Somewhat Unexpectedly, the mayor
aligned himself against the PROPOSED
/ lease and is expected TO veto it, but the
vote indicates that it viii be passed
over his veto
The committee of nine, leading
! citizens appointed in mass meeting to
fight the steal. calls upon the people of
Philadelphia to keep up the fight. but
there is slight hope Of defeating the
lease. The members of the gang who
