Mr.. PADOO AND THE MERIT SYSTEM

1t does not lie in the mouth OF q public
official whose own delinquency is a major OBJ
staCie to the proper working Of the Civil Ser
vice law TO complain because the merit sys-
TEN does not adequately supply his demand
for efficient subordinates. Police Commissioner
McAdoo finds fault with the restrictions Of the
Civil Service law and says that 1t hampers
him in the organization of suitable force
But If he had for a year past been carefully
obeying the law and the rules made pursuant
TO law he would possess an efficiency record
Of candidates for promotion, compiled under his
own supervision, which would have large In
fuence In the makeup Of the eligible lists from
which he is TO choose officers for the higher
grades. If the Civil Service competition does
not bring TO the front the men best fitted for
promotion by past faithfulness, energy initia-
tive and good habits, it is Commissioner Nc
Adoo's own fault. Past record as reported By
the department itself has great weight in rat
ings for promotion
The Police Commissioner also expresses his
disapproval Of the Civil Service examinations
and says that some of the questions asked have
been absolutely absurd That may possibly be
on his part TO correct any such error in the
coming examinations. We hold no brief for
the Municipal Civil Service Commission, but
we doubt If there is a commission IN the State
which would not before an examination gladly
confer with an appointing officer and so fix
the scope of its examination as to test the DOS
session by candidates of the particular quail
ties desired by the superior. That Is frequently
