The Washington times., 1906-05-21

cripples every effort by the heads
of the departments to fulfill the re-
quirements of a merit system even
as far as present laws viii permit.
If the House desires to preven1
transfers it is not needful it shoul6
suppress the ambitious clerks. Let
1T lead in adjusting the pay roles OF
the departments so that like sala-
ries shall go for like services. That
will remove most of the temptation
which now urges the clerk from
bureau to bureau and be incidental
ly considerable step toward MAX
ing the system dependent on me 1T
after the clerks initial examination
as well as before. But if it would
correct the real abuse of the merit
system-of which the tendency to
seek transfers is only one sight
should devise a means, or confer
upon the heads of the departments
authority to devise a means of maxi
ing promotions dependent on merit
alone and inseparable from ad-
vances in the grade of work done
as well as in pay.
The Washington times., 1906-05-21
Transfers and the Merit System.

A provision inserted by the House
in the Legislative appropriation bill
now under discussion which promis-
ed to do material injury to the
whole departmental service, has
been happily amended by the
Senate. The one body would have
restricted all transfers of clerks
between departments to those en-
ployes who had served three years
or more n the Office from which
transfer is sought. The other body
has lessened that restriction from
three years TO one.
The thought which guided the
House Committee on Appropria-
tions was that frequent inter
changes of the clerks was likely to
produce unsteadiness among them,
to divert their attention from the
tasks to which they were assigned
to tasks they would prefer to do in
some other bureau. ana to deprive
certain divisions of the service of
valued employees to the advantage
of certain other divisions where the
pay was greater.
AS a matter of fact that argu-
ment, like the argument which
moved the committee to con-
denim all the clerks who are over
seventy years of age, merely skim
med the surface. The clerks with
energy and ability enough to pre-
pare themselves for better posts
than those at which they happen to
have heen placed by the uncertain
operation of the present regula-
tions are, for that very activity,
worth more to the service than the
clerks content with what they have
and either unambitious or unable
to learn more than they know now.
If they are to be discouraged from
efforts at advancement the whole
theory of the merit system is dash
ed to the ground.
That transfers are often the only
means of Advancement is the sig
niicant thing. 1t emphasizes, first,
the well known fact that promotion
in salary does not depend on merit
and neither depends upon ability
to assume heavier responsibility
nor carries with it any increase in
responsibility. Second, il reveals an
unevenness IN pay for like services
throughout the departments which

a." Is Ii a War.

The dispatches from ST. Peters
burg are rather pulling "The crit
ical moment which viii decide
whether there win be peace or war
between the crown and the people
apparently arrived with the adop-
tion by the lower house last night
of its reply 10 the speech from the
throne" says one.
In these days If strenuosity in
Russia, nothing can be impossible,
yet we are inclined to believe that
the "'war" referred to in the tele-
gram meant rather a contest OF YER
biage rather than of shot and shell.

But that there viii be a tense

This new assembly of the Russian
people is extraordinarily in earnest,

PATRIOTIC SENTIMENTS
THE CAUSE OF A PANIC

PITTSBURG. May H.-At an enter
tainment given here in new hall for
the benefit of Garfield Post, No. 2l5, G..
A. r., three women tainted and several
were bruised in a panic following the
sinking of the hall floor The entertain
nent was given by the pupils Of the
West Lake public school. and more than
1000 persons were in the hall.
The first number on the program was
a song, 1.-The Beautiful Flag of Lib
erty," which aroused the patriotic en-
thusiasm of the crowd. Fhe applause
and stamping were so great that the
floor sank three inches, and instantly
the patriotism was turned into panic.

What S Next.

Beginning today the long session
of the Fifty-ninth Congress enters
on its second phase. The rate bill is
no longer the paramount PROPOSE
tion. It has passed both Houses; it
is sure to become law; it is out of
consideration as a political issue,
save as it may be dragged in from
time to time by Republicans as a
monument of virtue, or by Demo
Gratis as a horrible example.
Folks aren't going to elect the
next Congress on the strength of
what the last one did. The fact that
Jefferson wrote the Declaration of
Independence doesn't elect Demo
cratic Presidents any more. Neither
does the fact that the Republicans
conducted the civil war any longer
elect Republicans. The issue of to-
morrow concerns people more than
the issue of yesterday.
What's to happen in the next Con-
gress? 1t is time for the leaders TO
present their programs. In fact that
is about all they need to do. Torch
light professions and stump
speeches and such things are not so
efficacious as they used to be. Too
many people get and read and un-
derstand the daily newspapers.
When rural free delivery took the
daily paper to every farmhouse, it
inaugurated a tremendous service
for the cause of intelligence. Ap-
parently it never occurred to cetrain
politicians that the tariff question
began to get right serious in the ag-
ricuItural communities about the
same time that the daily papers be-
gan to make regular visits to the
homes of the farmers. It's worth
thinking about.
The programs are what the coun-
try wants. Tariff, of course, now be-
comes the new paramount, unless
the President can switch off to in
heritance tax, or the canal develops
a controversy of larger popular in
terest than 1t seems capable of at
present. The Democrats have the
advantage of knowing what they
want to do to the tariff; at least, of
knowing well enough for campaign
ing purposes. The Republicans win
have to find out, and do so pretty
soon; and nothing would do so
much TO direct them as a pronounce
ment from the White House. Re
publican tariff opinion is fluid
enough to set soon to any form the
President would undertake to give
it. But it certainly needs a Presi-
Dental mold.

half dozen sprightly affairs.
Two events are scheduled for tomor-

theater at Colonel and Mrs. BIount's S
| residence, THE Oaks" and the opening

An excellent supper VIII be furnished
besides the usual refreshments found

and 4.Ss5 operations have been per-
formed.
