AS TO NEXT CENSUS
ROOSEVELT WANTS ONLY COMPE-
 TENT HELP. EMPLOYED.
The President Strongly DenOunces the "Patronage SyAtem" of Making Appointments to Dc This
 Class of Work.


 WashinEton, Jan. 6.-In a message to the House of Representatives today, President Roosevelt urged that in pre- pairing for the work of taking the next census, the 4,O0O or more additional employees needed be appointed only af- ter competitive examination under the rules of the Civil Service Commission. and strongly denounced the patron age system of making the appoint ments. saying that the Civil Service Commission was fully capable of se- curing a msst efficient force.
 The non-competitive examinations used In selecting the force at Wash ington of the last two censuses, the President said, served only ''as cloak to hide the nakedness of the spells system" Such examinations. he de- clared, were useless as checks upon patronage appointments.
 They prevent" he said, the most incompetent from being appointed, but they do not secure the appointment of check upon political appointments. The President said it is idle to say that such examinations are fair. For the unfairness and favoritism come In In the choosing of the men who shall be allowed to try them"
 The President declared that the great majority of the clerical employees of the last two censuses were far below the average ability, and that statistics show that only about 50 per cent. of the applicants who were employed in the last two censuses were able to pass the competitive examinations un, der the civil esrvice rules.

 Rev. Father Mcconnell. of Selma, off, ficiated at mass at St. Leo's Catholic Church, Sunday. The choir rendered excellent music. and just before Fa- ther McConnell's short address of in structions. he took occasion to thank the choir for the most efficient manner in which they sung the mass.
 He told the congregation that he was informed that a bogus priest was go- ing about his parish soliciting aims for various Catholic orders and warned them not to contribute anything to him unless he had credentials.
