KANSAS COMNENT

AGAINST PATRONAGE SYSTEM.
In his recent message to the house
of representatives on the subject of
the next census, President Roosevelt
took a stand that Is characteristic of
him He advised that the work of
taking the census should be placed in
the hands of men who have shown by
| competitive examination that they
are better fitted TO do the work than
other applicants for the positions to
be given out. rather than that they
had friends who controlled more
votes. And he should be supported in
this move.
Beside the stand of the president
against the manner in which the vari-
Gus appointees were chosen last time,
because 1t is patronage system"
there is another reason why the men
who do the work connected with the
census should be the very best that
can be secured. How can this be
demonstrated better than by the com.
petitive examination?
The statistics upon which we de-
pend for our notes of our progress,
by which we measure our growth, are
collected and compiled principally by
the persons employed in the census
bureau. We desire these to be as far
reaching and at the same time as
absolutely correct as it is possible for
man to make them. Ano by employ
ing better men to do the work we are
insured that it will be zone in a bet
ter manner.
And, as the presiden, says, such a
system as the non-competitive exam
nations by which persons who have
been employed in doing the work of
the last three censuses have been
chosen, is a useless check upon the
Spoils system which the government
has been fighting for some time

not win the election, but he won a
great victory for the people. He
forced the issues of good government.
He gave a high-handed party organi-

scare. The close contest was fol-
lowed by better days. And while the
needed reforms have not all been ac-

Directors of the Commercial club are
to be congratulated over the selection
of w. F. Jensen, as president of the or
ganization for the ensuing year. Mr..
Jensen is not only a business man of
ability but also a hustler. Better than
that he is interested in the work of the
Commercial club and the upbuilding OF
Topeka. During the recent slump in
the activities of the club Mr.. Jensen
has been one Of the few regulars who
have attended the meetings. 1t is safe
10 prophesy that the club will be re-
1uvenated under the guiding hand OF
Mr. Jensen and that much of benefit
TO the city will be accomplished by it
under his direction. And every business
man in town should lend him a hand.

Robinson and DR.. Wayson held copies
of the agreement.
DR.. Wayson. Immediately the COM
parison was finished, moved that a GER
titled copy of the agreement under the
seal of the board be sent to Mr.. Lane
and that Mr.. Wallach be notified to
appear as recommended by the presi-
dent.
Mr. Wallach rose and asked if he
might say few words.
President Pinkham objected to hear
ing him unless the board voted him
permission.
Mr.. Motley rose and asked to be
heard.
DR.. Wayson objected with a remark
that the time for discussion of condi-,
tions had passed.
The motion being put was unari-
mously carried.
Mr.. Motley got up again and de-
manded the reading of the letter TO
Mr.. Lane.
Mr.. Pinkham stated that it had been
admitted that the letter was an error.
He called Mr.. Motley to order on his

called down subsided.

let him forget it," Mr.. Smith OBJ
served.
Mr.. Wallach having renewed his re-
quest for hearing, the president ruled
that no remarks would be permitted
unless the board voted to hear them. |
He asked if any member had motion
to make on the subject. There was
no response.
DR.. Wayson stated that this was the |
first time the matter had been pre-
sented in legal form for final action,
and referring to the Attorney Cen

resolution printed at the head of this
report.
Mr.. Robinson seconded the resolu-
ton.
On being put to the meeting without
discussion 1t was carried. No hand
went up for the negative, so that the
passage was unanimous.
Other business was then transacted.

until the executive session was an
nounced, when they retired along with

MORE DEATHS FROM TYPHOID.
Two Children of the Late John pub
lie Die From Typhoid Fever, the
Disease From Which Their
Father Died.

Only two weeks ago the Record all
nounced the death OF John Public, ST.,
a respected citizen of the Brofy neigh
borhood. And we are called upon to
announce the death OF son and
daughter of deceased.
John Public, Jr., died in Linton last
Sunday afternoon at O'clock. The
disease was typhoid fever. His age
was 23 years, months and % days
His birthplace was Wisconsin. MIR.
Public was splendid specimen of
young manhood. He was known as q
young man OF good principles, and was
highly respected by all who knew him
Monday night last Leona, sister Of
John Public, Jr., died Of paralysis
or, rather, q chronic form OF cerebro-
spinal meningitis the home OF her
brother-in-law and sister, MIR. and
Mrs. AlvA Burge, in the lower Beaver
Creek country. The young girl was
aged l3 years and 8 days. She had
been an invalid from birth.
The brother and sister were both
born in Wisconsin.
Their funeral took place at Hazelton
yesterday.
Joe Public, aged about 10, and Gil
bert Public, aged about nine years,
are sick with typhoid fever at the
Hogue hospital, in Linton. They are
improving; but, until perfect recovery
it is impossible to say how this treach-
erous disease will end.
Their is much sympathy for the
mother and surviving children over
the loss of those near and dear TO
them.
