Congress in a Hole.

In 1910 the people OF the United
States must be counted The work
will require about four thousand gov
eminent employees. To this harvest
OF appointments the members OF con-
gress, long kept hungry by the civil
service regulations, have looked for
years with longing eyes. The whole
spirit OF honest government demands
that those appointments be made by
competitive examination; the neces-
stiles OF the machines back home de-
mand that they be made by the spoils
system. over year ago the presi'
dent. in formal message, served on
congress notice OF his own attitude:
The non-competitive examinations
used In selecting the force at Wash
ington OF the last two censuses served
only as cloak TO hide the nakedness
OF the spells system"
But congress could not avoid the
call OF the machines. II passed bill
providing for the next census: II In
corporated in the bill a provision that
the clerks be appointed by the spells
system. This made the whole bill
difficult TO veto, but It was vetoed. and
congress must now pass another bill
providing for the next census. IL can
not make protection OF the civil serv.

Il has been for Roosevelt: and there
