Capital Would Be Turned Into q
Camping Ground For Temporary
EMPLOYEES.
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
With public spirited organizations,
like the Chamber of Commerce and 9TH
er combined forces, II seems almost abb
surd for any one small individual to
protest against anything in the form of
q Congressional measure. However,
The Times Is a live paper, and ought to
know what will have the desired effect
In checking up undesirable legislation.
Washington Is today a much more
beautiful city than II was thirty years
back when the streets were full of
office seekers, who spent their savings
while waiting for jobs that never ma
terialized. The civil service has been a
good thing for those of us who are
mostly dependent on the Government
employe for what Is to be had In the
line OF business.
II the department clerk loses his posi-
ton II means that he leaves Washing
ton; there is nothing else for him to
do u there is 4 specific time when he
may lose his lob, he will become more
cautious as the time draws near, and
so all business would suffer In propor-
ton. L. seems as though the Congress
OF the United States would be more
considerate than to make law which
would virtually turn the Capital City
Of the nation into n camping round FOL
5,0n' temporary employees. If this IL

NEW FAST TRAINS
ON B. & @. RAILROAD
To Leave Washington at 10 A. M
And at Midnight For
Chicago.

Important changes have been made in
the through train service of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad leaving WASH
ington. Two new trains to Pittsburgh
and Chicago have been added to this
service. new train will leave Union
Station at 10 a. m, running solid with
out change to Chicago with sleeping
cars parlor dining cars and coaches,
arriving Pittsburgh 6:S5 p. m. Chicago
S:15 a. m. the next morning. This train
will make all Western connections leav-
ing Chicago in the morning.
A new through train to Pittsburgh
and Chicago will leave Washington al
IL o'clock midnight, with through sleep
ing cars to Pittsburgh, Cleveland and
Chicago, arriving Pittsburgh $50 q. m.
Cleveland 1:1o 2. m. and Chicago 8 p. m
This train makes connections with al
principal through trains of Western
lines leaving Chicago for st. Paul, Min
neapolis, Omaha, Kansas City and the
Pacific Coast.
The new 10 o'clock train will maxi
connections at Weverton for Hagers
town, arriving there at 12:b noon
shortening the time, one hour. Th
Royal Special five-hour train for Phila
delphia and New York will leave Wash
inston at II a. m. instead of 9 a. M, the
a. m. departure being the new trail
from Chicago which will reach New
York at 2:lb p. m.

The Everlasting Change Would Cost
Heavily in Efficiency.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
My experience, as an employer. is
that II requires at least one year to
train an employe into the details of
the office, and at least three years to
become competent to fill all the needs
Of the position.
The everlasting change that would
probably result should the five-year
tenure bill pass Congress would not only
cost the Government heavily for the
continual training of new clerks. but
the efficiency of the service would be
affected.
What competent man would devote
the best years OF his life to a position
that units him for any other, and would
take the chance OF being thrown out OF
office, after Ave of the best years of his
life had been devoted TO its service
Who are the best Congressman? Those
who have served one term or those who
have given their entire life TO the study
/ OF the country's lesislations? Who
make the most competent employees
Those who have served one to fivt
years or those who have been twenty
hve years In the service?
These are some points for your con
sideration, Mr.. Congressman.

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
cannot believe that Congress will
pass legislation fixing the tenure OF
office for Government clerks at Ave
years. We read and like to speak OF
our times as the most enlightened and
progressive in the worlds history. This
movement is certainly a retrograde one.
As a lifelong resident Of this city, !
remember SO well the conditions which
prevailed before the civil service rules
were in force. The unrest, the un-
certainty, the haunting fear of removal
rested heavily upon thousands OF our
best citizens Our merchants. too. at

would be to make shifting and transient
