FOULkE PLEADS FOR
THE MERIT SYSTEM
Asks for Civil Service in Ad-
ministrative Department
of Government.

William Dudley Foulke pleaded with
the National Civil Service association
ii irs annual convention at Milwaukee
yesterday for the elimination of poll
tics from the administrative work and
the substitution of civil service.
Mr.. Foulke said, in part:
1.-THE application of competitive
methods to the Federal civil service
is now drawing near it's consumma-
ton. II we can maintain the present
classified service in it's entirety, includ
ing fourth class postmasters; if we can
apply it to other postmasterships and
to collectorships and strengthen it
still further in the consular and dip
lomatic service; if we can extend it to
few of the higher remaining offices
including bureau chiefs; if we shall
perfect a complete system of promo
ton with appropriate efficiency tests
for wedding out the incompetent as
wei! as for rewarding the meritorious,
We shall have done the bulk of our
work az far as the general govern
ment is concerned.
I'VE can have no thoroughly effici-
ent state and municipal governments
until we have everywhere a state serv-
ice and municipal service in which
every purely administrative official is
selected and retained solely on &C
count of his merits and his fitness for
the place he is to fill and until politics
is wholly eliminated from admins
trative work. Politics is more injuri-
GUS and less beneficial in our cities
and other small municipal units than
in any other place. National politics as
such has no right there at all.
1--WE must have the best expert serv-
ice if we would really reform our city
governments. How shall we get it?
We can not get it by popular election.
The people should be supreme in all
questions of city policies, but our citi-
zens can not know the qualifications
of a great number of persons whom
they vote for on a blanket ballot. The
choice of these men by the City Coun-
Gil, or even by the personal direction
of the mayor, is so far controlled by
political bias and personal prejudice,
and sometimes by ignorance as to the
qualifications of candidates, that bad
appointments are often, if not general
1y made.

Forbidden MARRIAGES.

A curious idea among the Burmese
is that people born on the same day Of
the week must not marry and that if
they defy the fates their union will be
marked by much Ill luck. To prevent
these disastrous marriages every girl
carries a record of her birthday in her
name. each day of the week having a
letter belonging to it. and all children
are called by a name that begins with
that letter. 1t is rather hard II the
Marys and Marks of Burma fall in
love with each other. as in this coun-
try. Unlike other oriental lands. the
young people are allowed to marry as
taste dictates, subject only to the birth
day restrictions.
