POLITICS IN THE

the Editor OF THE TIMES

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Such effort Is being made to remove
politics" from the civil service that
1t seems opportune to make inquiry as
to just what Is supposed to be taking
the place of politics in our Government
departments. About three years ago a
loading member OF the Senate made a
speech in which he declared that the
"meanest and most contemplate poll
tics on the face of the earth is being
practiced in the departments under the
holy cloak Of civil service reform" And
II Is literally true that a species OF what
may be called departmental politics has
been growing up in our Government Of
fees which is as corrupt, IL not more so,
than politics In the broader sense Of
the word. This state of affairs has
been largely brought about through the
this formation being made possible by
that very civil service reform" which
Is supposed to do away with politics;
that Is, one kind of politics is being re-
placed by another kind on a lower level.
The civil service blanket should be re-
moved from all responsible positions.

a little ventilation into the prevailing
rankness. This Is the only way to even
approach a real merit system; the one
now in vogue Is a farce and laughing
stock to everyone with any inside

decline and even the old Roman faith

CANADIAN. IS HELD

Chicago Police Chief Believes He

CHICAGO, April 12-Confident that

Nesbitt, alleged bank wrecker of To-
ronto, Canada, and former member of
the Canadian parliament, assistant
chief of Police Schuettler has today
surrounded his prisoner with mystery.
to prevent interference by friends of
the alleged fugitive, until the papers
for his extradition can be sent from
the Canadian capital. The man taken
as Nesbitt Is not held in the jail, and
it was believed today he was spirited
out of town.
Nesbitt, who went under the name of
Coleman here, was identified by De-
tective Akirich, of Toronto. The ell
legged bank wrecker is said to have OBJ
tained S250, 200 in the crash OF the Farm
ers Bank of Toronto just before he dis
appeared. A search that extended
throughout America and Europe fol-
lowed.
Nesbitt was plentifully supplied WITH
funds, and it was expected he would
make hard fight against extradition.
He protested his innocence. The police
fear that he may obtain his liberty on
writ OF habeas corpus, as he was
arrested without a fugitive warrant.

THINKS INQUIRER" HAD
A POOR DEFENSE
the Editor of THp TIMEs

TO the Editor of THE TIMES
Your correspondent, Inquirer" In the
issue OF April 2, who claims that clerks
pay their own salaries. puts up poor
defense for his cause. Direct taxpayers
do not support the National Govern
ment: they may pay high taxes, but not
a cent OF them goes TO The Treasury OF
the United States. Ten-elevenths of the
total receipts OF the Government are
derived from customs and internal
revenue. Total abstainers Of intoxicant
liquors and tobacco do therefore not
contribute anything at ali TO the support
of the National Government, their
"hapdoodle" Notwithstanding. The tramp
who spends the money he has begged
for drink or a plug of tobacco prac-
lcally helps to raise revenues, while
the teetotaler farmer who sicks the dog
on him does not DO 20.
Everybody. whether farmer, mechanic
or clerk, uses coffee and sugar, and
they are taxed. Clerks and their fami-
lies use in proportion more articles that
are imported than those people who
clamor that those clerks are paid by
their nard- earned money. IL II comes TO
fine point the argument should be
reversed. IL In the Government employs
who helps not only to pay his own
salary, but by spending his money helps
the prohibitionists and consumers of
homespun articles that they may enjoy
the benefits If our National Govern
ment to the support of which they DO
not contribute. GEORGE J. LEVY.

A DISTRICT PRIMARY ACT.

The House Committee on District Affairs has re-
ported the BristowNorrs bill, providing for Presi-
Dental preference primary for the District of Co.
lumbia. The measure, by all means, ought to pass.
1t is peculiarly uniting that right here in Washing.
ton the socalled model city," under the nose of
Congress and governed directly by it, there should
be such a dsgraceful travesty on popular govern
ment as is enacted every four years in the selection
OF delegates to the national conventions.
The Bristow-Norris measure is one that deserves
thorough test. 1t has been rejected already by a
majority Of the Senate Committee on District, but as
It will almost certainly pass the House there is hope
that the Senate may yet give it chance to come to
a vote. 1t would probably pass that body, perhaps
with some amendments, il it would only get past
the reactonary majority in tine District Committee.
As usual, that majority stands the final obstacle
between Washington and reform legislation.

GOOD FOR SOMETHING.

Those orthodox optimists who avow the belief
that every created thing is designed for some good
purpose have long been worried by the English spar
row. The ingenious have suggested good offices that
may perhaps be performed by the gallinipper of
Hackensack and some bold spirits have defended the
being Of the Ben Davis apple of Arkansas but it has
been, until now sufficient to close the mouth of even
the most optimistic by the simple expedient of
tioning the English sparrow.
But it turns out that the dogma of the orthodox has
the sanction of science. The English sparrow is good
for something 1t good to eat alfalfa weevils. The
alfalfa weev is bold bad bug that has been dimin-
ishng the dividends of certain Western agriculturists
All sorts of things were tried in effort to destroy
him, but until the English sparrow was introduced
nothing avaed. The sparrow did the work, at least
he did it last year. and the Department Of Agriculture
is hopeful that his weevily appetite is permanent AS
there is alfalfa to speak of in the District of
Columbia we have large assortment of warranted
sparrows that we will sell cheap, for cash. to Wyo-
ming or such States as may desire them.
This teaches another lesson. The alfalfa weevil
is good for something He is good for sparrows
to eat.
