Civil Service Reform Extension.

In contrast with certain efforts OF Con-
gress TO undo civil service reform and
restore the spells system is the effort that
Is being made at Chicago 10 secure the
adoption by the republican national con-
vention OF strong platform plank
strengthening and extending the merit
system. 1t will be sought 10 have the
democratic national convention adopt a
platform declaration of like import.
Report affirms that the Illinois and
Chicago civil service reform associations
organizations that are non-partisan and
non-factional and which are affiliated
with the National Civil Service Reform
League-are bringing arguments to bear
on the delegates and party chiefs at Chi
cago and Baltimore which may have the
effect Of producing a platform pledge de-
clarng for comprehensive and adequate
civil service law and for retirement for
age and length of service.
The associations in their statement
which is being extensively circulated
say:
In view of the many and decisive ex-
pressions Of the public will favorins

1910 we respectfully urge that you use
your best efforts to secure the adoption
by the national convention Of a civil
service plank:
"Reaffirming adherence to the principle
Of the merit system. and demanding COM
prehensive and adequate Legislation pro-
vding for
Extension Of the merit system to all
/ purely administrative positions IN the
government service by such legislation
supplemented by appropriate executive
action.
"The improvement Of the service and
the promotion Of economy through sys-
| tematic and impartial efficiency investi
cations and records
Tenure during good behavior and eff
fciency and discharge of employees by
the civil service commission after fair
efficiency: suitable provision for honorable
retirement in case Of old age and long
service.
| Demanding an honest and vigorous
enforcement of the law
| Civil service reform is stronger with the
people than II ever was. II has made
such gain in favor that only violent re-
dictionaries speak of a return to the spoils
| period. and even then such speech Is
mainly verbal pose. Civil service re-
form as already extended makes life
easier and pleasanter for members of
Congress and public officials than 1t was
before the beginning OF the operation Of
the merit system. Patronage is difficult
to dispense without making more enemies
| than friends.
1t is hoped that the advocates OF civil
service reform extension will make some
impression at Chicago and Baltimore

When New York was mentioned. nothing
seemed to depend upon him. Not even
his waistcoats were mentioned His
sweetness was being wasted on the desert
air
So he decided to flop. He would call at
tention to himself in a way that would
make New Workers and everybody else
take notice. AS convert to the Roose-
welt cause he would AK attention. and
maybe start stampede.
The stage was we'll set for the perform
ance Mr.. Roosevelt sent for Mr.. Wood
ruff-as per arrangement-Mr. Woodruff
responded-as per arrangement-and the
widest publicity followed. In a short time
everybody knew that Tim and Teddy
were in agreement. and many hoped that
other New York delegates would copy Mr.
Woodruffs example.
But this did not result Nobody fol-

New York stood firm. 1t soon appeared
that Mr.. Woodruff controlled only his
own vote.
The effect Of this action on Mr.. Wood
rufus future is problem. In social life
he is popular. In political life he has
been active. and without much reward.
STILL he has never complained. When
others reaped where he had sown. ne
bowed to fate and went his way.

cused of something like treachery and
selfishness Those who treat the matter
seriously charge in effect that Mr.. Wood
rufus desertion OF Mr.. Taft was with a
view Of making terms for the future with
Mr.. Roosevelt promising more of promi-
hence and influence than he could hope
for from Mr.. Taft. Can this be true?
