CROOKED BUILDING DEPART.
MEN1

The Civil Service Commission has
made a report showing up crooked
conditions among building depart
ment employees.
Concerning these employees, the re-
port asserted that:
They were inefficient and incompe'
tent and neglected their duties.
The caliber OF men employed as in.
spectors was low as regards personal
integrity, honesty and conscientious
ness.
Discipline OF building inspectors
and assistant building inspectors In
charge was particularly low, and in
subordination was rife throughout
the department.
Bribery was countenanced by con
tractors, owners, building inspectors
and assistant building inspectors In
charge.
Many inspectors deliberately over
looked serious defects in the con
structIon of buildings and waited nm
til the structures were near compile
ton and then held up contractor;
and owners, threatening to compe
them 10 repair the defects unless Civ
en- hush money"
Many inspectors consistently and
regularly held up innocent owners
and contractors for amounts varying
from So to 5000 for tolerating certain
violations.
Inspectors made false reports or
structures violating the ordinances.
The issuance OF a permit Otter
served as a signal for some one u
go out and arrange TO FIX up" mat
tiers.
investigators were offered and re
ceived brides from contractors AM
owners.
Many inspectors would ask anc
sometimes receive clemency for own

RoosevELr's DEFEAT.

The peculiar character Of Roose.

politically.

him pretty we'll before the season

Then the Harvester Trust by its

er did much to put him out of the
running.
But the awful howl for fair play"
is what cooked Theodore's chances
with most people.
The idea Of a leading candidate for
chief magistrate of the United States
asking the party which counted TIL.
den out of the presidency to give him
fair play" in one Of its national con.
ventions sounds funny to most people.
What fair play" does he want out
side OF the seating Of delegates about
whose election there was no doubt?
The only question before the ma.
tional committee was the placing oil
delegates whose seats were contested
and the committee found that Presi'
dent Taft was entitled to nearly all
Of them.
The roar that has gone up from
Roosevelt organs about the right OF
the southern states to representation
In the convention Is puerile.
They made no such cutlery when
the southern delegates voted FOL
Roosevelt in 1904.
On the contrary the gentlemen from
Dixie who hold postmasterships and
vote the Republican ticket were ac
corded the same grand treatment by
the John Callan O'Laughlins OF the
time as any lantern-jawed delegate
from the west or slab.sided radical
from the east.
Roosevelt Is skinned and his hide
Is as completely tanned as was that
of some of the freak animals whose
skins were brought back from Africa
when he was hunting notoriety at
home.
Taft will be nominated.
The whole Roosevelt family, In
Guiding the Longworths, will be here
TO learn the result.
They will not be the only band OF
reformers who will hear something
