Civil Service Commission Changes.

Friends of the merit system will await with hope
full expectancy the result of President Wilson's
changes in the composition Of the Civil Service Com
mission. Generally speaking such changes are to
be regretted, the basic principle Of the merit system
requiring continuity Of tenure for non-potical Off,
cals Yet the same system recognized the necessity
Of occasional changes. for cause.
In this case there has really seemed to be cause
for making some change Without in the least re-
fecting upon its impartiality and integrity it must
be said that for some time the work Of the Civil
Service Commission has seemed to be proceeding in
rut led with red tape. 1t has lacked initiative,
energy and resolution in cases in which those quail

some of its apparent incapacity is to be charged
against the imperfections and limitations Of the
federal law But it is widely believed that more
vigorous and efficient administration of the law
would be possible.
