Wherever the opportunity exists for the exertion of pressure to bring about 9 change in the offices which are with In the control of political parties there is little hesitanCy in putting forth ap- plications and candidates for such po- siiCns- Too often is partisanship giv- en preference over merit whether the appointments are for offices of a di- rect political nature or not
 Tn some instances the present ad- rnjnistTaJiOn has found it advisable to continue the recognition of merit which characterized the previous ad- rninistra1ion and in this connection the attitude of Secretary Redfeld of the department of commerce displays a proper regard for the requirements of the steamboat inspection service, when he declares that it should be run "or the sole basis of ascertained efficiency

1t was not feared that there was inn

their future needs some regulation, il

MISS bOARDMAN TALKS
OF RED CROSS WORK
Also Explains Controversy Be-
tween Old and Newer In
: terests in Organization.

In an address before the Women's Ma
,tional Press Association, in the oak room
of the Hotel Raleigh, last night Miss
Mabel Boardman, active head of the
American Red Cross, told Of the work
of the organization and described it's
methods in dealing with the various con-
ditions which make the services of the
Red Cross necessary.
In her address Miss Boardman gave a
sketch of the work Of Miss Jane Delano
In organizing the corps of field nurses,
and paid a high tribute to the efficiency
and self-sacrificing spirit Of the nurses
as demonstrated during the revolutions
and wars in Mexico, the calamitous
floods last year in the Mississippi valley
and on other occasions.
High Standard Established.
She outlined the high standard which
is required of these public servants before
they are. even enrolled on the reserve list.
and spoke Of the value of the work done
by Miss Fanny Clemens in the organiza-
ton of the American Red Cross rural
nursing service, as we'll as that of Miss
Marion Oliver. daughter of the. assistant
secretary of war, who was the leader In
the organization Of the Red Cross system
of instruction in home nursing, teaching
women the care of the sick In their own
homes, household sanitation and the like.
Miss Boardman spoke of the disappoint-
ment that was occasiOned by the failure
of the American Red Cross to secure the
home 1t was hoped could be built for the
organization in Washington. adding tnat
efforts in the same direction are still
being made. She stated that the Loyal
Legion some time ago offered TO donate
$4,000 as a memorial to the women
who served as nurses during the civil
war, provided Congress- would appro-
pirate a like sum.
.eWhen people give about $S.00O.OOO for
the support of the Red Cross in about
eight years, it Is a little thing, to ask OF
Congress" Miss Boardman declared.
'"rhe building would have been turned
over to the government as lt9 property
and the American Red Cross would nave
guaranteed the maintenance of the home,
SO that beyond the small initial appro-
priation 1t would have cost the govern
ment nothing"
Defends Self Against Charges.
Miss Boardman for the first time in
public spoke of the controversy that has
been waged for several years between the
old and the newer interests active in the
work Of the American Red Cross, and
deprecated the attacks that have been
made upon her by the active friends and
adherents Of the late Clara Barton. She
defended her course in seeking the re-
moyal of Miss Barton from the presidency
of the Red Cross, strongly defending her
actions in that crisis of the organiza-
ton.
Mrs. William Oscar Roome. president
of the association, presided at the meet
ing. which was well attended. Mrs.
Mary s. Lockwood, chairman of the pro-
gram committee introduced Miss Board
man. Mrs. owen Kildare also spoke.
