year 10 per cent of the American en-
ployes severed their connection with the
service in order either to return to
the United States or to enter business

fill all the routine grades, including
many important administrative and
clerical positions, with Filipinos. reserv-

At the present time the Fflipinos have
the following positions: secretary "
finance and justice and four OF the nine

preme court, the positions OF attornev

The provincial officials, including the
governor are elected by the people. The
eighty members of the Philippine assem-
bly, are elected by the people for term
of four years. This body IS the lower
house of the Philippine legislature, the
being the upper house. and
any law which applies to the Fflipinos
proper cannot be passed without the
of the assembly. In other
words, the Filipinos practically control
their government today and have done so |
the past five years This is fact giving |
much support to those who contend that
they are fitted for self-government.

States civil service valuable lessons and
it is doubtful if any municipal or state
civil service in this country can show
any comparison to it.
An important feature in the Philippine
civil service is the method of filling va
cancies in the
Civil Service System positions of
Differs From Others. sistant s, a,r as
tors chief clerks, chiefs of divisions and
other important positions by the promo
ton of competent employees in the serv-
ice. Most civil service acts in all coun-
tries, particularly in the United States,
make the higher positions the plums OF
politics, but this unjust and uneconomic
method of blocking promotions in the
classified service is not In good odor in
the Philippines.
Liberal vacations and leaves of alb
sence are provided. Classified employees
from ordinary clerks to directors are al
lowed from twenty-eight to thirty-fve
days vacation leave every year. The
entrance salary for clerks and stenog-
raphers Is 81 200 and promotion is rapid
up to So, COO.
When the Philippine civil service was
organized and for some years after
Anei leans were in the majority. Not
only all of the responsible positions, but
all of the classified clerkship5 were held
by Americans. They were appointed by
passing first and second grade English
examinations. while the unimportant
posts ranging from $3.50 to $500 a year
or thereabout We're awarded to Filipinos
as they proved their fitness to hold them
by passing the first and second grade
Spanish examinations.
BY 1903 the percentage Of Americans
began to decrease and that of Filipinos to
increase so that Americans held 81 per
cent of the positions and the Filipinos
40 per cent. There were 2,1T7 Americans
and 1857 F'ilipinos The expenditures for
salaries totaled 1891 $50 for Americans
and 81 ,O94,GSS for Filipinos. The aver
age annual salary was 81 .302 for Amer
leans and S405 for Filipinos.
Within the next twelve-month the pro-
portion had shifted to 81 per cent for
Filipinos and 40 per cent for Americans.
Ever since that time the Filipino per-
centage has assembled, with a correspond
ing decline in Americans and with an
increase Of the average annual compensa-
ton for both races.

FIRE HERO ARSON SUSPECT
Man Who Saved Tenants From Blaze

Fires,

Chicago, Nov. 18.-Clement Thatch.
er, a postal clerk, who was hailed as
a hero last February when he dis
covered a fire in an apartment house
and awakened the tenants, has been
suspected of having set fires in four
apartment houses Sunday morning.
The four fires broke out within an
hour and all within a few blocks of
each other. Two were reported by
Thatcher. An investigation by Joseph
j. Murray, fire attorney, led to
Thatcher's arrest.
The postal employee had received a
gold watch from tenants in the apart.
ment house fire last February, and
had won publicity for his daring in
staying in the building until all the
occupants were gone.
Thatcher denied all knowledge Of
the fires.
