Clark speaks whereof he knows
on the revision of the tariff

rency bill about to become a law,
and their creditable witnesses
speak out in unmistakable terms
and at time when one should
have the courage of his convic-
tons. Champ brings the favor
able features of the currency
bill into the limelight of the
present day national needs, and
shows wherein the old system
has outlived it's usefulness and
should give peace to the new.

they had performed for the pre-

girl recently admitted to the SER
vice-had done more work than
her eight associates combined.
what can l do?" pleaded the
assistant secretary. The eight
inefficient clerks are veterans, If

come of them?"
The chief of a bureau in another
department assured me that he
would be glad to contract to do
the work of his bureau for one
third the sum expended annually
by the government. I'm that
event." he said, II could employ
competent. abie-bodied clerks and
require a fair days work for a
fair days pay.'
Many of the bureau heads
complain that the young clerks
refuse to do more wo.'k than their
old and less efficient co-laborers.
"They get as much if not more
money than we-do. Why should
we do their work for them?" is
the way these mutineers state
the case.
That partisan politics is respon-
sible for the presence of a large
number of decrepit and incompe-
tent persons on the governments
pay roll cannot be questioned.
A score of by-paths have been
discovered by which the plain
provisions of the civil service law
have been evaded and women
who served the Republican party
we'll have been enabled to secure
life positions.
One of the favorite tricks was
to have the head of a department
appoint favorite to a special"
position for sixty or ninty days
and then have the president is
sue an executive order placing
that position under civil service,
without requiring the incumbent
to take an examination.
Hundreds and probably thous-
ands of Republican politicians
were favored in that way. This
plain violation of the spirit of the
law had demoralizing effect On
the morals of the service and
materially reduced the efficiency
of every department.
Not satisfied with sneaking
these favorites' into the civil ser
vice tent, the powers that were
proceeded to promote them with
out regard to the rights Of those
employees who were without po-
litical pull.
One day I listened while a
grey haired clerk told depart
ment chief how for sixteen years
he had been unable to secure an
increase in salary, while his as
sociates who had the influence"
were receiving the coveted pro-
motions.
II was a Democrat, - he said,
"and my folks back in Pennsyl-
vania were Democrats, and that
fact was always used against me.

Washington Letter,
BY Edward Heating,
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.
From Colorado.

There is something radically
wrong with Uucle Sans civil ser
vice system. DRY rot, has
seized upon the. gigantic struct-
ure which it has taken.more than
a quarter of century to erect,
and threatens to destroy it.
What is the trouble? 4
Politics." one will tell you;
Lack of a pension system" an
other will assure you: THE
whole thing is dead wrong" is
the politicians finding. All
these verdicts contain a grain OF
truth, but neither fully fits the
case.
Civil service is a good thing
when properly administered.
That it has not been properly ad-
ministered heretofore is univer-
sally conceded by those who are
in a position to know. The great
d partments of government are
lacking in efficiency, and men OF
ability and ambition are deprived
of deserved promotion, because
the path to pr.ferm en- is blocked
By the inept and decrepit.
Thousands of men and women
who have grown grey in the SER
vice of the nation find themselves
incapable of doing fair days
work. With the desperation Of
drowning men. either voluntarily
or involuntarily, they will drift
to the poor house. The heads
of departments haven't the heart
to remove them. 1t would he
like sentencing them to death.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
furnishes a striking illustration
of the workings of the system,
This bureau was organized about
quarter of a century ago. 1t
has been entrusted with many of
The most important industrial in
: vestigations authorized by Con-
gres, and its reports have attrac-
ted wide attention. Such men
as the late Carroll Wright and DR..
Charles P, Neill have directed its
activities and they gathered
around them an unusual body of
trained, specialists. Many OF
these experts served the nation
for a fraction of the salaries
which corporations were willing
and anxious to pay.
Only a few weeks ago DR.. Neil
resigned his $1,000 government
Job to accept place with the
Guggenheims at $4,000 a year.
Other employees of the bureau
have from time to time declined
most alluring offers while few
"a very few-have succumbed
to the temptation.
Many of those who remained
at their posts are growing old.
do not think it is an exaggera-
ton to say that a majority of all
the employees of the bureau are
pensioners. They draw their
salaries, but render practically
no service. In the face of this
situation, Congress has for years
refused to increase the bureaus
appropriation, and the institution
which has rendered the country
such splendid service is becoming
atrophied. If this dry rot" is
permitted to continue, it will on
ly be a few years until the work
of the bureau must cease by rea-
son of all it's employees becoming
superanuated.

mediately confronted with the fact
that at no other time and in no other
part of the world did an industrious
man ever have such an abundance of
employment offered him, or get SO
much in exchange for his days wages,
as in the United States at the close
of the last Republican administration,

unknown to the wage-worker then;
municipal surroundings then and now;
and the conditions under which the
children of working people are reared
today as compared with conditions
under which such children were reared
generation ago. These magnificent
improvements in the conditions and
opportunities of the working people of
America have come as the direct re-
suits of Republican protection. and the
people at large should understand that
it is this party with a record which
best can maintain good conditions
which they have developed. and de-
