THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW IN
CONGRESS.

The Civil Service Law is now indi
rectly before Congress, and the Post
Office Appropriation Bill before the
House of Representatives at the present
session, contains rider. A rider is
provision in bill not really pertinent
to the bill, but which pertains to the
subject matter of the bill. This rider
in the Appropriation Bill provides that
twenty four hundred assistant post
masters shall be appointed without re
gard to the Civil Service Law.
In word. it is, 50 far as the APP
pQlntment Of these twenty-four hun
dred assistant postmasters are concerned.
a repeal or suspension of the Civil Serv-
ice Law.
This action by the Democratic House
o. Representatives, has evoked severe
criticism by the advocates of the Civil
Service Law. The truth Of the whole
matter is, that the public sentiment
OF the people is utterly opposed to the
Civil Service Law.
The people have grown tired of this
law. and for the very best of reasons.
So far as the practical operation of the
Civil Service Law is concerned, it has
proved to be farce and fraud. The
operation of it under the Republican ad
ministration of the government, it has
be gigantic political machine, rami
fed throughout by the grossest unfair
ness and injustice.
But even if fairly and honestly exc
cuted, this law is dangerous and vic
ious system, and it violates the funda-
mental principles Of this free Demo-
cratic, representative government.
The fundamental principle Of our gov
eminent is Equal Rights to All, and
Special Privileges to None"
The Civil Service Law creates
special and favored class, who upon an
examination are appointed to Office by
board Of men-merely ordinary men,
with all of mems favoriteism. prejudice
and weaknesses. These men are ap-
pointed to hold office for life, and when
they reach certain age, they can re-
tire on a pension. In fact, this law
creates an unlimited class who are pen
stoned on the government for life, and
if it remains the law Of this country.
we will probably in few years, haye
more pensioners than there will be
workers We are liable to reach a
stage when it will take all that the act
ual workers can make to support the
pensioners 1t is not this only that is
Objectionable in this law, but it creates
a special class is clearly proved, because
the Civil Service office holders are re-
ferred to always by the government as
the classified office holders
IF considered, it must be seen by all,
that when we establish this class under
these terms are holders for life. and that it
d bars every other citizen from ever
holding any of these offices.
This is grossly unjust to every other
citizen, for every Office under this gov
ernment of the people, ought to be
open and free to every man and woman,
who needs or desires to hold an office
under the government. All citizens
ought to have an equal right to the
government positions. There ought to
be but one test, and that is honesty and
the capacity to fill it.
OF course there are few positions
under this, as under every other gov
ernment that require and can only be
filed by those with technical educa

Mass Convention Called for
June 9th

The Democrats of Calhoun
county will again have a chance
to assemble in mass convention
at the Courthouse for the pur-
pose of nominating a county tick
ct. that being the method decid-
ed upon by the County Execu-
tive Committe. which met here
Monday. The convention will
be held on the first Saturday in
June, or the 9th.
The committee is composed of
the following leading Democrats:
G. A. Jarvis, chairman; r. E.
Hays, secretary; A. G. Mathews,
treasurer; Asa M. Maze, of Sher-
idan district; S. H. Wilson, of
Sherman district; w. H. Jackson,
Of Center district; G. w. Hard
man, of Lee district; and Bee
Hopkins, of Washington district.
All the members of the commit
tee were present except the
treasurer, Mr.. Mathews.
The committee began it's work
promptly at one o'clock, the time
set forth in the call and the
Courthouse was comfortably
crowded with representative
Democrats from all sections of
the county. The interest mani
tested in the first committee
meeting of the campaign is re-
garded by local Democrats as a
token of the great enthusiasm
which is to be found this year
among all Democrats and which
makes the future look dark for
the Republicans and Progress
sives.
After the call for the meeting
had been read the chairman
called for an expression from the
candidates and people as to the
mode and time of selecting can
didates. Several speeches were
made by the proponents of both
the primary plan and the mass
convention and sentiment SEEM
ed to be rather equally divided
as to the method of nominating
candidates. S. H. Wilson then
moved that mass convention be
held at the Courthouse on Satur-
day, June 9th, for the purpose
of nominating county and dis
trict candidates, selecting dele
gates to the various state and
district conventions and select
ing an executive committee.
This motion was seconded by
Mr.. Hopkins, of Washington
district, and when put to a vote
was carried.
The chairman, secretary and
treasurer were appointed a COM
mittee to prepare rules and an
order of business for the govern
ment of the convention, after
which the committee adjourned
to meet June 9th for the pur-
pose of declaring the nominees of
the convention.
The formal call for the conven-
ton, together with the rules and
regulations prepared by the COM
mittee will be published in full
in next weeks issue of the
Chronicle.
