Under Civil Service Chicago PEG.
pie Can Vote for Mayors, But
Can't Hold Jobs.
out.of.Town Hlehbrows Have the
Call for Fat Places In the City
Hall.

The Civil Service Commissioners Of
the city of Chicago have held liberal
views in regard to dispensing patron
age. This was particularly true when
there was rare plum to be picked.
They were not SO narrow.minded as to
restrict the choice pickings to citizens
of Chicago, by any means, but let
the competition to the whole world.
Official notices sent out Of prospective
examinations In such cases contain
the clause Local residence waived"
missioners is not to be wondered at,
for It is hardly conceivable that the
talent required Is to be found in a
city like Chicago, with its universities,
law schools and great mercantile
houses, where the highest develop.
ment of efficiency Is the aim. BY no
means. It is learned that some emf.
nent specialist to I'LL the vacant place
is hiding his light under bushel at
Wichita, Kan, or Columbus, Ohio. So
a voyage Of discovery Is inaugurated
and the savant Is discovered. Sam.
pies of these truths are to be found In
two conspicuous instances within a
few years.
The office Of librarian of the Public
Library was vacant and a civil service
examination for the place was or.
dered. No resident Of Chicago being
competent to flll the bill, It went to a
man from Madison, Wis. The salary
Is $1,000 year.
The commissioners decided to place
the position of its chief examiner and
ex.ofilcio secretary Of the Civil Serv.
Ice Board under the civil service. The
position commands $4,000 per annum.
Chicago being unable to produce the
intellectual giant needed to meet the
notions Of the commissioners, the
place went to man from Philadel-
phia. He took up his duties only
month or two ago.
Patrick F. Haynes has always
served the public well. He deserves
good Office.
With the aid OF the railroads and
their smoke, Chicago has grown from
nothing to be the fourth city in the
world. Electrifcation will be q step
backwards.
