Convention at Baltimore had deciar-
ed in it's platform: THE law pertain
ing to the civil service should be hon.
estly and vigorously enforced, to the
end that merit and ability should be
the standard Of appointment and pro-
motion, rather than service rendered
to a political party"
One month after he had been elected
President of the United States Wood
row Wilson declined reelection as vice.
president Of the Civil Service Reform
League, and then said: Il beg you to
believe that my interest in and my
sympathy with the work Of the Civil
Service Reform League has not been
and cannot be abated."
For several months this League has
been endeavoring to reduce to a mimi
mum the element Of partisan politics
governing the selection and retention
Of the postmasters Of the country. and
in a recent letter to President Wilson
they urged him to adopt "a fixed pol
icy Of retaining in Office all postmas-
ters who had entered the service OF
the government through competitive
examination, and who had secured
their appointments through promotion
in the service from time to time be-
cause Of their demonstrated merit and
capacity"
This communication was referred to
Postmaster General Burleson for re-
ply, Mr. Daniel Roper called in as con-
fierce The reputation of these gentle
men as spoilsmen has never been
equalled. Mr.. Burleson replied that
such a policy as the League advocated
was mot practicable" and could not
be adopted under present conditions"
which is postoff1ce language for ''un-
der this Democratic administration"
The League appealed and cited in
stances Of men who during the Repub-
lican regime had been advanced for
merit from letter carriers, step by step.
until they had become postmasters, or
other important officials. But still Mr..
Burleson remains obdurate. The Post
master General is confidant Of Mr..
Wilson, one Of the political managers
of the administration, and in speaking
as he does he voices the sentiments of
the President, that Is, the presiden-
tial sentiments Of 1915. Who was it
said in 1912, Our platform is not mo-
lasses to catch flies?"
