The last democratic national plat
form declared that ''the law pertaining
to the civil service should be honestly
and rigidly enforced to the end that
merit and ability should be the stan
dard OF appointment. and promotion
rather than service to q political
party. And further that 'our pledges
are made to be kept when in once -
we'll az relied upon during the cam
paign, and we invite the cooperation
Of all citizens, regardless OF party, who
believe in maintaining unimpaired the
institutions and traditions Of our coun.
try"
Relying upon these assurances and
upon the protested friendship Of Mr..
Wilson to the merit system, large
proportion OF the earnest advocates Of
that system supported the democratic
party. What has been done In fulfill
ment Of this pledge?
The civil service act and the rules
apply not only to existing positions in
the service, but also to places created
by future legislation. That was the
condition of the civil service law when
this promise assured US 1t would be
maintained. But as soon as the demo.
cratic party began to enact important
laws 1t also began to chop of piece
meal the application Of the civil ser
vice law, both to those places which
we're created by new legislation as we'll
as to places which already existed.
A large number OF, employees were
provided for to administer the income
tax, and congress made all the posi-
lions in the field force of this service
the objects Of political plumber, taking
them out Of the operation Of the civil
service law by providing for their ap-
pointment for two years under regula-
tons fxed by the secretary Of the
treasury. The president signed the
bill. although he had the power to d.
rect the secretary to provide in the
regulations for the appointment Of,
these men by competitive tests. This
was the flrst breach Of the promise of
the platform.
The democratic majority next fasten-
ed rider on the urgent deficiency bill,
removing from the operation OF the law
deputy revenue collectors and deputy
positions which were al.
ready in the classified service. Presi-
dent Wilson signed this bill. Here was
another distinct violation Of the prom
ise both by congress and by the chief
executive himself.
Then the new banking law was en-
acted. All the employees Of the federal
reserve board created by that act were
excluded from the classified service
and the president again signed the
bill
Next, fourteen important positions Of
attaches credited to Ameri.
can ministers abroad were permanent
" removed from the merit system to
be made the spoils Of party and chang.
ed with each change Of administration.
Another important act Of the present
was the trade commits
sion bill. and in this all the attorneys
special experts and examiners were d
so excluded from the classified service.

The teacher was trying to explain
to her class the effects Of heat and

cold, says Pearson's Weekly She
told her little charges that an iron
bridge would expand several inches
in hot weather and contract like
amount in cold weather.
She then asked a little girl for an
other instance Of the expansion and
contraction caused by heat and cold.
The child hesitated for minute or

I'm hot weather the days are
longer; in cold weather they are
much shorter"

Revenge" said Bismarck, is a
delicacy that should always be eaten
cold" Had the Berlin Government
not forgotten this wise maxim it
would have spared Germany i'm
measurable trouble and immeasur-
able infamy.
The German submarine war-zone
policy was an act of revenge, but OF
revenge that has had no time to
cool. The British Government,
through superior sea power, had un-
dertaken to cut off German impota-
tions of food. and the German Gov
eminent refused to await the inevi-
table futility of such a policy. Sanity
was forced to give way ia Schreck-
lichkeit.
Had Berlin displayed ordinary
common sense and treated the Brit
ish starvation policy with contempt,
the neutral nations whose trade was
interfered with would have brought
Downing Street to terms. No Brit
ish Government could have resisted
the steady and persistent pressure OF
friendly neutral Governments. But
Berlin must need have its hot, seeth-
run amuck against friend and foe
alike. Its submarine policy is the
most CHASTITY failure of the war.
