Civil Service Abuse.

No question has been brought up during the
present session OF Congress in which the citizens
Of the District can be expected to take kccncr
interest than the matter OF violation OF the civil
service rule. While the manner in which the
issue has been raised by Senator Pcnrose is en-
trcy POLITICAL it has an economical significance
here that makes it almost vital to the bulk OF the
residents OF the nations Capital
A very large majority OF the citizens OF the
District are in some way connected with or de-
pendent upon the inviolabi1ity OF the civil service
laws. The tenure OF office OF large majority
OF the taxpayers depends upon the rigid enforce
mcnt OF the merit system. If there has been any
attempt made to disregard the law; ii there IS
any danger that this administration or any future
administration ignore the civil service law,
that fact is considerably more than the side issue
OF political campaign to the citizens OF the Dis
trict Their very existence depends upon it.
There be no question that there have been
abuses OF the civil service exemption rule There
can be question that there have been numcr-
Gus appointments made through favor bv the set
ting aside OF the law. Whether the Wilson ad-
ministration has been a greater offender than
other administrations will certainly be brought
cut in response to the resolutions the Senate has
adopted.
But no matter what facts may be uncovered in
the report that the Civil Service Commission
makes to the Senate, there is one thing that is
sure: The exact status of the civil service en-
Dloye will come in for lengthy discussion, and
there will be rcafirmaton of the belief Of the
existing parties in the value OF a rigid enforce
mcnt OF the law in the future. There can be no
question but that the public service is benefited
by rigid observance of the merit rule There
can be no question but that the man who feels
reasonably secure in his office is more likely to
give the public honest days work than the
man who knows he is held there by political in
Huencc and is busy most OF his time keeping this
influence active

year. vividly remembered the coming
of Ex President Monroe to New York
city. in 1925. with intent to practice
law. Mr.. Silliman once said that this
action OF an ex-president who had
served two terms. was not looked upon
with favor by many OF the people.
They thought that Monroe should fol-
low the example of his predecessors,
Madison, jefferson. Adams and Wash
ington. who retired TO serene domestic
life, occupied with their estates.
But wnen it was known that Monroe
was compelled to take up the practice
Of law. since he had left the presi-
dency presumably iG debt. certainly
without competence. then there was
sympathy fer him and an effort was
made 10 bring to him a prohtablc law
practice.
So, Mr. Snliman said. the citizens OF
New York who lived between 1926 and
1888 saw the president who was the
author Of the Monroe doctrine. who
had an admirable record for clg
years as president. pIOddiGE away in
his law office. completing the selling
Of his library in the hope that he
would receive for it enough to give
him a moderate income II it were well
invested.
Nj. SuIiman was fond OF pointing out
the modest little brick house in Prince
street. New York. where this great
eN-prcsideut lived while he was prac-
ticing Law IN New York.

When Grover Cleveland retired TO
private life a the end of his nrst term
as president, announcement was made
that he would resume the practice of
law. having become associated with
one of the leading law firms Of the
United states. Many persons spoke
win some astOnishment Of the resump-
ton Of practice At the tar by an eX-
president OF the United States. The
comment frequently made was that
Mr.. Cleveland was the first Of tie
American presidents to resume bust
ness or professional activity after
having served as president Of the
United States. There was much dis
cussion based upon the question, What
snail We do with oIr eX-president?"
MIR. Cleveland, whose attention was
called to this discussion, said that there
was nothing for the American people
to do with their cX-preSident except to
give him a chance to earn a living.
But Grover Cleveland was not the
first Of the eX-presidents to take uD
active professional life after having
served as president of the United
States. James Monroe was the first
eX-president to resume professional ac-
tivitics.

An alleged king of white slavcrs" has made
a series OF confessions in New York that sound
much like fiction. There undoubtedly is some
truth in the mans assertions even though they
are highly colored Many will doubt that even
in New York girls may be bought by the pound,
but very few will doubt that an extensive white
slave traffic is carried in every large city in
the country. In Baltimore a few months ago a
commission OF Investigators revealed the ctys
wee. Yet the vice could be seen without the aid
OF telescope in the best lighted and most
crowded streets any night by a person desirous
OF seeing, And today Baltimore's vice is Just as

Let twinkle or two kind OF sozzle about
And drown all suggestion of sorry things out.
