ALBANIAN KILLS
FINE GOLDEN EAGLE
BIG BIRD WAS ENDEAvoRING TO
CARRY OFF A KID WHEN SHOT
DOWN BY OWNER OF THE
BLEATING ANIMAL.

Centerville, Ala, Feb. liam
bert Gentry, young white man liv-
ing near Active, Bibb county, Ala,
brought to the court house here re-
Gently an enormous golden eagle,
which measured seven feet four inches
from the tip of one wing to the tip
of the other. He shot and killed the
eagle as same was devouring good
sized kid. Gentry had been missing
his goats for several days and finally
reached the conclusion that a strange
bird, which had been seen in the
neighborhood, was doing the damage,
whereupon he built blind near his
flock of goats and when this enor-
nous bird swooped down upon one
of the kids he fired and killed it. He
soon found out that the bird which
was one of the largest golden eagles
ever seen in this part of the state.
The bird has been turned over to
Postmaster Cleveland, who will have
same mounted. The bird was exhibit
ed at the court house and attracted a
great deal of attention, as many per-
sons here had never seen a genuine
golden eagle before.

creasing amount of construction work

'sThe Southeast is busy, and feels

attempt was repeated ten years later
with such senators as Webster, Clay
and Calhoun voting for the repeal,
and condemning the act in most en-
phatic language. About this time
Andrew Jackson had succeeded to the
presidency. He not only favored the
-Four Year Tenure" act but also
adopted the "spoils SYSTEM" which is
the present mode of electing govern
ment officers in the United States.
During his administration there were
between six and nine hundred re-
movals from office, apparently for
political reasons only. Up to the
present day the government offices
are the spoils of the victor in a large
per cent of instances, except perhaps,
in the instance of the fourth-class
postmasters, which during Mr.. Taft's
administration were put under the
civil service rules, or rather the Civil
Service Commission. But even these
are handled, and appointments made,
by politicians for political reasons as
has already been demonstrated in
Florida, in some of our neighboring
counties. Hence, we see, know and
feel the great need of this most i'm
portant movement "Civil Service Re
FORM" There was therefore so much
abuse generated by this spoils sys-
tenn there was prescribed competitive
examinations for admission into the
service. This is known as the "Civil
Service Reform.
The rules for the civil service re-
form, are, first, the candidate must
be citizen of the United States; sec
ond, they are compelled to furnish
satisfactory evidence as regards
character, health and age; third, pass
satisfactory examination in spell
ing, reading and writing the English
language.
1t is simply a matter of securing
honest and efficient administration
of the government; and the sole justi-
fication of any type of government
lies in its proving itself both honest
and efficient.
There are places where written
competitive examination cannot be
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-02-03

Civil service is any government
position, except those of the Army
and Navy, obtained through compe-
titive examination.
Civil Service Reform is the name
given in the United States to GER
tain changes in the mode of appoint
ing subordinate officers, and in the
conditions of their tenure
1t was the intention of the found
ers of our government, that admins
trative officers should hold office
through good behavior. Washington,
during his administration, made this
statement: "In every nomination to
office I have endeavored, so far as
my own knowledge extended or in
formation could be obtained, to make
fitness of character my primary OBJ
ject.''
With the exception of president and
president, there was no fixed
term of office, and for forty years
this plan was followed to such an
extent that the removal of a merit
orious office was an improbable Of
Tense. During this period of forty
years there were only seventy re-
novals from office and these were all
on account of incompetency or mis-
conduct.
But in 1920 what is known as the
"Four Year Tenure Act" was passed
and the spoils system came into
vogue; which means, "to the victor
belongs the spoiIs," or in other words,
whichever political party was victor
ious and came into power, to them
and their relatives and friends fell
all the government positions. Refer
ing to this "Four Year Tenure Act"
President jefferson said: "The late
mischievous law vacating every four
years nearly all the executive offices
of the government, sapps the consti-
tutional and salutary functions of the
president and introduces principal
of intrigue and corruption which will
soon leaven the mass, not only of
senators but of citizens"
In 1925, after practical experience
of its workings, an unsuccessful at
tempt was made to repeal it. This

New Orleans and the treasurer, Mrs.
n. =. Bartlett, also of New Orleans.
The afternoon meeting was chiefly
occupied with reports from the diff
ferent states as 20 the progress Of

most interesting speeches was made

interesting report of the progress of
suffrage in louisiana Mrs. James

the most encouraging reports of the
afternoon was that of Mrs. Ida Por-
ter-Boyer, describing the southern
press service.
A number of prominent speakers
were on the program for the night
meeting, Mrs. Harriet Stanton
Blatch, Of New York; Miss Laura
Clay, Of Kentucky; Mrs. John Lewis,
Of Lynchburg, Va. and others.
Sundays meeting was open to the
public, its subject being suffrage in
connection with social welfare work,

morning, after the election of officers
and the plans for future work were
discussed. Nine hundred dollars
was raised in pledges for the cause.
