CIVIL SERVICE SECRECY

The Civil Service Reform Associa-
ton of New York City has found 200
persons on the city payroll in viola
ton of the civil service law. When
the National Civil Service Reform
League tried TO make an investigation
of the national payroll, the officers of
that organization were refused access
to the records. Even the Civil Service
Commission, supposed to be guarding
the interests of civil service reform,
would not grant an inspection of the
records in its custody. If New York
city officials would only pattern after
national authorities, the 200 illegal
appointments would not have been
discovered.

C~0NSCRIPTS ARE NOT
.SLACKERS-

Objections to the CONSUMPTION plan
of raising an army we're ~undoubtedly
due largely to the odium which has
long been attached to the draft
measure which was resorted to due
ing the Civil War. We began that
wal with a volunteer system of en-
listment, and when volunteers were
not forthcoming we offered bQun.ies,
which gradually increased in amount.
Finally the draft became necessary,
and those men who were called in this
manner were looked upon as men who
would neither volunteer through a
feeling of patriotism nor respond TO
the inducements of a bounty.
There Is no good reason, however.
why the CONSUMPTION method now
adopted by the United States should
place any mark of disgrace upon
those who are called through its pro-
visions. Nevertheless, there is dan
ger that in public comment, and III
unexpressed opinions, there will be a
sentiment that men who are selected
under the consumption system are
"slackers' at heart and responded
only because they were compelled to
do so. That attitude of the public
mind would necessarily place con-
scripted citizens in an u%nfavorable
and undesirable repute.
For the good of the army and the
individuals who compose it, it is of
utmost Importance that we avoid any
such frame of mind. Consumption is
nothing more nor less than the desig-
nation of the service each is under
obligations as a citizen to render for
his country. Men who wait until they
are conscripted are doing nothing
more nor less than exercising their
privilege and their duty. Men do not
go to the tax collector to pay their
taxes before they have been assessed
or the amount of the tax levied. Fail
ure to go in advance to pay taxes does
not carry with it any stigma of dis
grace. Neither is the taxpayer who
waits until the last day to pay his
taxes held to be a disloyal citizen.
Reasoning by anology, we reach the
necessary conclusion that the citizen
who waits until he has been notified
of his selection under the conscrip-
ton law, before entering the military
service. is not properly an object of
reproach.
The real test is whether a man
promptly responds when called and
faithfully performs his duty there
after. If this be done, the man who
is thus called to the colors is entitled
to the highest esteem as a loyal Amer
lean citizen, and is entitled to the
deepest gratitude from his fellow citi-
zens who are not called upon to rem
der similar service.
The consumption system is the only
equitable and entirely defensible plan
of raising an army. Those who did
not volunteer were merely exercising
their right in awaiting the enactment
of a law which would determine
which men should render military
service and when they should respond.
General recognition of this and will
ingness to accord the full honor to
which the conscripted men are enti-
tied will do much to make their serv-
ice more agreeable to them and will
establish a higher esprit de corps.
