THREE
SpoiIsmen on the Job

From Leslie s.
 Spoilsl President Wilson has declared that politics is adjourned" but civil service reform is being set at naught Ey our legislators. The House has already passed census bill which provides for the appointment of thousands of employees for the next census taking without com petitive civil service examination. The National Civil Service Reform league calls it ian inexcusable and bold attempt to get spoils." It would mean an esti- mated loss of years time and of $2000, 600 to the taxpayers. When President Roosevelt vetoed a similar bill he said he did not believe in the Jacksonian doc Urine that to the victor belongs the spells, and thought even less of the doctrine that the spells should be divided with out a fight by the professional politicians OF both sides" A reyersion to the spells system is particularly reprehensible at this time when economy and patriotism should characterize every public enter prise Should the bill vome to President Wilson, it is unthinkable that it would not receive his veto.
