The Civil Service law.
New Haven COurier-JOunal) J

(New Haven Courier-J ounal)
The state of Conn ecticut has never
recovered from the discredit of emas-
culating the civil service law from the
meanest Of political motives. 1t was
enough for the spOils hunters to draw
their knives when they found that the
law blocked their way to the recovery
Of offices filled by men of the opposite
party. 1t would have been more
creditable had the offices sought been
dignified ones. If a man insists upon
being a criminal he might just as we'll
be a high class one. If political
party is going to steal Offices it might
just as we'll steal big ones.
The reasons for emaSCulatlng the
civil service law were contemplate
and the manner in which the law was
emsculated was even more so. To
sacrifice a principle which ha received
full vindicatiOn in a thousand diff
ferent ways in order to recover the
ianitorship of the state capitol build
ing can find it's paallel only in some
one of the low down tricks of Tam
many hall. The behavior of the spOllS-
men provoked the wrath of citizens
who had never given much thought to
the civil service principle IN spite OF
fts likeness in purpose to the rules
which govern every successful COM
mercial underta king. If the civil serN-
ice principle had not been working
voluntarily in this country since the
spirit of discipline overlook all large
business undertakings, our captains or
industry would never in the world
have risen from the ranks and our ma
tiOnal industrial supremacy would
never have been acquired. The prln-
chile Of the civil service is nothing
more or less than the recognition OF
service well performed following the
ascertaincd fitness of applicants for
public employment.
The Civil Service Reform aSsocla-
ton will ask the legislature to
strengthen the law in behalf of an eff
fcient administration of the states
business. IF the Legislature has the
courage of its convictions it will do
one of two things IT will either make
the law an effective one or it will re-
peal it altogether. 1t will avoid sup
porting law which was conceived in
the pettiest partisan spirit and INKS
itself with the various adverse forces
which defeat efficient and honest gov
ernment

Hardino'S Address.
{ AnsOnia ScntineD

The first challenge in the preSden-
tial campaign of 1920 may be said to
have been uttered by Senator Harding
of Ohio, thought to be one of the
proba BILE candidates for the republic
can nomination for the presidency, in
his address Yesterday before the SEN
ate, when he charged that the spread
of red terror" in Europe had been
accelerated and given impetus by
some Of the carelessly flung oratory
of the president during the course Of
the war when the head of this ma
ton talked f1uently and with entire
ignorance of the ideals of "peace
without victory" Of war without
preparedness and Of matters upon
which the plain people, months be-
fore his own conversion to sanity, had
very intelligent and sound ideas. To
Senator Harding and others of the
presidents critics there has been too
much fluent conversation backed by
too little practical common sense re-
ga rding the duties of democracy in
the settlement of the great war. The
American people wish to stand back
of the president as long as he truly
represents them but they hope that
he will thus represent them overseas.
His critics think that he will not do
so but the ony proof OF TINS pudding
is the eating. Let us wait, then, UNI

Representative Rector of Claiborne
county has introduced a bill in the
Tennessee General Assembly which,
while drastic, will he says prove a
panacea to election ills. 1t provides
that "any person, directly or indirect
ly, who gives, promises or bestows
any reward, in meat, money, drink or
otherwise, to be elected to office, shall
be rendered incapable for six years
to serve in the office to which he was
elected"
Also that any voter "who shall dir
ectly or indirectly receive any gifts
or reward for his vote in meat, money
etc, shall be punishable by a fine of
not less than one dollar, nor more
than fifty dollars, or by imprison-
ment in county Jail for one year, or
BOTH" and shall be deprived of the
right to hold office, to vote an e sit
upon juries; and shall, if convicted,
not be restored to citizenship for a
period of six years after date Of con-
viction.
This bill evidently applies. to Clai-
borne county only, and there can be
but one objection to its enactment -
it should be a state-wider.
