Civil Service ReauIreme nts

Sir wonder II there any OF the
more active Of civil service rerormers who
have been tempted 10 test their system by
trying for a government position. Maybe II
they had they would not be quite en-
thuSiastc about Il as they are at times
Any one who has made an attempt to get a
position either with Uncle Sam. the state
the county or the city knows how hard II is
sven TO set ones application on hle, not to
speak OF the many educational requirements
demanded Of one.
The present torn of application for one
OF the better paid federal positions Is six
PAGES in extent and comprises lot OF un-
necessary questions, many OF which are the
height OF official inqui uisltveness, 1t Is a
well-settlod rule OF action that questions
which are irrelevant TO the subject matter
need not be answered. In other words. q
person need not disclose anything which
could perchsnce be used against him. Then
why 10 II that the civil service commission
srs want TO know very much about a per
sen which Is OF a purely personal nature and
has no relation whatever TO his ability 10
perform certain dut!es7 Il seems to me
they go entirely too far in asking why one
was discharged from some prior position.

who speaks several different languages. He

Ths other day no tried 70 get position as
guard at one OF the city Institutions, and
'N,as finally rejected because on physical eI-
animation he showed signs OF having had en-
isrGed veins ~ one time.
Why Ia man OF forty or ftty years dis
qualified for such position? After all,
what relation Is there between person 8
age and his ability TO perform some spccIhr
work7 Cannot person OF hfty, or oven
SIXTY, do any kind Of office work as wsl as
a. thirty-hve? Evidently not Judging from
the way civil service boards act Il Is no

Open Spaces for Recreation

TO the Editor Of the Ererino Public Led0sr;
sir--As the season is approaching when
outdoor sports will again be INDUCED IN 10
q great extent and there will begin again
the clash between the sunday observers ana
those opposed would It not be well for the
Mayor TO appoint committee to go INTO
the matter and SEQ II compromise couio
not be reached
There should be soma way out OF this
dilemma. Undoubtedly Il Is not fair Tor
any one TO do anything that will! annoy
some one else. Every one has his own rights
and they should be respected. don't thlnk
that the vacant lots in the city limits are
the places for the baseball teams 10 con-
Eregate and play games on sundays or any
other days, II their noise and actions would
annoy any OF the residents In the neighoor-
hood. A man living opposite one OF these
vacant lots, and a taxpayer, has a perfect
right to protest any nuisance that taxes
place on this lot. Just as the househoIde
can make a protest when a neighbor De-
comes a nuisance. There are laws on our
statute books against annoyances and NUS
ances.
What the Mayor should DO would be 10
IND open lots within easy reach OF the CITY

Day, and where they could not possibly an

should not there be several recreation parks
supported by the city located near enough
that every one who so desired could go al
little expense? Here away from the city
they could make all the noise they wished
and their sport could be INDUCED in to
their hearts content. There should be
place for sports OF every character, ana a

Philippines and Hawaiians Friendly


TO the Editor Of the Euerino Public Ledger;
Slr-I am now convinced that your read
ers generally havo agreed with me In what
said about the foreigners In the merchant
marine, and especially those who are al
ways knocking the United States. I want
to say something to the Filipino wife who
answered my letter through your Peoples
Forum. am sorry I overlooked in my
letter the including OF the F1lIpinos. l
have been on ships with many OF this ma.
tionality. and always found them to be very
good friends: also the Hawalians. have
never heard either OF these people knock
our country.
also note what Tho Eagle" says about
my going to the Legion and getting up a
petition about foreigners in American ships.
etc. Il would be useless and only waste
OF time and postage. The government knows
It and so do the owners, Tho shipping
8rd knows all about IT, They are doing
lot of talk but no action You can see
for yourself that the American people are
protesting about immigration. But what
good Is Il doing7 Also see what good is
coming out OF the men protesting because
they have received no bonus.
have noted what your correspondents
have said about most Of the men having
come out Of tho army better than they
went into IT, l wish TO differ. I doubt
whether 10 per cent are as physically At
today as they when they went to
France. My heart was affected in the army.
and am quite weak. but am not asking
for any compensation, but merely that
the boys be given Justice.
