son was in the White House. He is complaining now
and before my colleagues reelection to the Senate
was so close at hand he was demanding that Demo
cratic politicians be placed in office and that the Civil
Service Commission should be strapped" Senator
Norris made specific charges and quoted Hiteheoeks
secretary to show that he was a spells man OF the
most exaggerated type during the Democratic admin
~istration-
1t is common opinion throughout official Wash
ington that Senator Harreld. of Oklahoma, was well
within the bounds of truth when he stated that there
are several departments and bureaus in Ws<ninston
which "are reeking with disloyalty to the administer
ton and the sooner these disloyal officials are disposed
of the better it will be for the administration and the
entire government"
1t is n matter of record that during the war the
Democratic administration placed tens Of thousands
of Democrats in federal positions in the various de-
partments, bureaus and commissions at Washington,
without the slightest pretence at civil service exam
ination. They were given positions for no other
reasons than that they were Democrats After they
were safely in their jobs blanket orders were issued
automatically placing them under protection Of civil
service. After the armistice when the Republican
Congress cut appropriations, thus compelling a radical
reduction of personnel in many of the departments
the Democratic bureau chiefs dismissed Republicans
rather than Democrats. Thus it was when the Repub-
lican administration came into power March, 1897,
it found the federal departments and bureaus over
whelmingly Democrats.
These Democratic employees have never been loyal
to the present Republican administration BY TINS
is not meant politically loyal because the Republican
administration does not expect Democratic employees
to change their political faith. By ~disloylaty is meant
refusal of the Democratic employees to work in har-
mony with the administration to carry out the policy
of economy, TO speed up the work, to increase their
efficiency and otherwise to give an honest loyal days
work in return for their pay. The administration
feels that it has as much right to expect whoiehearted
cooperation from federal employees regardless OF their
political affiliations as any other corporation. II
feels that when an employe, whether he be a head
of a bureau, a clerk or a stenographer, Hays down
on the Job, kills time, does slovenly work. takes occa-
sion to crap" the policy of his superiors, is a disturber
and malcontent, that it is time to get nd OF HIM
There is not the least doubt but that there are thou
sands of such employees in the federal departments at
Washington. They are now claiming sanctuary oy
pleading they are protected by the civil service.

The public is weary of abuse OF authority upon

Tmnulfy Gels His

THE WILSON-TUMULTY incident simply confirms
i the thing that everybody has known ever since
Mr.. Wilson first took up school teaching as a liveli-
hood. So long as the party of the second part is
willing to serve, accept instructions and keep his
mind in the Wilson groove there is a possibility of get
ting on, if something else don't happen; but when
the second party SO far forgets himself as to assume
to speak for the first party or on his behalf without
previous designation and instruction he is out of
luck.
There is scarcely a man of originality, brains or
character, who started out with Wilson but landed
in the discard and was pleased thereat. The only
reason Tumulty did not reach the discard earlier is
because he is not the kind of man described.
