they were not fellows that j would

Questions Civil Service.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The Attorney General has some
good founded reasons in asking for
the abolishment OF the Civil Service.
for there's no other employment
agency in the country where so
many "mugwumps" or "non-partici-
pating citizens" find a soft berth. 1t
Is surprising the number OF en-
ployes residing in the nearby States
who have the privilege of exercis-
ing their greatest gift OF a Re-
public: that of voting. although II
appears they have even lost that
energy. while II they were political
appointees they would take enough
interest even to vote. This writer
has always voted. although several
hundred miles from home. but when
IT came for a reduction in the forces
of a certain department. was the
first TO be dropped. while the
"drones," or sleepy citizens" who
do uot take enough interest in
their government to vote. were re-
tanned.
OF course. there are two sides to
every question. but I am happy to
see somebody take it upon them :
selves to awaken the spirits out oil
'slumberland."

Defends Civil Service.
.he Edition. The Wa.hlnEton Herald !:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald;
Your correspondent. L. c. Gritth'
in a letter to The Herald makes
the broad assertion that the CIVIL
Service examinations are failure.
I quote him: "A fair test OF the
efficiency OF the government serN-
ice is the esteem in which 1t is
held by the people. Judged by this
test the Civil Service is a failure.
when was'this test made, Mr.. G.'
when did the 100. 100000 of AmerI-
cans express their dissatisfaction
with the Civil Service as means
Of obtaining the most desirable en-
ployes for the government? AS
matter of fact, is not that mere
assertion of yours without any
nroof to sustain it? Mr.. G. seems
to fnd some comfort from Mr..
Daugherty, the Attorney General.
who thinks the Civil Service shou.1 4
be abolished and that he would
substitute political committee
either Democratic or Republican
in preference. II such a change
were made why should II DC
thought a Congressional committee
would be more effective in securing
efficient men and women than the
Civil Service Commission?
/. 1t would be return to the
spoils system which did not al
ways consider the applicants quail
ifications for the position. but
rather his political or personal in
fluence.
2. This Congressional committee
would be overrun by members OF
Congress to obtain position for
some constituent of theirs in order
to pay some political debt.
Senator Moses has been frank
enough to admit it. He said: IF
I had the power / would dismiss
every Democrat in the government
service and appoint Republicans
who were in sympathy with the
Republican administration" In that
event Congress would have to re-
peal the law forbidding govern
ment employees from ''rernicious
activity in political matters"
AS IL is now, while employees of
the government have their political
! preferences during an election, as
soon as II Is over they become at
once reconciled to the result and
think no more about IT.
1t must be evident to every In
telligent fair-minded person that
It would be detrimental to the serv-
ice to return to the spoils system.
Verily,I believe the Senators and
members Of Congress would oppose
it. Under the old system they made
perhaps five enemies for each. ap-
pointment made. 1t was n nuisance
under the old system which Rep
resentatives were well rid Of. One
has the right to assume II has no
other basis than a political move.

The Farmer Sees a Rainbow.

THERE is no small degree of satisfaction in
reading the War Finance Corporations busi-
outlook for April.
The winter of our discomfort is over. With
planting and chicken Matching days near at hand
the farmer approaches his years task with more
confident spirit than he knew last year.
A strong demand for cattle has developed.
Sheep and lamb markets have continued strong
Hogs, and wheat bringing better prices.
These prices, the report states, paid where they
will have the quickest reacton-at country points
in the belt.
Statistics do little to improve the farmers
spirits. Quick sales and actual cash in hand exert
very marked influence.
Good range conditions for the summer already
arc indicated in some States. The drought has
broken in the Southwestern wheat region. The
growing feeling that it is possible to market sugar
a healthier tone to business.
Financial conditions have improved greatly as
a result both of improved markets and better ar
rangerhents for financing agricultural and livestock
operations.
Bank deposits have increased in many agricul-
tural communities and the country banks are in a
stronger position than they have been for long
time.
The farmer usually is stockholder in or a
director of his local bank. He is apt to base his
business confidence a great deal on the affairs OF
that bank Through 1 he keeps in touch with the
great world of markets With its deposits increas-
he steps on the gas lever of his tractor.

Washington boulevards again is at hand
High school classes in their Sabbath best,
-chaperoned by nervous, spectacled young men and
prim. austere little schoolma'ams arrive at Union
Station nearly every day. They visit the Washing
ton Monument, watch Congress in session at the
cost OF few Illusions shake hands with the Presi-
dent-and hoine again.
1t is difficult for Washngtonans, full of that
hall contempt born CT familiarity, to appreciate the
feelings these impressionabc young men and women
carry home with them. There might be a daily
humorous column for Capital newspapers clipped
from the Podunk On. j. Banner, the Harmony
(Mch.) Sentinel. and such journals. 1t would con-
sist of the stories these voyageurs tell of the Ma
tional Capital
Only few years ago the high school trip to
Washington too often was the only time in their
lives that the girls, especially strayed far
from their home village. The memories stayed
with them all their days They told their and
daughters about it.
And how many boys, watching the House in
session, have made up their minds day to sit
in that assembly?
1t is good old American custom, this high
school trip TO Washington. The four years in some
village high school ends in blaze OF educational
glory The student has been in intimate touch with
the forces OF government. He has a claim to dis
tncton among the less Travelled IN his corner OF the
county He has learned, better than any textbook
could convey the lesson to him. that we have a
truly democratic government. For has he,
John Jones, OF Podunk, captain of the Podunk
High School ball team, shaken the hand of the
Nations Chief Executive, chatted a moment with
him. perhaps?
And while these boys and girls from the him
terland throng here, patriotic duty dcvolves on
permanent residents OF Washington. They are
given the strongest in the world why the
city should be at its best why no eyesores should
. exist We want to send word back home, conveyed
in the enthusiastic language of which only boys
and girls OF high school age capable, of a
great, clean, white city, city OF vision a fitting
Capital of great nation. And small things, some
times, will destroy the impression.
