Patronage and Reform
IA6i,aroa sanlie rI,rihilaoA

In its annual report, the National
Civil Service Reform league politely
requests Mr.. Hoover to put an end to
that arrangement which makes pres
idential postmasters virtually spells
of the party in power" It is plainly
shocked by the discovery that "only
those politically favored have received
appointment and that 1.-THE political
character of the selections is gener-
ally accomplished by the postoffice
department"
That this sense of shock will be
shared by anyone in Washington,
however, seems extremely unlikely,
and that the leagues protests will al
ter by a hairs -breadth the present
system of postoffice patronage is even
more So The fact Is that the league
has undertaken the budging of a prac-
tice which the years have shown to
be almost unbudgeable, and that
while we may admire its highly ideal
istic attitude toward presidential
postmasterships, so-called, it is al
most impossible to be impressed by
it's grasp of the harsh and somber po-
litical realities.
The unadorned truth that postoffice
patronage is a potent means of self
perpetuation for the party in power
may not be pleasant to contemplate,
but SO long as both parties share in
common the instinct to preserve them
selves, there is nothing to be gained
by ignoring the vigor and tenacity Of
that instinct. Postmasterships are
virtually the spoils of the party in
power" simply because that party
deems 1t more important to remain in
power, and to reward the laborers in
the party vineyards, than it does to
be painfully moral about the matter
Of appointments.
The league may feel rather sure
that neither the Republicans nor
Democrats, with four years Of patron
age distribution Immediately before
them, are very eager to foreswear the
primrose path. That they should be
eager to do so may be conceded as q
matter Of pure theory, but pure
theory has nothing whatsoever to do
with the practical demands Of po-
utics. How insistent and real are
these demands Is indicated by the
leagues own figures, which show that
only nine states operate under civil
service laws today. and that only $50
out Of $50 cities with population Of
10000 or more have any adequate sys-
tenn Of personnel control This does
not mean that the leagues efforts are
entirely hopeless, or that they are not
in the main commendable, but merely
that the league, Ia SO years of jealous
campaigning, has merely scratched
the surface Of reform. ss
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1932-03-04

The young man who sets out tc
write book usually fails entirely to
realize that he is entering one of the
most sharply competitive fields there
Is.
Offhand, it seems as if the man
with good yarn in his system ought
not to have much trouble getting it
printed. Lots of books get published
every year, and some of them are, to
put it mildly, middling poor. 1t
should be fairly simple to put one
over if it's any good at all.
But the reality is more discourage
ing.
A typical example is the case of E.
P. Dutton and Co., representative
publishing house.
This spring Dutton is publishing AZ
books. These were chosen from more
than 10000 manuscripts that were
submitted. OF the 10000, approx
mately 1900 were held worthy of SER
ious consideration, not only by the ed
itorial department but by the sales,
advertising, publicity and trade pro-
motion departments.
1T is is generally estimated says
John Macrae, Jr., vice president of
the firm, that most large publishing
houses receive about 10 times as many
manuscripts as they can give serious
consideration to. The others are OBJ
viously so poor that they have to be
refused without this careful consider
alton, in order not to clog up the edi-
torial offices and because of the ex-
pense involved-the actual reading of
a manuscript costs about $10.'
Nor is that the worst of it. OF the
AZ books this firm is publishing this
spring, only 10 are first books by new
authors. The other 80 are all by writ
ers who are we'll known to the public
and to the publishing trade.
What, then, is the aspiring young
author up against when he blithely
wraps up that distillation Of dreams
and desires which constitutes his man
uscript and consigns it to the mails?
He has just about one chance in a
thousand.
Do you hope to become a writer?
Think twice about it-think more
than twice, in fact, and accept the
fact that the odds are all against you,
and consider the added fact that even
if it gets published your book probably
won't make you any money. Then, if
you still feel you must write-go to
it, and good luck.
