CIVIL SERVICE CHARGES
REFORM LEAGUE REPORT.
So Evidence of Coercion of Office
holders Under Roosevelt.
the result sf an Investigation relative to the
".j v «;y of federal officeholders in politics made by
special committee of the National Civil Service
Ppfcrm I>eacue. composed of Samuel H. Ordway.
picliard H. 1 wna. Robert D. Jenks. Lucius B.
Swift and Elliot H. Goodwin, the following recom
•neßdations have been made in a report just is
sued:
The extension by the" President of the classified
competitive service to the utmost limit that the
i-w Slow* legislation by Congress permitting the
SisslfloaOon of the ofiVeers whose appointment is
-ow subject to confirmation by the Senate, but who
nerfbrn* j purely ministerial functions; a clearer
definition S»d strengthening of the executive order
governing political activity in the unclassified ser
vice a»d the vesting of the power to investigate
arising under this order in the Civil Service
Commission or some other body independent of
dYpartmer.Ml dictation.
Of the more than 300,000 passes in the federal
pervi< c 222-125 are embraced in the competitive
classified list, but those not on • Ilia list, the report
says. Mre tilled by mon of ability, thoroughly skilled
in political manipulation, who. with few excep
tions, hold theft- pianos through the. recommenda
tion of some politician. Congressman or Senator.
In the main. jit I? stated, the federal service is effi
cient. Of the South the rej>ort says:
The officeholders in the South practically con
t-r,,i the BepaUican party organization in their re-
Bt>ective states and frequently resort to unfair
mear* in order to retain their power. Their sup
port 'is a tremendous political ass> t to any candi
date f^ ir nomination. As the Southern Democratic
ftatee have as m&ny votes in the Republican rsa
tioial convention i»s the Republican states of equal
... under ordinary circumstances the
Southern fidesiiea would control the balance of
Sower In the national convention. These organiza -
*i „,,« controlled by officeholders are mainly inter
«'"e<i 1^ the distribution of the patronage nd the
Tiariirg ll * de'e.eates to conventions. It is not to
the interest ot "these ofiicehoKling cliques to elect
TVTv-itiuan < > <<ncro.=«:men or to bring about party
«3wtti' and party success, which wottld mean cur-
Siimfnt ot toss of the control of the patronagee.
Esmecial attention is call . to President Taft's
Ej:>eech at Greensboro. N. C, July ?, li*t'6, when he
saia:
The question which should address itself to the
FTrRt business imeiests of the .- ith is how much
fongf- the spectre of tilings pa>t is to hold them
to sr. allegiance that does them no good in na
tional pelWca ana deprives their communities of
tive inestimable l>encnt of two parties, each of
wfcicli. If W does wrong, lias a real chance of be
irx paaßhed for iis misconduct The struggle for
the fr<ieral offices, producing as it does jealousies
tnd strifes and disappointments, paralyzes united
effort to mr.ke the party strong at the polls and
worth" Of Miecess. As long as the Republican
part r in Ox Southern states shall represent little
save' a factional chase for fede-r.il offices In which
t;.i-:iiess men ar.-i men of substance in the com-
Ba&tty have no d*?ire to enter, we may expect the
present politieai conditions of the South to con
tin ae.
Of William Barnes, jr.. the Albany County lead
er, the report says:
In Albany the Surveyor of the Port is William
Barnes, jr.. tin. recognized Republicaji boss of Al
ia. ' '■'■'■ and a member of the Republican
Erate Oominlttce. He is prvprietor of "The Albany
Journal," anci Uie position of surveyor is admitted
by his friends to be a sinecure. During the last
year he has notoriously active in opposing
Governor Hushes, especially in the matter of race
track legislation, arid in the last state convention
he led the opposition to the renomination of the
Governor. The North is full of similar examples of
a large degree r.f absorption in politics, and wljen
ever the inT€rests of the patron of any officehold
er require it, his work at once becomes open and
aggressive.
la regard tn the charges of coercion of office
holders to obtain the nomination of a particular
candidate, it was said that evidence w«« wholly
iaciir.?. The list of appointments made by
Hr. Roosevelt was examined for a considerable
period, with his permission. From these, the com
sattse says, it was found that Presidential ap
pointments wen made prior to the convention In
the usual manner on the recommendation of Sen
ators or Congressmen who claimed the patronage
of tije asset - Of the Republican National Con
vention delegates the report says:
The official roll of delegates to the Republican
National Convention at Chicago was compared
with ti)« latest government Blue Book. It was
jBOBd that of the delegates to the Chicago con
vention federal officeholders constituted one in
tea and of the delegations from the Southern
etates nearly one in three, and of some Southern
Kates Bare than half. These officeholders were
political that is. outside of the jurisdiction of the
Civil Service act. and In most cases their appoint
ment was subject to confirmation by the I nited
States Senate,
Th<» committee says that Mr. Roosevelt took a
Sedded step in advance toward checking the con
sequences of activity by officeholders in politic?
when he issued his order of June 3. l'»T. forbidding
employes in the competitive service to take part
in political management or in political campaigns.
This order was enforced in the last campaign.
The lan administration comes In for commenda
tion, the report saying:

NOTICE.
As some of the members receive begging letters
from unworthy people who are strangers to them
and to the T. S. S-, it becomes necessary again
to request that all such tetters be forwarded to the
general office.

EASTER GREETINGS.
There are many invalids, very destitute, who
have always received substantial Easter gifts
through the T. S. S., but !t seems that many will
be disappointed this yeiir unless Immediate re
sponses are made to the plea for an Easter fund.
There are many to whom an Easter card or some
small gift is sufficient, but it is the ' ■'■■ sick that
should enlist the sympathy of those who have
much to spare, and so the president urges the
members to make their own Easter day doubly
blessed by sharing a little with those who are slcß
and despondent It Is not desired that money
should be sent to those Invalids as emergency gifts,
but rather as something significant of a hopeful
and happy Easter day, made brighter by a sun
shine thought.
SUNSHINE PARTY,
The T. 8. S. members and friends in and near
Manhattan are cordially Invited to attend a Sun
shine party at «he "Little Missionary" branch. No.
93 St. Mark's Place <Sih streiTt, near First avenue),
on April 14. from 2 until sp. m. Miss Sara Curry
is the president, ami as she has many pool women
who would like to attend the part she sug
jrests that it be called a "pound party." Those
who do not care to take a pound of food may
make their gifts more substantial in character.
This branch is in great ... .-,! of a helping hand, as
the winter has been on« of the hardest experienced
in years by Mist Curry in her irkable work
for the poor in that section of the city. The large
sum of money bequeathed to her has never been
received, owing to a contest of the will of th>
donor. To carry on her work for humanity she
depends upon voluntary contributions. More than
125 children are cared for daily in the nurs. and
the industrial elates, cooking. sewing, etc., can
only be helped if materials are provided. The offi
cers of the T. S. P. and many branch presidents
will attend the party and assist in receiving the
guests. Tea will be served. It Is hoped that many
will arranse to attend and learn something of
what one person, animated by a real desire to help
others has been able to accomplish In cne of the
most congested districts of ihe Knst Side.
YOUNG LADIES' CLUB.
Mrs Willam F. Bailey, state president of New
Jersey is justly proud of the branch she organized
in Summit, and in speaking of the goo-i che*r do<1 *
ehe Bay*: "I know there are some wonderful T. S.
s branches that are doing Sunshine work all the
time but I question if there nre any more sealoua
workers than the g'.rl.s who constitute "■- member
ship of this club, thirty-eight in number. They dis
play the wisdom and thoushtfulnesa of older
women in the work they are -dolnß among the poor
and needy in this c immunity, l believe . Shall
have to rename them The «d Samaritan Sun-
Rhine Club.' Not a single case of sickness or desti
tution has been missed by them: rents have been
paid, and are being paid now; coal furnished, nick
ness tended, expectant mothers provided not only
with outfits and clothing, but cared for at the hos
pital at the club's expense. A brave widow with
five children, all sick with the measles, is h " in *
helped over her hard places by these girls, who
pay her rent and otherwise aid l.er."
BOOKS RECEIVED.
Mrs Clarence Bun president of the T. S. S.,
who is deeply Interested in the Working Girls-
Hotel, at No. 462 West 3d street, desires to thank
all who have sent books for its library.
President of the T. S. sV: In the name of. the
board of directors I want to ihar.k T >"',
York Tribune for the item in the Sunshine depart
ment which has brought many contributions or
books to the library of the City Federal ionotel
for Working Girls. We have many very attractive
books and gratefully acknowledge how much we
owe to your kindly mtere^ de RIVERA .
Another member of the board makes a request for
two more wardrobes and a bureau for tho hotel. If
Borne of the members find they have such superflu
ous articles during the spring leaning days, will
they please remember this want und pass on what
they no longer need?
HOW A BRANCH GREW.
Mrs. a. O. Guilford, president of the Lifter
branch, at North Cuba. N. I*.. has written a l.rief
account of the origin and purpose of her branch for
the Sunshine corner In -The Cuba Free Press," a
reprint of which is -is follows:
Six years ago a little club was organised, con
sisting of the ladies residing between the Oil Creek
and North Cuba bridges It was to be a mutual
help club, and was named the "Lifters." Gossip
was prohibited, select reading and other literary
pubjects were admitted It was carried on suc
cessfully in that way until about three years ngi,
when it wa--- thought thai somewhat wirier fields of
action might be attained, and it was proposed that
we Join the Tribune Sunshine Society, which is do
ing such "- great work brightening the lives of
poor and sad humanity. All were heartily In favor
of the proposition, and now we are known a? the

name of IJfters. as every one is ready to d" her
