CALLS IT ‘SPOILS SYSTEW Says Both the Eleventh and Twelfth Were Taken Under a Provision of Law Excluding Competition and ‘That Every Man Who Speaks With Authority Has Stated That the Re- sult Was to Produce Extravagance and Demoralization. ‘Washington, Feb. 5.—In vetoing the house resolution providing for the tak- ing of the thirteenth census, President Roosevelt sent the following special wessage to the house: % “I return without approval the reso- Iution entitled, ‘An Act to Provide for the Thirteenth and Subsequent Decen: nial Censuses.” I do this with ex- treme reluctance, because I fully real- ize the importance of supplying the director of the census, at as early a date as possible, with the ‘force neces- sary to the carrying on of his work. But it is of high consequence that the statistical work of the census shall be conducted with entire accuracy. This is as important from the standpoint of business and industry as from the scientific standpoint. - Calls It a “Spolls System.” “It is, therefore, in my judgment, es- sential that the result should not be open to the suspicion-of bias on politi- cal and personal grounds; that it should not be open to the reasenable .suspicion of being a waste of the peo- ple’s money and a fraud. “Section 7 of the act provides in ef- fect that appointmients to the census shall be under the spoils system, for this is the real meaning of the provi- sion that they shall be subject only to non-competitive examination. The proviso is added that they shall be selected without regard to political party affiliations. But there is only one way to guarantee that they shall be selected without regard to politics and on merit, and that is by choosing them after competitive examination -from the lists of eligibles provided by the civil service commission. “To provide that the clerks and other employes shall be appolnted after non-competitive examination, and yet to provide that they shall be select- ed without regard to political party af- filiations, means merely that the ap- pointments shall be treated as the per- quisites of the politicians of both par- ties, nstead of as the perquisites of the politicians of one party. Refers to Last Censuses. “I do not believe in the doctrine that to the victor belongs the spoils; but I think even less of thedoctrine that the spoils shall be divided without a fight by the professional politicians on both sides; and this would be the re- sult of permitting the bill in its pres- ent shape to become a law. Both of the last censuses, the eleventh and the twelfth, were taken under a provision of law excluding competition; that is, necessitating the appointments being made under the spoils system. Every man competent to speak with authori- ty because of his knmowledge of and familiarity with the work of those cen- suses has stated that the result was to produce extravagance and demoraliza: tion. “Mr. Carroll D. Wright, who had charge of the census bureau, after the census of 1890, estimates that $2,000, 000, and more than a year’s time, would have been saved if the census force had been brought into the classi- fied service, and adds: Wright Admits Waste. “T do not hesitate to say one-third of the amount expended under my own administration was absolutely wasted, and wasted principally on account of the fact that the office was not under <ivil service rules. “‘In October, 1893, when I took charge of the census office, there was an office force of 1,092. There had ‘been a constant reduction for many months and this was kept up without cessation till the close of the census. ‘While these general reductions were being made, and in the absence of any mecessity for the increase of the force, 389 new appointments were made.’” “This, of course, meant the destruc- tion of economy and efficiency for purely political considerations. “Fraud Upon the Public.” “The non-competitive examination in: a case like this is not only vicious, but || is in effect a fraud upon the public. No essential change is effected by pro- ‘viding that it be conducted by the civil service commission; and to provide that the employees shall be selected ‘without regard to political party affilia- ®lons is empty and misleading, unless, || at the same time, it is made effective in the only way in which it is possi- ble to make it effective, that is by pro- viding that the examination shall be made competitive., ‘I also recommend that if proyision 18 made that the census printing work would be done. outside the govern- ment printing office, it shall be expiic- itly provided that the government au- {horities shall see that the eight-hour law 1s applied in effective fashion. “Outside of these matters, I belleve that the bill 1s, on the whole, satisfact- ory and represents an improvement upon previous legislation on the sub- fect.” NEGROES OPENLY DEFIANT Resent Methods Resorted to by Pitts- burg Police. Pittsburg, Feb. 5.—The six negroes arrested here, in addition to the 126 arrested before as a result of the many assaults directed against white @irlg In the Herron Hill district, were dtscharged following a hearing befors g Dpolice magistrate. The negroes roved that they were regularly em- loyed and had good reputations. One the negroes taken into custody Tuesday night, who had in his posses- slon obscene literature and wore wo- men’s undergarments, was fined $25 or thirty days in the workhouse. The qases of a dozen others are being in- vestigated and they will be disposed of later, Racial animosity is in evidence throughout the whole city. Many ne- 8roes are inclined to resent what they term high handed police methods and are openly defiant. On the other hand the authorities reiterate - their inten- tion of cleaning the negro section of the city and large forces of uniformed officers and a great number of plain clothes men are constantly on the alert for negroes addicted to the drug and no work habits. Husky young men arrayed in fem- inine apparel have been stationed in the trouble zone in an effort to cap ture negroes who molest women. It is estimated that 35,000 negroes re- side in -this city, the greater majority living in the Herron Hill district. Of these the police estimate fully 20 per cent are listed as criminals. TWIN CITY STREET CAR MAGNATE DEAD Thomas Lowry Expires Affes Lingering Minass. Minneapolis, Feb. 5. —Thomas Low- ry, president of the Twin City Rapid Transit company and the Mi St. Paul and Sault Ste. ) company, is dead, aged sixty-five. Denth came as the result of a Iinger- ing illness. Years ago his liver began to bother him. Complications set in and for the last five or six months his condition became gradually worse. | Two weeks ago he rallied .and at the time it was hoped that he would eventually recover. £ No man in the Twin Cities is more generally known than Thomas Lowry. He was born in Logan county, Iil, Feb. 22, 1843. He was admitted to the bar at Rushville, 111, in 1867, coming to Minneapolis the same year. That marked the beginning of a career wifich meant much to the Twin Cities, as well as to the state and the entire Northwest. He was the “father,” as it were, and present head of the Twin City Rapid Transit sys- tem. He was president of the Minne- apolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie rajlway and was financially interested in many of the large corporate enter- prises of the Northwest. He was a member of many of the leading clubs here and in the East. In politics Mr. Lowry was a Repub- lcan, although he never held office. In 1901, following the death of Sen- ator Cushman K. Davis, his friends persuaded him to seek the place, but Moses E. Clapp was selected by the legislature after a short, strenuous campaign. How’s This? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J.
