Why Not Pass This Rit That the Serate Committee on the Dis- trict: of Columbia is sincerely opposed: to the Lodge bil! which proposes to regulate appointments’ and promotions: im our: mu- nicipal service and in the offices of the re- corder of deeds and. the register of wills is hardly to be believed. Adverse action upom such a meritorious. measure: would have been expected ten years or more ago because the business advantages resulting from civil-service methods had not then been made clearly apparent but in this com- parattvely enlightened era opposition” to extensiers, of civil-service principles and practice 1s surprising; most surprising when it emanates from those who: have had op- portunities for seeing the unquestioned su- periority of the nonpartisan method over the spotis) hurly-burly; It is’ freely ad- mitted: by public men whose experience in- clades acquaintance with both varieties of attending to the public business that civil service reform. has resulted in: better administration than was possible under the ‘spcils regime. It is, therefore, difficult to understand why the extension of the civil service law so that it shall {nelude neunici+ pal offlees at the national capital could possibly be regarded as improper or un- desizabie legislation. By independent and commendable acticn the District Commis- sioners have taken a long: stride: toward the doing of that. witich would be com pletely and permanently accomplished by the Lodge bill, and it may be that the Com- missioners and their successors will con- tinue to walk in the path of administrative righteousness but there will always be op- pertunities for backsliding; opportunities that will-be made the most of by importu- nate members of Congress. whe seem to see nothing: of impropriety in the payment of personal and political. indebtedness. by the appoiutment of. gererally unfit persons to positions m the public: service: If-is: to We hoped that the Senate will: act <avor- ably as to the Lodge bill. There is uo ap- Propriation needed or involved nor fs. any startling: experiment proposed: Condensed avgument in behalf-of the meesure is to the effect that civfl service reform has-been am excellent thing for the departmental service and it. musi -therefove :be- a. benefit to our municipal. government. —+--__ What Expert Atkinson, Says. In conne=tion with. the jug-¢handled con- troversy over the fire-temptimg roof whieh is: beimg put om the new city post-office building reference has been made by the Gefense to the:opinion of Mr. Edward: Ai- Kinsen, the: building and insurance: expert. Of cours*: Mr. Atkinson was: rot filly or fatrty quoted. The post-office roof has been spoken of as slowly-combustible, according to Mr. Atkinson. ‘The regulations formuiat- ed and publisked by that: autherhy con- cemn without reservation such construe- Yon as the Supervismg: Architect of the ‘Treasury declares to be best. ‘The Atkinson regulation for the construc- tion of the roof of a slow-burning building Is as follows: : Rvof—To be fist and of. ‘mill construe- tion’ (Le. made of heavy timbers and plank- ing, without plastering. or sheathing), and covered with gravel or metal. (No wooden mansard or French roofs allowed, as they are regardé¢d as ‘Limber yards up out of reach of water,’ furnishing so much, addt- toma! material for the fire to féed.on, as well'as greatly increasing the risk of fire from adjoi:.ing property)” Wita dune. ceference to: the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Thé Star sug- gests that the opinion of Mr. Atkinson and the action of the Senate should’ suffice to bring about instant stoppage of work on the post-office roof. ——_<~+ +o ___ Labor Denounces Mr. Powers. When Representative Powers: of Vermont deneunced the local free library Dill’ as a “job.” backed bya tremendous lobby in- terest,” The Star. expressed an apprehen~ sion that the local. workingmen, whe: have been. vigoroushy. supporting the library pro- ject. would resent this insatt: Last night the. locat Federatton of Labor took its turn at. denpuncing; am@ dénownced Mr. Powers’ insulting denimeiation! aw “tidien- * and! Mr. Powets hiresclf “as f public education andi of the ” and transmitted: the-express ston of its:sentimems concerning: Mr: Powe ers to the labor organizations of the state of’ Vermont: No rational being will deny the constitu- tlonal right of petition: which: was exercised as to the library bill by representatives: of loeal aber orgentzations and by cttixens generally, and no senstble person would have made the accusation which has called. forth expressions of sincere and righteous indig- nation from the Feder-tion: of Labor: To the-end of his days Mr: Powers is likely to realize how stupid and’ how colossal was his blunder when: he called honest workingmen lobbytsts and jobbers. —_~+2___ In the Interest of School Children. ‘The District Commissioners. have prob- ably received, by this time, information as{ to the dangerous conditions which exist in the Authony Bewen schol butiding, fo the Board of Sehoot ‘Trestees discussed ‘th: matter earnesily at its: meeting yesterday and took such’ aetion aw it could to: bring about the appropriation of a sum of money sufficient. to- provide: the four hundred threatened chtidren with a.modern and safe structure in. witich’ to acquire the. elements of seholastic educatiom: The condition of the: building: is- every: bit aw: bad as the trustees'dealare it to Lee A’ Star ‘reporter visited tho rickety amd) whoNy undesirable structure th:s morring and! found ampley: testimiony in corrcboration of ‘the official statements. That the building should have been used for so long @ period: is surprising. What will Congress:dé in this matter? —————_~++-.-——__.. People who have declared themselves as to the inflammable roof on the city post- office building are awaiting with consider- able interest the action’ of the- Howse of | Representatives om the Senate Joint resolu-; tion which providea for a firepsoof roof. Which has the greater influence with. the House, the Senate und the public interest or the Sapervising Architect of the- Treasury? — 2 Senator Morrill is a pleasing reminder of | the faet that despite the proverbial. “in- sratitude of republies’” an American’ may | grow oid in the service of his country pro- vided that he discharge his duties con- sctentiovaly aad-capably, ee A’ Volenbte Institution: ‘The Associated Charities is a helpful and |, onest’ itstitution: Proceeding |. thoroughiy recently upoh’a theory whieh has it that successful relief: is: possible oly. when the |’ selfreapeet ofthe benefictary is. the Associated Chariti¢s has ceased to be a general and generous dtsiributor, it being |! the fifmly-foundéd belief of the manage- ment“that a large: proportion of the funds etattered abroad under its previous ‘method | Were worse than wasted; etther because the applicants were unworthy or in’ receipt of rellef ‘from other sources.or: because they | Fauperism.

At a recent meeting of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ As- ‘seciation: stress.wes ‘laid ‘upon the amount ‘of money expended by the Associated Charities: for administration: The: sum stated was greatly in -excess-of: the fact, but everr had it been twice as: large it could not fairly be regardéd'as+sebject to pubtic critktism: All the money: used for adminis+ tration is contributed'by prtvate individuals ‘who: are in: sympathy with the new. plans ‘and who give ‘it: with folt knowledge as te ‘the: uses to which it will be'pat: - Not a vent-of ‘the contributions of those who wish ‘what they give: to-be expemied exelasively ‘Ur direct: relief is dtverted*for investigating ‘or-administration purposes.

If the State Department is not ‘over busy just now in looking. up alleged: Cuban fili- bustering expeditions it.might investigate the case of the American schooner George Whitford. The captain of the schooner al- leges the capture of his vessel at sea, far beyond the Colombian jurisdiction, by the Colombian gunboat Gen. Cordova, followed by detention at Colon. The ship's papers and cargo are alleged to be legal and there does not appear to be any good cause for the:seigure or for the aggravatingly-bump- tious: manner: in which: it was: made and maintained until consular interference pre- valled. That lone Colombian gurboat seems to be looking for trouble, anyhow. 0 = Only oze hundred and twenty men were et work today on the city post-office building; seme:of them wasting public money by working on'that roof which has been con- demmed' by everybody but the Supervising “Architect of the Treasury. ——_—____+++—____ Li Hung Chang has again changed his adnd and will visit this country.
