The Lucy has
done
t
again
(By George G. Hill.—Written for the
Republican National Committee.)
Is it not small of Governor Hughes
to devote so much time to attacking
, the Wilson administration because of
its betrayal of civil service reform?
Of what general interest is it.that
the democrats have created a few
more offices and appointed “deserv
ing democrats” to places formerly
filled by republicans.
Betrayal of civil service reform
means waste o- the people’s money.
Is that a small matter? Civil service
reform means appointing and keeping
employed competent men. The ap
pointment of men merely because
they are “deserving democrats”
means, in practice, the appointment
of incompetent men, just as does the
replacing of competent democrats
with inexperienced republicans chos
en simply because of their service to
the party. The Wilson administra
tion has created not "a few," but
thousands of useless offices, and has
filled these places and those of thous
ands of experienced men with, incom
petents. Of course, it generally takes
three incompetents, or more, to do
the same work that was performed by
two trained and experienced men.
When it becomes necessary to tax
every man who runs a little theatre,
according to its seating capacity, to
impose taxes on every billiard and
pool table, to add taxes to the ex
penses of every farmer and business
man who has to borrow money to con
duct his business, is it not of import
ance whether the expenses of the gov
ernment are unnecessarily increased
by using its funds to reward fellow
politica Iworkers, instead of conduct
ing the government’s business econ
omically with men who can and will
give value received for the wages
they draw?
What would you think of the man
ager of a creamery who, immediately
he was appointed, let out half the
competent, experienced men and put
in their places his sons and nephews
and friends, putting two of them on
the payroll for every one let out?
That is what the Wilson administra
tion has been doing and that is what
Governor Hughes promises he will
not do. That is what has, in large
part, made it necessary for the demo
crats to impose various and onerous
special taxes. No one objects to a
man taking care of his friends, but
he should not do it at the expense of
other people. The democratic admin
istration has taken excellent care of
itis friends, but it has done it at the
expense of all the people.
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 1.—A tele
gram received here from Bremen
states that the Ocean Trading compa
ny of that city, owners of the super
submersibles Deutschland and Brem
en, have announced that the big
freighter submarine is undoubtedly
lost and have given up all hope of her
reaching her destination.
The Bremen left the port of that
name several weeks ago, since which
time nothing has been heard of her.
It is believed that the vessel met ,.-ith
some accident, as her capture by the
enemy is scduted.
SEATTLE, Nov. 1—Tom Kehoe, the
popular purser for a pumber of years
on the Admiral line, who for the past
four months has remained ashore here,
where he and a partner have been in
the mineral water business, has re
turned to the steamship business again
Kehoe has been doing an excellent
business here, but the call of the sea
was too strong, and he is leaving the
management of the business in the
hands of his partner.
