Angling With An Adv. For a Mammoth Fish I1Y X. P.'lIAHCOCK

TCanted A man xvho has "arrived"' ripe in experience but not jrown o.-l (about 23 or 40) cf demonstrated capacity in at least one hiph executive office. A man who. is not earning less thin 10,000 a year at present and vho has an equipment which would justify a starting salary of at least 520.000. The above advertisement is clipped from a daily newspaper. It certainly invites comment. Whether it bore satisfactory fruit, I am unable to say, but to hundreds of thousands of my fellow men it can hardly fail to have the sound of a rather heart

less joke. A "starting salary" of it', least $20,000. when they would, many of them, gladly start at JL'O a week! Uut upon investigation made

solely, I hasten to assure my readers, in the interest of "news," I discover that this advertisement was no joke, but expressed a bona fide "want" of a large and legitimate business corporation. ' To quote the language of the chief official of that corporation, it sprang from a desire to oblaln a man who

would be able "to get things done; and done smoothly, even in a time of pressure and congestion! who would attract the willing respect and hearty cooperation of the many executives under him, and be a sincere and constant antidote to friction; a man of largeness of grasp and of vision, and of tireless energy and unshakable self-control." Time was, and not so very on ago,, when a corporation having a vacant $-0,000 a year position, would fill it with some deserving member of the household of one of its directors, or chief officials. It would never have been allowed to "get out of the family." It wasn't customary .y advertise for anything above the post of janitor or scrub-woman. The Idea of inviting proven-merit to take the place of mere favoritism, would have seemed grotesque. Can It be that the war is responsible for development of the idea that the "right man" for a job is not necessarilly tho one who wants, it most, but the one you must do your utmost to search out and secure?; that the price or cost, is merely an incidental? The employment by the government of such a man as Charles M. Schwab at $1 a year, illustrates although from an angle exactly opposite to the case we have been considering how subordinate a detail is wage, in comparison with the procurement of efficiency. All this leads naturally to the thought; "Why should not the heads of governmental departments, both state and national, be obtained through advertising, rather than

according to the old fashioned notion chosen because of their membership in some political family?" "Want ad columns of the press are as available to a mayor, a governor, or even a president, as to any other employer of labor; it is quite possible that either one of these gentlemen would bable to secure a discount from the regular rates. It is not to be presumed that supposed possession of "influence" would lead any man to answer the above $20,000 male-help wanted ad. lie would have perceived in advance that this would be a mere waste of time and stationary. The worti"demonstrated capacity" won!,-. headed him on. Why then need we suppose if a state advertised for a man competent to conduct all matters relating to waterways, or railways, or gas and electricity, or bridges, or charitable and penal Institutions, or engineering, .or conservation alons any particular line, there would be answers from any persons save thoso competent o fill the jobs? And if there should be, wouldn't it be an easy matter to throw such answers Into the waste basket? "Demonstrated capacity" his but one meaning. If,wlth every new incoming administration there was the guarantee that no department would or could be placed in charge of a man who had not "made good," would it not be a rather confoling thought to taxpayers? And what more efficient way could there be if raking the haystock for the needle, than open, public advertising. If a large business corporation decided that through the advertising columns of a newspaper a man earning "not less than $10,000 a year" could be attracted to its service, why should it be doubted that open advertising would be worth trying in the matter of filling important public offices with competent men? Could there be a finer tribute to the power and efficiency of the "Fourth Estate"? If Instead of being put to the embarrassment of holding innumerable private conferences, a governor might Insert in the "help wanted" columns of a newspaper something like the following: "Wanted A public srvic commissioner of demonstrate1 capacity for pleasing the public; one who has an equipment justifying a starting faith of 99 percent in his ability to satisfy both the people and th corporations." Would not that lift a load from the shoulders of our chief executives and Incidentally be pleasing to the press?
