Description |
English: U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant serves a childish-looking and truculently reluctant U.S. Senator Carl Schurz a spoon of gruel out of a bowl labelled "Civil Service Reform." Nauseous-looking Senator Lyman Trumbull has already been served, and a host of others, including Charles Sumner, wait anxiously in line. Grant is the parent, and the senators are all children. Horace Greeley and another man look with puzzlement into the bowl of gruel. |

“CHILDREN CRY FOR IT.”
U. S. G. “IF YOU CAN STAND IT I CAN.”
“If bad men have secured places, it has been the fault of the system established by law and custom for making appointments, or the fault of those who recommend for government positions persons not sufficiently well known to them personally, or who give letters indorsing the character of office-seekers without a proper sense of the grave responsibility which such a course devolves upon them. A civil service reform which can correct this abuse is much desired.” — Grant's Message.
