It is the aim of the management to make Good Government not
only an aggressive and fearless advocate of the principles of Civil-
Service Reform in the broadest sense, but a perfectly trustworthy
record of the current history of the reform movement in political
affairs generally. It numbers among its staff of editorial contributors
many of the conspicuous authors and orators engaged in the move-
ment, and some of their most important papers and addresses appear
first in complete form in its columns. As GOOD GOVERNMENT pub-
lishes yearly an exhaustive table of titles and topics of its own, and as
it is one of the group of periodicals to which reference is made in the
annual supplement to Poole's Index, it is a necessity to every well-
stocked reference library.
