THE Postmaster-General says 1t
is the settled policy of the Presl-
dent not to make changes in presi-
Dental offices until the expiration
of four years from the date of COM
mission unless charges are made
and sustained. He considers that
the commission is for full four
years term from its date, and not
from the entry into the perform
ance of the duties of the office.
The time prior to date of commits
sion he regards as an interim ser
vice. Gen. annamaker said to
some other gentlemen who were
talking of preferring charges in
some case that the President re-
garded it as proper to inform in
cumbents of charges and give them
a chance to refute them. This is

nation regarding the tenure of
postmasters that has been made
