A BLOW TO sPoILsMEN.

The interesting news comes from
Washington that President Roosevelt
has rendered the next vacancy on the
civil service commission to William
Dudley Foulke, of Indiana. When
the appointment is to be made is not
announced, although it is claimed
probable that Commissioner Roden-
berg, of Illinois, will soon resign.
The naming of Mr.. Foulke is calcu-
lated to make the spoilsmen rage and
imagine a vain thing, saws the Des
Moines Leader 1t is further empha-
sized that President Roosevelt is
quite as much a civil service reformer
as ever-wa Commissioner Roosevelt.
William Dudley Foulke is a man of
wealth and high principles, who for
msny years has been one of the most
active and persistent members of the
National Civil Service Reform league
He was the friend and associate of
Dorman B Eaton and George william
Curtis in the early and struggling
days of the reform, and he has always
sustained it with voice, pen and
purse. 1t is said of him that so ex-
cellent are his abilities and so high
his standing that long ago he would

he had been willing to be little less
independent. But he fought Dudley

diana and many times has been de-
nounced by the politicians of Indiao a

The presence of Mr.. Foulke on the

in view of the fact that he will be
understood to represent the presi-
dents views, ought to do much to-
ward lifting the commission out of
| the narcotIzed innocuousness of it's
recent slumber. 1t is not known that
the commission has done anything
bad. but it has been as quiet as a
mouse after slipper has been

was ex-Congressman Rodenberg. and
he is said to have frankly told Presi-
dent Mckinley. before he was nomi-
mated, that he had no sympathy with

LODGE AND NEW PRESIDENT.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. of
Massachusetts, was, in 1895 associ-
ated with President Roosevelt in lit
ersry labors. In that year they pub
lished a volume entitled Hero Tales
from American History" This asso-
citation of work and interests brought
the two men rather closely together,
and on this intimacy is based much
speculation as to the position which
Lodge is to occupy in this admins
tration.
Many expect Lodge will voice the
presidents desires AMI opinions in
the senate. 1t has also been predicted
that he will eventually be invited to q
cabinet position; possibly to succeed
Secretary of State John Hay. Senator
Lodge is 81 years of age. His life has
been devoted to literature and poll
tics. After graduating from Harvard
he wrote the Life and Letters Of
George Cabot" This was followed
by Short History of the Euglish
Colonies in America, Life of Alex
ander Hamilton" Life of Daniel
Webster" STU dies in History, -
Life of Washington" (two volumes)
and half a dozen other works, ending
with history of the Spanish war.
In 1888 Lodge was e'ected to the
house of representatives and served
four terms. He was then elected 10
the senate. where he is serving his
second term. He is the political boss
OF Massachusetts,. Senator Lodge is
q man OF wealth. He lives in quiet
luxury in Washington and entertaius
q small but select circle of friends.
He is the man who finally persuaded
Roosevelt to accept the vice presi-
Dental nomination, and he is thor
oughly in sympathy with the young
presidents political theories and prac-
tices.
