Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1901-09-20
Roosevelt IS Note,
the Marion Chief

among those who did not regard Mr.
Blaine as the most available candi-
date Of the party, but after the latter's
nomination Mr.. Roosevelt gave him
his hearty support, and in the face
of the remarkable detection in New
York at that time.
In the National Civil Ser Woo.
In May, 1899, President Harrison ap-
pointed him civil service commission
er, and he served as president Of the
board until May, 1896. During his In
cumbency he was untiring in his ef-
forts to apply the civil service prin-

ciples of merit and capacity to all ex-
ecutive departments. AS result OF
this zeal the country was shown the
first practical application of the rules
to civil government.
Civil Service Reformer.
He proved that unflinching civil
service reform was not only consist
ent with party loyalty, but in the
highest degree was necessary to party
service. None doubted the reformer's
Republicanism, but it was not an easy
task. Judgment, tact, honesty, ener-
gy, and certain sturdy pugnacity
were necessary to the accomplishment
of his purpose. Every detail Of the
system was opened to carping criti-
cism and to hostile attack. The adj
ministration itself was only friendly
to the movement. Not only had poll
ticians to be kept out Of places, but
competent servitors had to be pro-
vided.
In the Police Commission.
AS president of the civil-service
commission Mr.. Roosevelt resigned in
May, 1895, to become president of the
New York board of police commission
ers. Legislative investigation had
shown the corruption in that body,
and to this field he turned with a new
zest. An uncompromising enforce
ment of law was his policy. It brought
criticism and vituperation upon him,
but he persisted. Honest methods in
the police department were forced,
and civil-service principles were en-
bodied into the system of appoint
ments and promotions. Sunday clos
ing of saloons became a fact, and a
seemly observance of the day was in
sisted upon.
Navy's Assistant Secretary
In April, 1897 Mr. Roosevelt was
nominated by President Mckinley to
be assistant secretary of the navy He
pushed repairs on the ships and worked
with might and main, forseeing a con-
f1ict with Spain. He left nothing I'M
done to secure the highest efficiency
in the navy.
On May 6, 1898, Mr.. Roosevelt re-
signed this place to muster in a cav
airy regiment for the Spanish war.
Lite in the west had made this a f1t-
ting ambition. AS a hunter Of big
game, used to the saddle and the camp
and an unerring shot with rifle and

There would be no use in Governor
HUM making appointments to hll the

less to convene the Legislature IN eX-
