The President appears to have rel'L.
ouished none Of his admiration for Civil
Service Reform. He asked for resign"
tions from two prominent Office holders
because Of their violation of Civil Serv'
ice rules. He has stated positively and
freq uently that he will appoint 20 men
to office whom he does not consider in
every way fitted for the position. lie
has appointed we'll known and earnest
reform advocate to the Civil Service
Commission, and during the past week
has announced that in the Army and
Navy and in "our dependencies" merit
alone will secure promotion. Apropos
of Army promotions. he has caused to
be given out at the War department an
official declaration which states that Of
ficers who send their friends to the Pres.
ident to present their claims for promo
ton will not improve their chances, bat
that ION the contrary, the effect will be
probably directly opposite to that which
the candidate hopes for,' and that "it
is only fair to the administration that
not only army officers; hut all other
classes of public office holders should
rely upon their own merits and not up
on the further use Of political iaflu-
ence." 1t is even r,,mored that it is the
intention of the President to apply the
requirements of the Civil Service Com
mission to all that class of employees in
Washington known as "laborers' OF
whom there probably at least one thous-
and, drawing aggregate salaries of $780,
900 per year, most of whom are doing
clerical work and are laborers in name
only, having used this ruse to get into
the service through other than Civil
Service doors.

No broader distinction can be made
between men than that which divides
them into two classes. To the fret class
belong those who always have q good

of those who manage to DO. Foremost
in this latter class stands out the figure
