 LoolEimg to New Dsaf.
 The report which has been agitat- ing the bosoms of Federal oriceholders for some days to the effect that Pres- ident Roosevelt will not reappotnt those whom he reappointed during the present administration appears to ba confirmed upon. all aides by those who have recently been to the White House. It is anthoritatively stated that 1t is not the intention of the Pres ident to supersede an oficeholder sin- ply because he has served two terr,n The President has reappoInted many who were given oalce by Mir. Mckinley for the reason that tt was tho under standing that he held himself bound to execute the wishes and policy of the dead President as far as it was possi- ble to do so without positive detrimens to the public service.
 Now there is 10 come a decfsiva change of policy. After the fourth oe March next. it will be strictly Roose- velt administration.
 lIay Make Chnngen
 Every officer of the government who is not up to the Roosevelt standard oe efficiency will have to make place for somebody whom Mir. Roosevelt deems worth trying. The President is said even now to be engaged studying the records of every presidential appointea as fast as he can conveniently get aA them.
 It is believed that this determination of Mfr. Roosevelt wiif result in mora changes in Southern Federal oaicea than elsewhere in the country. Mir. Roosevelt has made 1t plain every time he has touched the subject that he will insist upon the utmost obtainahie efgi- ciency and respectability in ofice. It is worth noting that early in his pres ent administration President Roosevelb was heard many times to express his disgust with that class of Southern Re- publicans who showed themselves Re- publicans only for official revenues.
