quent classification of his supporters. The
rural free delivery service, for example,
was classified before Its great expansion
Under his administration somewhat more
than 10000 places have been added TO the
classified service The extension of the
service and the enforcement of the law
and rules are the aspects OF the commas
sions work which appeal most strongly to
the public. But to provide proper machinery
for carrying on the work; and to adopt suit
able rules, are quite as important. When
President Roosevelt assumed office the
work of the commission was performed In
large part by clerks borrowed from the
departments.
Largely through the efforts of Commits
sioner Garfield an increased appropriation
was secured by which the commission was
enabled to drop seventy-seven of, these de-
tailed clerks, replacing them by sixty-tWo
employees selected as a result of an open
competitive examination. In consequence
the work of handling applications, rating
papers and issuing certificates was never in
the history of the commission done so eX-
peditiously as now. We are just completing
a reorganization Of the field service, which
will still further expedite the business of
the commission, giving us an intelligent su-
pervision of our own work of which we had
heretofore lacked, besides freeing us from
the necessity of begging assistance from the
departments for the conduct of examina-
tons and issuing Of certificates for the
post office, customs and custodian services.
This is the work done by the commission
during the last three years. Every right
minded citizen is interested in seeing 1t
properly done. We are quite Indifferent to
the opinion of some critics who represent
all that is basest and most sordid in Amer
lean politics. To have gained the approval
of such men would be a badge Of dishonor.
We do, however. covet the good opinion of
those who, like yourself, no matter to what
party they belong, see the iniquity and deg
radiation Of a system which would fill the
government service with incompetent hang
ers-on, rather than with body of self-re-
specting men and women who feel that they
have obtained their places by their own
merits, and who are under obligations to no
one except to the government they have
sworn to serve. / trust that we have gained
not only that approval, but that we may
also have your hearty cooperation in the
work we are trying to do for the cause of
public decency and civic betterment. Faith
fully yours,
AFFORD COOLEY, Commissioner"

JOHN T. SMITHS CASE
HOSPITAL CORPS MAN MARRIED
A CoLoRED WOMAN.
Gen. Grant Recommends His Dismissal
From the Army-Surgeon Gen.
eral O'Reilly Concurs.

A question involving an interesting phase
OF the so-called race issue has been pre-
sented to the War Department for determi.
nation. 1t is that of John T. Smith. a
member Of the Hopsital Corps, stationed at
Fort Mott, N. j., who was recently mar
ried to a colored woman named Sarah Vol.
fert, former resident Of Maryland. Smith
is a native Of Nebraska and has been In
the army since he attained his majority.
His marriage caused something Of sensa-
ton at the army post. and an effort was
made by some of his associates to procure
his discharge. Contract Surgeon Sparren-
berger. post medical officer at Fort Mott. in
dorsed the movement and recommended
Smiths discharge.
The commanding officer at the post de-
clined, however to interfere in the matter.
on the ground that there was nothing in
the laws of New Jersey to prohibit the mar.
riage Of a white man and a colored woman.
He therefore, forwarded the recommen-
dalton of the post medical officer with
out comment to General Grant, command
ing Department of the East. 1t Is under
stood that the post surgeon charged Smith
with various misdemeanors and expressed
objection to having attached to his corps
a man with colored wife, saying that
there much indignation among the
artillery men at the post over the situa-
ton.
Gen. Grant Favors Dismissal.
General Grant forwarded the papers in
the case to the War Department with O
recommendation that Smith be discharged
from the army "for the good of the serv-
ice," and that recommendation has been
concurred in by Surgeon General O'Reilly.
who has supervision of the hospital corps.
1t seems that in the meantime Smith
wrote to the Secretary of War in defense
Of his conduct. In his letter he inquired
If there was any reason why he should
be punished for marrying a colored wo-
man, setting forth that her character was
good and that he could establish good
character for himself by his record.
Back of the wedding is a story dating to
the Spanish-American war. Smith then
was a member of the 10Th Infantry, sta
toned in Cuba, and was stricken with yell
low fever. He was ordered to Camp Wyck-
off, N. Y. For two months he lowered be-
tween life and death and the colored wo-
man, a member of the Volunteer Red Cross
Society," nursed him faithfully. A short
courtship followed, and Smith was ordered
N. J.
Letters followed and Smiths former
nurse went to Salem September 30 where
they were married. Only few of Smiths
soldier friends attended the wedding and
the matter was kept very quiet.
Not Presented to the Secretary
Secretary Taft said today that the case
had not been presented to him. and that he
knew nothing about 1t. When 1t is present.
ed in the regular course of business he will
consider II and dispose of it on its merits.
The Secretary is going away in a few days
to meet engagements made some time ago,
and may not be able to act on this case
until his return.

PARIS, October 1S.-The international
