CIVIL SERVICE.
President Roosevelt is Firm
Believer In it's Efficacy.


In viewing the more spectacular
OF President Roosevelt's achieve.
ments and endeavors for the improve
ment Of the laws and a better admin
istration thereof, great many per
sons have lost sight of the steady
work he has done in the extension
of the civil service rules. Yet, recog-
nizing this extension as fundamental
to the success of any lasting reform
in governmental affairs, he has
quietly brought group after groupof
the offices under its rules; until, in
the three and a half years, and a lit
tie over, since he succeeded Presi-
dent Mckinley, he has not only
made a larger addition than any pre-
ceding executive to the number of
classified positions but has nearly
doubled the aggregate of such posi-
tons. The number when he "came
in was $4,000 1t is now 155, 900,
as the result of seventeen different
orders issued by him. He now plans
the placing of $4,000 fourth class
postm asters, also, under the rules.
But few further additions will then
be needed to place practically the
whole federal service on the basis OF
competitive appointments and pro
motion by merit. The most import
ant branch yet remaining unclassi-
fed is the consular service, the plac-
ing of which under the rules has
hitherto been defeated by congress.
Nevertheless important improve
ments have been made even there;
and the presidents persistency will
doubtless be rewarded ere long by
the rescue of the consular appoint
ments from the system which makes
them tine reward OF partisan services
merely
That President Roosevelt has been
able to handle the unprecedented
amount of new business" which his
statesmanlike activities have created
is in no small degree attributable to
the gain OF time for important affairs,
which, under the old system, must
have been dissipated in adjusting
rival claims to the $4,000 offices the
filling Of which he has remanded to
the civil scrvice commission. Had
he undertaken to carry, as did his
predecessors, the burden involved in
the distribution of those offices, in
addition to all the legislative and
administrative matters which have
invited his zeal, he would inevitably
have broken down. The people who
are cheering him on in his more
important work may well congratu-
late themselves that on his return
from his vacation he will not be
obliged to spend the major portion
Of his renewed energies in settling
the claims Of rival politicians in the
distribution Of minor appointments.

dent Roosevelt sent Identical messages
st. Petersburg, and Minister Griscom. at
Toxic, practically rendering the good
offices Of the United States to bring about
peace between Russia and Japan. The
messages were sent after n long confer
ence with Secretary Taft.
Two dispatches were received at the
White House two days ago. one from
Ambassador MeyerEa and one from Minister
Griscom, advising the President that the
tender Of his good offices to induce peace
between the two countries would be re-
ceived at the respective courts But 1t
is said that the President was induced
to take action largely because Of cable
grams from Secretary Hay, who is rest
ing in italy. Mr.. Hay Is IN closest touch
with the situation In the Orient, and
at st. Petersburg, and two or three
days ago he had several lengthy confer
ences with Spencer Eddy, who is the
secretary of the American legation at
st. Petersburg. Mr.. Eddy journeyed!
from Russia to Italy for the purpose OF
discussing the question of having the
President offer to use his efforts to bring
about peace. The Secretary Of State
cabled the President at length regarding
the situation, and It Is said that the dis
patches of this afternoon to the Ameri-
can Representatives 81 at Toxic and st.
Petersburg are thegdirect results of Mr..
Hays messages to Mr.. Roosevelt.
During the past year there have been
repeated rumors to the effect that the
President had offered or contemplated
offering his services in the interest Of
peace. These have always, been cons
tradicted. z4is known. however that

to make advances of the character made
to-day. 1t was fatty stated at St. Peters

der OF good offices would not at that time
be considered. Il It was not made. and It
is made now after the positive assurances
OF the American representatives at the
capital of each belligerent that 1t will
be considered.
It is confidently believed that this offer
OF the President will result in a declara-
tion of peace. 1t will almost certainly
cause an early suspension Of hostilities.
