The President Reformer

Philadelphia Ledger: IT must be APP
parent to the most careless observer
that the president is insisting upon a
very high standard of official fitness
The postmaster at Baltimore was chos-
en- the ether day on the sole ground
of fitness; the same may be said of the
new postmaster of New York, and the
president on Friday selected for consul
to Berlin John l.. Grif1is, of Indiana
without even consulting the Indiana
senator or congressman, because he
thought Mr.. Griftis was best fitted fol-
the post
Even those not skilled in statecraft
may see that if this lofty policy shall
be adhered to with reference to APP
pointments and to the conduct of Of
ficials, the character of the federal SER
vice will be transformed and the whole
tone and spirit of public life raised.

No Hauue Conference.

New York Evening Post: Secretary
Hay washes his hands of The Hague
conference with an excellent good
grace. Recalling without rancor the
unWillingnesS Of Russia to be repre-
scented at The Hague and the qualified
adhesion OF Japan, he congratulates
himself upon the cordial response Pres
ident Roosevelt's invitation met from
all other powers. With these prelim-
naries he regards the incident as
temporarily closed. and is content to
let the future conduct of the affair
follow the normal channels" Such is
the rather disappointing conclusion of
Mr. RooSevelt's gallant appeal for
peace. That ii has been wasted we de-
cline to believe. The subjects of neu-
trality and of contlaband need as much
as ever to be thraShed out. They have
as Mr.. Hay pe.tinently remarked. been
thoroughly advertised by the abortive
attempt to reasSemhle The Hague con
greSS. In the meantime. several de-
ciSiOnS by Russian prize courts will
serve rs valuable precedents when the
matter finally does come up. SO PreSi-
dent Roosevelt need not regret in any
