but this vocation does not interfere

AMONG the important subjects De
fore is that Of reform
"a and reorganization In IA diplo-
matte and consular service. 1t
happens that at the time this subject Is
under consideration important changes
are pending in the personnel of our
diplomatic force. New men and new
methods and promotions for faithful
service will. il Is hoped. tend to increase
the prestige of the United States abroad
and develop and strengthen information
al friendship and business relations.
Among the diplomats who are SEIZED
uled for promotion are the ambassador
to Brazil. David L. Thompson; the min
lister to Japan. Lloyd c. Griscom; the
minister to Turkey. John G.. A. Leish-
man: the minister to Switzerland, Da-
vid Jayne Hill. and the third assistant
secretary OF state. Herbert II. d.. Peirce.
Mr.. Peirce will be the first minister OF
the United States TO Norway and Mr..
Thompson. II is expected, will be pro-
noted from the Brazilian embassy to
that of Mexico, a post which the growth
of the Mexican republic and u in
creased relations with 1t have rendered
a most responsible one. Mr.. Grlscom's
services at the court of the mikado will
be rewarded. 1t is thought. by promo
ton to the Brazilian embassy. and IT
Is supposed to be the presidents plan
that Mr.. Leishman shall be the first
ambassador to japan.
The post of ambassador to Brazil will
be of especial Importance in the near
future in view of the fact that the pan
American congress is to assemble at
Rio Janeiro for its mex session. 1t Is
the earnest desire that the good work
Of cementing friendship between the
different countries of pan-America shall
go on. and to that end it is highly de-
sirable that diplomatic and consular
posts In countries to the north and
south of us shall be suitably filed.
The subject of consular reform is n
that is engaging the especial attention
of the new secretary of state, Elihu
Root. The bill providing for reform
and reorganization of the consular
service, known as the Lodge bill, aims
to classify the service and abolish
many abuses now connected with 1t.
Its effect would, II is believed, be to
provide greater incentives to good
work ON the part of our consular agents
than now exist and thus increase our
foreign trade.
In the diplomatic service the most
pressing need is said to be that Of

homes for our diplomatic representa-
tives in the great capitals of the world.
Uncle Sam pays Whitelaw Reid ST.
500 a year for representing him at the
court Of st. James, and Mr.. Reid pays
$4,000 a year rent for his house in
London. That leaves $500 for keeping
up the establishment, entertaining the
numerous guests and paying the gro
Gerry, meat and wine bills, Besides the
embassy home in London. Mr.. Reid
has a country house, Wrest Park,
where he goes to enjoy the seclusion
and rest which even an ambassador
occasionally needs. Conditions some
what similar exist at the other leading
European capitals. The dignity of the
great American nation has to be sup
ported abroad somehow, and under the
circumstances only rich Americans can
do it. This state of things is held to
be inconsistent with the genius of u
republican Institutions.
1t is maintained that IL the bill intro

penditure of not to exceed So, 1000 In
building homes for American represent

gresham Longworth said:
1T Is an open and notorious fact that
with the very small salaries paid our
diplomatic ENJOYS In comparison with
those of other countries none but very
rich men can aspire to these offices;
that no man, of however great learning,
experience or ability. can represent this
country abroad unless he be a man Of
great wealth. No matter how much
salaries might be increased there would
always be an evidence Of the wealth
Of each particular incumbent according
to the style Of residence he occupied.

far as external appearances are con-
earned. the rich man and the poor mar
