stand fguratively speaking, like the COLOSSUS of
Rhodes with one foot on Virginia and the other on
Maryland and review the great fleet as it departs
from Hampton Roads its long cruise to Pacific
waters. While the President is man of peace in his
messages he enjoys the panopy of war; and in bidding
farewell to fleet magnifcently equipped for the

Room for Further Reform.

Not many days ago the National Civil Service Re-
form league held its twentyseventh annual meeting
at Buffalo, New York, where it performed it's f1nc-
tons in full compliance with the unselhsh objects of
the organization. The public may marvel that the
league has passed the tWenty-seventh year of its
stence without to show for its labors but the
public is likely to in its estimate because it does
not come into immediate contact with the changes
that have partially divorced the public service from
politics.
In the great departments at Washington and in
some of the divisions raidiang throughout the coun-
try from those departments political influence is not
exercised in the selection of government employees
TIE league passed resolutions commencing Presi-
dent Roosevelt for effective enforcement of civil SER
vice rules and oyng Congress for it's support of the
merit system If the league will give attention to an
other matter at its next meeting it will paudts
where none have resounded
1t has given attention quite exclusively to the belief
that partiSanship ought not to be made stepping
stone to preferment in the distributions of positions
under the civil service. 1t has never considered the
problem of the liability of Mormonism to inherit good
places without merit because Mormonism is buried
IN the businesses OF the western mountains and is
visible to the watchfu eye of the league
Yet 1t IS a matter of record that during the pro-
gress OF Mr. Roosevelt's estmab1e administration
