A GREAT STROKE FOR REFORM.

President Roosevelt's order placing
fourth-class postmaster In states east
Of the Mississippi and north Of the
Ohio rivers In the classified civil service
was unexpected and forms political
sensation of some note. The order Is
understood to be experimental, and
this explains its territorial limitations.
Present incumbents will not be dis
turbed, but those aspiring to vacancies
hereafter must undergo competitive
examination and be certified to the
post-otflce department as eligible to
appointment. There ara something
over $4,000 fourth.cl class postmasters Ia
the United States, and about Is, 500 Of
them are located 10 the states indicat.
