about an alteration in the previously

Ave work for their country in posts
8abroad, Il fact which Of itself indicates
ne change that has come about since
the time when such positions were re.
Garded almost solely in the light Of re-
wards for political service.
There has also come about strong
sentiment In favor Of building homes

and ambassadors and making It posi-
|. ~ for the government to send to rep

l)ons men more distinguished for their
.1eains than for their money. It was
ellf. Roosevelt's policy to follow this
'1ean 20 fur as possible. and the idea
1ads 4 warm friend In President Taft.
The appointment Of DR.. HILL man Of
some means. but not Of large fortune,
- succeed the wealthy Charlemagne
Tower N ambassador at Berlin was IN
ilne with this policy. The talk about
President Charles w. Eliot Of Harvard
~ successor to Whitelaw Reid az am

- the same direction. The Reid re-
sRlme In London has been one in which

a4elds have cut big social swath and
u many respects have greatly in.
'egeased American prestige at the Brit
1sh capital. But only 4 man Of ex-
ceptional fortune could do as Mr.. Reid
has done In London. and the policy Of
combining such appointments to men
who possess great wealth is much
questioned. The suggestion that DR..
Uliot on his retirement from Harvard's
pfesidency would he ut man for rep
resenting the country in England has
met with response which was rev.
citation to many as to the high regard
In which he Is held by the American
public. From every quarter Of the
land have come expressions Of ndmira
ton for the venerable scholar who Ia
nearing the close Of his long admins
tr1tion of the affairs of the famous
university ut Cambridge. and that he
should round out his career in the
most important diplomatic post In the
gift Of President Taft has been char
acterizctl as most highly fitting.
This sentiment was happily express
Cd by Senator Elihu Root of New York
at the Harvard dinner in Washington
at which DIR. Eliot was present.
President Taft added his personal
tribute, which under the circumstances
possessed especial Significance. when
