is always local politician The last
step III this matter will come when the
postmasters themselves are named on
merit.
The president has also recommended
to congress that all postmasters of the
second and third classes be brought
under the civil service law. This is
most important for it means the great
mass of postmasters. There are in Wis
consin for example, but about fourteen
first class Offices. All Oh the other coun-
W seats and towns are in these lower
classes and they constitute the great
bulk Of the patronage of the congress
men and it will be interesting to see
what action congress takes upon Presi-
dent Taft S recommendation.
Already the fourth class postmasters
north of the Ohio river and east of the
Mississippi are under the law by the
action of President Taft. They serve
one-half of the population of the coun-
try and comprise a third of the fourth
class men. As soon as this reform is
well eifectuated, the rest of the coun-
try will be embraced.

MERIT TO DETERMINE POSITION
Old Plan of Having Postmaster Name
His Assistants is Done Away With
With Recent Ruling of President
Taft

Lifting the postoffce entirely out of
politics, a task advanced materially
during the administration of President
Roosevelt, has been pushed to next to
the last notch by the very recent order
of President Taft bringing all assistant
postmasters under the operation and
protection of the civil service law
This means that these officials, hereto
fore subject to appointment by the
politically created postmasters, will
serve as long as they remain capable
and efficient. 1t gives protection to
5000 men throughout the country who
are really the working brains of their
Offices.
While there are many of the old
time Wisconsin politicians who still
frown when civil service is mentioned,
the day Of political spoils has passed
and in the future efficiency is to be
served and these thousands Of assistant
postmasters, the zeal working heads of
the various Offices, have at last been
brought under the shelter They should
have been of the first to be protected
but the political pull has been too
strong. Politics and postofices have
been inseperably linked in years past,
so firmly welded in fact that President
Roosevelt did not dare to cut the knot.
But these assistants have been busily
at work themselves and have created
so much sentiment for the change that
President Taft risked the displeasure
| of the thousands of postmasters and
took this most commendable advance
step.
In scores of Wisconsin cities, the as
sistant postmaster has served as the
practical executive under a number of
politically created postmasters) by rea-
son of merit alone. He has been re-
tanned by reason of efficiency alone.
But there has never been a moment of
time when he could be certain that his
tenure would continue and that his
