A new policy has been adopted IN re-
gard to the appointment OF postmasters
since the fourth-class offices in West
Virginia have been placed under civil ser
wee by President Taft Instead OF hav-
ing the national committeeman and the
State chairman act as referees in the mai
tiers OF postoffice appointments, the Civli
Service Commission and the postotfIce
inspectors are now being used for the Sc
lection of postmasters. This fact was
brought out few days ago when Con-
gresham Brown recommended Patrick
F. Joyce for postmaster at Coalton, RAN
dolph county, and J. w. Hollenback tor
postmaster at Champwood, Mineral coun'
ty. Mr.. Brown was informed by the
Postoffice Department that the Civil Ser
vice Commission would be called upon to
name the postmaster at every fourth-class
office where The salary amounts to more
than $500 90 a year, and that post ffice
inspector would be sent TO each post
office where the salary is less than $500 a
year and where postmaster is to be ap-
pointed TO select a suitable person for ap-
pointment. This policy means that the
postoffi,e inspectors will name most OF
the postnasters for the fourth class offices
in West Virginia hereafter.
