WASHINGTON, d. C.. Sept. 10
Appointments OF new fourth class
postmasters Throughout West Vir-
ginfa will soon be maze. and begin
ming in few days new lot Of post
masters may be expected to be APP
pointed every day till the entire list
is completed. BY an order Of Presi-
dent Taft issued In November, 1912,
all fourth class postmasters were
placed on the classified list. which
means that they were placed under
civil service regulations. Soon after
President Wilson came into office,
he revoked 1t and ordered a
general civil service examination for
fourth class postmasters, extending
the protection Of the civil service only
to those who showed in competitive
examination their fitness to hold the
positions. The examinations were
held in West Virginia In July, an ex-
animation being held in practically
every county in the state, and some
times several examinations being
held at different places In the ciun-
ty. In these examinations old post
masters and new applicants for their
places were placed on an equality.
and the law requires that person
standing highest In an examination
for any postofice shall be appointed.
unless It Is shown that there is some
reason why the appointment should
not be made. In which case the sec
tond on the list is appointed.
Because there were so many civil
service examinations In Virginia In
July and because the same process
has been carried out In other states.
the announcement Of the grades OF
those who took the examinations has
been delayed. It is announced now.
however. that the announcements
may be expected soon and that ap-s
pointments will be made as ranidly
as as possibly with the clerical force
at the command ut the civil service

ment. Certainly new appointments

would be going too far to intimate that
they were proud of themselves, but it
is not stretching it very much to say
that they counted noses with consider
able satisfaction and were glad that
they had not been left out. The real,
high-water mark in New York society
was established at this memorable
function. AS one after the other ar.

a congratulatory look from those al.

with equal amiability. Each one noted
who else was there. and each one said
to himself that at last they really had
something all to themselves. It was
truly pleasure, a relief, to be able
to do something without being pushed
about by people who didn't belong but
thought they did. They sat back
stifily, of course-and in utter stiffness
confessed that there could be such q
thing as the survival of the 6ttest.
Yes, there wasn't nose there that
couldn't be counted with perfect se-
renity. 1t was notable occasion.
Mrs. Wrandall. the elder, had made
out the list. She did not consult her
daughter-in-law in the matter. 1t is
true that Sara forestalled her in way

she would be pleased If Mrs Wrandall
would issue invitations to as many of
Challis friends as she deemed advis-
able. AS for herself, she had no wish
