His doctors say he may live for months in his present condition, or may, on the contrary, collapse any day.

Office The large amount of time , Seekers that President Roosevelt is Many. giving to appointments, re movals and office-seekers is causing a great deal of comment in Washington. It is the opinion of Bouie that a man who ii so devoted to civil service reform should clear the White House of office-brokers and assert that he will coneider appointments on their merits and at his own conuonience, in stead of hearing from everybody that wants oflice. The White House is a rendezvous for politicians who make charges and counter charges against the men who are in and against those who want to get in.
