Open letter to the editor of Century Magazine written while Roosevelt was a commissioner on the U.S. Civil Service Commission in Washington, D.C. and signed by him. He discusses federal appointments during the Benjamin Harrison administration, in particular those of Southern white Democrats and Black Republicans; he also highlights the benefits of the civil service reform law for the government and for employees and contrasts them with the old patronage system. The letter is bound in a leather volume and includes a title page and portrait of Roosevelt. Written on United States Civil Service Commission letterhead. Published in Century Magazine, May 1894.
