To his credit, he initiated the parcel post and airmail services, increasing mail service to rural areas.

His term is often seen as one of the worst in the history of the post. He is known for gaining cabinet support for instituting racial segregation in the US Post Office, which President Woodrow Wilson applied to other federal agenciesrnRear Admiral Bradley Allen Fiske, during his long career, invented more than a hundred and thirty electrical and mechanical devices including the rangefinder, with both naval and civilian uses, and wrote extensively on technical and professional issues; The New Yorker called him "one of the notable naval inventors of all time."
