raise her compensation to that paid ex-
ecutive ard other clerks, which is SIS a
month. The board concluded that Miss
Smiths request was equivalent TO a res
tgnstion. but arranged to retain her as
consulting registrar until the end Of the
year. Her term expires February rs.

Admits Democrats Are mt Sea.
j. a., johnson. OF Kansas. vice chairman
Of the democratic national committee. is
in the city on legal business. In an in
terview he said:
The democrats are at sea Just now,
Chaos is about the only term which aptly
describes the present condition Of demo-
cratic politics. The, republicans are in
the saddle and are running the govern.
ment along their own lines. We are in
clined to give them all the rein they ought
to have 10 work out their policies
Whether these work for good or for i'll Il
a question Of the future and one that the
people will finally pass upon.
There Is no one democrat in the nation
who looms above the others as a presi

will doubtless be some democratic gov
ernor who may sweep his state between

plane OF q presidential possibility. Just a

years ago. II some New York democrat
for instance. carries that state against tn
republicans between now and 1904 he woul
be a very formidable candidate for tn
place.
Tom Johnson? Well, I don't know
johnson is associated in the public min
