A PLEA FOR ROOSEVELTISM.
We are confident that the Republi-
cans Of this state have the highest
possible admiration for the present
president Of the United States. They
are proud of his candor. fairness,
singleness of purpose and devotion to
principle They recognize his courage.
sincerity and high ideals in regard to
citizenship and duty, and they would
be glad to have the party IN this state
conducted along the lines indicated by
the president in the performance of his
own duties and IN the frequent and
forcible appeals he has made to the
people for good citizenship. good gov
ernment. patriotism and unsellshness in
the conduct of public and private af-
fairs
We are equally certain that the Re
publicans of the state know that no
persons are further removed from the
presidents ideal of party leaders than
the principal men IN the machine.
We, therefore, invite all loyal Repub-
licans in the state to unite with us in
the organization of this league and as

nothing to conceal and we have no de-
sire to emulate the machine in its sub
terranean methods
We desire the cooperation Of all Re
pllblicans who feel in accord with the
sentiments we have expressed. We re-
spectfully urge them to organize Roose-
Welt leagues in their respective locali-
ties along the lines herein Indicated
and thus enable all Republicans to take
an effective part In harmonizing ano
uniting the party
When local organizations are effected

Desired, But MOI Ahrocfad BY Small Pap

A significant change is In the pay and
nSsaber OF lieutenants Of police. BY the
recommendation OF the Superintendent
of Police. approved by the Commits
siOners, their pay is increased from $50
TO 81, 800 each, and provision is made for
the appointment Of another lieutenant.
to preside over the new precinct which
il is proposed TO establish IN Anacostia
with the beginning of another year
Major Sylvester estimated an increase
of ten IN the number of sergeants AZ
$500 per year. The Commissioners
grant the increased number. but leave
the salary. as now, s1.140.
Considerable space and vigorous Ian
guage are devoted to the estimate on the
pay of privates. The last Congress pro-
vided for forty additional privates at
S720 a year. This figure has failed to at
tract sufficient men to the force to I'LL
these vacancies. which are nearly all
idle. Fifty-five applicants were booked
TO appear for the civil service examina-
ton for these positions yesterday Ten
failed to appear. and of the others eight
were negroes. In the estimates both the
Superintendent and the Commissioners
ignore this class. Instead the Superin-
tendent asks for forty additional
privates OF class one. at 5000 per year
The Commissioners approve twenty In
asking for twenty additional privates at
Sl.0S0 per annum. the Superintendent
has this to say:
This dispropOrtion between the num-
Der of privates of class one and class
two, which has been gradually growing
for the past twenty years. owing to the
indispositiou of Congress- to increase
the number of privatesi OF class two. has
had a tendency 20 discourage those of
class one. who should receive an ad-
vancement in pay after several years of
faithful service. which Is the case in all
other well-conducted municipalities.
There should be some substantial In

ducement held out to the members OF
the force for long service well perform
ed, AID II was the original intention OF
Congress when those two classes were
created that advancement should be 80
graded
y hope the Commissioners will aD-
preciate this situation. which experience
has shown to be discouraging, and
recommend to Congress that class be
increased in number from 245 to 265 IN
order that those IN class 1 may feel that
they will receive a slight advance in
salary after few years Of commend
able service. Under existing circum-
stances. a private of class ! must wait
at least ten years before he can secure
promotion. whereas zen years ago he
had 10 wait but six years for the same
recognition This is an evidence OF the
growing disproDOrtion between the two
classes. In many other cities the pay IL
scaled from $500 to $500 per annuIn, aad
this has a tendency to encourage those
most interested.
The Commissioners approve this REQ
ommendation.
Major Sylvester asked that the pay OF
the three telephone bureau clerks be in
creased from $500 10 $500. emphasizing
the great importance Of their work.
This, however. did not meet the aD-
prevail of the Commissioners. he also
asked that the salary Of the twenty-fOur
desk sergcants. who are in charge of the
various precincts during the absence II

from $50 to 81. f40 each The Commits
sioners compromised at a salary OF

mended BY the superintendent
