CLERKS ARE REDUCED
THEY HAVE TAKEN FULL LEAVE
FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
Acting Secretary Moore Considers One
Who Takes Sixty Days. Leave
Physically Incapacitated.

when clerks in the government service
persist in availing themselves year after
year of the full thirty-day annual and thir-
ty-day sick leave it is to my mind proof
of the physical inability of such clerks to
hold responsible positions
This statement was made today by Prof.
Willis L. l-oore, chief Of the weather bu-
reau, and acting Secretary of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and to demonstrate
the courage of his conviction he immedi-
ately ordered the reduction Of three clerks
holding important positions in the depart
ment These clerks, whose names Profess
Moore preferred not to make public
according to the records, have taken the
full siXty-day leave every year for several
years. Two of them were employed in the
weather bureau and for this reason Pro-
feSSOr Moore felt no heSitancy in taking
the radical action attributed to him. The
order created a momentary furry among
the clerks in the Department of Agricul-
ture, and it is probable that they will be
more Sparng in taking advantage of the
sick leave in the future.
His Attention Called to Matter.
when l assumed temporary charge Of
this department several days ago, upon the
departure of Secretary Wilson," said Pro-
fessor Moore, in explanation of his order,
it was called to my attention that some
of our best clerkS-Or, rather clerks hold
ing the best positions-were in the habit of
availing themselves of their full thirty
days sick leave, in addition to their annual
leave. An abundance of physicians GER
tificates were filed to show that the clerks
were actually sick for one month every
year, and the records show that the de-
partment has had only ten months work
annually from each of them.
Il looked up the law, and discovered that
both the thirty-day annual and the lhirty-
day sick leaves are discretionary with the
head of the department. He may grant
both, or deny both, as he sees fit. 1t did
not take me long to determine that the
privilege was being abused, and l decided
upon the course Of action have taken. 1t
is clear to me that If a clerk is actually i'll
thirty days every year, and needs an addi-
tional thirty days for rest and recupera-
ton, besides Sundays and other holidays,
he cannot be classed a a healthy man. In
fact, such a clerk is physically incapable
of holding responsible positions and 1 IA
vor the promotion of strong, able bodied
out this idea l have reduced three of the
clerks holding important positions in this
department, and have filed their places
with clerks who are able to work eleven
months out Of twelve, .
Will Show No Preferences.
Il intend to show no preferences, and as
other similar cases are brought to my at
tention l will take similar action. Fur
thermore, 1 am confident the Secretary of
Agriculture, upon his return September 8,
will approve of the courseI nave TAKEN"

OUTINGS oYsTERBAY
PRESIDENT AND FAMILY ENJOY.
ING OUTDOOR PLEASURES.

OYSTER BAY, L. l., August 26.-Taking
advantage Of the fact that no engagements
are booked for today, the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanied by two Of
their sons, went for a long horseback ride,
returning to Sycamore Hill only in time
for luncheon. Business was deferred until
afternoon.
During the next three or four days the
President will put the finishing touches
on his letter of acceptance 1t will prob
ably be placed in the hands of a printer
September 1. The letter will contain ap-
proximately $4,000 words. The date of its
publication has not been determined def
nitely, but it very likely will be on Mon
day, September II.
The President has not received the repre-
sentatiOns said to have been forwarded to
him by the attorneys for the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners, urging action by the ma
tional government in the matter of the de-
portation of citizens from the disturbed
district in Colorado.
The Department of Commerce and Labor,
through Carroll D. Wright, commissioner
of labor, and his agent, has made an eX-
haustive inquiry into the Colorado labor
situation and is keeping in constant touch
with it. The President thus is enabled to
have practically first-hand information on
the subject. AS the matter stands now it
is understood to be entirely improbable
that any action will be taken by the ma
tiOnal government.
Students Dueling Exhibition Denied.
1t was authoritatively denied here today

did not send an invitation to them to come

THE RALLY

What has become of the good old
time political rally with the colored
lights, torches, marching hosts and
blatant bands? 1t seems a pity that
they should go the way of all old fash
toned ideas. The martial array was an
inspiration to the youth approaching
the age of his first vote and the open
air orator reached more ears than the
hot house plant Of the hall and opera
house. What has become of the cam
paign glee club with it's inspiring and
humorous songs? Where are the for
ests of party torches, transparencies
and Greek fires that made the political
rally a joy forever. Lewiston is to
have some able speakers in the near
future, why not give them an old time
reception in the open air where every
one may see and hear?

EAIR VISITORS

AT a meeting of the fair directors last
night the proposition of housing the
fair visitors and protecting them from
exhorbitant rates was taken up and
discussed at length. The sense of the
meeting was that all grating must be
eliminated and ways and means were
devised to effectually stop it. This
should not be necessary but unfortun-
ately it is. Nothing will kill a city. As
a public gathering place SO quickly as
a spirit of graft manifested by its cit
izerfs and so nothing could be devised
that would more effectually injure the
success of the fair.
The plan of the directors this year is
to have a thorough and complete can
vass Of the city made for rooms which
will be listed with location, price and
general desirability. One competent
man will have charge of a bureau of
information with a corps Of boys to
show the visitors where they may be
lodged. Last year this plan worked
very successfully and the bureau had
rooms and to spare. Those who list
their rooms at a reasonable price will
be assisted by the bureau in filing
them with desirable people. Every
one should be moved by the spirit that
not robbed.

Political Oriftwood
(Pocatello Tribune.)

(Pocatello Tribune.)
Frank Gooding, Idaho's sheep king,
will not receive enough votes in Cassia
county to swear by on the Sth day of
November next. The county has too
many cattle growers to vote for sheep
man for governor" -Challis Messenger.
Now from this it might be inferred
that all the cattle men of the state are
to oppose the election OF Mr.. Gooding.
1t could only be upon one question
the two-mile limit law. Certainly his
character as a citizen is above repreach
and his record in the republican party
beyond criticism So it must be the
two-mile limit law.
Now let us see Mr.. Goodings own
stand on this question. In every speech
he has made in this campaign he has
declared that if elected governor OF
Idaho, and a bill should pass the Leg
islature repeating the existing law re-
garding the hearding Of sheep, he will
veto it. There is no equivocation about
this. There is no attempt to evade the
matter. Mr.. Gooding states from
every platform and will so state during
this campaign, that he will veto any
bin intended to alter existing condi-
tons. Surely his promise, publicly ut
tered is good. He has reputation for
veracity hitherto unchallenged. Let US
look little further.
Two years ago some gentlemen who
were interested in the sheep industry
in various sections Of Idaho conceived
the mistaken idea that Judge J. F. ALL
SHE, republican candidate for justice
OF the supreme court, would be against
them. if elected, met and decided they
would support the democratic nominee
because he had assured them il elected
| he would stand by them when the mat
| ter came before the supreme court
| The republican candidate was un-
| pledged, as one should be who is an
| aspirant for judicial honors. but Chair
| man Gooding, now candidate for gov
ernor, met the situation fearlessly and
effectively, and although these gentle
men were in the same line of business
as himself. he settled the minor con-
spiracy instantly and Judge Ailshie
was triumphantly elected.
Can any one ask a cleaner record or
this question than that of Mr.. Good
ing's? Can it be challenged? This is
but another of the fictitious claims
urged by the despairing democracy OF
Idaho.
