The reputation of the District Com
nissioners as ''po-lit-i-ka-ters' has been
firmly established during the past week
beyond the shadow of doubt. But, as
vet. the other 'politikaters' of the Dis
trict know nothing of the ultimate plans
OF the Commissioners.
Within the past five days the following
things have happened tending to show
that the Commissioners have embarked
on the political sea- Gen. George II.
Harries announced the fact. He and
Theodore w. NOyes held long and secret
consultations with them. They have
received visits of f1attering length from
James Z. Fitch. of the Board of Educa-
ton. Perry Carson and w. Calvin Chase
have been seen stalking majestically
through the corridors leading TO the
Offices of the Commissioners at the Dis
trict Building.
Sailing in Submarines.
In the long and fruitless discussion
that has absorbed our citizens as to the
design of the rulers. various theories
have been advanced Some hold that
the new 'politikaters" are sailing the
statesman's sea in a submarine boat,
hiding their course from the eyes Of the
curious. purposing TO come upon their
opponents unawares.
The latest theory brought forward is
that the Commissioners embarked in n
boat with sails of gauZe. 1t is claimed
that the buffets of the local waves,

pute that may come up to the national
committee later.
1--WE cannot discuss the brief, said
Vice Chairman Ryan last night, until
II has been presented to the committee.
1t would not be right
Chairman Collins took a similar stand.
The meeting of the committee in
Slater's Office last night was harmoni-

ports decidedly favorable TO their
cause. -

The Hearst campaign committee was
compelled TO make a change in its
plans for a new home last evening.
Arrangements had been made TO have
headquarters, as stated in The Times,
in the Canadian Pacific Building, at
1229 Pennsylvania Avenue. 1t seems,
however, that the reports of disorder
in the Colorado Building reached the
ears of the Canadian Pacific officers.

COOK RESIGNED,
RED TAPE FLEW
Operation Consumed Period
Of Eight Days.
INCIDENT OF THE ASYLUM
From Kicking to Stoutenburgh, 70
West, to Charities Board
and Back Again.

2 he resignation of the cook of the
Washington Asylum Hospital has At
last been effected. the operation having
consumed eight days. in which time five
documents on the subject were written.
The District authorities are inclined
to point to this as an instance of thu
admirable way in which the District OF
Columbia is governed. II IS claimed
that. when a matter of administrative
routine Is done so promptly. it is con-
elusive proof that the government Is a
good one in every particular. The
amount of red tape involved is pointed
10 with pride, because a cock has re-
signed and things still run smoothly, in
spite of the loss of a true and tried
District official.
How It Was Done.
II seems that ten days age the cool
in question decided she would like &c
leave her District berth and hunt
enother job. Contrary to all her former
experiences. she was not allowed to
lick up her clothes and go. Instead
she had TO write a formal letter TO the
District Commissioners, saying she re-
signed her position, the resignation &c
take effect today
Thereupon DR.. ID. Percy Hickling ''hae
the honor" to forward the resignation
TO w. II. Stoutenburgh, the asylum
! intendant, Who sent ii to Commissioner
West That Official. recognizing th'
great Importance of the event, passed
the document on 20 the Board of Chart
ties. which body respectfully returned
the precious paper with the information
| that the cook should be allowed 20 g

ant and the visiting physician
Cooks Seldom Resign.
1t is said that the cooks at the hos
pital do not often resign. II is no
/ known whether this occurs from a re
spect for the Importance Of their duties
/ or from a Discrimination to involve tn
District officials In an inextricable MAJ
of red tape.
They need have no alarm, however
1 as TO inconvenience they may cause tn
| District government. Such a dOcumen
/ inspires too much respect and confer
( too much honor for the officials to de
plore it, coming. The red tape spin
from the spools when the cooks resie
nations drop into the basket. and tn
pens get busy.
Hereafte- no cook need be afraid t
resign.

driven mountain high by the winds from
outside shores, fell upon the frail bark
and beat upon il meTcilessly. finally
overwhelming it in the outskirts of the
District where the street extensions
begin.
This. however. has been denied by
some who advance the argument that
the Commissioners, having undertaken
to make such perilous voyage, would
not have set sail had they not been con-
fident of their ability 10 sail close to
the wind and to dodge the waves of
threatening magnitude. Consequently.
the general opinion is that the 'politi-
l,ating" Commissioners are still safe and
dry. whether they be above or below the
foods.
Where Are They At7
Today, as for the past week, the great
query is, What side will the Commits
sioners helpZ Owing TO the fact that
Perry Carson mas been seen near the
Commissioners offices exactly as often
as Calvin Chase. this question is hard
To determine. Have these two formed
a coalition. or is each one trying to
swing the new influence TO mis- side2
The pail of secrecy is as deep as ever
and the gloom OF the matter is lightened
only when one basks in the sunshine OF
the political smiles that meet all queries
aimed at the genial Commissioners
with a view TO finding out the true
status of affairs.
