Scott County Democratic ConVen-
tion.-The stormy weather that made
il impossible for many delegates from
the country precincts to attend the
Scott county democratic convention at
Turner hall Saturday afternoon did
not drown the spirits or dampen the
ardor OF the united democracy of the
county or prevent the convention from
renewing allegiance to democratic
principles in ringing terms that pres
age a democratic victory in county,
state and nation. The convention was
called for the purpose of selecting del
egates to the state and congressional
conventions, but with spontaneous
burst OF sentiment the delegates grasp
ed the opportunity TO express their
faith that democracy would overthrow
the evils that confront and menace the
country and drive from power the par
" that has advanced classes and ig-
nored the masses. Resolutions to that
effect were adopted unanimously after
ringing speeches had been made by
Hon. NJ V. Cannon and Attorney l.. NJ.

The Marriage Knot.

\ good deal is heard of the marriage
knot but very few of us realize that
the knot was ever anything more than
a figure OF speech. Among the Baby
lonians tying the knot was part Of the
marriage ceremony, says Home Chat.
The priest took a thread from the gar
ment of the bride and another from
that of. the bridegroom and tied them
into knot. which he gave to the bride,
thus symbolizing the binding nature Of
the union which now existed between
herself and her husband.

NO LOBBYING MONEY
POLICEMEN AND FIREMEN NOT
TO PAY ASSESSMENTS.

Behind a recent order of the District
Commissioners prohibiting employees Of
the District from assessing or soliciting
ether employees for money to pay for
lobbying purposes, Is said to be the story
of efforts of members of the police and
| fire departments to raise funds to pay fo-
the lobbying through Congress of the
bills increasing salaries in those depart
nents. The order has been read with
eager interest and has been much dis
| cussed by members of the police depart
inent since it was promulgated In a re-
cent bulletin from police headquarters.
The order is as follows:
THAT any employee In the service Of the
District of Columbia who shall directly or
indirectly, or in any manner whatsoever
through organization or as an individual,
financially assess any other employe OF
any department of the District government.

pioye, or pay or promise to pay to any
other empioye, attorney or other person,
any financial compensation to aid In Sc
curing, to secure or as recognition for Sc
curing, any character or kind of legislative
enactment. shall be guilty Of unbecoming
conduct and be removed from the service
therefor"
About the time that the bill increasing
| the salaries OF the members of the Police
Department was passed it was reported
that the policemen would be assessed to
pay for getting the bill through At the
time the reported plan was to have every
member of the department donate to a
common fund his increase of pay for the
first three months that he received 1t. This
fund. which would amount, it was figured.
| to about $4,000, was to be used, according
| to common report. to pay to men who
| worked at the Capitol to get the bill passed.
| The Policemen's Association was generally
| credited with being the sponsor for the
| plan. and was to- carry 1t out.
| 1t is understood that the plan met snag
| of dissatisfaction In certain quarters. Some
! members of the department were to get $40
| increase In pay, others $25 increase. Those
who were TO receive the larger increase
GOULD not understand. 1t is stated, why they
| should be made to pay more than the 9TH
| ers, and they objected to the plan.
At the same time 1t was also reported that
| q similar movement was to be carried
| through in the fire dela- tment for similar
| purpose.
