PAD PAYROLLS
IN TACOMA

TACOMA, Oct. 9.-Having pub
licly admitted that he has been
padding the payroll of certain en-
ployes in his department, as
was charged by Councilman Glib
lett recently, Commissioner McGre-
gor was instructed by the council
to revise the salary ordinance.
Chief Inspector Croak under the
ordinance has been entitled to so
much per day. In order to make
his pay amount to at least 500 a
month he has been credited with
extra days on the payroll made out
in the commissioners office. He
did not work the extra days, bat
was just given bonus by book
keeping.
Other employees, it is discovered,
have also been resorting to the
same trick, thus cheating the city
out of hundreds of dollars year.
The commissioner admitted the
system has been countenanced and
said the men were entitled to
more pay than they were getting.

Base ball did become clean. Men
and women came to know that they
could go out to the games and be
entertained. Rowdyism at a base
ball game became as reprehensible
as would buffooning at grand
opera.
THE tide turned. Base ball was
the popular game, after all. The
people did love and appreciate the
sport. Gentlemanly conduct on the
field did pay.
To-day there isn't a losing club
In the major leagues, no matter
what its position in the race, and

Washington Wanted
No Salary

The salary of the president of
the United States was the cause
of discussion in the first congress,
in view of the fact that the con-
stitution declared that the presi-
dent should receive compensation
for his services. Washington had
notified his fellow citizens that he
desired no salary. The limits sug-
gested in congress ranged from
$4,000 to $4,000. The salary was
finally placed at $4,000, and this
remained the compensation until
President Grants second term
March 8, 1879, when it was in
creased to $4,000, the present
sum.
Chapter 291S of the laws of the
second session of the Fifty-ninth
congress, approved March a, 1907,
appropriated for travelling ex-
penses of the president of the
United States, to be expended at
his discretion and accounted for
by his certificate solely, $25,000.'
The appropriation for the care of
the White House and its stable
and greenhouses was in 1907 $780,

branch of congress. He's on the
ticket for another term.
Discussing the selection of a man
to run against Sperry, democratic
leaders of his district figured his
defeat might be encompassed by a
young, active man. Hes too old
to make a stiff campaign" said
one. Yes, and he's deaf and both
cred with rheumatism" said Judge
A. H. Robertson, who lives in
Sperry's town, New Haven. but
when he gets through with your
young candidate the latter will
have all that Sperry now has and a
good licking BESIDES
New Haven, Waterloo and Merid-
ian are in Sperry's district, and no
matter how they repudiate a repub-
lican candidate for other places
they roll up majorities for Sperry.
He is elected as much by the demo-
Gratis as by the republicans. Loyal
democratic leaders make no secret
of their devotion to Sperry.
Sperry has been in politics since
since he was a boy. In 1853 he was
elected selectman and in ga an
alderman. He was elected secre-
tary of state in "a. He was one of
the delegates that formed the re-
publican party and nominated Ere
mont. Lincoln appointed him post
master of New Haven in 1861, and
he held the office until 1885. Cleve-
land had to use his greatest efforts
to GUST him and Harrison reap
pointed him, only to have Cleve-
land remove him again. Then
Sperry went to congress, where he
has since remained.
Sperry became national figure
under Lincoln by pledging every
cent he had on a bond that made
possible the building of Ericsson S
historic Monitor. At 81 he is tall
erect and lively, and his physical
and political vigor is recognized by
his opponents.
