No President Happy Without Reynolds

common garden variety of reporter, a
statehouse reporter, Washington cor
respondent, an editorial writer and
an Alpha Delta Phi He has Joined
several clubs, and ever since 1906 has
been on Uncle Sans pay roll in the
treasury department. He is a quail
fed expert on customs matters, and
his fitness to serve on the tariff board
put him there in spite of his desire to
continue in his present place.

thon of reform in that place. He be-
gan life in 1861, later on he was a
lawyer, and he has ever since been in
the public eye. He was as necessary
to President Roosevelt as the big
stick. He followed Upton Sinclair
through the jungles of Chicago's pack

evils of city life. He formulated
nice plan for a new municipal govern

has not been tried out.

Seeks Raise for Uncle Sans Clerks

ton may as well be dropped.
He points out that many men who
are married and have families are
compelled to work along for from $500
to $500 year. This means, he says,
that many men of more than average
intelligence and ability caught fast in
the rut of government and municipal
service and unable or afraid to seek
more remunerative employment, are
making a vain endeavor to maintain
life and support their families in COM
fort and responsibility.
He says the men working for these
wages are found principally in minor
clerkships in the agricultural, treas
ury, interior, commerce and labor,
war, navy and post office departments.
Some of the municipal employees, he
learns, are working for from nine dol
lars to ten dollars a week.
AS result, he says, Washington is
facing housing famine, because the
working people cannot find homes in
which they can afford to live. He adj
vocates immediate action looking to a
general advance in salary for the un-
derpaid clerks. When their case has
been attended to, he says, so that
they have been made self-supporting
and self-respecting class, other efforts
to beautify and improve the city will
be more easy Of attainment.

main entrance 1t would be difficult,
if not impossible, for any person to
approach the mansion at night with
