Roosevelt has been compared BIZ some to
Caesar and Napoleon. but there is an old
negro near my home who rcveres MIN more
highly. said s. Read Hynson. OF washing
ton. at the Jefferson last night. Mr.. Hyn-
son is well known ciubman and sports
man. and is on his way to his country house
near occoquan
There is hs<!ng club near occoquan, o,
which the habltues are we'll know Washing
,onians. The old negro to whom l refer Is
the polite general seryitor and steward of
the club. During the last administration OF
President Roosevelt he was invited down for
a couple of days guest OF the Sub.
Provisions of fine quality were shipped
down, together with several cases of the
very best champagne that could be pro-
cured. OF course, ] do not mean 10 let you
infer that the chief magistrate took any of
the wine. but simply cay tina, It was there
while he was there. When he left one case
was left.
Roosevelt came down and forthwith COM
manded the affection of the old colored
steward. After he had gone no one could get
the old fellow to break open that last case
OF fine champagne. He insisted on serving
some other kind. 1t is there still. and 1t
probably win be unbsoken as long as the
old man is with the club. To all entreat!es
for the precious vintage the old negro re-
piles: sub, hits sacred?'' And he keeps
the case as the apple OF mis- eye.
Some think the steward believes Roose-
Welt Will como back for that case, and Is
afraid 10 give IL 10 anybody else. Its a
safe bet the ex-Ptcsident will be the only
person that will get it as long as the faith
tul steward is in the service OF that little
club out on the bay
1T is hard indeed for Legislature to

but the late departed body amothered
the best bill offered in recent years when
II failed to pass what was called the West
fee bill. This bill was extremely conserva-
at best, but 1t would have been step in
the right direction. 1t merely required all the
officers of the Commonwealth to keep
record of all fees received by them, from
whatever SOURCE with the service rendered
for the fee, and to report these amounts
annually. IT passes the average citizens
comprehension to be able TO understand
why this bill did not become a law 1t
poached on nobody's sacred preserves; cur
tailed no ones compensation: it merely gave
the people the right to know how much
money their servants are receiving
There is a general feeling" he continued,
warming up to the subject, that many
officials who are paid as whole or in part
by fees are receiving compensation to
degree entirely out of proportion to the SER
vice they perform. This has caused con-
stan,ly growing demand for abolition OF me
entire Tee sysSm. Occasionally one OF
these officers tells the public that II is mis-
taken and that the position does not pay
nearly as much as it is reputed to do.
thi. is true where Is the objection to let
ting the people know the exact amount!
