Nhe resignation Of Lieut.. Pinch
| back offers All opportunity to deci-
SiVely test the mOOted question: Is
the Office Of the Recorder Of Deeds
Or not?
1t has been generally supposed that
the Office was placed in the classified
service by President Roosevelt, upon
the Recommendation of Recorder
Dancy. This is now disputed by ex-
cellent authorities and it is stated
that Recorder Johnson has the right
to name any man he pleases for the
place, and there will be no kick made
by the Commission, as there is no eX-
ecuttVe order giving the Commission
control. No eligible list has been
prepared, as none has been needed
thus far, as the office was filled much
beyond it's legal quota, and when va
cancieS have occurred, the position
was permitted to lapse. 1t is known
that Recorder Johnson would like to
have his hands united, giving him
freedom to appoint some of the
friends who have worked faithfully
for the party, and to whom he feels
personally obligated. Col. Johnson
is a firm believer in the merit sys-
tenn, but is not unmindful of the fact
that the worker is worthy Of his re-
ward, and that those who make vic
tories possible should be among the
first to taste Of their fruits. Just
what course the Recorder will fol-
low in filling the Pinchback vacancy
is not known, but it is certain that
he will be guided by a judgment that
will be reached after thorough
canvass of all the facts is made He
has the welfare Of his assistants at
heart. and this winter Col. Johnson
will ask for authority to increase
the salaries of the entire force and
to create a number of additional help
erS, among them private secretary,
at living wage. During his stay in
Washington, Henry Lincoln Johnson
has practically revOlutionized the pO-
litical and social conditions which
he found upon his arrival and the
plain people of the District are

School graduates resulted in bring
ing in many that would not other
wise have been reached, but still the
classes are not full enough to give
employment to the number of teach

hoped to make places for. Very few
of the class Of 1910 can be given per-
manent work, and the authorities
are reluctantly suggesting to the
large number on the waiting list that
they seek places in the schools of
Maryland and Virginia, until a call
is made for them. The present nor
NAL school enrolment is about ITO,
