SCHOOL BOARD "ROOTER"
OBJECTS TO DECISION
the Editor Of THE TIMES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
The recent decision of the Comptroller,
as to the power of the Board Of Edu-
cation to make rules for the hiring OF
substitute teachers is a most remark
able document The decision declares
that, by necessary implication, power is
vested in the board to make regulations
for the hiring of substitutes, In order to
keep the schools in operation.
Then the Comptroller Immediately sets
about to name a condition so impossi-
BILE in it's nature as to seriously inter-
fere with If not absolutely prevent the
successful operation Of the schools.
He insists that no persons can act as
a substitute who does not possess the
qualifications of regular teacher, such
as a college degree or passing regular
examination. Such a corps Of experts
could readily secure regular positions
at a high salary in other cities, and
would not be likely to wait around
Washington the whole year for chance
of substituting once or twice month.
The fact of the matter Is, II Is difficult
in some branches to get teachers to &C
cent regular positions in the schools,
Now the Comptroller starts out with
the proposition that, by necessary i'm
pIication, the board Is vested with power
10 keep the schools in operation; and

of course, but it is not so poignant
as that of the young man who falls
asleep before he quits home, and leaves
the expectant one involved in maze
of doubt and uncertainty. Gladys at
least can lay her hands on him when
she wants him. Nor is he one who goes
away with words of bitter. anger when
she directs his attention to the fight
of time as registered by the cuckoo
clock. So long as he sits nodding at
her side-sound asleep if you will
there are no haunting fears that he
has gone with Maize on the Cloak
models Union picnic down the river
or is chipping away his salary in the
corner room over Fritz's saloon. On the
whole it may be that Gladys is lucky
and doesn't know it.
Miss Libby advises that she leave
the room the next time he falls asleep,
but the great friend of the disconsolate
is too modest by half. She should ad-
wise Gladys to read to him from one
of her own-Laura jeans very own
pulsing rOmances. Should that fail to
wake him up, Gladys might as well
break it off and avoid an early widow
hood. He is marked for the grave.

MANY VOTES CONTROLLED
BY CLERKS AND FRIENDS

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Is it rally possible that Congress
thinks that while many of the 15,OoO
Government clerks of the District OF
Columbia who are paid so low salary
that they cannot go to their legal resi-
dence to exercise the right to vote, tnat
each Of these 1900 clerks will not cut
any figure in the elections II the clerks
are not given an increase of 10 per cent
in salary at once?
There are 5000 Government clerks EN-
ployed in the District of Columbia ana
many think that they all reside IN the
District of Columbia and are, therefore,
not allowed to vote; but this Is not the
case. At least 10000 of these clerks re-
side outside of the Districe and at least
5000 will go to their homes to vote. Thls
leaves about 10000, mostly women, VINO
are employed in the District OF SoiuIn
bia and are not allowed to vote, out
who, through their friends and relatives
residing in all parts of the country, con-
troll at least twenty-five votes each.
And 1t is the same way with the SOO'-
900 employees of the Government RESIDING
in all part of the United States, VINO, l
believe, control at least twenty-five
votes each, making a total of 7,5O0,OO;
These are many compared with the
total number of votes cast IN the Unlted
States in any national election and are
enough to defeat any candidate opposed
to increasing the salary OF the clerks.
If this Congress does not do Its duty
in regard to the clerks Is It reasonable
to think that the clerks and their
friends and relatives will support them

who is drawing a pension Of S12 a
month under act of February s, 1907, I
fully agree with The Times. 1 believe
the old soldiers pension should be rated
according to circumstances. II he Is
needy and not able to support himself
and family he should get more pension
that one who is in good circumstances
or has a good position.
1 know Of one Government official
who gets between 5000 and $1,000
year, and when the act Of February s,
1907, was passed, 1 am told, he was
among the first to file his papers and
draw his s12 month. Do you think
that is Just, after Uncle Sam gives him
a position at a big salary?
It is not every old soldier VINO Is
fortunate enough to get Government
position. There are some untortunates
who are not competent to fill Gov
ernment position were it possible for
them to get one. These men made the
best of soldiers at the front, and were
the best marksmen In the service
There poor, old soldiers have no way
of earning a living only by hard WORK,
and they are getting too old to do That
now. That is why 1 believe this class
should get more pension than those VINO
have a plenty without a pension.
