BOSS BARNES NOW
MENTIONED FOR
SHERMAN'S PLACE
Albany Leaders Name
Among Those Suggested as
Taft's Running Mate.

Informal discussion of the question Of
who will be placed on the ticket with
President Taft, to fill the vacancy left
by the death of Vice President Sher-
man. is now rife among the Republican
leaders. President Taft was in New
York last night. on his way to the
funeral of the Vice President. He
talked the matter over with National
Chairman Hilles, Henry W. Taft, for
mer Vice President Fairbanks, and 9TH
ers. Today the President rode on the
train to Utica with numerous members
OF Senate and House. and there 10 no
doubt the matter of the succession was
gone over.
The White House Is being deluged
with kilograms and letters Suggesting
the names OF men suitable for Vice
President. Some remarkable sugges-
tons are being made. One OF the most
remarkable is the suggestion that Boss
William Barnes, tr.. of Albany. be
chosen.
This is as interesting a suggestion III
Republican way as II would be to
suggest the name of Leader Charles l..
Murphy, of Tammany. for Vice Presi"
dent on the Democratic ticket In SINH
The Indications now are that no agree
ment on a name will be reached In time
to let 1t be known before election. In
that case, II the Republicans are beaten
Tuesday, the nomination by the Re-
publican National Committee will be an
empty honor and will be sought by few.
In such an event, 1t Is pretty clear that
men like Hadley and Borah will have
nothing to do with it. 1t will. in that
event. doubtless go to some man who
covets the honor of being in the also
ran" class when the electoral college
meets. The friends OF John Hays Ham
mond think he would like the honor. no
matter what occurs at the polls on
| Tuesday.
Until after Tuesday, however. II is
utterly impossible to know what I'm
| DortanCe Is to be attached to the fill
| ing of the vacancy. Some of the Re
/ publican leaders think the best plan 70
| follow Is to let the matter drift until
after election. taking the view thst to
have a number OF men In the dinercnt
States aspiring for the nomination IN
case the election is indecisive will bring
the most votes to the Republican ticket

GOVERNMENT BUDGET IS BOOSTED.

During the recent session of Congress a cheese
pairing economy" program aimed to produce the
appearance of economy even though the fact might
be sacrificed At the end total Of ST ,0l9 100000
had been voted from the Treasury saving Of
$7OOO0OO as compared with the previous session
was the pitiful occasion for much Democratic cor
graduation.
1t was perfectly understood that in fact this ap-
parent saving had been effected by stavng off
necessary expenditures that would require 10 he met
later. Now comes the proof.
The budget prepared for the coming sessions
consideration by the executive departments figures
up ST 0O,000,000. 1t may be pruned somewhat; not
much. The policy of pushing the SNOWFALL along
ahead-and watching it grow and get harder to push
will not serve the purpose again. The bills will
have to be paid this time, and they will probably
foot bigger total than ever before.
Buncombe will get a backset when the next
appropriation total is calculated.
The Washington times., 1912-11-02

Of their enormous resources-or is he just going to
cut off little here and a little there?
What is he going to do with the trusts? And
how? Has he set forth any specific method by
which he is going to handle them?
What does he cffer the working classes? Is he in
favor Of any specific reforms, any definite, clearcut
legislation that will benefit the industrial classes
Labor, trusts, tarif-the three big issues Of the
campaign Where does Wilson, within four days
of the election stand upon any of them?
Now, honor bright, can you nail down a single
promise Wilson has made this campaign, accom-.
panied with the specifications, to which you can hold
him in event he is elected?

EFFICIENCY RATINGS FOR CIVIL SERVICE

The civil. service, under direction of the last
session of Congress, is preparing scheme of eff
cheney ratings for Government employees. On the
showing made in these tabulatons will depend pro-
notion salary advances, demotion, and even tenure
of position.
This is an excellent dea-provded
Provided what? Provided that along with this
mathematical system of appraisng the usefulness Of
employees there is devised some plan that will MAKE
1T HUMANITY POSSIBLE to enforce such an eff
cheney system.
Efficiency is not going to be scientifically attained
at the cost Of pitching the old and wornout clerks
into the street. Rating systems may be figured out
from to kingdom come; but they will not
produce results such as are desired, until there is
coupled with them proper procedure for wedding
out and retiring the less competent workers
Ideal efficiency will not be bought at the price
Of misery and starvation for hundreds of faithful
employees who are past the top notch of producing
capacity. Systems are we'll enough; but they will
fail before the human element in the equation.
The civil service will be put on the road to true
efficiency when system of retirement and pension
ing is devised. Not sooner

what Bryan says he is going to do, or what some

The results of these primaries do not tell the
whole story of what may be expected on Tuesday.
The primary voting at that time recorded the senti-

more than two to one. Add to that Progressive

time were Democrats, but who are now Republicans,
and the demonstration is still more conclusive

mayor explained his reasons for sup

good thing for East Orange.
Many officials who have the assess

the sentiment in East Orange in this
He had two remedies pro-
posed to remove the need of borrowing
money in anticipation of taxes with
such a large interest charge.
One was the payment of taxes in two

The members of Company H. Fifth
Infantry, Of Orange. are becoming
deeply interested in war games, which
are played upon the twelve-inch Fort
L~eavenwcrth map which was recently
procured from the Army School of the
Line at Fort Leavenworth. A fierce
battle YVES fought out on the maps on
Friday light, when the imaginary
forces under the command of Sergeant
George w. Winnett, jr., defeated the
troops under the command of Quarter
master-Sergeant James F.. McGarry.
The men are looking forward with
great anticipation to the maneuvers
which are to take place this summer,
and are working hard to get in new
recruits. All the repairs to the armory
have now been completed, and the new
rife gallery will be put In operation
next week
The last battalion drill of the First

EXCISE BOARD REFUSES
TO GRANT NEW LICENSES.
Saloons Violating Sunday Law,
Says Improvement Body.

The Excise Board has been notified
by the Eighth Ward improvement As
ISOLATION. through its secretary, David
Davis, that a number of saloons in that
ward sell liquor on Sunday in violation
of the law.
Other things considered by the board
at the meeting late yesterday afternoon
were applications for licenses against
which protests were made and which
were finally rejected. The applications
were for transfers. The board decided
last year not to issue any new licenses
for some time to come.
Emil @. Ill applied for a license to
conduct a saloon at 1857 Park VENUE.
Protests against the granting of this
license were received from Rev. Dorr
II. Deifendorf, of the Roseville M. e.
Church; from the Mems Assembly of
that church and from the civic Right
eousness Committee. The argument
presented was that this section of Park
avenue is residential and hat there
are a number of saloons in the neigh
borhood already.
Morris Albert's application for a sa-
loon at so Ogden street was refused
for practically the same reasons.

AMERICA TREATED
| COUNT UNFAIRLY
Former Assistant AttOrney-Gen
eral Tells Incident of Rev
dictionary War.

In the course of d lecture on
.'Figaro and the War of Independence
in Hillside Grammar School, Mont
clair, last night James NJ. Beck
CORNER assistant encouragement OF
the United States, told an audience oil
!, 900 people that the American colon
lists were guilty If gross ~ingratitude in
failing to promptly discharge a debt
OF honor owed Count Beaumarchsis, a
Frenchman, who impoverished himself
in aiding the colonies in the fight for
independence. The lecture was under
the auspices of the outlook Club.
Mr.. Beck explained that the story
he told was a matter of record but
was not generally known. He ex-
planned that at the time an appeal was
made to France for aid that country
and other European nations hated Eng
land because Of the latter's success in
the Seven Years War with France.
France was afrand TO interfere. fear
ing 1t would precipitate another war
with England.
Count Beaumarchais purchased arms
and ammunition and sen them to the
colonial army in ten ships. Had 1t not
been for this assistance the fight of
the ~solonists would have been a failure,
Mr.. Beck explained. He found himself
a bankrupt at the close of the war
q md asked Congress to return to him
8,60o, 900 francs. This Congress refused
to- do, claiming it was a gift from the
French government.
In 1899 Count Beaumarchais died,
leaving a letter to this government
asking that the debt owed hin be paid
to his daughter. whom he had nothing
to leave. Despite this nothing was
done until in 1899 the daughter sent a
petition to Congress. praying for jus
lice. Action was then taken. which
resulted In the account being settled by
the payment of $780, 900 francs.
