The Motive Behind the Tenure Bill
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor OF The Star:
In the discussion of the 'seven-year
tenure clause in the bill of Congress
affecting government clerks. the dis
elimination against the District of
Columbia has received comment. but an
other peculiar discrimination seems to
have escaped attention. According to
the text of the bill, the proposed
structure is made to apply only to those
positions in the classified service pro
vided for at annual rates of cOmpensa-
ton
That is. salaried employees shall be
subject to the seven-year limitation.
while per diem employees may continue
Indefinitely. Thus the new order would
affect several thousand fewer people
than the $4,000 on the list in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
With this narrowed application of the
order. 1T Is the more apparent that a
peculiar motive is back of the bill
something other than the good Of the
service" Just what is it? NJ. ELON.

HIGHWAYS IN VIRGINIA
CRITICISED IN SENATE
Mr.. McCumber Finds Fault
With Roads to Arlington

Criticisms of Virginia roads, especially
those from Washington to Arlington and
Mount Vernon, We're voiced by Senator
McCumber in the Senate today in a
speech in which he was attacking pro-
preparation bill providing for federal
financial aid for building roads.
Senator McCumber admitted the bad
condition Of roads in many states and
expressed the opinion that the states
themselves ought to get busy and make
highway improvements. Senator Martin
of Virginia asked if Mr.. McCumber had
any states in particular in mind

ginia will be allowed to do with it what
the state pleases. But l am opposed to

Who Mill Suffer More 2

There has been much speculation as to whether the candidacy of MT. Roosevelt would affect more seriously the republican or the democratic party Democrats argue that it would divide the republican vote. Republi- cans believe that there would be a division merely of the progressive vote and that while the republican party would suffer to some extent. the greater draft would be made upon the democratic party.
 All this is necessarily a matter. Of conjecture but there was one thing observable in the ratification meeting Saturday night.
 The audience was naturally com posed largely of democrats many of whom are not enthusiastic supporters off Governor Wilson. There were few well known republicans present at the meeting and those few took no part in any of the various demon strations that marked the proceed ings. Yet the mention of the name of MT. Roosevelt evoked much more

Occupy Till [ Come"

Will Governor Wilson resign? That is a question in which the people ol the country are taking a curious in terest and some politicians in New Jersey are feeling an acute interest Some announcement regarding the governors intentions may be made after the meeting of the national democratic committeeman at chica go today.
 It has usually happened that can didates for the presidency have let all holds go and devoted themselves to the attainment of the main object There is one notable instance how a good thing until he was assured of the greater prize. Grover Cleveland did not resign the govcrnorship of New York.
 Governor Wilson is, no doubt equally canny. Within his brief poll tical career he has evinced enough of Worldliness to show a care for the future One. who as mere pros pective candidate for the presidency would apply for a Carnegie pension in furtherance of his political ambi- tions. would think the second time before cutting himself loose from the guberna torial salary.
 1t can not be urged upon Governor Wilson that his candidacy will SC engross his time and energies as to interfere with his official duties, for throughout the pre- convention cam paign, the governor spent the greater part of his time canvassing the country And the government of New Jersey still stands.
 A bird in the hand is worth a whole flight of them in the bushes Occupy till I come" is a scriptural injunction. Though q layman, Gov ernor Wilson is a good churchman filled with respect for the teachings of Holy Writ.

The new charges against him were re- l sponsible of course for many of the l changes in the roll call of Saturday In the meantime new senators had taken their seats Our own senators Smith and Ashurst as well as others who had succeeded to the senate since the earlier investigation con- tributed to the anti-Lorimer strength Others who had formerly supported Lorimer. including his colleague, Cul-
 lom. Simmons of North Carolina and Briggs of New Jersey turned against him. It is preposterous to suppose that these men had been influenced by MT. Roosevelt anymore than they would have been influenced by Hinky Dink or Bathouse John.
 There is one man more than any other to whom MT. Lorimer may at tribute his downfall. He is Sena- tor Root who prepared the original case against him with that match less skill which has distinguished I l,;,
 That case became the firm founda- ton of the second one which was won by the systematic campaign which Root had planned.
 Without Root who had unraveled the legal sophistry woven by that skilled artisan. Senator Bailey. it would have been impossible to mar shal sufficient strength to oust Lori mer MT Root had left no shred of senators could hide.
 One can hardly grasp at first the egregious vanity with which MT.
 Roosevelt's extraordinary claim is charged.
