DEMOCRAT, LONG COP.
WARD. LOSES HIS JOB
August Ripple of Newark detained of Efficiency
During Republican Control Reduced "Laborer" When
His Own Party Comes Into Power at Washington.

before him. and when the Democrats
again came into control Of the House
THEE years ago, Ripple stayed on.
In the meantime he had won promo
tiGn to the post of assistant superin-
tendent, and he retained the place
undisturbed
Then came the Democratic land
slide, which gave the Democrats
about thirds the membership of
the House. They wanted offices.
Efforts were made by the leaders
to make some discrimination in the
division of the spoilS, and to retain
in their jobs some men who had
grown old in the capitol. 1t was
futile, though, and a clean sweep was
finally ordered. BARRIERS. janitors,
pages, doorkeepers. window cleaners.
toilet room acknowledgements and
everybody who had held office under
Republican congresses, was ordered
to pack and get OUT to make room
for Democrats.
From every section of the country
there was organized an army of
Democrats to march on Washington
to take the jobs. In some instances
the carfare paid by the .aspirants ate
up months of the pay, but that didn't
make any difference. 1t was the Jobs
that were wanted, and any old thing
that put a Democrat on the payroll
was a job and every man who had
been on the payroll was looked upon
as Republican and subject for
decapitation.
Democrats Get His job.
There had been a redistricting in
New Jersey, and Congressman Wal
| ter I. Mccoy succeeded to the district
from which Ripple was appointed,
The folding room assistant superin-
| tendent was passed on from Town
send to Mccoy as his chief Inherit
ance, and Mccoy promised to take
care of him. Then the trouble began.
In the allotment of patronage Nc
Coy drew only 5000 worth. Rupple's
pay was $1,000. Mccoy and Townsend
both appealed to the House leaders,
to the committees, and to the caucus,
not to punish a Democratic employee
who had been retained throughout
Republican years as a Democrat, be-
cause of his ability and faithful serv-
ice There was much sympathy for
Ripple, but no other member would
give up any part of his patronage.
Mccoy could get no additional allot-
ment, and after twenty years Ripple
was again restored on the payroll to
the lob of "laborer," at 5000 a year
all Mccoy had to give him.
The Newark man accepted the de-
motion gracefully, and continues at
his accustomed work. He is as cheer
full. as obliging, as much as ever a
walking catalogue of the folding
room, and as useful and valuable as
before he was denoted, and he still
is Democrat. III. b. w.

WARRINGTON Sent ~

A lifelong Democrat. first APP
pointed by Democratic congress-
man, and with a record CT nearly
twenty years of continuous and
valuable service. August Ripple, of
Newark, is today on the payroll of
the House of Representatives as a
"laborer," with 5000 year pay.
Under a Republican Congress for
years Ripple was assistant superin-
tendent of the House folding room,
at $1,000 salary. The scramble for
patronage among new Democratic
congressman cost Ripple his reduc-
ton in pay and almost lost him his
job.
The folding room of the House OF
Representatives is the department in
which public documents authorized
by Congress to be printed are re-
ceived from the public printer. sorted
filed away or distributed according
to the orders of the House. Prob
ably the best-known employee in this
department is the Newarler whose
long service has made him so familiar
with the contents of the folding
room that it is said he can find any
document ever printed without a
catalogue and in the dark.
Retained by Republicans.
When he first came to Washington
to work at the folding room job,
Ripple was named by the late
Thomas Dunn English, Democratic
member from Essex county. Rupple's
work won him promotion, and when
r. Wayne Parker succeeded DR.. Eng
fish, the single request of the author
of Ben Bolt" made of his Republi-
can successor was that Ripple
should be kept in his place. Mr.
Parker gave the promise, and
throughout eighteen years of Repub-
lican control in the House, Ripple
retained his position and made him.
self invaluable to members of Con-
gress of both parties, although every
year he went back to Newark to
vote, paid his own expenses to go,
and invariably voted the Democratic
ticket.
DR.. English, at one time in his long
and varied career was a New York
Sun reporter. When, three years ago
the Democrats of the district elected
Edward w. Townsend, of Montclair
another New York Sun reporter, to
succeed Mr.. Parker the outgoing
Republican member made the same
request of him that DR.. English had
made of Parker.
9TH regard 1t as personal IA

you'll keep Ripple in his position.
He's a Democrat, but a valuable
man.

U. S. Will Ignore Order
to Remove Warships

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IL
The United States will not withdraw
its warships from Mexican waters.
They will be kept there as long as
there exists the necessity for their
presence.
Any demand from General Huerta
for their withdrawal will be ignored.
This was the positive declaration
made last night by officials of the
state department commenting on the
statement of the Mexican provisional
President in his. message to Con-
gress that he would probably de-
mand within short time that the
American war vessels be recalled
from his harbors.

PENNINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Hun
terdon County Grand Jury, which
heard the case of Henry o. Right,
director of the Fairview Reform
School, did not indict him. He was
accused of cruelty to his charges.
Right gave up job at the Camden
Y. M. C. A. five years ago to estab-
