to make a vigorous fight throughout
my administration for the enforcement
Of the laws.
Occasionally the regulars go to a
Republican, or have some one to do so,
and ask him to run for Speaker Of one
of the Houses. This means they have
sized him up either as fool or ras-
cal. He cannot be elected and if he
could it would be at the price Of hon

RAN AS REPUBLICANS.
Republicans are asked to call
themselves Progressives and thus just
ify their detection from the Republi-
can ranks, but there is not a Republi-
can in either branch of the Legisla-
ture elected as a Progressive. All Of
them ran as Republicans, and even
those who voted for Roosevelt did not
abandon the Republican party. l re.
ceived the Roosevelt vote just as they
did, and the Roosevelt Republicans do
not want them to join the Regular
Democrats any more than they want
me to. By the way, isn't it little
strange that the Regulars have not
called on me for a deal for the betray-
al of my peopleH have been here two
years, and have not been approached

There are two courses open for a
Republican member of the Legislature.
First, 60 cooperate with his Republi-
can colleagues, sustain the administra-
tion of Republican Governor, pres

ance laws, or stand aside with little
bunch of disgraced members who have
sold for some price to the enemies Of
their party and platform.

Congress to purchase water meters and
to use the funds derived from water
rents for that purpose. Attorneys Gle
plane & Clephane Charles Linkins and
Harry Leonard for Mr.. Branson denied
all of the rights claimed for the Com
missioners. They argued that the
funds derived from water rents could
only be used for the maintenance and
extension Of the system. and that the
surplus derived from an increased rate
could not legally be used for the pur-
chase Of meters.

Reform Already Begun.

With respect to the six offices in the
Department of War reported on by the
commission. the Secretary of War mas
stated in a written communication TO the
President that he not only agrees with
the commission in it's essential recon-
mendations," but that he has appointed
two boards--one TO carry out the recon-
mendations of the commission with re-
spect to the methods of handling and
filing of correspondence in the several
offices as rapidly practicable; the other
to carry out the recommendations with
respect to other matters which have been
brought to his attention. The Secretary
also states that in his opinion these re-
auctions can be made without discharg-
ing any competent employees. provlded
the law is repealed which forbids details,
since the natural separations from the
service run from & to 10 per cent per
year, and it will take some time to make
the installation The commission says
that conclusion is supported by the ex-
perience of the Treasury Department.

reduced in the manner indicated

Disregard of Health.

A further illustration of the utter dis
regard of the health and welfare of en-
ployes is found in the results of a bac-
THEOLOGICAL examination of the water
supply collected from the coolers used in
the Ford Theater building. That report
shows that seventeen tests were made
and that in eight of these tests bacilli coll
were found-n other words, the germs
that find their origin in the human In
festival tract. Another fact which is
significant is that some OF the coolers
from which water was taken were found
TO be in a more filthy condition that the
waste cans.

Large Economies Possible.

After considering the reports which the
various bureau chiefs concerned have
made upon the recommendations OF the
economy commission, and comforting per-
sonally with these bureau chiefs. feel
satisfied that large economies can be ef-
fected in the War Department within the
next two years. On the other hand, II
must be remembered that the prompt and
satisfactory manner in which these bu-
Teaus as a general rule. handle their
business must at all hazard be main
tanned. and il may we'll be that the total
savings estimated by the commission may
be fixed at too high figure. L am quite
clear that such savings cannot be accom-
plished in the first year during which the
proposed reforms are instituted. The ,ex-
perience of the Corps of Engineers in
making similar reforms in their field
offices has indicated that the extra effort
of insttuting the changes postponed the
realization of the full amount of the
economies until the second year.
Il also believe that in making any such
drastic changes as are contemplated in
these reports. involving entirely new
methods and a large ultimate reduction
of the clerical force, portion of the saw
ings accomplished should be devoted to-
ward increasing the salaries of the re-
manning clerks upon whom the accom-
plishment of the reform devolves. In no
other way can the morale and esprit de
corps necessary to realize the full benefit
of the change be inspired in the personnel
