Things seem to be getting bad

act of duty.
-Progressives insist that Roosevelt
will come into the State. There must
have been doubt to cause SO much
insistence.
Ryan denies he ever told Palmer

1T is intimated that President

THE LYNCH RESOLUTION
w VTHEN the commission form of
M government was imposed upon
w Harrisburg under the Clark

" IhEN the commission iorm OF
M government was imposed upon
w Harrisburg under the Clark
act without the consent of the
municipality and against its protest
most of our people like good citizens
determined to make the best of what
they conceived to be an unnecessary
and expensive change in the municipal
system. They realized then, as they
realize now, that the change was in
the nature of an experiment and that
in the working out of its several fea-
lures there was likely to be more or
less dissatisfaction.
Harrisburg had developed in every
legitimate way under the old system
and had become an example of civic
progress throughout the country, SO
that the change was regarded as a
rather doubtful proposition. But those
in sympathy with the new order Of
things concluded that there might be
an Improvement in the business fea-
lures of administration and proceeded
to give the new system a fair trial.
1t was expected, of course, that there
would be involved dismissal of some
employees and appointment of others;
1t couldn't have been otherwise. 1t
was. therefore, natural that there
should be more or less comment upon
every move looking to the dropping Of
officials and employees and the filing
of their places by selections of the
new commission.
So long as these changes are made
with reference to efficiency and econ
omy they will have the approval of
the people; but should they be made
on the score of partisanship or for
merely political effect. those respon-
sible are certain to lose in that pro-
portion the confidence of the public
Commissioner Lynch's resolution, in
troduced at the session of the City
Council yesterday, which provides that
the services of all municipal employees
except those whose terms are extended
by the Clark act or who have been
reappointed since the first of fiast De-
cember. shall cease on the first of
March. has created somewhat of a
stir In municipal circles. 1t is ex-
planned. however, by the author of the
resolution and Commissioners of Parks
Taylor that the whole purpose is to
clear the decks for such changes as
the heads of the departments may
find desirable. and it is further said
that many of the old employees will be
reappointed. Under the circumstances
the resolution takes on somewhat the
quality of a flzz-cracker inasmuch as
the whole matter of making changes
has been left to the future discretion
of the councilmen themselves.
There is undoubtedly some force to
the suggestion of Commissioner Taylor
that nonpartisan government does
not contemplate the taking over of all
the employees of partisan admins

paid TO the Creek freedmen. There
are over 5000 Creek freedmen allot
ted. and if this land could be recov-
cred TO the Indians, it would amount
to over million acres, to say nothing
of the money they have been paid.
The equalization payment as 1t is
now believed will be authorized by
congress on a basis of $500, instead OF
$500 as was first discussed. 1t has been
found that the Creeks have or will
have by the time the payment can be
made, enough money on hand to equal
ize on the 5000 basis and the sentiment
in congress is apparently in favor Of
making the payment. There is an
amendment which has been put on the
indian appropriation bill in the senate
which provides for the equalization
payment, and Judge Allen has sub
mitted a brief on the reasons why the
Indians should he paid. This brief has
been ordered made a part of the sen
ate record by the committee, and the
matter will be discussed by the com
mittee and by the senate. The com
mittee will take the, subject up after
the first of April. Judge Allen says
there appears to be but little opposi-
ton so far as the matter has gone. In
case the amendment is knocked of,
the Indian bill, an effort will be made
to pass a separate bin through both
houses of congress proyidinl for the
A bill to that effect has al
ready been introduced in the house,
and in case that it appears that the
to the Indian bill Is in
doubt. the separate bill will be pushed.
The payment of equalization money
as proposed in the present plan IN
cludes the freedmen as it was found
that it would be impossible to separ-
ate these and the Indians and get the
sanction of congres upon legal
grounds.
