BORLAND scheme
COMES UP TODAY
Rider Unquestionably Will Be
Killed Either by Point of
Order or Direct Vote.
CHIEF CLERKS ATTACKED
Missourian. in Appeal to Dear Col.
leagues" Says Officials Should Be
the First Ones Ousted.
BY JOSEPH p. AMIN.

The final test in Representative Bor-
lands attack upon the government clerk
will come today, when the House finally
disposes of the legislative bill.
The FIRST test will come on the point
OF order raised against Borland's sub
stitute amendment by Representative
MondeI, of Wyoming. II Borland finally
manages to write a rider which can
come in under the Holman rule 1t will
be knocked out by a direct vote on the
proposal to put into effect a horizontal
reduction of ten per cent in the num-
Der of government clerks in Washing
ton.
In a last desperate effort to stem the
tide Of antagonism which his substitute
proposal has aroused among his col
! leagues, Representative BorIand yester-
day sent out a circular letter addressed
Dear colleague" and purportlng to
prove that the operations of the pro-
posed amendment would not cause any
dismissals from the service, but would
merely take up the natural shrinkage due
| to designations, retirements, and deaths.
After seeking to show that there would
be at the most only two per cent of
dismissals, Borland fires this Parthan
shaft:
Knocks Chief Clerks.
"If among these dismissals could be
some of the chief clerks who have rushed
into print to protest that an eight-hour
day cannot be honestly enforced in the
departments It might be for the good
| of the service"
Aside from the fact that no chief clerk
| has protested that it would be impos-
sible to enforce an eight-hour day, and
aside from the fact that no eight-hour
day has been proposed by Mr.. Borland,
| and aside from the further fact that
these chief clerks have not rushed into
print. but have replied merely to in
quiries directed by Mr. BorIand's Dear
| Colleagues'-Mr. Borland's statement is
interesting and full OF meat.
That opponents Of the Borland rider
will argue tenaciously against permitting
it in the bill was indicated yesterday by
Minority Leader James R. Mann, of
Illinois, who announced that it would
| take a good deal more than an hour to
| establish the parliamentary status of the
proposal and much longer still to settle
the merits of the question if it should
reach that stage.

The fight Of the Piney Branch Citizens
Association against the location of the

mitted by Chairman Hitchcock, Has
Presidents Approval.


Presidents Approval.
Washington, Jan. 26sAn amendment
to the Philippine biiE said to be ac-
ceptable to President Wilson, was sub
mitted to day by Chairman Hitchcock
Of the Philippine committee.
It would provide that not more than
four years nor less than two years
after the meeting Of the new Filipino
legislature, to be created by the pend
ing bill, the president should withdraw
the sovereignty Of the United States
and proclaim the Independence of the
Filipino people, provided steps had
been taken to secure an Independent
Philippine government, republican in
form, stable in character and prepared
to enter into such binding agreements
with the United States as the president
may deem necessary"
The president will be empowered to
reserve naval bases and coaling sta
tions
The amendment would provide that
before the expiration of the four years.
the president would find that proper
steps had not been taken to establish
an Independent government, "or should
he find II expedieht as affecting the
welfare of the Fflipinos themselves or
the International relations OF the
United States. OF II he should be unable
to negotiate agreements necessary for
protection of American property" the
president would be authorized to delay
recognition Of philippine independence
until the American congress could
further consider the case.

Mr. Asquith's recent visit to France
with the British war council has given
a great deal Of satisfaction to the al
lies, for the prime minister is very pop
ular on the other side OF the channel
and when he paid visit to the front
earlier In the war he was greatly ad--
mired by the French soldiers
But even celebrated politicians are
sometimes not heroes in their own
country" as the following anecdote will
show:
On one occasion, during an election
in England. lady canvasser in q small
country place up north called upon q
very old dame in a little cottage to So
licit her good mans vote for the liberal
candidate.
In the front parlor she noticed a
framed picture of Mr.. Asauith, cut from
one of the illustrated papers. hanging
in prominent position on the wall.
Greatly pleased with what she took
to be the cottagers' interest in liber-
alism the canvasser said to the wame:
II am delighted to see that you are such
a keen adrnirer of Mr.. AsQuith."
"Oh," answered the old woman, y
don't know 'oo e is. l just put Tim up
there because 'e's the living Image O.
