Columbus, O., Nov. 20. (Spe-
cial Correspondence Well, here
it is at last. Democratic state
lob holders must have more pay.
1t is not known in whose fer
tile brain the thought originated,
but it is here all right and it,
needless to say, is being heartily
supported by every job holder.
The contertion is that stat"
employees and job holders are
rot getting enough money under
present conditions Of var tIm"
prices AID they must be paid
lnore if their services are to be
retained. 1t is said request Tor
a war" bonus will be made OF
tie legislature if Governor Cox
calls a special session this win
ter. OF course, the Governor
will have to send the Legislature
a special message on the subject
before that body can act to grant
the bonus. but those backing the
proposition are said to nave TO
fears but that the Governor will
hearken to their pIeadinge,
But has the proposition any
merit? Has there been any whole
sale resignation Of state employees
because the salary was made
ouate? Has there actually been
any let-up in state job hunting?
Does the Civil Service Commits
sion have any trouble in finding
applicants to take examinations
for state Lositions? The only
answer to all these questions is
NO.
There probably have been a
few designations by employees to
accept better positions, There
alv ays are. Is there a single
position now open in the state
service anywhere for which there
is not one or more applicants who
are willing to take the job at the
present fixed salary and be tick
led to death to get it? There are
no such positions known. Prac
tically every civil service exam
ination conducted by the Stat,
Civil Service Commission has ha(
a number of applicants and s.
far as is known there has beeI
no instance where an eXamina
ton has failed to obtain qualife,
applicants.
When salaries were cut by tn
last Republican administratio
was there any rush among jo
holders to resign and hunt bette
paying positions? Not a singl
state employe resigned then bt

(ASSociated PreSSl


 CHICAGO, Ill, May 6.-DelayeU The French commission which is touring the middle western states made it's first stop here last night since leaving Washington A big crowd met the visitors at Union depot, and all the way up town the streets were lined with people who cheered the commission and France.
 Fifteen thousand people of all classes rubbed shoulders and jostled one another for better places at the big Coliseum last night, when both Field Marshal Joffre and Minister Viviani spoke. Both of them were greeted with enthusiasm.
 General Joffre gave a graphic de- scription of the battle of the Marne, where the French forces brought the German invaders to halt and saved Paris from capture. He told of the incidents of the French retreat be- fore the Germans to the Marne. He described the plight of the French forces and how it seemed that they must give way still further, and how they were reinforced by an ill-eQuip- ped army fresh from the streets, shops, stores and dives of Paris He told the audience that it was this badly equipped army that turn ed the tide in favor of the French and rescued Paris.
 A large part of the audience were working people, and both General Joffre and Viviani dwelt on the patri otic part that the army of workmen in every kind of employment can play. The fate of the nation rests as much on these people as any other class, he declared
 The commissioners are the guests of the city while here, and will be shown all over the city today. They will leave tonight for Kansas City, which is their next scheduled stop

A determined effort is being made today in the senate to kill the cen sorship clause in the adminstrations espionage bill, which passed both houses last week in slightly diff ferent form, and which is now being held up by the conference commit tees. A motion was introduced in the senate this morning to elimi- nate the censorship provision, and all day the time has been taken up listening to debates for and against the measure.
 No prophecies are being made re garding the outcome. It is not likely that a vote will be reached tonight but the measure will probably be disposed of this week.

men The weather. which should be warm at this time of the year, was most cutting to the bare-handed and wet fire fighters, and to further keep them from using their best efforts in reaching the upper floor Of the burning building, the ladders 0n which the men were standing became coated with ice. In fact with the exception of not freezing their clothing, the firemen fought the fire under the difficulties of win ter fire fighting instead of only those which should prevail on a day in early spring.
 The Fairview hotel property was built in the early days of Fairbanks. For the past five years it has been used as a hotel, having been occu- pied prior to that time by conner cial houses and saloons. During the past several years improvements az gregating several thousands in out put to the owners, the Messrs. Smith, had been made on the prop erty, with the idea of putting it into condition as a first class hotel. These improvements had resulted in a material increase in the patronage of the establishment during the past year or two, and it had been the in tention to further improve the prop erty during the coming summer. ac- cording to the statement made by George NJ. Smith last night.
 Speaking of business conditions in regard to the hotel, MT. Smith stat ed that they had never been better. Under the management of Miss Fris the place has enjoyed a patron age which has never before been accorded it. As proof of this MT. Smith cited the fact that in the store room of the establishment there were nearly 200 suits of cloth ing the property of men who at one time or another were patrons of the hotel and who had left their belongings there with the expecta- tion of returning. Before the fire of yesterday practically all of the rooms of the hotel had guests, although there were but few people in the rooms when the fire broke out.
 It was about 7:3O o'clock last night when the "out" whistle was blown, although control of the flames was gained within an hour after the first alarm was sounded. The smoke issued from the burning build l ing in black, binding clouds, keep l ing the spectators from seeing just what was going on, and causing l them to imagine that the hungry flames might leap across the street at any time.
 Pra actically all of the members o the new city council who could ab sent themselves from their places of business were in the foremost ranks of the fire fighters. And il was Mayor Henry T. Ray who, witt his own hands, gathered up most of the hose after the fire was over taking it to the fire hall with an ex press rig and allowing the firemer a justly earned rest after their ex ertions.
 At a late hour last night Mir G. NJ Smith called up The Citizen and asked that the general public be in formed through the columns of the
