DONOVAN IN CONFERENCE.


District government In It's scope Is set
out In one paragraph.
DONOVAN IN CONFERENCE.
Daniel j. Donovan. auditor for tho
District. who has charge OF the work
ing OF the retirement law, insofar as
II applies TO District employees, was
in conference this morning with Com
missioner OF Pensions Saltzgaber and
John 3. Beach.
He discussed with them the status
of the different classes OF District
employees under the law. This after
noon he has conference slated with
the officials OF the civil Service Com
mission on the same subject.
All the missionaries OF the Dis
trict employees have been handed In
TO the Commissioners. and Auditor
Donovan IL now going over them pre-
paratory. to making u report to the
civil Service Commission.
The clerks who will be dropped in
August will be notified next Thurs
day. The deduction OF 2h per cent OF
the basic salary OF every employe of
the District and Federal Government
who comes within the provisions OF
the retirement law, will begin on
August I.
WILL NETAiN THREE.
|. Officials at the District building
today said they were not in "A position
yet to determine the number of clerks
who would be dropped from the serv-
ice under the provisions OF the retire
ment law. II is certain. however, that
several OF the old employees will be re-
tanned until they ask to be retired.
Three OF the older officials, former
AalI
secretary TO the Board OF Commits
sioners, and Assessor Alexander Nc
Kenzie. are sure TO be retained in the
District service as long as they desire.
IL was said today.
.Notwithstanding the work they
do" said one official, they would be
worth many times the salary paid
them by the Government to just sit
around and answer the questions OF
the other officials OF the District
government
"They have been in the service OF
the government many years. and un-
like many OF the older clerks, they
have occupied positions OF response
bility and positions that called for the
exercise of much executive ability.
"HUMAN ENCYCLOPEDIAs.-
"The services they have performed
have placed them in a position to get
information. which no other official
of the Government has.
They are human encyclopedias, and
the District government would suffer
an irrcparable loss II they severed
their connection with the govern
ment."
The status OF the per diem employees
Of the District Is giving much concern
IN 10 l.
tory rolls present an easy problem
80 do some of the per dem employees
such as the mechanics and inspectors
who are employed the entire year, but
the per diem employees who work only
part of the year are n puzzle to those
who have the task Of administering
the new law. They are not quite sure
just how to compute the length OF
the services OF these employees.

A SYNDICATE PRESIDENT

IF by any miscarriage of suffrage
Senator Harding should be success
full at the polls, who would be presi-
dent Of the United States?
The Senator and the dominant
group in the Senate" that nominated
him have repudiated what they call
Ia "one-man" presidency, provided
by the constitution. The candidate
has even announced that he intends
to make the president a member
of his cabinet, for which there is no
provision whatever in the constitu-
ton. The presidency is to be run
by a syndicate; everybody-that is,
everybody in the Senatorial Syndi-
cate-is to have something to say.
There is no question about who
will be president if Gov Cox shall be
elected. The president in name and
in fact will be James M. Cox. If
Senator Harding shall be elected the
president in name will be Warren
G. Harding, but Board Of Directors
composed Of Penrose, Lodge, Smoot
ct al. will be president in fact.
Do the American people want a
syndicated president?
There has been no finer note of
patriotism and Americanism struck
in any campaign than the tributes
Gov. Cox is paying in his speeches
to the memory and the valor of "our
boys who died and are sleeping in
France" and to their brave comrades
who survived, and the reiteration of
his determination to keep faith with
the dead" Gov. Cox has not for
gotten what they fought and what
they died for, and as president Of
United States they could have no
the UNI States they oould have no
more faithful and sympathetic trus-
tee Of their interests.

THE SPENDING CRAZE

One of the anomlies of the present
situation is that almost everybody
assumes a crash \of some kind to be
ahead. but those Nwho say the most
about it are doing the least to avert
what can easily be turned aside if
people generally will use a modicum
of the common sense with which the
genus homo is popularity supposed
to be endowed.
But when forty to fifty thousand
chauffeurs are employed in a single
city at wages from 20 to 40 per cent.
higher than during the war; when
single families employ the services
and absorb the lives of dozen or
sometimes 40 to so servants; when
flunkies by the thousands hang upon
the return of their financial masters,
waiting to jump at their words,
whether sensible or senseless. when
robust human energy at this rate is
needlessly absorbed by the few for
no other reason except the fact that
they have the money with which to
pay for it, while men are needed to
work the land to produce the food of
the people and to provide something
like adequate transportation; when
theater tickets will sell at $5 and up;
when moving picture relays stretch
crowds out into the streets, obstruct-
ing traffic both day and night: when
furs are bought on the installment
plan to be worn in August; when men
by the hundreds are using Pullman
sleepers who do not know how to
turn on the water in lavatories, but
must ride in Pullman or pay fines
to the union: when boys who never
earned a dollar are driving cars by
the thousands or sporting S12 to $40
silk shirts-when these things are
going on unchecked week after week,
month after month, with no sign of
returning sanity. it is time to drive
a stake and to inquire just how far
we have progressed along the road
to national oblivion.-Country Cen
tleman.

employees at great industrial plants
were told by their superiRteHdents,
the agents Of special interests, that
unless they voted as they 1.-THE repre-

On the other hand, in the days of
"normalcy," in the cold times"
there was no Federal Reserve sys-
tenn; panics were as frequent as the
seasons. and national bank failures
occurred on an average Of one every
three weeks; there was no Farm
Loan system; small farmers were
the victims of mortgage bank pirates
and tenancy was the curse of the
land; there was no Federal aid in
road building, and every farmer paid
"mud tax" there was no merchant
marine; there was none Of the many
beneficent legislative enactments of
the last two Democratic administra-
ton, which wrested the power of
government out of the hands of a
few and lodged it in the hands of
the people. In those days of "nor-
malcy" an insidious lobby guided the
hand that wrote the laws placed upon
the nations statute books, until driv-

MORE REPUBLICAN PROMISES

Representative Slemp, of Virginia,
one of Senator Harding's campaign
lieutenants, promises that if the Re
publicans are successful in November
they viii reduce the living cost by
revising the excess profits tax, by
repeating the transportation tax, by
increasing the tariff schedules and
by modifying the income tax laws.
The Republicans have controlled
both houses Of Congress since May,
1919. Why, Mr.. Slemp, have they
not already done these things? Ger
tainly, it wasn't for fear of presi-
Dental veto, for the president for
more than once asked Congress to do
at least some Of them.

years was recognized as one Of the

Of the State, and Mr.. Sanford's
brother. Hon. Allan D. Sanford, of
Waco, Texas, who is one Of the lead
ing lawyers and probably the most
widely known lawyer, both in Texas
and other States.
We can not let the opportunity
pass of paying tribute to the memory
of two members of this family-Mr,
Sanford's grandfather, Robert W.
Sanford. Sr., who died during the
Civil war, but who will be remem-
bered by our older citizens as one Of
the old-time Southern planters and
gentlemen, probably the largest land
owner and one of the most widely
known and respected citizens Of the.
county, leading member and officer
of the old Mt. Carmel Presbyterian
church, around which cluster so many
of the best memories of the county,
and who, although opposed to seces-
sion. when his State seeded, fitted
out his three sons and two sons-in-
law and sent them. to the front to
fight in the cause of the Confederacy
and DR.. J. R. Sanford, who latelyy
died at "a years, full Of wears and
honor, one of the best loved men who
ever lived in this county.
The men of Mr.. Sanford's family
have always exhibited the highest
patriotism, both in times of peace
and times Of war, men Of his blood
having fought in every war in which
this country has been engaged, from
the Revolution to the late Great War
His father, Col. William Sanford, a
16-year-old boy, volunteered and
served as gallant soldier under
Gen. Forrest until the close of the
Civil war. Mr.. Sanford's youngest
brother. Mr.. Edwin Sanford, the
only member of the family within
military age, volunteered as priv
ate in an infantry company upon
the presidents first call for troops
and served faithfully throughout the
great world war, first on the Mexi-
can border and afterwards in France,
in the meantime Mr.. Sanford serving
on the local exemption board at Cow
ington and his brother. Hon. Allan
D. Sanford, serving as chairman of
the local exemption board at Waco,
Texas.
Mr.. Sanford and his family have
deserved well Of their country; their
service has been unselfish, as they
have rarely sought public office, and
we sincerely hope that this appoint
ment will go to him.

boards of health in each community to

there was considerable delay at New
