FEDERAL BUREAU
HEADS ALSO ARE
BEING CLASSIFIED
Line of Promotion From Mes

kent Open.

Heads of large federal bureaus are
being classified along with the 107.-
900 government employees who come
within the jurisdiction of the joint
congressional commission on reclass-
ification of salaries in the District
Decision to include the heads of
such large bureaus as the patent bu-
reau, pension bureau and scores of
others under reclassification has been
reached by the commission after
much debate.
Thus the great line of promotion
for employees. from assistant mes
senger to bureau chief" is kept open,
and one of the greatest incentives for
brains and energy to apply them
selves diligently in the federal service
has been retained.
Cabinet members and heads of in.
dependent establishments will be in
cluded in the class specifications to be
sent to Congress. it was ascertained
at the commission today, but these po-

Argument which Won Day.
The argument which won the day
was that pointing out that by the
inclusion of the heads of the big bu-
reaus. such as many of the bureaus in
the Interior Department. the great
line Of promotion is kept open. Those
opposed to the inclusion Of the bureau
heads argued that cabinet officers
should have free hand in picking the
heads of the various bureaus under
them.
1t is believed that under the plan
adopted the positions Of heads of bu-
reaus will not be at the mercy Of
change Of administration. but that
those who have risen through the
ranks to the highest positions will
keep them year after year much as
other civil service employees do by
reason of good behavior and adequate
fulfillment of the duties Of the posi-
tion.
1t is not foreseen that this would
unduly tie the hands of cabinet Off
GERS In the matter of making appoint
ments. but, on the other hand. would
give them tried men with whom to

The Story Of Sixteen
G. O. p. Conventions
Third Convention
BY A. II.

Third Convention
The third Republican National Con-
I Vention met In the midst OF Civil
/ War. And though acrimony. dissen-
| sions and disappointmcnts threatened
Lincoln from all sides. Destiny had
| plain sailing when the clans hnal!y
| gathered at Baltimore on June z,
1854. Prior thereto the famous
"Pcmeroy Circular" had unsuccess-
fully tried toFrally the party to Chase
declaring Lincoln much too willing
TO compromise with the rebellious
South. Later. other insurgents m
lariy-minded met at Cleveland and,
In the name OF Is states. actually
| nominated Fremont, who a few weeks
coin cSbal. engineered from New
York. sought TO promote General
Grant. But Grant himself peremp-
tOrily refused to countcnance such
political treason.
So when the official Republican gath
cring convened. the atmosphere and
the track were clear. Robert J..
Breckenridge, "the Old Wal Horse OF
Kentucky" was temporary chairman
and Governor Dennison of Ohio was
permanent chairman.
Lincoln was re-nominated on the
first ballot. The result was: Lincoln,
asa; Grant, 22-the latter being the
instructed vote of Missouri delega-
ton. The nomination IA promptly
made unanimous.
Largely because Lincoln himself
willed otherwise, Vice-President Ham
lin was not re-nominatCd with him. |
Instead, the choice. upon a single
ballot. fell upon Andrew Johnson of
Tennessee, who had not then dis !
closed any OF the tendencies which
later rendered him SO obnoxious. |
The resolutions pledged uncompro-
fidelity to the successful prose-
cution OF tho war, declared for a
Constitutional ban on slavery, prom
ised faithful redemption of the public
debt. and reiterated the policies of
the Monroe Doctrine as a warningl
to Europe not to attempt to take
of the United States In her
hour of domestic trouble.

THE NEM SCHOOL.

AS desirable as 1t may be to have

lsuch a building may be needed at this

But even # tho present plans are

Miss Moorehouse, treasurer Of the

considerable business selling chem

sums Of money were paid to WRycOtt,
which he handed as "gratuities" to
engineers, captains, captains and
