THE civil service com mission in its
annual report recommends that what
ever offices the countryestablishes in our
new colonies be filed By men who have
passed q most rigorous and exhaustive
examination. This recommends
will be approved by citizens generally
with the sole exception of few spoils
politicians. The whole nation Is de-
termined that the administration OF
our colonies abroad shall be character
lied by progressiveness and rectitude
with as little as possible of the corrup-
ton which stains the good name of so
many of our own states and cities.

AS announced few days ago, the
Alamogordo and Sacramento Mountain
railway, connecting with the Ell PasO
and Northern railway, has put on a
large passenger service between Ala
mogordo and Toboggan, a station near
the very top of the Sacramento noun
tains. Tent life for the next four OR
five months in these mountains is
very pleasant and jolly good time
may be had among the towering pines
and waving ferns, provided one has no
cooking and dish ASKING to do.
In order to provide shelter, accC-
modations for visitors, meals and q
meeting ground for large assemblies.
the Alamogordo and Sacramento
Mountain Railway has ordered the i'm
mediate construction OF a very large
cient in capacity to furnish meals fer
one hundred people at one time. Con-
nected with and part of the pavilion
is large floor which may be used for
meetings or entertainments of any
kind.
It is an ideal place for a summer
outing, being elevated nine thousand
feet above sea level. 1t is abundantly
cool and in the midst of miles of dense
spersed with beautiful parks and glades
with occasional points affording superb
views.
Arrangements for Chautauqua m et-
ings, teachers associations. medical So
cieties and church conferences are be-
ing made and DO where within thou
sand miles of Ell Paso can an equally
beautiful place, especially suited for
the purposes stated, be found, while
with short railroad ride and tele-
graph and telephone connection to the
Pavilion it is brought very close to Ell

name as ''El Paso City Improvement

both men and women, and there would
be no election of members, mem bership
being open to all citizens. But the ad-
mission fee and dues would be
set high enough to shut out all but
those who would be active and earnest

have to do with everything that con-

the varied wants that are administered

showing what can be done by such
earnest work the list is suggestive, and
it is to be hoped that the reading OF it
will inspire many of our people to
thoughts of higher things. OF course
this is not the sort of work that we
should think of laying out for City

quite another matter. But oil tend to
stir within us aDobler ideal of life,

CLUBS.

The club movement Ia gaining
strength all over the country, and 1t
would be hard to find community the
size of Ell Paso anywhere in the east
which has as few club organizations as
this city. We exclude of course the
card clubs, of which we have legion,
and the other clubs organized purely
for pleasure and recreation. So far as
we know there are here only four
working clubs at present, clubs whose
avowed .object is to do good or get
good. These four are the Woman's
club, the Keramic club, the Music Study
club, and the Monday Night Chorus
club. All these, moreover, it is well
to note, are composed exclusively OF
women except the last named. The
only Organization among the men til at
could by any stretch of terms come un-
der this head Is the Citizens commit
tee. A brief list, to be sure.
It is hardly necessary to argue to
the proposition that by organization
alone can anything of real value to any
community be accomplished. Indi-
yidual ardor and devotion to a cause
is looked upon as freak or fancy, unless
it is endorsed and helped to bear fruit
by some other earnest people organic
ed for q purpose. One soldier can
make loud noise. but it takes an ar
my to capture a city. One company
can scale the walls but unless the regi-
ment is close behind in splendid order
and pressing forward with determine
ton the single company becomes only
q useless sacrifice. So with accom-
plishing anything along the line of
municipal improvement or popular
education-organizat is absolutely
nee essary in order that individual
power of initiative, originality, energy,
and sincere purpose shall be properly
directed and controlled, and made to
bring forth fruit.

GOETHE'S LAST LOVE.
Baroness Won His Heart In 1873
and sim CherisheH His
Memory.

AS 67 years have elapsed since
Goethe's death, very few persons now
living can have seen him in the flesh.
Baroness Ulrikc Won Levetzow, how.
ever, who has just kept her ninety-tfth
birthday at Triblitz, in Bohemia. not
merely knew the poet, but was even
privileged to stir the last embers of the
tender passion in his susceptible
though aged breast.
In 1923, then lovely girl of 10, she
accompanied her mother TO Marienbad.
where the author of Faust" was max
ing his annual cure.
Dazzled by her beauty, he succeeded
without difficulty in getting an intro
luction, and there ensued on his part
n serious attachment, cordially recip-
rocatcd. it is said, by the lady herself.
Fear OF ridicule prevented Goethe
contracting marriage of the May and
December type. He tore himself away,
writing the well-known "Marienbad
Elegy" in the post chaise that took him
back to Weimar.
Ulrike, having thus won the title of
"Goethe's last love" remained salts
fled with this distinction for the rest
of her life, and is still "Freifraulein'

beauty attracted many suitors. She
enjoys perfect health, and devotes her
self to the welfare of the poor on her
large estates.-London Chronicle.
