In the matter Of the employment OF
public officials the News is firmly at
tached to the merit system. The de-
signs Of and the absurd conditions
imposed by radical civil service re-
formers are not Endorsed, but we be.
feve in the appointment of men
known to be specially qualified for
the duties OF Office to be filled and in
the retention of men who have given
faithful service and demonstrated
their capabilities. In such cases poll
tics and every other consideration

Bicycle Rules of The Road.

The speed with which the bicycle
carr les its riders makes it even more
important than in the case of the
horse-vehicle that there should be
rules OF the road and the rules should
be strictly observed. The following
code, which is in force in most of the
Coast cities, seems reasonable aid
efficient and should be adopted by
wheelers. Something OF the kind is
certainly needed here:
l. In meeting riders, pedestrians
and vehicles, keep to the right. Over
taking ard passing them, keep to the
left.
2. III turning corners to the right,
keep as far out as possible without
trespassing on the left side OF road
3. In turning corners to the left,
keep always to the outside of street.
4. Never expect pedestrians to get
out of the way; go around them.
5. Never ride rapidly past team.
6. Never coast down hill having
cross streets along the way.
7. Never ring your bell except to
give notice OF your approach.
s. In meeting riders ascending a
hill where the way is narrow, always
yield the right-of-way to the up riders.
g.. When riding straight ahead,
never vary your. course suddenly to
the right or left without first assuring
yourself that no other rider is close to
your rear or on side which you turn.
10, Always ring your bell in over
taking riders, teams or pedestrians, to
give warning of your approach. But
this does not mean that they are to
get out OF the way.
IL. Don't ride too close to begin
ner, and in meeting one give him or
her plenty OF room.
IL, Gentlemen never "scorch" on a
business street.

THE latest scheme for getting to
the north pole has been suggested by
A.C Jackson, president of the Alaska
Geographical society. His idea is to
start from some point on the north
coast of Alaska with three ships, sail
MS far north as possible and then tie
the vessel to the floating ice and drift
as near the pole as possible. Then he
proposes to unload herd OF reindeer
and start overland for the north pole,
unreeling behind a spool of copper
wire to keep in telephone commune
cation with the men aboard the YES
sells and to serve as a guide to return
after the pole is reached.

The man who will try to sneak out
Of what he honestly owes, will sneak
around in the absence OF the owner
and steal what he thinks he can keep
from being caught with. Some PEG.
pie are too dull to know that refusing
70 pay debts is worse than stealing,
becaAse no confidence is betrayed in
theft and and refusing to meet honest
ly contracted obligations the one who
trusts you is betrayed. OF course a
newspaper may be robbed with i'm
