THE "oLD JACK" BEHIND CANADA.

To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Canada always liken in my thoughts to n
little dog OF my boy time Sport was small black
and-tan OF very active and venturesome charac-
ter and privileged In the eyes OF old Jack the
Newfoundland. whose maps he given 10 dis
turbing in many ways. One OF these ways was by
vociferousy racing down the hill after passing
wagons the highway below II all went WELL
Sports monotonous bark plainly said so; but some
times sudden change OF note told that there
a dog conveying that wagon: at which note drows-
ing Jack would first cock up his ears then get to
his feet In n rigid sort OF way. and finally make
off to the backing OF his protege. Many a blufing
row came to old Jack through the presumption OF
little Sport and n number OF hard conflicts too in
several OF which he got badly worsted ,
The very amusing thing. though, was the calcu-
lating presumption OF Sport. Many time have
seen him come to stop In midcareer and look
back to assure himself that great Jack with
in relieving call How patent II Is that Canada's
presumption Is based on old Jack!

In accord with the pledge Of the ST LOUIS pat
form, as Secretary Gage has maintained
The President and Secretary Gage are entitled
to hearty support Of Republican STATE coh'eh'
tons in UNFOLDING the Civil Service law anu en-
forcing it as perfectly as possible, ana the us
nositIon OF some conventions TO misrepresent the
reform sentiment of the party and the tendency
Of others TO misunderstood reform measures
Ike tho new rules are much TO be deprecated.
II the Iowa Convention thought that by ignor-
ing Civil Service reform 1t would thereby snow
devotion to the President and correctly interpret
his attitude toward the merit system as re-
veaed in the revised rules, that conclusion itseli
indicates how seriously the purpose or tnat re-
vision has been Inexperienced, not by critics
NJ the Administration, but by It's friends IL
shows how necessary 1t Is for Republicans ~
correct the mistake by firmer devotion than ever
N the merit system both In platform anu Ill
nractice. 1t will not do for conventions AT thlS
time to let the politicians who hate the merit
system lull them into silence or tempt them INTO
repudiation. Perhaps the spoilsmen think the
marty is so sure of victory that 1t can safely Vlo
late its pledges and betray its trust But 'hat IS
had notifies as well as bad morals. The Repuo-
lican marty never for its own sake needed I'D
,eko more pains to convince the people that IL
reallv Is for honest Civil Service, as the mlsin-
depreciation of It's acts by Its own adnereh's
shows: and 1t never owed higher duty OF
patrotism than at this hour, when we nave new
and untried burdens OF administration to Keep

To tho Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The name automobile Is a lingua terror
and sure to fall irto some sort OF a short cut as
bicycle did into bike" The word car" is an
exceedingly good one. and has found many fair
uses as In tramcar. horsecar. steamcar, electric
car, trolley car. and on. The name automobile
might well be supplanted by "autocar," as descrlb-
ing n vehicle carrying It's motive power and
unconnected with either wires rails or fixed
tracks. Allow me TO suggest the name "auto-go'

THE WONDER DOCTOR.
\ Charming Comic Opcreita by the
Gcsangvcrein Virginia.

The event of the season given by the
Cesangverein Virginia will be the won
der Doctor. Or me Art Of Making Bassos
into Tenors" comic Operetta in three
acts. for male singing societies.
This chorus of male voices have been
rehearsing for the last two months. and
a treat is IN store Tor the members of this
society. The cast for this operetta will
be.
Mr. Charles II. Phillips the Director
Of the Society
Mr. Henry G. Rueger. director who per-
forms the art of changing the voice.
Mr.. August Mol. the soloist.
Mr.. Fred b. Schaaf. Walter c. Schaaf,
and Mr. Charles McAllister, the bassos.
who are changed into tenors, and the en-
tire chorus Of the society.
The synopsis OF this Cperetta is as fol-
lows. The director has composed
hynnus 10 the passion members. and has
written II high, that the tenOrs are unable
TO sing IT, consequently they refuse, and
the director informs them that on to-
morrow he will have a French doctor
here. who will make the lowest bass sing
the highest G.
or course. the society does not believe
this. and makes fun Of the director. and
they finally persuade one of their midst TO
impassionate the doctor, which he does
nothing. and the director is satisfied now
that his composition will be a success.
In the third act the director is Just
beside AimseHf with JOY to know that
at last his wish is realized. and that his
hymnus will be a great success. He calls
on the society Ia begin, and when the
time came for the tenOrs he is i'm ccstacy.
but. alas they do not respond. but sing
lower bass than before, he is beside hirn-
self with rage. and raves and fumes with
France. for putting up such a fob on
him. OF course. all OF the members are
juhilant because the director failed to
realize his wish. and then all of them
after a while sym0athize with him. and
promise 10 do better.
The whole of this operetta is under the
direction Of Professor g. T. Mutter, ably
assisted by Mrs c. Fred Kohler as ac-
companist with Mr.. A. T. Sauerwald as
