Several instances have come to our
notice In which money has been OBJ
tained by fraudulent representations
from the charitabiy disposed people of
this city. Men with trumped-up hard
luck stories are canvassins the resi-
dence districts with too much success.
Generous people should remember that
inquiry should precede giving. and that
there is an organization in Seattle
whose business 1t is to look into and
relieve real want or suffering. We ask
them to read and note what is said in
a communication to the Post Intelli-
gencer published elsewhere,

believe IT to be justice and fair deal
ing to nominate him. We believe 1t to
be good politics to nominate him. We
believe that It is the duty of Republic
ans as Republicans, for the best inter
ests Of the party. to nominate him.
And for these reasons we hope and ex-
pect to see the representative men who
are now gathered at Tacoma perform
this duty today.

Aguinaido is afraid that he does not
come within the terms of the recent
amnesty proclamation. and therefore
has hesitated about coming in to take
advantage OF 1t. Probably the late die
tator would be treated like any other
Filipino. His boom has collapsed and 1t
is hardly worth while paying any more
attention to him than to any other mis-
guided native.

The Council Should Investigate.

The Council Should Investigate.
No culprit ever more thoroughly de-
served the drubbing he received than
the civil service commission OF Seattle
deserves the scoring given to It on Tues
day evening by the city council. 1t is
true that the civil service system as
administered in this city is a sham and
fraud. 1t Is true that the law which
II is supposed to execute has been made
or permitted to become dead letter.
1t is true, as Mr.. James stated publicly,
that there are probably more incom-
petent men on the city pay roll than
there would be II we had no civil serv-
ice regulations at all. And this consti-
tutes an abuse and an official derelic-
ton that should no longer be suffered
with an easy tolerance.
1t Is no doubtful city ordinance. no
restrictions forced upon US by a state
legislature, no petty or technical regu-
lation that Is thus ignored and defied;
II is part OF our fundamental law,
deliberately approved by the people. Our
civil service system is established by
the charter itself: a charter which the
people of Seattle adopted and which
our public officials are sworn to main
tain and TO enforce. II has therefore
the sanetity OF the highest law: and
when 1t Is neglected and despised, the
rule of law no longer exists. any more
than IL the mayor should attempt TO
enact ordinances without the consent of
the council. or police officers arrest citi-
zens Unfortunately without offence
proved or alleged.
The complete default Of our civil serv-
Ice system, not merely It's abandonment
but Its prostitution 10 unworthy ends,
is not thing to be tolerated tamely.

believe that civn service regulations

forced, in heavens name let us have

The appeal against the existing CON
di,ion should lie 10 the head OF the city
government. within whose province II
fails Ia see that the public service Is
properly conducted and the laws are en-
forced That appeal. thus far, has been
In vain. Considering the purposes for
which civil service regulations have
been trampied under foot OF late. there
Is probably nothing but obstruction T.

act facts, as these can and must be

A Reasonable Request.

A Reasonable Request.
The request OF the Republicans of
King county. that Hon. j. M. Frink
should receive the party nomination for
governor. is reasonable in itself and II
the convention accedes to it today, as
we have no doubt that It will, good
politics and good citizenship will have
their way. King county thinks that 1t
is within the boundaries of usage and
fairness when II asks this recognition
at the party's hands. 1t is the most
populons and the wealthlest county In
the state. 1t has at present practically
no representation In the councils of the
party. 1t is expected to furnish and
will furnish a handsome majority for
the Republican ticket this year. When
1t asks TO name the head OF the ticket
II feels that 1t assumes no more than
is its due.
The Justice OF this has been gener-
ally admitted throughout the state. The
failure OF King county to secure repre-
sentation and honors has been charged
to her own dissensions. 1t was answer
ed. truly enough we regret 10 say, that
King county was always divided; that
the factions In her delegations were
more Interested In fighting each other
than In securing recognition for her,
and that she could expect nothing until
tive voice. That condition has been
fairly met. The Republicans OF King
county this year settled their differ
ences at home and among themselves
After campaign OF unprecedented in
terest they named Senator Frink as
their candidate. and sent 90 the state
convention delegation pledged 10 sup
port him as unit. Have they not am
pie reason to ask OF the rest of the
state that their wishes receive favor

Their candidate is In every respect
available He Is far ana away the
strongest man who has been named for
the position. He can command the fulI
party vote and draw heavily from the

FARM TURKEY RAISING.

Kind of Food Is the Most I'm
portunt Matter.

When the turkey hen is in good
sitting mood, give her II eggs; at the
same time set two chickens on II eggs
each. When the hatch is of, give all
turkeys TO the turkey hen.
Feed the young turkeys on curd,
often mixing black pepper in it. Feed
three times day all they will eat.
Do not give raw corn meal; If fed at
all, bake into corn bread. Screenings
is a poor food, rs IL contains many
wild seeds, causing diarrhea, killing
them in "a hours. That Is the one
thing to guard against and the great

feeding only curd as the principal
food, you overcome that trouble.

You cannot shut turkeys up in coop
or yard, as they will die if confined.
After four or five days old, let them

night, which they will do if fed morn
ing and evening. For breeding pur-
poses, select hens not less than two
years old, toms from two to three,

Sells Fowls In Nidsummer.

The cockerels of this seasons hatch
when sold for market will pay all the
expense of their own raising and that
of the pullets. The time to sell the
cockerels is on the first day that
enough OF them OF marketable size
can be gathered together for ship
ment. Most farmers put off selling
until just before winter. The market
is then glutted and prices are Mt the
lowest ebb. The increased size does
not make up for the losses which will
occur In the interval between mid
summer and fall, and the smaller
price per pound which will then have
TO be accepted for them. Taking one
year with another, 1t Is saving OF
money to sell the surplus young stock
in July and August instead Of in Oc-
tober.-Farmers' Voice.

vCrted ut ST. Johnsbury Center in
1853. He joined the Vermont confer
cnce in 1857. and was ordained in the
New England conference in 1859. In
the same year that he was ordained
graduated from the Concord Biblical
institute. On April IL, 1859, he sailed
for India by way of the Cape, and
landed In that country, August 81.
DR.. Butler met him at Calcutta. The
young missionary was at once sent
to Bijnour a new field in northwest
India, where the Hndustani language
was learned and work opened. In
1861, when the India conference was
organized. he was made a presiding
elder, and has remained In that Office
almost all the time since. He has at
different times been in charge OF near
ly every part of the work in both con-
ferences in northwest India. In con-
nection with his work as presiding ell
der he established many primary
schools, including the Goucher schools,
with several middle schools and one
high school especially for educating
and building up the young people and
converts. lie also had charge Of the
publishing house at Lucknow for sew
eral years, in addition to district work,
in which time buildings were com
pleted and the house nearly freed
from debt. While thus actively en-
gagged in overseeing the work of the
church DR.. Parker has ever been an
earnest soul-winner. The revival
which spread over the northwest of
India, gathering in so many converts,
started on DR.. Parker's district and
under his direction. This was, per-
haps, his largest work. For this rea-
son he was removed from the care of
district and appointed general evan
gelist DR.. Parker il thoroughly ia
miliar with the needs and opportuni-
ties In India, and will be able to sue
cessfully carry forward whatever part
OF the field Is assigned TO him.

the wind has tendency to lift it in

the incline, thus affording no chance
for missing the way. A chicken is a
very stupid thing, and cannot be de-
pended upon to do any thinking for
itself. 1t is this nature of both old
and young fowls that makes it so nee
essary to be constantly watchful in
managing poultry. A little lack of
care and dozen chicks, perhaps, have
become chilled and lost. The ingen-
ious caretaker by using such devices
as that shown in the cut can save
himself some work by making it near
