OUR SERVANTS.

We have been very pleased in see-
ing the Advertiser take up the
Servant" question, and we are ready
to endorse the license system pro-
posed. The servant question is not
alone one which deals with our di-
gestive organs. even il our brother
of the morning paper carries "bay-
window" indicating good appetite
on his person. There are servants
who are wanted to look after chill
dreu, who are to clean your rooms
and among the rich act as maids.
They have the opportunity to cor
rupt or even kill the children, to
bring disease into your homes and
to steal anything in sight. We I'M
derstand that it is una American to
license servant, but it should be
remembered that our servants are
not Americans but coolies, who have
been born and brought up under
the strictest rules of despotism.'
They will not feel sore at all if they
are compelled to register before the
proper authorities as licensed SER
wants. They will do it when ordered
to, and the community will be bet
ter off. In Copenhagen as in many
other places where good servants
are found, it is the duty OF every do
mestic servant to obtain book on
which is the seal of the city, aud in
that book have registered his or her
name by the police Inspector in the
district where they live. If Cora
Bell has been cook to Mr.. Jones iu

cause she borrowed the bonnet Of
her mistress, she cannot take up
position as cook with Mr.. Smith in
district 10 without calling upon the
police inspector Of that district
within "a hours. Mr.. Smith will be
held liable to fine if he employs
Cora Bell without her showing him
the little book with an inscription
of this kind:
"Cora Bell, "a years Of age servant

as in service on June 4th 1900, with

ably "water front" affair which
frequently occurs in sea ports but
from which we so far have been
saved. We refer to the matter simply
to state that this town insists on be-
ing city of law and order aud that
there is no room here for thugs
and The class who will click man
within an inch Of his life," ss is the
favorite expression OF bullies and
the ours who strike from behind in
the dark. We know nothing about
Mr.. O'Del or his affairs, or whether
he has friends or enemies in this
city, but we do know that even our
most conservative citizens will stand
up aud enter a protest, even OF a
very practical nature, against the
presence in this community OF
class of men which is undesirable
everywhere aud which fortunately
80 far has been unknown in Homo,
lulu. 1t will be a sad day to Ha
waii when it becomes necessary for
the citizens to take a hand in
policing" the town, but another
occurrence like the O'Dell assault
will cause the friends OF law and
order-and thank Heaven they are
numerous-to act. Aud when good
citizens act to stamp out rufianism
they use short road and a shorter
rope.

p,sysH Of STAT. / ..r' ut0',

Topeka, Kan, Dec. Gov W. L.
Stanley has undertaken to inaugarate
q system of civil service among the OF.
fcers and employees Of the various
state institutions. The governor ald
Senator Smith, of Kinsley, are work
ing together on law covering the
provisions, which willtbe similar to
the Illinois law providing for civil
service in municipal governments
The proposed new law will provide
that politics shall not be considered
in selecting officers for state institu-
tons. The state board of charities
will comprise the examining board
and will act as the civil service COM
mission. Fitness, efficiency and
length of term of service recorded
shall be considered in distributing
the best positions. 1t is the plan to
make the civil service regulations ap.
plicable to the state institutions i'm.
mediately after the passage of the
law, which will then open all the
places in these institutions to compe.
tition by examination.
The plan as it is now considered |.
to cause those persons now holding
/ places in the institutions to pass the
examinations specified and if incompe
tent persons are now employed there
in and they fail to make the average
to be required, they will be displaced
and the applicants successful at thu
examination installed.
