CIVIL SERVICE FOR COLORADO.

The civil service law proposed for
this state provides for the creation of
comm ission to examine candidates
for appointive positions under the
state government and in cities and
counties with population exceeding
20, 600 Elected officers are allowed
to name confidential CLERK or secre-
tary outside of the names on the lists
furnished by the commission, but
other appointees must be made from
among those names The executive
head of an office retains the right to
discharge. for cause. but he is required
10 state the cause.
The purpose of the measure is to
raise the standard of public service by
requiring that most of the appointees
shall have passed an examination to
demonstrate their fitness. The same
theory has been successfully applied
to some extent in the service of the
federal government.
1t is a we'll recognized fact that
some test should be applied to appli-
cants for appointment to public office.
Elected officers thus would be afforded
protection against the political pres
sure brought to bear by incompetent
persons. the quality of the service
would be improved and the number of
clerks required 10 perform given
amount of work would be decreased
Such measure naturally receives the
opposition of most machine politi-
clans, but many even in that class
would be pleased to be relieved of the
clamors of hangerson who would be
unable to pass the required examina-
tion. Denver Times.

Furnace Men Want s.Hour Day.

Pittsburg. Pa, Feb. lS-In indus
trial circles considerable interest is
manifested in the result of today S
conference of the executive committee
of the National Association of Blast
Furnace workers regarding the ad-
visibility of asking an eight-hour
day. The matter has been agitated
among the blast furnace workers for
some time and it is understood that
the recent referendum vote of the or
Ranization was unanimously in favor
of the shorter workday. The associa-
tion is now strong financially and
numerically and fully 20. O00 men will

What Heap of Happiness it Would
Bring to Florence Homes.
Hard to do housework with an aching
back.
Hours of misery at leisure or at work.
II women only knew the cause;
Backahce pains come from sick kid
neys.
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure them
Florence people endorse this.
Mrs. James II. Gill of $40 Union
street says: Unlike the majority
of people who complain of backache
and different from those who describe
their condition in newspapers, 1 snff-
cred very little from that annoyance,
but due TO either overexcited or
dition of the kidney secretions only
proved to me that some thing should
be done before the symptoms grew
complicated. With the passing of
time l tried everything which came to
my notice from reading, and as near
ly every friend 10 whom ] complained
had some remedy or treatment guar
auteed to stop kidney trouble but none
of them were successful | appealed to
"A physician. Later on if ! spent one
dollar for treatment | spent hundreds
and when went to W. j. Daniels
drug store for Doans Kidney Pills
relief, lei aicue cessation of the
trouble, was just as remotely in the
distance as when / began to expert
ment. Now / am not. prepared to say
that the treatment of Doans Kidney
Pills has radically cured me of kidney
complaint but they are by far the best
remedy 1 ever employed The Ger
tainly brought much longed for help
and help to anyone annoyed AS /, is
more than welcome | will be pleas
ed to give minuter particulars of my
experience with and opinion of Doan 5
Kidney Pills to anyone calling not
out of idle curiosity, but if they

sue to get relief. "

We quite agree. Every citizen and
taxpayer of a county naturally de.
slres to know the financial condition
OF his country, and it is but proper
and right that a report of same
should be made public. The tax
payer Is very much in the position of
stockholder in a large corporation
who has no way OF ascertaining the
financial condition of that CORPORA
tion, except 10y its sworn report to
the board of directors. In tie same
manner the taxpayer desires to
know what has tecn done with the
