speak to-day In memory oil tho
death OF little BERTHE A. Yates, who
was born Sept s, 1908, s,departed this
life June 16, 1904, at the age OF y
nine months and eight days. She
was the only child OF John and
Martha Yates, would be glad Of
the gift of the Magi, who are sup
posed to have the power to enchant
with words that stand out like liv-
ing presence ; FOR then might hope
to do justice TO the memory OF lit
tie BERTHE A. Yates, but Lucretius
the ancient philosopher and poet,
tells that things seom to die but die
not. The spring showers melt on
tho bosom OF earth but rise again
In fruits and leaves and flowers
and even death is nothing but a
birth. Then while little Bertha Is
dead to earth she IS born In heaven,
We are glad to think that rest will
come at length, though life be long
and dreary. The day must dawn,
tine night must pass, all journeys
end In welcome to the weary, and
heaven our hoTe will come at last.
Weep not dear parents, tho time Is
coming that you can, as said King
David, go to your child. God bless
the many lrlends Of John and Mar

them during their heart rendlng

not only in justice to the Fiipinos,
but to preserve our own rights: for Il
free people cannot withhold freedom
from another people and themselves
remain free. The toleration of tyranny
over others will soon breed contempt
for freedom and selfgOvernment, and
weaken our power of resistance to in

AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
The pledge Of the platform to secure

race or creed. whether native born or
naturalized, at home and abroad, the
equal protection of the laws and the
enjoyment Of all the rights and privi-
leges open to them under tie covenants
of our treaties, as their just due, should
be made good to them. In the accom-
plishment of that result it is essential
that a passport issued by the Govern

TO ENFORCE CIVIL SERVICE LAW
The statute relating to Civil Service
is the outcome of the efforts of thought

Zens. Operation under it has frequent
~ been of such character as to Of
fend against the spirit of the statute.
but the results achieved, even under a
partial enforcement of the law. have
been such as to both deserve and CON-
mand the utterance of the Democratic
party that it stands committed to the
principle of Civil Service reform and
demands its just and impartial en-
forcement.
