We had the pleasure Of hearing this
distinguished orator recently when the
"Old and New" was his theme. For
grace Of manners, charm Of diction,
glow Of rhetoric, gems Of genuine eio-
quence we have never heard his SUI
perior. We trust that arrangements
may be made whereby the students
Of the Normal and our people gene
rally may be permitted to listen to
this peerless Southern speaker. We
are specially anxious that the girls
shall hear his discussion Of the New

Dear Sir: You are a teacher; here's
one Of your boys:
II the painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint, and one
paint goes twice as far as another, how
much are those two paints WORTH
If DevOe is worth 81 80 or Sl.75 cents
a gallon, how much is the other one
worth?
How much is gallon Of paint worth
anyhow?
The answer is: Depends on the paint.
The reason is: Paint isn't always
paint. There are true and false paint
and shOrt-measure.
How much is a shOrt-measure gallon
worth? How much is false paints
worth? How much is Devoe worth?
There are millions year in the an

CIVIL SERVICE
Effort of Administration to
Override Law Is De-
feated.

The effort made by the Schmitz Elec-
ton Commission to defeat the civil ser
vice provisions of the charter has met
with final defeat in Judge Seawelfs de-
partment of the Superior Court.
Prior to the election of 1904 the Elec-
ton Commission, ignoring the charter.
appointed a number of deputy regis
trars, making no application for the
certifcation OF the same by the Civil
Service Commission When the war
rants for the payment of the so-called
deputies salaries reached Auditor
Baehr he refused to pass them The re-
suit was that all of the claims were as
signed to Henry NJ. Shaw, one of the
number, and upon them he filed suit for
a writ of mandate to compel the Audi
tor to warrant their payment. Judg-
ment against Shaw was entered by
Judge Seawell yesterday, however, with
the result that the city has. profited
financially through the effort of the ad-
ministration to override the law. In
part, Judge Seawell says:
1t is claimed on the part OF plaintiff that
the provision in section 4. chapter l.. article

SUPERVISORS
GET SETBACK
City Attorney Says Bill to
Authorize Expenditure of
Building Fund Is Illegal

City Attorney Long yesterday filed
an opinion with the Board Of Super
visors that gives it setback IN the
framing and passing of an ordinance
providing for the manner OF
authorizing expenditures from the
has once been passed and was
vetoed by the Mayor. The Supervisors
then referred it to the City Attorney
for an opinion as to its validity. In
the first place the City Attorney says
that tho ordinance is in direct oppo-
sition to the charter and therefore
void, and, secondly, he holds that its
aim Is to give to the Board OF Super
visors power that rightfully belongs
to the Board of Public Works. The
wording of the opinion is in no way
obscure, and the board is advised that
its passage will be illegal.
In addition to regulating the expen-
ditures the bill is framed to prescribe
conditions under which the expendi-
lures may be made, and requires sub
mission of plans and specifications TO
jury of award appointed by the su-
peryisors After accepting the plans
and providing for the payment, the su-
pervisors then will submit them to the
Board of Works, which will be re-
o,,fred to- report back to the Supervts-
ors with an estimate of the cost of con-
struction.
In comment the City Attorney says
that 'it is manifest that II is designed
to secure plans of municipal buildings
required by various departments
through the medium of the advertise
ments of the Board of Supervisors and
passed upon by jury OF award ap-
pointed by that board and holding at
its pleasure" He further says tnat
provisions having been made In the
charter for the preparation OF such
plans bx the Board of Public Works,
any ordinance attempting any change
in the procedure prescribed therefor
must be regarded as in conflict
Regarding the appointment or crea-
ton of the ONCE Of supervising arch1-
tect, the City Attorney says that the
Supervisors cannot create sucn once
and allow the incumbent any compen-
sation for doing work required by the
Roard of Works.
