NEWSPAPER WOMEN ARE
DISGUSTED BY BULL FIGHT
Chicago Girls Say Spectacle at Tia
Juana Sunday Was Exhibition
~S

mo more bull fights for us, thank
you," was the expression with which
Miss Anne Pinch and Louella Conley,
the two young Chicago newspaper wo-
men who are making a trip around the
world, expressed their dislike for the
Spanish sport.
'It seems to me that for women to
fight bulls is absolutely abnormal, but
the spectacle would not have been so
disgusting If the killing had been done
in a skillful manner, but those so-called
bull fighters hacked and thrust at the
animals until the poor creatures bled
to death. But the women, or rather
girls. for none of the six that fought
was over 10 years old, were tossed about
by the bulls until we thought that
surely they would be killed, but they
didn't seem to mind it very much"
The newspaper women leave tonight
on the Owl for San Francisco, where
they will remain about week, from
there proceeding to Japan, then to the
Philippines, thence to Borneo, Austria
liza, New Zealand, India and China.

Oppose Widening Street

The proposition to widen Sixteenth
street from Normandie avenue to Ar
lington brought out vigorous protest
from some of the property owners along
the line Of the proposed improvement.
The objection is chiefly to the assess
ment district, which takes in about
three blocks west of Western avenue
that has already been widened and i'm
proved by private contract and at the
expense of the property owners. The
protest was denied.
Health Officer Powers recommended
that an ordinance be adopted prohibit
ing merry -go-rounds in densely popu-
lated sections. He stated that one of
these machines was maintained in the
neighborhood of Washington AMI
Vargas streets and that in that COM
munity there are several cases of sick
ness, and the recovery Of the patients is
retarded by the monotonous grind of
music" from the attached organ. City
Attorney Mathews had prepared an or
dinance which prohibits the main
tenance of a merry-go-round within 300
feet of dwelling. The ordinance was
adopted.

POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT Foshay Receives Nu-

Be Students of Mechanics

The boys and girls who enter the
polytechnic high school may have
classmates many years past the school
age. "a.
For many days Prof. Foshay and
Principal Francis have been receiving
applications from persons more than
21 years of age. The requests have be-
come so numerous, especially from men
wanting to take one of the mechanical
courses, that the department has de-
cided to charge fee of $3.50 month
for tuition. The fee is 81 a month more
than the charge for nonresident

ABOLISH SIXTH AND CREATE
FOURTEENTH
CHILDREN LOSE TEACHERS
Numerous Boundary Lines Reformed,
Confusing Parents and Scholars.
Greater Conveniences Are
Promised by Board
awsere shall we go to school?"

''where shall we go to school?"
From early morning until late at
night the school board is besieged with
this question.
The abolition of the Sixth street dis
trict occasioned by the sale of the
school site has necessitated several
changes in the various boundary lines
of the districts and news of the change
has been rumored abroad, with the
result that anxious parents and equally
anxious children have worked them
selves into more than mild state of
excitement.
The school department is forced to
bear the brunt of it all. Parents have
begun to fear that perhaps their chill
dren will have to walk longer dis
tance to school and children have al
ready begun to mourn the loss of a
much loved teacher, with the result
that telephone wires in the department
offices have been kept busy.
There are many changes in the dis
tricts but the members of the board
declare that the new plan Of districting
will be more convenient for all.
New District Boundaries
A new district has been formed to be
known as the Fourteenth street school
district. 1t is bounded on the north by

East Twelfth street, 1101 and HOP East
Eleventh street, 924 East Tenth street
by Tenth street to Central avenue, and
by Central avenue to Sixth street, and
that the boundary lines of adjoining
districts be changed to conform
thereto.

district has been changed to First
street, and the southern boundary to
Sixth street. The advanced pupils in
this district, living west of San Pedro
street will be required to attend Olive
street school, and those living east of

street school.

street and Central avenue.

Britt went at him like demon and

him. and once with Judge Parker. with a
portion of Wall street for him, might by
1905 decide to try a successful man OF al
fairs, whose candidacy would cause no
alarm in any quarter. The thing for Mr..
Douglas to do was to give the state of
Massachusetts good administration.
strengthen his party at home in every way,
in that manner secure second and even a
third term. and then await the turn of the
national wheel.
According to this suggestion, the strength
ening of the party meant the strengthening
of the machine by turning over to the party
managers all the patronage at the gov
ernor's bestowal Let them be consulted
about appointments, and let their recon-
mendations prevail. But when Mr.. Doug
las became Gov. Douglas he showed a
spirit of his own, and has since been pursu-
ing a course of his own. He seems anX-
ious enough to give the state a good adj
ministration. but IN some of his appoint
ments is making his own selections. This
is very displeasing to the party managers.
and they are rather outspoken about it.
The furry may count for nothing In the
matter of the denomination. but will 1t
show later in the race for reelection? If
Gov. Douglas fails of a second term he will
disappear of course from the political equa-
ton.

Roosevelt and Parker.

If the social and the political clubs of
Chicago now endeavoring TO secure both
Mr.. Roosevelt and Judge Parker for guests
at their May dinners succeed, the country
will be more interested than it was in the
recent Jefferson dinner. Before Judge
Parker became his party's nominee for
President his relations with Mr. Roosevelt
were very cordial The two men had met
at Albany while the one governor of
the state and the other chief justice. They
liked each other, took horseback rides to-
gether and were chummy. The first visit
ors at Esopus after the st. Louis conven-
ton saw a photograph of Mr.. Roosevelt
in a conspicuous place in Judge Parker S
library. But as the campaign warmed up
Judge Parker was betrayed into charges
about the republican management and the
trusts, and Mr.. Roosevelt provoked into a
reply, which left a bad taste in the mouth
of each Otherwise we should probably
have seen Judge Parker at the inaugural
ceremonies last month playing the graceful
part which Gen. Hancock played in March,
1881. when his successful competitor entered
the White House. But 1t is time to cancel
old differences and one could wish to see
these two men shake hands at table and
renew their former intimacy.

A Civil Service Absurdity.

Does not this little difficulty over the ap-
pointment of a coachman for Secretary
Shaw indicate that the civil service rules
have been extended too far? Just why the
drivers for cabinet officers should be CLASH
fed under the merit system is a mystery
They are skilled men, to be sure, and the
safety of the officers of the government de-
ponds in large measure upon their ability.
But it is gravely to be doubted whether
the competitive examination system of the
civil service organization is calculated to
satisfactorily test their driving abilities and
their Craftsmanship.
The civil service system is a good thing,
so good that it's best friends fear to see 1t
made ridiculous by improper application.
There has been tendency of late years to
carry it beyond the limits of practical eff
cheney a safeguard against partisan ap-
pointments. Pretty much everything under
the government is now civil-serviceized A
man cannot be named as common laborer
in a navy yard without passing COMPETE
tive examination. To the extent that these
examinations are addressed to the discovery
OF the personal fitness of the applicant for
his particular job. this is well. But it is
TO be feared that in some cases the desire
to elevate the government service intel
lectually tends to inject academic elements
into the tests.
There need be little fear that a cabinet
officer would ever yield sufficiently before
political pressure to appoint an unsafe man
as coach driver. He might safely be
trusted 10 pick and choose without the in
tervention of the merit system and with
out endangering the foundations of the gov
eminent or his own bones.
Those who are most deeply interested in
the already demonstrated success of the
civil service reform, which has become a
permanent feature of the federal admins
tration, deplore such excuses. They tend
TO bring a praiseworthy, necessary method
or selecting public servants into disrepute
with certain classes of people. who judge
only by the exceptions and the absurdities
and not by the great mass of valuable re-
suits.
