CIVIL SERVICE A COMPLETE
FARCE.

Appointing officers in the state
government may remove emp Dyes
at their pleasure, and the civil
service commission is practically
powerless to prevent it; nor can
the commission hold hearings to
determine the fact in relation to a
dismissal. All that is necessary for
an appointing Office to do in order
to rid himself of an undesirable en-
ploye, is to file with the civil SER
vice commission statement setting
fourth that the employe is dismiss
ed for sufficient reasons other than
political or religious. If these rea-
sons, on their face, are sufficient
the dismissed employe has no re-
course through the commission,
but will have to bring mandamus
action in the courts. This is the
effect of the civil service law as set
forth in an official opinion by
Attorney General Sturdevant in
reply to a request from E. F. Doty,
secretary of the civil service COM
mission. The request came about
by reason Of the inquiries that were
made to the commission by en-
ployes and by present and prospec-
tive appointing officers as to the
power of appointing officers to make
removals, and as to the rights of
the employees so removed to pro-
test and as to the power or duty of

The man who makes money in a
community has duty to perform
to that community. It may be
that he has made his money by his
superior business ability, and that
he would have done as we'll any
where. That does not alter the
case. If his gifts are great his
responsibility is equally great. No
man was placed on earth for the
sole purpose of making money, and
the man who has this as his idea
had better never have been born.
1t is not an act of charity, but the
performance of simple duty for
the man who has made the money
to pass a little of it on for the bene-
fit of the community, even though
he never expects to see a dollar of
his contribution back.

To bring up a child in the way he
should 60, travel that way your
self. Stones first heard at moth
er's knee are never wholly forgotten;
little spring that never dries up
on our journey through scorching
years. The sooner you get child
to be law unto himself, the sooner
you make man of him. Children
need models more than criticism.
We can never check what is in the
young unless we cherish what is
good in them.

The farmer bends his knee to

Some time before he died the

That was a grand example of

The annual session of the school of
artisans held at the college >of engin-

in which are given courses in all de-

suit of the opportunity to win a

paw all their expenses, a number of
students will supplement their CORES

SURE Of ONE BID
FOR FRANCHISE
SEVENTH STREET RAILWAY
WILL BE BUILT
BusnesssMen and Residents Prepared
to Begin Construction Of Electric
Road on Getting Proper
Permission

The last bolt of red tape that en-
twines all franchises is being unwound
in the case of the Seventh street fran
chise extending east through Boyle
Heights to the city limits and July 25
the city council will open bids for the
franchise.
That at least one bid will be received
is assured The council advertised for
the street railway franchise at the
solicitation of number of business
men on the east side of the city, who
purpose to buy the franchise build the
tracks and operate the line themselves.
If Huntington or any other street rail-
way interest wants the franchise more
than do these business men, they are
cordially invited to step in and bid
higher TOR the privilege, 1t is said. The
promoters of the enterprise do not
want the franchise. They want the
street railway
The right of way will be from the
corner of Seventh street and Broad
way, east on Seventh to Boyle avenue,
south on Boyle avenue to Hollenbeck
and east on Hollenbeck to the city
limits.
The new line will give ready access
to part of the city where the trans
portation facilities are now poor. At
one place on the line there is a school
direction from a street car and this
works a hardship on the children at
tending the institution.
For the present the promoters of the
plan will be content with connecting
the line with the Stephenson avenue
railway but the intention is ultimately
to extend the car line to the eastern
city limits.
Is Kern's Pet
When the franchise Is granted and
the construction of the road is begun,
Councilman Kern of the Seventh ward.
which will be largely affected by the
new line, will feel that he has not held
his place in the city council for nothing,
This street car line has been the pet
project of Councilman Kern for the
last three years. Since he has been in
the council he has labored with the
street railway magnates to induce them
to accept franchise along the same
line that 1t is planned to construct the
proposed road, but all have turned deaf
ears to his entreaties
Several months ago, in desperation,
he induced the council to advertise the
franchise for sale. The council adver-
tised and spent much money in antici-
patton that some railway company
would seek the franchise, but when the
day came for opening bids there were
none to open.

Join With Pupils in Effort to
Make the Play
Success

The students of the Polytechnic high
school have for the past few weeks
been rehearsing a two-act comedy to
take the place of the regular gradua-
ton exercises. The Polytechnic school
was opened September 25. 1905, and it's
first year will be completed Friday,
June 29, 1906. On account of the school
being so newly organized it was found
Impossible to turn out a graduating
class this year. Still the first year
Will not close without some observance
The members of the faculty and some
of the students decided to prepare a
comedy.
The comedy, which is entitled "Pol-
ly's Rivals" will be presented on the
stage of the school auditorium Thurs
day evening, June 2S. The board of
education has had the stage rushed to
completion and it is now we'll fitted
up with theatrical scenery, footlights
and curtains. The auditorium has been
prettily decorated and will be iIlum-
mated with hundreds of incandescent
lights.
Ideas for the scenery were originated
by George T. Winterbern, who has
charge of the art department of the
school and completed by the artist,
Carl Borg.
Work Hard for Success
The play has been conducted by Miss
Kate Smith and Mrs. Gertrude Parsons,
both members OF the faculty. Mrs
Parsons has managed all the rehearsals
and has also arranged the music She
has devoted large portion of her time
10 making the comedy a success.
Perhaps one of the most attractive
features OF the comedy will be the
Spanish dancing. The six dancers
have been thoroughly trained by Miss
Norma Gould.
