DAUNTLESS WOMAN; SHE NEVER
FAILS WHEN SHE SEES A NEED

ed States army who follow their
husbands to lonely frontier posts
or even to other lands, leaving
home, and friends, and the cul-
ture and conveniences of civiliza-
ton? Are they not everyday
heroines? l know a quiet, gentle
and retiring little woman, the
wife of naval officer, who did a
hop, skip and jump almost
around the world that she might
beat her husband to the different
ports and be there to welcome
him when his ship dropped an
Choir.
All about us, everywhere, are
heroines who, when
the natural breadwinner is i'll or
MANNED, or thrown out of work,
assumed the double responsible
ties of home-keeper and wage
Garner. These women do our
washing, scrub out public build
ings, bend over ironing boards on
sultry days, or stitch busily on
garments for others while their
own children go half clad, in or
der that they and their children
may have a place to sleep and
enough to eat.
Sacrifice is not sacrifice when
Transmitted by love, it becomes a
blessed privilege to give all, and
the only regret is that there is
not more to give.

PLANS RAT TRAP
TWO MILES LONG
SEATTLE HEALTH COMMITS
SION HAS SCHEME TO RID
CITY OF RODENTS.

SEATTLE, Sept. 14.-Giant rat
traps, extending nearly two miles.
to catch waterfront rats, will be
installed by the city department of
health and sanitation, according to
plans under consideration today
by DIR. j. q. Crichton, commission
er of health. This plan is more
economical than former methods,
because 1t requires less attention.
A large v shaped corral will be
built at regular intervals, the
sides OF high wire netting the
opening of the "V" facing the
water and the point extending
back to the rear of the overhang-
ing wharf.
At the point Of the "v" small
opening will give into a barrel
sunk flush with the ground and
covered with a balanced door, so
hinged that 1t will drop the ro-
dents into the barrel beneath.
By means of this pitfall 1t is
hoped to keep the rats well
thined out.

ATLANTA FIGHTING FOR new
FORM OF Government
BY Hugh Allen.

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 14.-At-
lanta is in the throes of charter
making.
This southern city las 1t Is get
ting well under way on the road
to prosperity and progress, follow
ing the new commercial and indus
trial awakening of the south land,
wants to start fresh under a new
form of municipal government.
Atlanta wants to start, carrying
no false weight. 1t is willing to
throw off the old forms, no matter
how hallowed by long usage. If
there is a better form of city gov
lernment anywhere in the country
Atlanta wants it.
A sketch of what Atlanta Is
doing, has been doing, is trying to
do, will be helpful to all students
Of municipal government. Which
means to most everybody who
pays taxes, and who reviles the
poor paving or bad lighting, or in
adequate police protection, or the
corrupt contract letting of his
city.
The first thing that Atlanta de-
cided 1t wanted was a new form
of government to replace the pres
ent form, which was considered
Anticipated. After that it was a
question of how and what.
So after considerable discussion
the city council, composed of two
houses of aldermen, one of Is,
the other of 9 members, voted to
have a charter committee of 40
appointed to draw up q new plan
Iof government. One Robt. F.
Maddox was mayor of the city. He
was young banker, known as a
wit and brilliant speaker, who
had left promising business
career because he thought he could
help his city.
So Mayor Maddox named his
committee-49 representative cit
liens. AS the committee of 40 got
under way, it was apparent that
there were two groups of opinions.
IOne part of the committee wanted
the straight commission govern
Iment which was being tried out
in Des Moines and many western
cities. Others represented a wider
range of opinions. 1t was soon
seen to be a case of the commits
sion government against the field.
So two subcommittee of the
larger one were named. One, COM
posed of ardent advocates of the
commission scheme, was to draw
up plans along that line. The sec
ond subcommittee was to develop
some different plan.
Both committees went hard to
work. Each entered into extensive
correspondence around the coun-
try. Each drew up a plan. Joint
debates were arranged between
the advocates of the two plans. Big
speakers from around the country
who were in favor of one plan or
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-09-14

the other were brought to At
lanta to debate the question.
In the end a compromise was
adopted by the committee of 40. A
charter was drawn up represent
ing part of both systems, the old
and the new. In this shape the
plan was sent back to the common
council. The council is taking the
matter under advisement until the
middle of September. After that
it must go to the people for rati-
,fication.
The plan as 1t stands now pro-
vides for an elective mayor and
an elective commission Of six men,
who shall take over the legislative
and executive powers of the city.
Each commissioner shall be at the
head Of one of the big city depart
ments. Each shall be held respon-
sible to the rest Of the commission
and to the city for faithful per-
Torrance of his duties.
To insure this latter the charter,
as now drawn, includes the right
to recall unfaithful officials. This
is the newest wrinkle In municipal
reform, and Atlanta wants it.
"The best thing about the whole
question" Mayor Maddox told me
"is the interest that the people are
taking in it. 1t is healthful sign
when people discuss the matter
and argue over 1t and think over
it. 1t shows they are concerned
about this vital matter, that they
are alive and thinking, that they
are not indifferent.
I'VE know that the best charter
in the world will not make per-
feet governmental conditions. It's
only a vehicle for the people to
express themselves. But we want
good vehicle.

AT THE PANTAGEs.

The new bill at the Pantages
is one of the most varied and de-
lightful seen at that theater for
many weeks. While the three
daring cyclists are the headliners,
the Doric Trio Of three men with
excellent voices perhaps proved
the most popular with yesterday
audiences. These men render a
series of beautiful songs in very
pleasing style and their voices
mingle perfectly. They were .e-
peatedly encored by the audience
last night.
1.-The Three Deamons" present
one of the most daring of cycling
acts. A suspended platform re-
wolves at terrific speed and upon
this the cyclists ride. II thay

they would be hurled to the stage.
Mazda and company have a
novel little act, beautifully staged
and costumed. They are clever
performers and their illusions are
quite startling.
Sutherland and Curtiss appear
in delightful and novel singing,
dancing and talking act. Both
are clever and versatile entertain
ers.
Markee brothers are musicians
of exceptional ability and Justice

acceptable playlet which is set in
Russia.

Heroism is a commonplace fem
mime trait. The simplest woman,
the most selfish and ordinary girl
is apt to turn out heroine if &C.
casion offers.
Behind our little weaknesses
there seems to lie a reservoir of
livine strength from which we may
draw at need. And so we have
the spectacle of a weak, delicate
woman, who instinctively shrinks
from pain, giving her life for her
child, or dying on the scaffold for
an idea.
If Carnegie medals were given
to all the heroines in the world
every second woman would be
wearing one. For 1t is not along
the great deeds of history that
demonstrate the heroic spirit. but
the countless renunciations, hard
ships borne bravely, and the sac
rifices of everyday life.
The women who barred their
white necks to the keen blade OF
the guillotine during the Reign OF
Terror, dying in place of husband
or lover, OF, where that was i'm
possible, sharing their fate, were
one in spirit with the wives and
mothers who today give theil
lives for the comfort and happi.
ness of their families.
If anything, the commonplace
heroine deserves the greater
praise.
1t is comparatively easy to die
inspired by great idea, uplifted
by the example of others, but not
SO easy to give health and
strength, the unfailing patience
and the incessant toll required by
growing children and a struggling
husband who has neither the time
nor inclination to stop and ap-
plaud ones performance.
Among all the examples of he
role women with which the pages
Of history are frightened, there
is one, almost too recent to be
called historical, but nevertheless
very illuminating. Luhia Hulapa
a pretty Hawaiian woman, is the
heroine. Educated in a mission
school, she married one of her
fellow students, Lui Hulapa. He
fell victim to leprosy and was
sent to the leper colony on the
island of Molokai.
Rather than be separated from
her husband, Luhia obtained the

she probably never thought of life
in q ieper colony as sacrifice

ARRESTED HERE
FOR SEATTLE
ROBBERY

Charles Emory was arrested
last night by Captain Fitzgerald
on the charge of having entered
into a conspiracy with one Fish
er, a son of a wealthy family in
Seattle, to rob the latter's home.
Fisher was arrested in Seattle.
1t is alleged that the three left
Tacoma about two weeks ago and
drove up to the home of the Sc
attic man and proceeded to get
away with whatever jewelry they
could lay hands on, part of which
has been pawned In Tacoma.
Emory had Just returned from
Portland when arrested. He was
turned over to a Seattle detec-
tive.

AT THE GRAND.

All the features of a high-class
minstrel show are embodied in the
act of Hall Il Stark's miniature
minstrel mimics at the Grand.
This is a pretentious production
and several of the cast are wor-
thy Of better possibilities. The
scenic effect In the last act Is
beautiful.
The Five Merry McGragors
compose an artistic troup of sing
ers. "a Breeze From Bonnie
Scotland" is the title of their act
and it is decidedly breezy one.
Their rendition of old favorites
was enthusiastically received and
the singing throughout was beau
tiful. A novel little plot running
through the act helps to make 1t
more delightful and interesting.
Sharp and Turek are somewhat
better than the ordinary singing
and dancing couple. Miss Turek
is a clever and dainty little dancer
and the feature Is a pleasing one.
Modena and Gardner present an
interesting little playlet entitled
"A Lesson in Reform" The act
ing of Miss Modena is especially
pleasing.
Flo Patterson, singer OF
Southern melodies, was encored
time after time last night. She
only sings a few selections but
those take well. She is an orig
inal and pleasing performer.

Saturdays Big RsinStOrm

The heaviest rainstorm Of the season
visited Eureka and vicinity last Satur'
day, which continued during nearly all
of that night. While the downpour
was heavy in this section, no material
damage was lone outside of washing
away portions of the roads leading to
Secret Canyon. Pinto and the Windfall
mine. The force of the storm. how
ever, was felt on the other side Of Pinto
summit. about nine miles south OF Eu-
reka. II is said a body of water so feet
wide and six feet deep swept through
Pinto Canyon that day, carrying away
a couple of bridges on the county road
in that section. besides damaging the
thoroughfare 10 many places.
Had the force of the storm broke on
this side of the summit, and the large
volume of water passed through Eure-
ka, the chances are the damage to
property would have been very great.
A force OF men was sent u from Eu-
reka and the necessary repairs are being
made t the roads and bridges.
