spring cleaning.
DR.. Sargentich, the health Of

make the people clean up, but
he has not enough help to do It..

drafted into service and compelled
to assist In ordering the town
cleaned.
The Anti-Compulsory Vaccine
ton society has started a crusade
for a clean Tacoma to eliminate
the source of disease so vaccina-
ton will not be needed.
This morning Mayor Linck de-
clared he would see to 1t that the

card Crane chortled and said to
his friends in Massachusetts,,
"Didn't l tell you? Lodge doesn't
stand ace high in this administra-
ton. That's what took Lodge to
Augusta on the fast train. He said
things to Taft. They were to the
effect that Taft might throw all
the rest of the Roosevelt admins
tration and be BANKED; but he
could not toss Henry Cabot Lodge
and his constituent, Geo. Won
hengerke Meyer. And If he tried
to, his political gore would be up
on his own head. So Taft became
amiable and followed the lines of
least resistance. But having al
ready disposed of the office of
postmaster general he promised
to make Meyer sailor.
r. Meyer is to be secretary of the
navy and command the battle
ships, which will be a new sensa-
ton for him. So far his long
suit has been commanding trust
companies. UP in Massachusetts,
he commands the Amoskeag Man
ufacturing Co., the Amory Co.,
the Old Colony Trust Co., the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce, the
United Electric Security Co., the
Walter Baker Co., the Ames Pillow
Co. and a hunt club. He was born
June "a, 1858. After graduating
from Harvard he began his ca
reer of being trustee. He took the
trusteeship of several libraries and
orphan asylums and then an
nounced himself as a candidate
for alderman.
He served in the Massachusetts,
legislature, was chairman of the
managers of the Paris exposition
board, and contributed the ex-
penses necessary for the republi-
can national campaign commit
tee. He became chairman of the
republican campaign committee.
In 1905 he was made ambassador
to Italy, and after a year or so was
sent to Russia. During the nego-
tiations instituted by President
Roosevelt to bring about peace be-
tween Russia and Japan, Ambas-
sador Meyer crowned his diplo-
matte career by breaking through
the line of grand dukes and actu-
ally getting the ear of the car on
the latter's birthday. This was In
response to a hurry-up wire from
T.. r. The result was the Ports
mouth conference and the peace
of Portsmouth. Meyer has done
yeoman service for the postal saw
ings bank bill, which congress has
prudently GATED at the behest of
the banking trust.

The evenings affair will begin
at z O'Clock with an elaborate
banquet, to be followed by

list of toasts are Hon, T. Tanaka,
Japanese consul; Don w. Bush,

all manner of fun and excitement.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March
1.-THE navy portfolio in Presi-
dent Taft's cabinet Is to be in
charge of Geo. Won Lengerke Mey-
err of Massachusetts. Like Mr..
Wilson, Meyer is a survival of the
Roosevelt cabinet. Also like Will
son, it was Taft's original inten-
ton to toss him into the discard.
The reason Meyer remains, how
ever, is different from that which
applies to the case of Wilson. Mr..
Lodge is responsible for the reten-
ton of Meyer. The political press
tige of Lodge in Massachusetts
made the appointment of Meyer
"a political necessity. Lodge sup
ported Taft against the opposition
of Mr.. Crane. Lodge is coming
up for reelection to the senate be-
fore very long. Lodge is all the
time having to watch Crane and
see that the latter does not take
the top rails off of his political
fences. When it came to the mat
ter of tossing Meyer into the dis
