The Blessed Road,

Three roads led out to Calvary
The first was broad and straight.
That Pilot and great Caiaphas
Might ride thereon in state.
The second was the felon's road,
Cruel and hard TO tread
For those who bore the cross's load.
For those whose footsteps hied.
The third road skunk through mean de-
files.
Fearing the open sky:
And Judas crept the dreadful miles
To Calvary thereby.

Was biotted from the .and;

BY thorn-curs drifts of sand.
But that poor road the felons went
How fair il now appears.

And flower-set by their tears

There is healing In his blood.

CITY TO AUCTION
Bremerton to Issue Permits to High
Bidders OF Make License Fee
$3.0OC.

BREMERTON, March 12.-Either
to raise the saloon license to $4,000
Il year or issue the permits to the five
highest bidders is the programme Of
the city council of Bremerton. The
commandant of the navy yard few
days ago notified the city that the
navy department will resent the is
suance of more than five saloon IL
ccl ses. The council several weeks
ago granted seven licenses at 1000
apiece. regardless of an agreement
made by the city and the navy de
partment five years ago that the num-
ber of saloons in Bremerton should
be limited to five.
The purpose Of the council in
granting seven instead of five Ii
quor licenses was to increase the
municipal revenue. On increasing the
number to seven the council also in
creased the license from $1,000 to
$1,000 year.
Fearing that the council might be
charged with discrimination in eli
minating two of the licenses. some
members favor issuing licenses to
the five highest bidders. Others fa-
yor giving licenses to five who are
will 10 pay $4,000 a year.

THE STRIKE GOES ON
PRESIDENT TAFT DECLINES To
INTERFERE AT PHILADELPHIA.
Bankers Say Financial lnfere SIS will

PHILADELPHIA, March 12.-
Two of the four mediums through
which Philadelphia hoped that
strike settlement might be made
were yesterday practically eliminat-
ed. Yesterday it was hoped that
either President Taft, the bankers
of Philadelphia, the National Civic
Federation or the local councilmanic
bodies would find way to lend a
hand to stop the strife.
Today word came from Washing
ton unofficially, but on seemingly
good authority, that the president,
through the department of commerce
and labor, could not see his way clear
to intervene. The reason given was
that the trouble is purely of local
character.
Bankers declare that the financial
interests will probably keep their
hands off the fight.
A telegram was sent today to Seth
Low head of the federation, ask
ing that that body offer mediation.
Mr.. Low replied the federation would
do so if he could be assured the Of
fer would be acceptable to both
sides
