 sons in Rhode Island City.

their tiny hands with delight, threw
kisses to their waxen hostesses and
called to them in endearing terms. 1t

DRIVES
WIDOW FROM HER HOME

Many hard luck stories are heard by
Mayor Alexander every day, but none
has touched him as strongly as a let
ter he received yesterday from Mrs.
Dolores Vidal, 626 Mission road.
Mission road has been recently i'm
proved at the expense of the property
owners, and the assessment against Mrs.
Vidal for her share of the Improvement
was $478.15. She is a widow with two
young daughters, who earn small
amount, and that is all the income she
has. She owned her little home, and
by the wages of her two daughters
managed to keep the wolf from the
door. But the assessment of $47S.15
was more than she could raise. She
went to bankers, building associations
and money lenders to mortgage her
home to pay the assessment, but none
would let her. have that much money.
She then offered the little place for
sale, but has been unable to get more
than the bare amount Of the assessment
for it,
The lien on the place has been sold
for $512.18 and she does not know what
to do.
Unless some timely assistance reaches
her she will have to give up her home
and move out without a cent OF rec
ompense.a
The mayor is contemplating asking
the council II it cannot do something
in the matter but similar cases have
been presented to the council before,
and in each one the city attorney has
ruled that there is an inexorable law
that will not permit the council to re-
NIT the assessment, and If the council
should set the precedent Of paying the
assessment out of city funds from mere
charity it might as well surrender the
city treasury or stop all street trp-
provement.

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK
Food Eaten Is worthless Unless Digested
Some stomachs Must ave Help

Food taken into the stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the con-
dition of the stomach, is not digested,
is worse than no food at all. This is
a true statement as far as it goes and
a great many dyspeptics go only this
far with their reasoning. They argue
with themselves that because their
stomachs do not do the work given,
they must be given less work; in other
words. they must be starved. 1t would
be Just as sensible for a business man
who Is unable to do all his own work
10 cut down his business to his own
capacity as it is for a man to starve
himself to relieve his stomach. The
sensible business man employs help
and goes forward with his business.
Likewise the sensible dyspeptic will
employ help for his stomach and give
his body proper nourishment
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburdened stom-
achs of a great portion of digestive
action. Their component parts are
identical with those of the digestive
fluids and secretions Of the stomach
and they simply take up the grind and
carry on the work just the same as
a good, strong, healthy stomach would
do it.
On this account Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance
in the stomach or bowels. They them
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tanned in what is eaten and carry out
Natures plans for the sustenance and
maintenance Of the body.
How much more sensible is this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs. BY
this means the body and brain get all
the good, nutritious food they need
and the man is properly nourished and
equipped to carry on his work and per-
form his duties. He could not possibly
be in proper working condition by starV-
ing himself or employing some new fam
gled, insufficient food that does not
contain enough nutriment for year
old baby. A strong man doing strong
work must be properly fed and this
applies to the brain as we'll as the body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. by re-
lieVing the stomach Of its work, enable
1t to recuperate and regain its normal
health and strength. Nature repairs
the worn and wasted tissues just as
she heals and knits the bone of
broken limb, which Is Of course not
used during the process Of repair.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggigsts at so cents a
box and they are the one article that
the druggist does not try to sell some
thing in the place of that's Just as
good" Their unqualified merit and
success and the universal demand for
them has placed them within the reach
Of every one.

CONREY EXPLAINS
CITY LAW SYSTEM
Judge of Superior Court Delivers
Address on Party Influence
in Administration

Judge N. p. Conrey of the superior
court of Los Angeles county and Gen.
John C. Black. president of the national
civil service commission, yesterday fur
nished two OF the best addresses the
City club has heard for weeks. Judge
Conrey spoke on the Limitations or
Party Government" and General Black,
who was special guest, indorsed all
that Judge Conrey said and declared
national, state and municipal civil SER
vice was the remedy for the evils the
Judge mentioned.
Judge Conrey stated that parties had
existed in every form of government,
even in those where absolute despotism
prevailed. lie declared political parties
were necessary as the channel through
which the will Of the people could be
expressed.
6But while political parties are an
established and useful necessity in the
conduct Of political affairs, it does not
follow that one and the same party
shall be in control of all public affairs,
both great and small, or that the inf1u-
ence of a party shall be equally potent
in the nation at large and in every To-
oality thereof" continued the speaker.
NATIONAL PARTY INFLUENCES
"The first form of the question as it
suggests itself may be stated thus:
Are national parties necessary to the
proper administration of city and coun-
ty governments? or, to put it in an
other way, is it necessary that the or
ganization and political powers of ma
tional party shall be maintained in the
local affairs of every state, county and
city in the Union? Or, if 1t be admitted
that such necessity does exist in any
degree, then where should the line Of
division fall between the jurisdiction of
national parties and of those that are
merely local?
1--WE have learned that municipal and
other governments do not require the
assistance of national parties for their
proper administration. for a municipal
party Is useless unless It be directly

GOOD GOVERNMENT LOYALTY
while the intelligent men concede
the value of parties when rightly
used as instrumentalities of popular
government, the principle is now also
more clearly recognized than for a
time it was, that loyalty to the cause
of good government stands enshrined
behind a sacred altar far above the
level of party organizations. The
great names in our national history
are the names of men who were
strong in their parties, but their
lasting fame whereby they hold their
place in the heart of the nation was
earned by services and by conduct
for the benefit of the whole people
and not for any faction thereof.
I'm conclusion let me say that with
respect to the question of government
by party, truth and wisdom in the
application of truth must be found
somewhere between the two extremes
of opinion. On the one hand, party
organization must be maintained;
and on the other hand, the independ-
ence of the citizen cannot be sup
pressed. Liberty of thought and ac-
tion are essential to the life of a
party, just as much as they are es-
sential to the life of government"
ADDRESS OF GENERAL BLACK
General Black heartily indorsed all
that the previous speaker had said and
declared that civil service in all the
branches of government would go far
toward correcting the evils arising
from party domination.
Party control springs from the de-
sire of men to WELD great fortunes and
great power" said General Black.
But this is only possible because the
party in power controls the spoils of
office The government itself has been
imperiled by this contest for party
spoil. One OF two ways exists to get
rid of this question. Either to change
human nature. and you know how i'm
possible that is, or take away the mo-
tive and the temptation, and that is
the great object of civil service re-
form.
There are three essential steps in
civil service reform. The first is that
preferment in the public employ is not
due to a party badge, but to the merit
of the individual alone; the second,
that no favoritism is to be shown,
but every American shall start in the
race under the same condition, and
the third, he shall advance in accord
ance with his own deserts and not his
political influence When the principle
of civil service reform has been adopt
ed to It's utmost extent, then if party
goes up or down it will depend not on
the spoils of office but whether the
policies are such as to advance the
public welfare"
