'THIS is MY S3RD BIRTHDAY"
Baron Lister.

Lord Lister, known the world over
as the reformer of surgery, was born
near London, April 5, 1927, and re-
ceived his medical education at Uni
versity College. His best lessons in
operative surgery were learned I'M
der the great Liston. He was house
surgeon in the famous hospital at
Edinburg under Professor Syme. In
1850 he was made regius professor
of surgery in the University of Glas-
Cow, and it was while engaged thus
that he developed his researches on
antisepsis, method that revolution
lied the practice Of surgery all over
the world. In 1869 he succeeded
Syme as professor of clinical sur
gerry, and ten years later removed to
London to fill like chair in King S
College. In 1901 he was appointed
surgeon to the King. He was Gre
ated a baronet in 1888 and baron
in 1897. Lord Lister has also re-
ceived degrees from the universities
of Oxford, Cambridge, Dublin, Ejin-
burgh and Glasgow, and has the
freedom of the city of London. He
has served as president Of the Royal
Society and of the British Associa-
ton for the Promotion of Science.

COMMISSION PLAN FOR SMALLER
CITIES.

Under the law providing for the
classification of cities in this state,
a city when it attains a population
of 10000 may enter the second class
list. It is probable that the forthcom-
ing census will show that several
cities of the state are eligible to enter
that classification. While entrance
upon that classification gives more
freedom of action, it also imposes ad-
ditional burdens in the way of higher
salaries for municipal officials.
Since the commission plan of mu-
nicipal government has come into
vogue, some of the smaller munich
palities are considering the advisable
ity of adopting that system rather
than advance to the second grade. In
all larger cities where the expedient
has been tried, the results have been
most satisfactory. Waste, 1nefticiency
and graft have been largely eliminat-
ed, with the result that money ex-
pended shows tangible evidence in I'M
proved streets, clean alleys, sewer eX-
tensions beautiful parks, through jul
dicious expenditure and unrestricted
authority.
The ward system of municipal gov
eminent is generally recognized as
the most inefficient ever devised for
the government of city. Petty
politics, chickering's, working al
cross purposes, following the rule OF
the boss, giving rise to the existence
of a System" worked by small bore
politicians. is the history OF the
clumsy adaptation of our national
nlan to the government OF munich
palities. II the commission system
works we'll for the government OF
larger municipalities, there is nc
good reason why it should not work
equally we'll for the government OF
smaller ones. If North Yakima OF
Olympia should decide to adopt the
commission system, their experience
under it would be eagerly watched
by the smaller cities Of the state
City Attorney Allen Of North Yaki'
ma, who is leading movement FOL
the adoption of the commission form
is confident that a saving of $4,000
annually can be made to the city
under it. There is ample ground to
iustify his contention for the reason
that good business judgment is the
chief requisite in municipal admins
tration, and three or four men spe'
cializing in separate departments
can accomplish more than a council
which considers its duties a side Is
sue chiefly.

GOOD REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE.

It is significant tina the first re-
publican state convention that was
held this year did not endorse the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law. The 1ndi=
ana state convention did, however,
90 on record as affirming that the
scale of tariff duties should be de-
termined between the cost OF pro-
duction here and that of production
abroad. This position is in harmony
with the prediction promises OF the
republican party and will commend
itself to voters of the rank and ME
of the republican party. This is the
correct republican doctrine and the
progressive republicans who fought
for the principle in the 61st con-
sress are the ones who will not be
under the necessity of explaining
their vote when they come before the
nuhIic for endorsement for reelection
Nv making the tariff rates depend
on the difference between the cost OF
production at home and abroad, the
republican doctrine of protection 1:

forced to contribute to the main
tenance of trusts and to purchas'

Concert Promenade.

The ladies of st. Joseph's church
are making great preparations for
the concert promenade tomorrow
night, Thursday, April 7, at s O'Clock
at the Commercial Club. The pro-
gram will consist of vocal and instru-
mental selections, to be followed by
a ball at the close of the musical.
This is something new, giving both
the old and the young chance to
enjoy themselves ana also give those
who have not already had an occa-
sion to view the magnificent recep-
ton hall, rest rooms and auditorium
of the building. The Catholic ladies
have had all of their dances an en-
tertainments very popular. They
have been so well attended that it has
been necessary for them to engage
larger hall so as to enable them to
entertain their guests with more ease.
A reception and introduction and
floor committee has been appointed
and there are great many people
who never attend a ball that will
take great pleasure in remaining an
hour or more after the concert to
watch those who enjoy dancing.

The business of the church is not
to pity men. The business OF the
church is not to rescue them from
their suffering by the mere means
of material relief or even by the
means of spiritual reinsurance. The
church cannot afford to pity men
because it knows that men, If they
would take it, have the richest and
completest inheritance that it is
possible to conceive, and that, rather
than being deserving of pity, they
are to be challenged to assert in
themselves those things which will
make them independent of pity.
! No man who has recovered the
integrity of his soul is any longer
the object of pity. and it is to en-
able him to recover that lost integ-
rity that the Christian church is
| organized. To my thinking, the
Christian church stands at the CEN
ter, not only of philanthropy, but at
the center of education, at the CEN
ter of science, at the center of phil
osophy, at the center of politics-in
short, at the center of sentiment and
thinking life And the business OF
| the Christian church, of the Chris
tian minister, is to show the spiritual
relations of men to the greater world
processes, whether they be physical
or spiritual. 1t Is nothing less than
| to show the plan of life and mems
relations to the plan of life.-Pres1-
dent Woodrow Wilson.
