of the commissioners are respon-
sible to the people for their sew
eral departments? They are sup
posed to run such department
with as much economy as in their
best judgment will be to the best
advantage for the city.
No doubt the mayor can hire
cheap civil engineers. also book
keepers. at less money, but are
they the kind OF help any good
bushes man would hire to conduct
a business where millions are in
volved? I don't think they are.
We might go little further.
We could get men to act as mayor
for $1,000 per year, but do we
want those kind of men for
mayor. l don't think we do.
The trainers of our present
charter set the wages of the sew
eral commissioners at fair
figure. so it would be possible to
get good men. Now let them pay
a fair wage and make their help
make good, which the people of
Tacoma have no doubt they will.

Tacoma, June 1, 1910

Tacoma, June /, 1910.
To the Editor of the Times:
Some two months ago the city
council passed an ordinance pro-
hibiting saloons from acting as
employment agents, also abolish
ing the use of blackboards in Sa-
looms. notice that under the
new commission government the
Congress saloon has put the
blackboard back on the wall and
are acting as an employment
agency and posting the work on
the board.
This is done in order to draw
trade and keep men a loafing
around their place of business.
Has the new commission the
right to abolish the blackboard
ordinance? Mr.. Burns, business
agent for the Tacoma Central La
Dor Council. was ordered by the
Council to have the blackboards
taken out Of the saloons. He
went before the police and license
committee and then before the
city council. and was successful in
having them removed.
also would like to call your
attention to the fact that there
are saloons on Pacific avenue
which took the blackboards out,
and up to date they are still out.
Your paper has accomplished a
great deal of good for the people
Of Tacoma, and I believe If you
lake up this matter and give 1t
space in your paper you will be
able to do good for the working
man who does not make a prac-
tice of loafing around in saloons.
Yours truly,
A LoNGSHOREMAN.

With the buckwheat takes its

And melancholy biscuits
Are passed from hand to hand /;
What trial 1t is a-boarding,
How the soul is made destrait,
To hear the gravy splatter

Every COB of greasy substance
Makes an unctuous sort of lake,
With an island in the middle
A tiny piece OF steak;
And thousand dismal fancies
Steel our hearts to hate,
As we listen to the splatter
OF the gravy on the plate.

How good food appeals;

And mourning at my fate.
That makes me curse the splatter

HOW TO RUN A BOARDING HOUSE

Cultivate an iron constitution
and nerves of steel, and wear a
rusty black bonnet.
Study each guests needs.
Don't put more on his plate than
he needs.
Jealousy between boarders can
be avoided by having nothing but
homely mattresses.
Set a good table. That is, a ia
BILE that is good and wide. This
will prevent diners reaching
across for food.
II you have a married couple in
the house, give them a sound
proof room, or their quarrels will
disturb other boarders.
Be sure and have but one bath
room, and no hot water. Fewer
baths means fewer towels to sup
|ply.

start up In the neighborhood and

ter now and then, and I will find
time to answer" Before they
parted he gave the boy coin.
A few weeks later q great politi-
cal campaign was on. The governor
was making his greatest fight. His
every move was watched by his en-
emies. and his strength was taxed
to the utmost. 1t was the turning
poitn in his career. He was not
fighting for self alone, for an army
of followers had cast their fortunes
with him. After the battle. while
the votes were being counted, the
candidate for reelection sought
rest and solitude in his private Of
flee waiting for returns from out
lying districts. His fate would be
known by midnight. If the cleo
ton went against him ne would be
ruined. He had neglected his bus
mess interests; his health was
broken; and his private fortune
had been swept away.
At last the message came. He
placed the receiver to his ear and
heard the word, Defeated" The
nerves of steel relaxed, and a
queer light came into the tired
eyes. He opened drawer liz the
desk before him and taking out a
revolver, eyed the instrument of
death. He cast lingering look
about him. His glance was at
tracted by an envelope lying I'M
opened among his papers. 1t was
small and soiled. He tore 1t open
and a parcel fell to the floor. He
stopped and picked 1t up. Done
up In a piece of brown paper was
a coin. He opened the letter and
read the rough scrawl:
Dear Governor: This Is from
Willie. / wanted to send you some
thing, and all I have Is the coin
you gave me a year ago. 1t Will
help 20 uto remember me. may
not be here when you come again,
as heard the doctor whisper to
the nurse that I would not live
long; but ! am glad and thankful
for every day. I often wished I
might become a great and brave
man like you. I am in bed all the
time now, but I mvery happy be-
cause everybody Is SO kind"
Tears gathered in the eyes of
the defeated candidate. He quickly
placed the gun back in the drawer.
Then he stood erect and the old
glea moi courage came back into
his eyes. He wrapped the coin in
the piece of brown paper and plac-
ing 1t In the corner of his wallet.
walked from the room to meet the
world again, his face flooded with
peace ana happiness.
Thee DIN was the beginning Of
a new hope which in future years
blossorned into renewed greatness
and success.

trade from the other fellow.
Always speed the parting guest
but you have to be vigilant to
do it. Some guests are apt to
speed without the Formally of a
parting.
To keep the parlor from being
mussed up install several enlarged
portraits of gloomy-looking rela-
tives. Then it will not become a
lounging place. Don't air it too
often, either.
Be sure and receive the mail
yourself. By close attention, you
can soon tell which letters con-
tain money, and then you will be
able to present bills at the psy-
theological moment.
If any boarder shows a con-
tented disposition, move him to
worse room than he already has.
His room can then be rented to
someone else.
Finally, don't be afraid to raise
rates. A person who boards has
nowhere else tn live.

BATTER UP,

BATTER UP!
Girls, stop playing tiddle-dee-
winks and sewing rag dolls all the
time. Play ball! Yes, base ball,
the game that is giving your kid
brothers muscular frames and
thick coats of tan.
Base ball Is the great national
game, and 1t isn't right that you
girls should allow your brothers
and other girls brothers to monop-
ollie the greatest health-giying
and fun-making game ever in
vented.
That's all talk about girls be-
ing physically unable to throw and
catch and run. There are girls
in Tacoma who can throw a ball
as cleanly across the plate as
their brothers can, and they can
bat and run bases, too. -.
Get out and play, whether
you've ever had base ball in your
hands or not; you'll soon like the
game as well as the boys do.

Dear Miss Grey: How can /

Aft you have a naturally
good voice, 1t must have most
careful training and that. of

training would probably ruin your
voice.
