Napoleon made and upset en-
pires, but when Wellington
threshed him at Waterloo he
helped to make important Tacoma
history.
On the battlefield, left for dead
was Captain Peter Steward,
young British officer. Belgian
farmers gathering up the dead
after the battle thought they de-
tected life in the Englishman.
They took him home, nursed him
a year and he recovered. He
liked those Belgians, so he settled
there, married a Begian girl, and
became the grandfather of Father
Peter Francis Hylebos.
And there is the connection be-
tween Waterloo and Tacoma.
Father Peter Francis Hylebos
had a twin brother, Francis Peter
Hylebos, and they were the eldest
of IL children born to merchant
of Grammount, Nesting by the
! battlefield of Waterloo.
Studied Engineering.
At seven Father Hylebos start
ed to school. From that moment
1t seemed predestined he was to
be a minister. His boyisn fancy
led him to missionary fields. He
wanted to see the lands unexplor-
ed, SO his father told him to study
engineering.
At "A he had passed his engf-
neering examinations. AS stu
dent at the University of Louvain
he met the late Bishop Spauld-
ing. from America, also a student,
also the later Archdeacon Rear
don of Frisco. They told him of
the great America.
That settled 1t.
When through college at 81
Father Hylebos had made up his
mind to come to Washington.

VITAL ISSUE
BEHIND CITY
HALL BATTLE
Everybody is taking a crack at

Everybody is taking a crack at
it,
Tacoma's civil service is getting
so full of holes that 1t can't last
much longer, unless the people
make a vigorous protest.
Now the civil service board is
going into court to test whether
two more positions can be taken
out of civil service. One is the
secretaryship to Commissioner
Mills, the other the city store
keeper.
1t would probably be more sat
isfactory to Mills to have the man
in his office to be of his own selec-
tion. There doesn't seem to be
any reason why the storekeeper
should be exempted.
But whether this or that par
ticular Office should be taken out
of civil service is beside the point.
The law plainly says that only
newly created department heads
should be exempted. To call a
storekeeper or "a private secretary

evasion of the law.
If the law is defective, it should
be changed, then rigidly lived up
to.
The Times pointed out when
the civil service provisions were
first drawn up that it would be a
farce. 1t has proved so.
With some few exceptions the
commissioners from the first have
been willing to have civil service
after they had got the men they
wanted appointed outside civfi
service.
The people generally believe IN
civil service. The U. S. govern
ment has adopted it very general
ly. Every city in the country rs
3 seeking to extend civil service,
not restrict it.
Civil service is the peoples
great guarantee against the
'spoils system"
If civil service is abolished, as
some members of the commission
openly hope, we'll see new army
of city employees with each change
of administration. The new men
are unframed. The service for a
time at least must be less efficient.
Competent men will no longer
seek the city service as a life
work.
If civil service is abolished, 1t
opens the way for any commits
sioner to build up great political
machine, composed of men whose
first loyalty is to him rather than
to the people.
To abolish civil service means
go back to machine rule from
which the people have been striv-
ing desperately to free them
selves.
The matter Of the two offices

paratively. The principle itself is
vital to efficient management OF
cify affairs

In following his hobby Father
Hylebos went out east of town,
bought 140 acres of land, put a

Father Hylebos learned the Ian

thoroughly initiated into frontier
life.
Lost in the woods one night he
discerned a twinkling light and
pulled up at cabin. A call
brought the occupant out. His
last candle also burned out. but
he offered Father Hylebos a

"Why, you are a Catholic
priest" said the host in astonish-
ment next morning as he saw the
clerical garb of Father Hylebos.
"Yes,' said the father, smiling.

But whether Indian. Methodist

Johnny Fritts grew up wild like a

cared. He as old man Fritts'

Johnny smoked and chewed and

He robbed a jewelry store for
