did not believe that any of the irreSu-

ON CIVIL

Revolt Against Clean Politi-
cal Doctrine Started by the
Democrats, Who Declare
That to the Victors Be
long All the Spells.

Washington. Dec. 2-Indiana mem
bers OF congress who returned to
Washington today are raising the stan
dard of revolt against the civil service
and are calling on their fellow solons
from other states to rally to their bat
tie cry.
No more catching slogan ever was
sounded in congress than this Mace
DOMAIN appeal from Hoosierdom that
the civil service bars be let down in
order that good and loyal democrats,
who have been on the outside looking
in for sixteen years, may step inside
and satiate their keenly whetted appe-
titles.
Cu1lop Starts 1t.
Representative W. A Cullop of In
diana was one of these who declared
war on civil service If Mr. Cullop had
his way he would turn out every fat
sleek. pampered republican office hold
out in the cold and make him rustic
for a living.

peal the civil service law root anc

Calls Law "Rotten."
TT is rotten law and it Is admin
istered in manner that is just as rot
ten as the law itself. They call 1t civi

First of all I believe that Presiden

civil service blanket greatly In recen

De--iI. of Tragedy.
Cashier LAX is the father of seven
children. He is employed In the Stand
ard Steel Car works, and last Saturday
afternoon the mother was busily en-
gagged In cleaning up the little home
in order to have 1t in readiness for her
sixteen year old son John, who was
expected to come later in the evening.
All but two little boys were outside
playing. The mother called her twelve
year old son to go 10 the front room
to get her a mirror. His seven year
old brother Frank was in this brother
and the older brother in getting into a
chair to reach for the mirror could not
resist the temptation to take 4 twenty
two caliber rifle from the wall which
hung within. reach. His second oldest
brother had used 1t to shoot pigeons
and had left a long bullet in the bar
rel. The boy ignorant of this pulled
back the hammer. and playfully point
ed the weapon at his little brother
who having no fear of any harm came
closer. Still standing on the chair he
pulled the trigger and the bullet true
to a deadly aim entered the forehead
and crushed the tender skull. The
bullet itself was broken in two by the
force.

RODENTS
WERE EXAMINED
NOTHING HAS YET BEEN FOUND
TO INDICATE THAT BUBoNIc
PLAGUE EXISTS AMONG RATS
IN PENSACOLA, ALTHOUGH
QUITE A NUMBER HAVE BEEN
CAREFULLY EXAMINED.

Nothing to indicate the presence of
bubonic plague among the rats in this
city has as yet been discovered, eight
more of the rodents being examined
by DR.. Brink at the state bacteri-
illogical laboratory during the day yes
terday. None of them were from near
the waterfront, however.
Although very small proportion of
the amount appropriated by the city
council for the determination Of rats
has as yet been expended, the aggre-
gate number of rats examined in the
state meteorological laboratory is con-
siderable and has at least proven al
ready that the plague is not prevalent
among the rats here generally.
