the clothier with a pencil, piece of paper, and

couldn't pay the bill: the firms condition wouldn't
permit it. The clothing merchant listened with
pursed mouth. 1t looked like blue day to him.

ASSESSORS OFFICE IS

Party Control Changes
Shame" Says Ex-Hmploye

It's a crying shame the way the
politicians make football OF the tax
assessors Office" remarked Deputy
City Treasurer Bauman, who for many
years was employed In the assessors
Office The nature OF the work in
that office is such that II requires ex-
perience and ability. yet every time
the board changes politics there is an
unheavai and half the clerks are fired
II takes year or more for the clerks
10 get seasoned to the work and just
as soon as they become valuable TO
the city out they go.
Dave Farmer. one OF the most etfi-
cient clerks that office had, resigned
few days ago because he didn't want
TO be dismissed when the Democratic
board gets down to business. or
course, the Republicans have used the
office the same way as have the Demo
Gratis. but nevertheless 1t is wrong.
and the action OF one party does not
excuse the other"
There are q clerks in the Office and
II has been the boards policy to allow
one-third that number to hold the
political faith Of the minority member
OF the three-man board The Demo
office at present and when the board
meets again the order will be re-
versed. About nine Republicans will
be fred TO be supplanted by Demo
Gratis. The selection OF these men Is
not made by the Democratic members
OF the hoard without consultation with
Mayor Thompson, and his every wish
is gratified. so that the mayor dom
mates the board.
The Republican employees have been
anxious about their jobs for weeks and
some OF the more earnest workers
have talked about resigning to relieve
the suspense
Aid. Ed Keusch will be one OF the
assistant assessors. John Scott,
clerk. will probably be the other as
sistant, while Charles Jacobs, who has
been contesting for the appointment,
was an assistant with Scott will be
given the job OF chief clerk, now held
by Ed. Saunders. Republican. The
latter job pays $4,000. while the assist
ant gets 81, 300, but the assistants job
does not call for SO much work.

AVIATOR PLUNGES TO
DEATH IN RESERVOIR

CLEVELAND. O., July S.-Robert
Thibedeau. 1Syears-old, was drowned
late yesterday when his parachute,
cut adrift, 1000 feet in air, descended
in Paramount reservoir
II was Thibedeau's second ascen-
sion. A week ago he was to have
gone up with o. r. Bankstown, the
aeronaut with whom he was serving
novitiate AS the balloon started.
some part OF the apparatus gave way,
leaving Bankston on the ground Thu
bedeau kept his head, cut loose prop
erly and made q safe descent.
Thousands saw the boy part COM
pany with his balloon yesterday and
start his drop. The reservoir Ia two
acres In extent and the boys mex
perience doubtless cost him his life.
as an older parachute jumper would
have been a better Judge OF distance
and driftage and avoided the water.
After some delay boat put out to
the spot where the parachute fioated.
Thibedeau, however. dashed to the
trapeze, had sunk. His body was
taken to a neighboring hospital and

DIVORCE is SOMETIMES
NECESSARY, SAYS PASTOR
Separation Often Admissible
and Remarriage Permissible,
Declares DR.. Young

"As a divine compact marriage Is
indissulable except by death, but as
social compact, separation is often
admissible, divorce sometimes neces'
sary and remarriage permissible" de
clared the Rev. T. W. Young, Sunday
evening, in the North Baptist church
in the course OF a sermon on ID
vorce," the final In series on Mar
rage"
The man or woman who has made
q shipwreck of one marriage union
has no moral right to wreck another
and society should put a restraint
upon such attempts. But II would
seem that the innocent and unoffend-
ing man or woman should not be pun
ished the rest Of mortal life for the
ain OF some reprobate. IL such limo
cent persons desire TO remarry, social
I welfare would seem TO permit II. The
chief source OF the divorce evil is
the low estimate put upon marriage
and its obligations and the surest
way to correct the evil is to inculcate
the highest ideals OF marriage. Only
Z Elk other cities In the United States
have a worse divorce record than De
ltroit. In Detroit, there Is one divorce
for every nine marriage and IN Il
months of 1911, there were granted
4 1902 divorces. The fact that lesi
than two per cent of divorce applica
tons are denied, Is a severe common
tary upon the records Of the divorc,
court"
DR.. Dung declared II is useless I,

ing fitted to the childhood Of tn

of all nations and all time"
