Joke Civil Service

H. p Burdick of the civil service commission, now
says the civil service of Tacoma is a farce.
The Times stated this fact when the charter COM
mission was at work over three years ago. In truth
it intended to be farce for the civil service OF
the charter put there by the enemies of civil
service, the present commissioner, A. u Mills, Gov
ernor Lister and H. j. McGregor being the dominant
factors in the charter commission who forced the
present farce on the people so they would have the
name of civil service but not disturb the old spos
system to any great extent.
Burdick is right, Tacoma will get real civil
service until there is revision of the charter this
subject 1t will not do to elect civil service adj
vocates to office under the present charter provis
ion. For while the individual may believe in the
principle thoroughly, human nature is weak and
principles do not always prevail when private In
clinations opposed.
Mayor Seymour made most of his campaign on an
advocacy of civil service yet about the first appoint
ments he made in violation of civil service, and
he has been free to his from it by ordin-
since Other officials have been in the at
titude 1t is plain that charter provision must be
made emphatic and binding that no official can
get back of it.

MELBOURNE

The feature at the Melbourne
today is a spectacle of the launch
ing of big steamer port side on
instead of stern first. Engineers
who have studied this method de-
clare it is the coming system as a
considerable saving is made in
the construction of the launching
false work. A humorous story Is
wound around the steamers
launching that is a good piece of
comedy.

Bob Fitzsimmons may have
been the worlds champion In the
prize ring, but his wife, Julia Gift
ford, is surely one of the bright-=
est stars of the musical comedy
stage. With a supporting COM
pany of seventeen singers and
dancers, Miss Clifford will be the
headline feature of the new bill
at the Pantages theater beginning
Monday afternoon in the musical
comedy, "The Bulgarian Prin-
cess
Another excellent feature of
the big Montamara Festo bill, will
be Joseph e. Bernard and Hazel
Harrington in 1.-The Newly Mar
ried Man" This is a clever little
comedy sketch of unique plot and
said to be excellently acted. The
act has been scoring big hit since
it began the tour of the Pantages-
circuit in Calgary a few weeks
ago.
The Mars Duo, with an act of
absolutely new and original feats
on the slack wire, is to be an
other feature of the new bill.
Just when one thinks he has seen
everything that's new in dancing,
Sylvester and Vance come along
to prove that he is mistaken.
These two dancers have conceived
a clever novelty and are scoring a
big hit with it. To see them
dance on their steel-springed toes
is to learn something new of the
art of dancing. Another clever
feature of the bill is Billy Dodge,
famed throughout vaudeville as a
comedian. There will be new
motion pictures and the Pantages
orchestra may be depended on for =
new musical features

Former President Roosevelt was
saved a lawyers bill in his suit
against Editor Newett at Marquette,
Michigan. After the suit was over
the Colonel wrote to Bowers &
Sands of New York for their bill,
and received a reply from William
III. Van Benschoten, who went from
New York to Marquette to handle
the case, saying that they regarded
their labors as a duty to the public
and would render no bill.
The failure of congress to remedy
the evils of alley slums In Wash

attention of President Wilson the
fact that the nations capital ought
to have a plan of government
which would be more responsive to
local sentiment. People In the dis
trict have no vote. Therefore It
makes no difference what the peo-
pie in the district think about con-
ditions, good or bad. The president
sees that the people of Washington
ought to have the vote which was
taken from them In 1878 restored
under some plan similar to the Des
Moines commissions plan.

The learned ones of the Smithson-
ion Institution are much excited
over the news that the leg bone of
camel and the shin bone of a
horse have been found near the
Yukon Alaskan boundary. These
bones are identified with the Pele-
istocene age, which is the age just
preceding the age of man. The
question is, how the camel and the
horse, supposed to live in a warm
climate, left their bones within the
Arctic circle. That they came from
Asia is quite settled in the minds
OF the learned gentlemen who are
convinced that there was once a
complete land connection where now
there is string of islands extend
ing from Alaska toward the Asiatic
continent.

when our eyes of understanding were
misdirected by our creeds away from
the God of the Bible to a creedal image

the difficulty that the world has SO

scarcely believe the gracious Message

Our text illustrates our former blind

us from eternal torture. Quite to the
contrary, 1t declares that His mission
was to a from perishing. When
brute beasts die, they perish. God has
made no provision for their resurrec-
ton. Mankind would have likewise
persisted, had it not been for Gods
Mercy and provision In Christ.
Because of Jesus death there is toshe
a resurrection, not only Of the just.
now In harmony with God through
faith. but also Of the unjust-the un-
justified, whose eyes of understanding
have not yet opened to see the grace
Of God. Thus we read, ."As all in
