Denver-Employes of the State
Public Utilities Commission are not
amenable to the civil service law.
Judge Allen of the District Court so
ruled in granting Miss Grace Murray
writ of mandamus directing State
Auditor Roady Kenehan to issue
vouchers for her salary as a stenog-
rapher for the commission for the
months of August and September.
kenehan refused to sanction pay
ment of Miss Murray's salary because
she had not taken the civil service ex-
animation before she became stenog-
rapher for the commission. Contend
Ing that the affairs of the commission
are not subject to civil service regu-
lation, which contention was shared by
members of the board itself, Miss
Murray's counsel instituted test suit.
Judge Aliens decision was based on
The fact that the public utilities act
was passed after the civil service COM
mission was created.
The attorney general gave notice
that he would apply to the Supreme
Court for a writ of supersedeas.

WIlES OF TEMPER
Develop the Soul, But Path of
DaIliance Is Never Road to
Spiritual Triumph.

Temptations are the rounds in the
ladder upon which the soul rises.
There are always rounds enough to
develop the will and to temper the
soul from above. There is no need of
dallying with the temptation of the
brute or seeking the seductions Of
the lower life in order to temper the
soul. The path of dalliance is never
the road to spiritual triumph Theo-
dore Parker was wont to divide the
temptations of life into two classes, the
lust of the appetites and the lust of
power; the former the temptations
that beset youth the latter the more
sordid and subtle temptations of age.
The story of the temptations Of
Jesus may well be taken as a parable
of the temptations of all men. First,
the greed of bread, the lust of money,
the turning of everything to gold
Next, the greed of power the politician
knows, the lure of the aristocrat, the
conceit of kings and man-made mobiles.
Temptation of ReckIessness.
Last, the temptations of reckless
ness, the disposition to defy the laws
that control the life of the humble
and the lowly, the gambling inspira-
ton, the man who temporizes today
that he may be powerful tomorrow,
the woman who seeks the seductions
of society, violates the conditions of
sense, thrift and art in order that she
may get into the swim" and then Sc
cure vantage ground for usefulness.
Lead us not into temptation" Is
the cry of the mortal in the presence
of the clamorous demands of the I'M
holy life. Most of the animal func-
lions of the body have become auto
matte in the human. Heart, lungs,
stomach and other special organs dis
charge their functions unbidden.
Their actions have become organ
fought low down on the biological tree.
This organized efficiency was given
to man at his BIRTH so 1t Is the strug-
sic of the spirit to make mortality or
ganic, the conscience automatic. This |
is the secret of the pure in heart; 1t |
