Where the Fshians First Met.

Clifford's Inn, by Temple Bar, which was recently sold at auction in Lon don, has already undergone a good deal of reconstruction, though this. has not sc far materially damaged tae last of the c]oistral retreats behind the frontage ot Fleet street. When the old buildings disappear, as seems in. evitable, there will go a good many sets of chambers associated with fa- nous men-among them the rooms occupied for many years, while his books were slowly making way among the discerning, by that pure eccen- tric Samuel Butler of "Crewhon." T.: was, by the way, ill the little old ha(i of Clifford's Inn that the weekly meet ingS of the Fabian society were held fer at least a decade and a half. It was there, indeed, that the old gang Sidney Webb, Bernard Shaw, Hu- bert Bland, Graham Wallas, Sydney Olivier and the rest-fi finished and practised the debating game which in the nineties made them so power. full band of controversialists.-M chester Guardian.

FIELD "sTOOD FEM UP.'
Minstrels Please Crowds of Pleasure
 Seekers at Dallas.

The Al G. Field minstrels "stood lem up" at the Dallas opera house last night, says the Dallas News in re- cent issue.
 The audience was large and the applause liberal, the Dallas favorite, Bert Swor, coming in for the gener- ous appreciation always accorded him here in the city he calls his home. West Alvey, another local favorite, was also warmly greeted.
 Al G. Field never puts on a long show. He charges the right price and delivers honest goods-two hours and thirty minutes of fun, frolic and foclishness interspersed with good masculine solo and chorus work and high-class orestration. The stagings are of the best quality and the per formance in it's entirety one that pro- vokes constant laughter and other tokens of appreciation.
 If you enjoy minstrel show. you will enjoy Al G. Fields, and if you enjoy the mirthful type of burnt-cork artistry, you will enjoy Bert Swor and his sky-larking companions.

 Once there was a good-natured old scout who opened drug store on the corner with the intention of making enough money to buy bird seed once in while. The first gink who blew in wanted to know the correct time, and not a cents worth did he buy The next was one of those hurry up guys who wanted city directory, and want ed to know if Murphy was spelled

GIVING POOR CAUSE
 FOR THANKSGIVING
Pine Blnif Children Will Provide C0n- tents Of Baskets to I,a Distributed
 by Charities.

In accord with custom, children at tending the Pine Bluff schools wilt make contributions this year to a fund" of groceries from which the wherewithal for Thanksgiving dn- ners for the poor is obtained.
 The groceries are assembled at the different schools and turned over tc the Associated Charities, which organization attends to the distribu~ tion. The boys of the school have consented to transport the contribu tions from the schools to the Chari ties office this year, relieving the organization of this expense. There are about twenty-five families to be provided for, if they are to enjoy a Thanksgiving feast. Usually such generous quantities of groceries are contributed that the charity associa- tion is enabled to amass some for future need, which exists always.
 Miss Julia Houston, secretary, and Miss Rosalio Philpot, assistant secre- tary of the Charities. yesterday tele- rhCned the principals of the schools, requesting that the children be as7lcd to bring mostly staple articles, such
 
 fruits to confine their contributions to apples and oranges. P"rishables are not desired, because they spoil before they can be transmitted to the families on the list Fresh meat is accer table. however. in small nuanti ties, as arrangements for storing this has been made.
 The officers of the Charities also request that any person having know ledge of a family in need telephone the Associated Charities early today that basket for the family may ht prepared and sent out this afternoon
 The purpose of the annual distri button of Thanksgiving baskets is twofold: to provide for those in want and to interest the children in the welfare of others, thus inculcatina out of the tents of the great fratern- ity of the Brotherhood of Man

Dallas, N. C-Mrs. Thomas Davis of this place, says: About two years ago. when I was eighteen years old, l was in a bad condition from womanly troubles l fell off until l weighed not more than S5 lbs.
 I suffered dreadful pains in my hips, sides and abdomen, for about , days out of every month.
 couldn't sleep at night, and the pains were so dreadful 1 couldn't lie down for the blood would seem to rush to my head.
 I felt I must have some relief, for it seemed that the awful suffering would surely kill me.
 1 had read of what Cardui had dono for others, and thought l would try it.
 After the use of one bottle, the pains had entirely stopped and I was able to sleep.
 After using four bottles, I was a we'll woman, I was regular, I got back my flesh, and I now weigh 126 lbs. and am able to do all my work with out any trouble.
 I certainly recommend Cardui tc suffering women, for l know it cured me.
 My friends who saw mo when l weighed S5 pounds and would see me now, would know what Cardui had done for me-"

THE MAYOR SEES 4 LIGHT

Apparently great light has reached Mayor
Fern ON the subject of the civil service commits
sion.
His latest statement is that he will name a
new commission within a few days.
week or two ago the mayor intimated that
the commission had been of no value to the city,
cost too much money, secured no tangible re-
suits and was not worth mentioning. Thus he
defended his course in allowing the terms of the
old commissioners to expire and in naming no
new members of the board. But the mayors
course met no popular applause in fact it was
severely criticised. Now he indicates that he
viii start the commission afresh. "
We hope the mayor adheres to his latest de-
cision He should name the commission as early
rs possible No other course is open to him un-
def the law

ABUSE OF POWER TO PROVIDE JOBS

All signs point to a determined assault
upon the civil service system by the Democrats
in Congress. The reason is, of course, that they
workers.
The urgent deficiency bill passed last year s
session with a "rider' that removed from civil
service regulations deputy collectors of internal
revenue and deputy United States marshals.
Now the postoffice appropriation bill has been
cious orders" tackled upon it. This removes as
sistant postmasters from civil service rules.
For a party that has shouted so long and so
loudly for civil service the record of the Democ-
racy now in control of national legislation is en-
tirelya discreditable. Such strong supporters of
President Wilson's administration as the New
York Evening Post and Samuel c. Blythe, of the
Saturday Evening Post, declared some months
ago that the Democratic leaders in Congress
were scheming to let down the civil service bars
so that their hungry henchmen could rush into
the pasture The beginning of this rush has al
ready come. -}s @1s.s,'~ -
The Republican party made plenty of mis-
takes in its handling Of public office and the
parcelling out of patronage. Its record is tar
nished by the spois SYSTEM against which de-
termined stand was made some years ago - with
good results But even the mistakes and the
misdemeanors of the Republicans included no
such shameful abuse of power as is now shown
in the destruction of the civil service system to
provide bones for the hyenas of politics. -

REPUBLICAN PRECINCT CLUBS MUST ACT

The chairman of the Republican territorial
central committee is sending out to precinct
clubs throughout the territory copies of the pro-
posed changes in party rules The Star Bulletin
has repeatedly drawn attention to the delay in
Putting the proposed changes before the Repub-
'icans Of the territory, and ii is hardly neces:
saig to comment upon il again except to empha-
size the necessity now for prompt consideration
Of what the rules revision committee has to Of
fef
Party primaries will be held early next month
and the date for the rules convention is now only
five weeks away. The revision of party rules is
an important matter; the committee has sug-
sested radical changes based largely ON the
principle of placing more control Of party af-
fairs in the hands of the territorial committee
DO the Republicans agree with this principle or
DO they not? That is likely to be the leading
question at the convention Tie changes made
q conform to the new direct primary law are
Inevitable and largely formal Most Of them
win be accepted without discussion
The committee has given little time to the
precinct clubs to consider the changes. That
little time should be used energeticalys Other,
wise the convention is certaintobe ran by few
men and naturally 50, for the rest will know
Iothing about the subject up for action.

NIGHT INSIST ON IT

The city treasuler's explanation of the reason
why the treasury money has not been counted as
required by law is all right as far as it goes, but
it doesn't go very far. The law requires the au-
ditor, city and county attorney and mayor to
count the money every quarter. The treasurer
thinks that the count has not been made because
at the time designated there was no money on
hand. He says: s-soz ! S
When first took office last January the
mittee called and counted the money But since then
they have not been here 1 kept thinking that they
would come, and from time to time thought would
suggest it to them. Though no particular harm has
been done, far know, the statute requiring
the quarterly count is the books it should be
made" G5 - :. .sI n r. |
Under the circumstances, it certainly seems
as if the treasurer should have done more than
think of suggesting that the provisions of the
city charter should be carried out mo partic-
llar harm has been done" but when public Off
cials begin to display laxity in handling the
citys financial affairs the resultant condition is
anything but reassuring for the taxpayers.
For his own protection, even if not for that
of the city, the treasurer should If Suggesting
proves fruitless-do some insisting.
