Rotation in Office was and all
ways should be one of the great
fundamental principles Of our
representative form Of govern
ment; especially in the Demo-

Efficiency of any official is
neither reason, nor argument
for perpetuating such official in
Office; which if successfully car

liens of an opportunity, in life,
to prove and demonstrate to the
taxpayers and voters, his quail
~ifications and efficiency. There
fore, if such silly and undemo-

fully prevail, thereby virtually
creating a life tenure in such
official what an awful calam-
ity to our country it certainly
would be, when that only eff
cient official died!

a united family forever more.
Out of this life with its grief and
its tears
Into the glorious dawn:
Out of the nightfall that came with
the years
Into the sunrise of morn!
Yes, out of the shadows into the sun
light,
Out Of the unrest, into the calm!
Done with the heartache, forgetting
all sorrows,
Striking the harp, and bearing the
palm.
0 sweet blessed service, that melted
and nodded
A life into radiant beauty divine,
Until earth held much Of Heaven en-
folded,
In a soul that was meant in Gods
mansions to shine.
Oh, sweet blessed rest that comes af-
ter service,
What cares she now for the storms
that are past?
What count the years or the long, long
journey?
For she has reached Heaven and
homeland at last.
o, years of sweet memory! we hallow
thy friendship,
Tho broken and lost in the world
with its pain,
Bear US out Of the shadows into Gods
blessed sunlight,
Where we1l find u loved ones, and
our treasures again.
