CUTS OUT CRITICISM
 OF CIVIL SERVICE LAW
Commission Will Not Include Pres Ident Merris' Statement in Annual Report.

idenf McFrfs' SkateueHk in %nnuat
 Report.
 The civil service commission at a meeting in the capitol at Hartford on Wednesday decided to eliminate from it's annual report the statement, signed by Charles c. Morris, as pres ident of the commission, in which there appeared a criticism of the amendment to the law passed at the session of 1915,
 All the members were present and there was a prolonged discussion on the report. The elimination of the statement does not necessarily mean that 1t is to be permanently with drawn. The part o fthe report. con- sistfng principally of statistics, is to be printed and the Morris statement will be discussed at a later meeting. Whether 1t win be printed as sup piement to the report is still to be decided. It will be remembered that the original report, including the statement signed by the president was submitted in printed form to Governor Holcomb. It was afterwards a vote of the commission, some of the members dissenting from the opinions expressed in the presidents statement
 with the governor the data, which President Morris quoted and on which he based his criticism of the action of the general assembly and of the operation of the amendment to the law. will be printed as a part of the statistical statement. Those who are interested in the operation of the law, since the amendment of 1915 went into effect a little less than a year ago will therefore have an opportunity of seeing for themselves the effect of the amendment on the civil service Of the state.
 President Morris said that the re- port, including his statement. was adopted some time ago at a meeting of the commission, when there were only three members present.
 The two absent members did not know anything about it. He read the pencil notes of his statement, # not being then in completed form. It was understood by his colleagues that the opinions expressed in 1t were his own individual views.
 Suppose that the three members who originally authorized the print ing of your statement with the rercrt favor the printing of 1t at the next meeting, will there be a dissenting opinion by the two other members who are opposed to 1t, printed"
 That Is for the commission to de- termine," replied President Morris.

SHEESLEY SHOWS

CROWD FIND A LOT TO ENTER
TAIN AND AMUSE, AND ALL
CONCESSIONS ARE GETTING
LARGE SHARE OF PATRONAGE

Sheesley's shows are a real big fea-
ture of the 1916 carnival, and all the
attractions serve to entertain, to
amuse and to keep the large number
of visitors and town people in good
humor. The concessions which are
a very necessary adjunct TO travelling
attractions, seem to be we'll patron
lied. Some of the shows are as fol-
lows:
The Garden of Allah is a beautiful
production of the orient showing
oriental costumes, games and cere-
monies and dances without an often
sive feature. The big side show has
many strange people, freaks of ma
ture and sights and the new auto
dome is revelation in this class of
amusement.
The Old Plantation amuses people
of all races and drives dull care away.
A CHEEKY hour is we'll spent with the
40 Miners Camp" where the buxom
lads and lasses while away the time
dancing to the tunes of the COW boy
orchestra.
The Tango Tabloid is a musical
comedy but in no sense a girl show,
introducing lot of comely maidens
and comedians in up-to-date must
ical extravaganza.
Olga is the sweetest little midget
in all the world. To see her is to

RIBBONS IN
CITY FOR PUPILS
LARGE NUMBER WHICH WERE
AWARDED FOR MERIT AT ES-
GAMBIA COUNTY FAIR, WILL
BE READY FOR DISTRIBUTION.

General Manager Lillard announced
yesterday that the prize ribbons which
were awarded at the fair for boys
and girls who had attained to a GER
tain percentage in school attendance,
and who have been so certified to the
board, have all arrived, and are now
ready for distribution. Those who
have one of the ribbons coming to
them may obtain such by calling upon
the general manager, at his Office in
the Blount building.
These prize ribbons have been de-
layed longer than had been expected
and the winners had about given up
hope of getting the recognition of
their school attendance from the as
sociation. Such being the case, the
announcement of the general manager
of the fair will be received with de-
light by those entitled to them.
Mr.. Lillard will not be in his Office
a great deal for the next couple of
days, it might be stated. He is go
ing to enjoy the carnival festivities,
and is going to mingle with the
crowds on the streets like all enthus-
iastic Pensacolians, so that he may be
seen Wednesday.

and she gave gesture eloquent with
interest.
''That judiciary hearing! she ex-
claimed, and then we talked of con-
gresham Webb of North Carolina,
and because / am North Carolinian
by birth l blushed for him, until she
also spoke of Chief Justice Clark, and
then again my old pride in my native
state surged through me, and l was
glad to remind her tina both were rep
resentative.
Chief Justice Clark and other
southern men have written letters of
apology to the suffrage leaders, for
both Congressman Webb and Con-
gresham Whaley, who reflected so
little credit on the south at the con-
gressional hearing before the judic-
larry committee in Washington, qwhen
these two southern men who are such
ardent advocates of southern chilval-
ry showed themselves possessed of lit
tie of that qaulity which they so earn
estly recommend to southern women
IN place of the vote.
Mrs. Carter in her soft Japanese
robe, looked anything in the world but
militant. But there was a very earn
est ring to her voice, and very de-
termined set to her chin, when she
spoke of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment, and of the congressional
work into which the women have put
so much ardor. Needless to say, Mrs.
Carter, being member Of the Con-
gressional Union, does not believe in
state rights.
Being a member of the Southern
States Woman's Suffrage Conference,
and also affiliated with the National
association, through the Florida or
ganization, naturally disagreed with
her. For these two organizations are
working for suffrage through both
channels, but it was very interesting,
indeed, to talk to this earnest suf-
fragist, and we heartily agreed on
two things. Our love for DIR. Shaw,
who is a personal friend of Mrs. Car
ter, and in our belief that women may
differ in their views on public ques-
tions, even on political questions, and
still believe in the same fundamental
principles of right and justice.
After talking to Mrs. Carter, one
felt quite sure that the splendid work
she has done of immense benefit to the
Congressional Union forces, and in
spite of the fact that she assured me
that she could not make a speech be-
cause she could not catalogue her
ideas, and make them clear to others,
she gave me very clear idea of the
splendid work in which she has taken
such an active part, and I did not
wonder that she found it necessary to
slip away and take trip to Florida
to recuperate. And / was glad that
she chose Pensacola, for / felt sure
that she would come again, to enjoy
its carnival pleasures, which she
seemed to appreciate as both unique
and interesting.
