The advances made in the science of public health work and sanitation during the past twenty-five years are fully abreast of those of all other sciences during the latter part of the nineteenth century. City health work is closely al with that of the st modern means of communication, both rail and water, with that of adjacent and distant foreign countries, The require ments, therefore, of the proposed health commissioner are not and should not be based on narrow limits, such as residence in the county or state, but rather on professional ability, spe cial training and experience in the line of work demanded of such an officer. The present proposed charter amendment limits the selec tiog-for this office to medical men residents of Seattle, It de prives the city of the privilege of making a selection, should such selection’ geem wisé, from any one of the trained federal corps, either the army, navy or United States public health and marine hospital, service Such limitation would be unfortunate, especially with ref erence to the latter service, which is a corps of men trained in the very work the proposed health commissioner is liable to be called upon at any time to do. The recent crisis which Seattle faced when bubonic plague was found here but emphasizes the necessity of a char ter provision on the broader lines suggested. The fact that one of the members of the present board of health, who had had experience in fighting epidemic disease, coul as Special health officer, with power to handle the situa was fortunate for the city of Seattle, but was only an accident and might not occur in a future crisis The only way to guard 1 be named against being caught by such a crigis is to amend the charter on broad, liberal grounds, elim inating the possibility of politics, looking only to the publi welfare, and making possible the appointment of the best trained man who could be ind whether he has lived in Seattle te It is not to be inferred thatSeattle does not possess many well qualified men for such a position, but it may be conf dently asserted that not one of them co dl to ac cept the position and take the chances of having to t build up a practice again at the end of his term of office Younger, less experienced men would have to be selected, and though of ability, it would require practically their entire term of service to bring them up to the point of efficiency pos. sessed by any number of trained men now in government 1 days or ten years. id be ind: gin to Copyright W907, by Roberts Wicks You will appreci $12.50 and $15.00 Suits, in tweeds and fancy mix Se MOE Ce Se echoes ieee bed oe $8.65 $16.50 and $18.00 Suits, in clay worsteds, imported tweeds, blue and black ser ingle and double breasted, now ....... z $10.75 $20.00 and $22.50 Suits, every garment finely t lored; they come in black unfinished sted grays, browns, fancy mixtures, sit and doubl 15 breasted; now $25.00 and $27.50 Suits, in blue and black imported English tweeds and black clay worst eds, single and double breasted; they come in the latest cuts and color 10M We have a few Full Dre and Tuxedo Su left at Half Price Cravenettes $15.00 Cravenettes, in fancy mixtures, now .$7.65 $18.00 Black Cravenettes, guaranteed waterproof now ‘ $10.35 25.00 and $30.00 Black, Gray and Gra Stripe Gen uine Priestley, patent poch now $16.50 Overcoats $15.00 Overcoats, in dark et t nd lig mi ture now $8.95 $25.00 Overcoats, in fine coverts and fat coatings, silk lined, finel lored, now $13. 103-105-107 We" ’ keep on gon That's the Answer, “Say dad, what's the crust of so The crust of society is what it costa you to break into It, som,” A little show gtrt and that of other states, and with the | A lot of men. like to ait and watch a fat man for Of all the scor the world’s affilcted as | expected Revised Etiquet man Should Always cede a Lady. “l to accept the position,! “Do you move in the same circle should say not,” thing with a dimple Take « trip oa 8. aavy yard, Wisconsin and go, Buffalo and wy); the traiuing ship Philadelphia, the mammoth dry docks and prison ship Nipste Pier 2, foot of Yesler way, 6 times battleships Ores torpedo boats Why not settle that great question of a Xmas gift by buying somet! . i r j ing useful seems a peculiar gift, but from the fact that it is useful it will be greatly appreciated by e the opportunity to buy practical gifts here ime reductions . regular price $5.00; n Furnishing Goods Golf Shirts, now ....$1.10 $1.35 kwon 25¢ BOW 660s suitors 50¢ $2.45 : 00 » now $3.00 oking Jackets 0 and $1.7 ts now uspenders now »weaters now ALL SUITS PRESSED AND KEPT IN REPAIR FRE A.
