IAYORS AND TAXE8.

an ambitious citizen sets out ia !lcal preferment he Is apt to 1 in promises, and the usual exis that continued settvlce is with obstacles that grow ntable. Mayor Mitchel, of fk, has just called a conference bommittee of 107 that stood for his nomination and has gi the dilemma that confronts 4* cot his conclusion that if modal es want the intensive public

If the public demands in,ng service, it must expect to pay '^y Ling bills.

THE STOREKEEPER.

tent commercial complications hajve impressed on business cirfcie occasional necessity of litigaPto jjecure for the storekeeper and merchant justice and protection chicanery and slick practice. The I 7 who can come along and exploit sales in the same mediums that used by legitimate merchants and ies& men for their proposals to the le is being encouraged in a ne-

IUS

and illegitimate traffic. Such rtising mediums as accept such dulent announcements are not encouraging an imposition on the munity, but also are depriving the 4ft merchant of the natural trade sfa by all rights should be his. The 6 of Kansas has just met this sitlon by the following enactment, ich. commends itself for close study e: 's-f, .fee that any person, firm, iporation or association, who, with *nt to sell or in any wise dispose of merchandise, securities, service or iVthing offered by such firm, person, -poration or association, directly or (irectly, to the public for the sale or trlbutiftn or with intent to increase sale or consumption thereof, or to luce the public or any person, in any jiner, to enter into any obligation ating thereto, or to acquire title to, an interest therein: who makes, ilishes, disseminates, circulates or ces before the public, or causes the ne to te done, either directly or inectly, in this state, whether by news-

SENTINEL ON GUARD.

The City club Idea, which has become a tremendous influence on the side of better government In many of our large cities, Is taking a strong hold in smaller communities all over the country. Women as well as men are members of these clubs In many cities. Allen B. Pond, president of the Chicago City club, in a recent address before the Racine ("Wis.) City club, thus outlines the duties and functions of a City club, as follows: "The functions of a City club consist of keeping a live lobby In the interests of the public. A City club is on duty seven days a week and every week of the year. It is not only necessary to be active during an election campaign, but too often after good work has been accomplished in selecting competent officials, the citizens take a furlough. The officials need your help just as much after election as they did before. They need such assistance as can be given by the action of a group of volunteer citizens. A good share of the efficiency in public office comes as the result of helpful advice from citizens. "In the beginning your work, first of all a careful study of the community situation should be made. A survey which will give an accurate knowledge of the affairs of the city will form the basis of a report which will then be open for discussion. It Is the business of a City club to see that public opinion is guided, but first it must know what It needs, and then it can go ahead. "You will need the publicity that the press can give you because without publicity you can not accomplish some of the most important things that you may undertake. People look to the newspapers to keep them informed about events as they happen, therefore that medium of expression is very desirable. "The club must include men of means, and it must have people of slender incomes. It must include all that goes to make a pure democracy. No persons should be kept out of the City club."

TAKE A RIVER TRIP.

The other day after the returns were all in and the outcome of the Chicago election was ho longer in doubt, "William Hale Thompson took his fishing rod and started down the Mississippi river to restore his frazzled nerves. Now comes word from the front in Europe that one of the gigantic figures in the war would rather be fly casting than watching the forty-two centimeters.

Joffre, the silent man of France, has already been sufficiently vocal to confide his greatest ambition to an indiscreet friend, and the indiscreet friend has permitted it to get to the knowl edge of a correspondent. So that now the world knows just what Joffre most yearns for. It is a canal boat.

The generalissimo dreams, when he finds time to dream, of a barge moored somewhere along the course of a quiet French canal—and there are many quiet canals in France. Sublimely lazy, the general intends to sit all day, and fish, and smoke. His only companion is to be his good wife, who will be housekeeper—or boatkeeper. Hidden away from friends and from al the world, the grizzled warrior and his gray lady will forget all that is bad in m&nkind and rest content in the enjoyment of all that is good in nature.

This is the dream that Joffre dreams when for a few moments that notable brain of his rests from its calculations

and its racking watchfulness. It indicates that he Is, after all, merely a human being, with humanity's common longing for rest and peace, for the summer Bunlight and the ripple of little waves and the ministering shade of the trees in June. And the others, too, those mighty shapers of Europe's destinies, we probably quite as human as the silent Frenchman. May not a little pity be spared for them, in the midst of admiration and awe?

THE ROAD TO THE SOUTH.

Terre HautA will be located on the great north and south Chicago-Dixie-land highway, if plans being mapped out by principal cities along the route materialise.

That an Illinois highway running north and south from the Gulf of Mexico to the great lakes, branching at Nashville, one route running northeast through Indiana and the other northwest through Evansville, Danville and this place. *n be oonstruoted without a conflict in foTmer plans, was the opinion reached at an enthusiastic mass meeting held at the Danville Industrial club this week.

Through the efforts of Secretary L. M. Vaughn, recently elected to succeed H. H. Roseman, and secured from South Bend, Ind., where he served with the chamber of commerce for some time, the plan was instituted, and it is believed will be carried out. Along the course of the proposed roadway there has sprung up a flame of interest, and supporters are taking up the matter everywhere.

An organization composed of two representatives from each county which the road will pass will be effected to promote the plan. Large effects for good will result from the building of the road. It will boost Terre Haute and instil and build up our trade.

The proposed route comes south from Chicago, striking Danville, Terre Haute, Evansville, and thence to Nash« ville, then southeast to Chattanooga and Atlanta, Ga. It will be constructed much after the plan of the famous Lincoln highway.

Each county will decide the material for its construction through that county. With the completion of the work to be done on the roads of Vermilion county, Illinois, where a million and a half dollars are to be spent to improve highways, the Chicago-Dixie-land road will be complete.

SCHOOL BOARD GOES OVER DISCREPANCIES

Takes Up Booker Washington School Matter With Contractors and Architect.

Litigation over the work at the Booker T. Washington Bchool may be the result of the action of the school board Friday night in refusing to allow any money to C. J. Kintz, the contractor, lor the work. Trustees John Harkness, George Greenleaf and Henry Schmidt were named as a committee to continue the investigation of the alleged discrepancies in the building. A special meeting of the board will be held Monday afternoon to discuss the matter.

The board refused to compromise the bill of Rodney W. Leonard, architect, for the proposed William B. McLean school. This 1b thought to be a step toward making Leonard, who drew the plans for the Washington school, a party in the suit which may be fllled in the case. Mr. Leonard put In a bill for three per cent of the lowest bid for the work, which was $192,000. Mrs. S. C. Stimson moved that the board allow Mr. Leonard $4,400 for the work but this motion was lost by the votes of Trustees Schmidt, Harkness and Greenleaf. It is expected a board of arbitration will be selected Monday to consider the Washington school matter.

List Discrepancies.

Ora D. Davis, attorney for the board, reported that he had submitted a list of the alleged discrepancies to the contractors but had received no reply. Mr. Davis reported Mr. Leonard to be willing to discount his bill of $5,700 for $4,700, but this offer was refused by the board.

Neither Mr. Kintz dr Mr. LeohtLrd would discuss the action of the board. "I have not been officially informed of the board's aotion," said the architect. "Until I hear from it I will have nothing to say. "I do not know what action the board took and if I did I would have nothing to say," said Mr. Kintz.

C. J. Waits, superintendent of schools, reported Wiley and Garfield students opposed to holding a joint commencement. A special effort will be made to have the two schools merge their exercises, and Mr. Waits will be asked for a report at the next board meeting.

Albert Allen, business director of the city schools, read a letter from the state board of accounts in which Gilbert Hendron, the state epcaminer, said he believed it to be illegal for the board to allow a commission for the sale of bonds. He says the law provides all bonds to be sold at par. This objection can be overcome by paying a commission out of the special fund, members of the board say.

The board set Tuesday, April 20, as the date for the annual examination of the school buildings. The trip to the buil'dings will be made, in automobiles.

Summer Scheol This Year The inspector of buildings and grounds was instructed to investigate the conditions of the drinking fountains at the Rea, Fairbanks, Deming and Thompson schools, when Herbert Briggs, director of vocational education, reported they were in bad condition. Bernard Clogston knd Miss Hanley, teachers at the Garfield high school, were allowed $100 for their services as athletic coaches at the school.

The board voted to hold summer school this year. Trustees Harkness, Greenleaf and Mrs. Stimson favored the summer schools, while the others opposed the plan.

HOROSCOPE.

•tfce itiri Incline, but do not cooaprl." Copyright, 1916, by the McCiure

Newsi&per Syndicate.)

Sunday, April 18, 1915.

The seers read this as a fortunate day for traveling and visiting friends. Mercury and Uranus are both In benefic aspect and the rule is particularly favorable for meetings between strangers.

Writers should benefit greatly in the next few months as the stars promise extraordinary achievements. An American woman will do wonders in presenting war facts to the world, the seers predict.

A London astrologer prophesies that the United States will achieve a first place in the world through an unexpected event in history that is to be made this year.

On this day architects should be exceedingly fortunate. Foreign commissions and extraordinary demands on them are foreshadowed.

The sway is deemed most favorable for achievements of a minor commercial character. Small enterprises should prosper.

Students are under the best possible direction at this time. .They have the prognostication of success in all their large ambitions. Those who are to be graduated this year have a better prospect of fame and success than alumni of any previous year since 1865.

Speechmaking is well aspected today. The lecture platfprm will assume a new significance next autumn, It is foretold. Young women as well as young men will attain influence.

The signs governing the drama are encouraging, but there is persistent prognostication that the old order of things will pass away. Reform tendencies are strong. Rural theatres are to be widespread and actors will develop in farming communities, the seers foretell.

Persons whose birthdate it is should watch their money during the coming year. Young widows will probably marry.

Children born on this day have the augury of happy life. They are likely to be careless in money matters, but they will not want. These subjects of Aries are on the cusp and should have certain Taurus qualities.

On to Themselves.

"Pa," asked little Willie, looking up from his book, "what's a 'mis-an-thro-pist?'" "A misanthropist," replied his pa, "is the sort of fellow who, after catching himself cheating at soilitaire, decides that all men are liars and frauds."— Louisville Times. -Cs
