THE CHICAGO CHARTER.

The opponents of tho Chicago charter generally admit the necessity of It, but oppose It on the grounds of Its objectionable features. Chicago long has been the victim of antiquated municipal forms of government. Conflicting authorities and useless expenditure. With separate city, township and park organizations, the cystem Is worse than confusing. Realizing the needs of a new charter, a constitutional amendment was submitted to the voters of Illinois at the general election held In 1904, and the proposition to give Chicago a new charter was carried overwhelmingly. Not only In Chicago but in the entire state of Illinois. The legislature in passing the new charter law last spring did so after the fullest discussion. Every civic association of Importance in Chicago, many financial, educational and religious associations sent representatives to Springfield, to aid the legislature and give the members the benefit of their experience, study and observations. Finally the law was passed and Is now submitted to the voters for ratification. The law proposes to consolidate in the government of the city the powers now vested In the local authorities and unite them with the city of Chicago. It does away with the old useless township organization with its loose methods and needless expense. It unites with the city government the park boards. It provides a systematized and uniform method of taxation. It gives Chicago the absolute relief it is suffering for street cleaning and Improvement. It does away with tho old worn-out methods of 1S37 and substitutes methods equal to the emergencies of 1907. It provides for a better city council and fixes the responsibilities of legislation upon a single member from each ward. It provides for a referendum vote of the people upon the adoption of any Important franchise, like tho present Chicago telephone franchise or street car muddle, a feature alone of Immense value to the taxpayer. It gives relief to the school problem and provides means to properly care for and educate the young of Chicago. It preserves the health of the city and enlarges the powers of the health department. It provides for the municipal ownership or control of the public utilities, such as water, gas and electric lights. It preserves the civil service laws and Insures better service In all public de

partments of the city government. Among Its supporters are found the people whose Interests are greatest In Chicago. Those who year in and year out

devote their time and talent to make a greater, cleaner, more habitable and prosperous city. Its opponents are asking for an ideal charter, something, always to be desired but never attained..

The present charter is the result of years of agitation, labor and zeaL

It may have its defects, but it Is nevertheless true it comes nearest to

answering the needs of a great city than anything yet attempted, and is

Infinitely better than any law Its opponents suggest. Under its provisions

the city will be better and more intelligently governed, and the interests of

the teoDle better safe guarded. It is In short an instrument of modern

methods instead of the antiquated systems. It reflects the sentiments and conditions of 1907, whereas the present 6ystem represents the system of 1S37. Every one In favor of a greater Chicago and the instrumentalities of carrying into effect the means of establishing a greater Chicago should vote for Its adoption. VALUE OF THE BUSINESS MEN'S CLUB.

But It was not to be, and although they missed all kinds of easy flies and did not even attempt to stop a grounder, the game went six inningrs and the ecore 10 to 0 shows how

The South Chicago Business Men's club has nothing tangible to show aja 'a result of Its meeting last Wednesday evening and yet results of the meeting are likely to be far-reaching and record will show at the most the appointment committee to look into tho proposed drainage question for the Calumet region, and discussions on track elevations, telephone franchise and sanitary condl- , tions, etc. The value of these discussions of the Business Men's club cannot be over estimated. They make the people of South Chicago acquainted with existing conditions, as to what has been accomplished In the rast through united effort and what may be expected In the future after having profited by past experiences. South Chicago will never come into its own until it knows what it may ask for by right. Once it knows what it needs the South

Chicago Busines Men's club will know how to go about it in order to get what it wants. Tho city of Chicago and the big corporations having franchises through this district must take heed of what this end of the city has to cay. South Chicago la a vital factor in the making of the great metropolis but not until its taxpayers know what they can have and until they realize what a power they possess will they get what they aro entitled to. Neither cities nor corporations give anythipg unless it is to their direct profit or unless they are forced to do so. Chicago and its operating corporations are no exceptions and to this principle may be layed the cause that South Chicago is still lacking many improvement that it should have had years ago. But first of all Its people must know what they want and how much they are entitled to. They must learn this for themselves and the discussions such as were carried on in the South Chicago Business Men's club meeting will teach them. The meeting of last Wednesday may not have had any direct results and many more In the future may be of a similar nature, but it is safe to say that they will solve many problems in the future, provided the people, especially the business men of the community take an interest in the meetings and support the club in its effort to make a greater and better and cleaner South Chicago.

It was kind of mean for the Browns to turn on our friends the Sox, on the last day of their visit, but that was

just what happened yesterday and the score was 3 to 0. The Sox made as many hits as the Browns, but they were unable to lean on the ball when a hit would have meant a run. Jones

used half a dozen extra men in his efforts to win, but it was of no avail. And the funny part of it was Doo White got his in the first Inning when two of the runs were scored. White has gone a long distance without losing a game but he was touched up j-esterday. He was quickly removed and Altrock went in. He held the Browns down to three hits and no runs in the next five innings, then Patterson went in for one inning and at last "Walsh took a turn. The game was replete with stirring accidents and the fans enjoyed every minute.

Seattle, "Wash., Sept. 13. Secretary

Taft and party finally set sail for the

Orient this (Friday, Sept. 13) afternoon.

when the big steamship Minnesota pulled out from the dock at Smith's

cove, sixty-eight hours behind sched

ule.

Accompanying the secretary were

Thomas J. O'Brien, American ambassa

dor to Japan; P. A. Jay, secretary of the American embassy at Tokio;

Thomas Burke, commissioner general of

the Yukon-Pacific exposition, and Michael F. Backus, member of the exposition committee. Trouble with the steering appartus caused the delay. Boat Is Delayed. Secretary Taft boarded the Minnesota yesterday at 11 o'clock, and said goodby to the officials of the chamber of commerce and of the Yukon-Pacific exposition. He confidently expected to sail at noon. At the hour the quartermaster aboard the ship hung out

the sign, "Ship sails at 1 p. m.," and

everybody was prepared accordingly. A little while later the positive an nouncement was given that the Mln

nesota would sail at 3 p. m., and signs were posted on all the gang, planks to that effect. Passengers were ordered

aboard and every preparation was made

for sailing. Walts Till Friday, the 13th. Meanwhile the mechanics were work

and so It came about that when tho leviathan of the Hill company started her prow toward the Orient, she had

waited until Friday, the 13th day of the month, and at that the ninth month

of the year.

Superstitious people are making all sorts of predictions as a result of the "hoodoo" number connected with the

start for tho Orient, ono being that the United States and Japan will be at war before tha year 1 out.

Ruelbach was the whole show at the West Side yesterday where his pitching and his hitting won the game for the Cubs with the aid of Chance.

resolution provides for arbitration of

all disputes between public utilities companies and employes, and make3 it compulsory when not voluntarily agreed upon by the parties in the controversy by making it a part of all ordinances conveying rights and privileges to individuals or corporations wishing to operate public utilities. President Fischer believes that the plan if adopted will work no hardship to the unions involved and will protect the conveniences of the public. New York.
