CITY GOVERNMENT AND THE PAY ENVELOPES In his speech at the Glen under the auspices of the labor organizations yesterday. Will Reller made some excellent points. His insistence on the relation of civic conditions to the buying power of wages should be of interest to every one. no matter what he gets in his pay envelope. It Is a hard matter to make many men realize until they actually get up against It, that good city government makes the money at the end of the week go farther. It is equally hard to realize that trie price of gas, the price of water, the price of electricity, and house rent fho Rimnllra nf thA ffrrufr trrn. ceries, all of them depend on the kind of government, the honesty and methods employed by officials. ' The man who has no property, as Mr. Reller brought out, is not immune from taxes. As a matter of fact he may suffer even more than the owner of tLo property. And as taxes are of various sorts city, township, state and county it Is not alone a matter of city government The city government is of course, the one which the average man has most control over and the one which can be most affected, as a rule, by public opinion. The city government has also to do, as Mr. Reller pointed out, with the rates of charges" of public service corporations. Many a man who will not take the trouble to interest himself in good government and public affairs will spend an hour grumbling about the price he must pay for his water. It is only when callousness to affairs begins to come out of his pocket that the man takes notice. In his criticisms on present conditions Mr. Reller did not make the mistake of stopping without suggesting a remedy of proved success to take the place of the thing he criticised. And what he proposed is not a new thing to tiie men he was addressing. For the Des Moines plan of city government with its features of recall, initiative and referendum have been tenets , held by organized labor for some little while. In this remedy, as far as can be judged from this distance, Mr. Reller Is correct in our opinion. We have already expressed our interest in the Des Moines plan, and the kindred forms of commission government where they are in force. It Is significent that Indiana cities are already going toward that goal as the establishment of the Board of .Works with greater authority, in the last few years, shows. Whether the Des Moines plan Is feasible or not, whether it is ever adopted or, not, the connection, between good government and the pay avelope is undeniably the same. ULTIMA THL'LE The North Pole will soon rival Atlantic City as a spring refuge if people do not stop discovering it. Two Americans have made the Grand Tour now, if we are to believe the press dispatches; What with " Cook ; and Peary It will soon be overcrowded. We place no credence in the assertion of Abe .Martin of the Indianapolis News that Cook has brought back a pole cat-"-though that might be unmistakeable polar evidence. We are still waiting with impatience for some en terprising confection dispenser to announce that he made the gum drops with which Cook bribed the Eskimo to show aim the pole, i But we seeno reason to believe that Cook and Peary did not reach the last point in Ultima Thule.v It is true that. Julius Caesar some years ago reported in his memoirs that be hrd sighted .the islands, Farthest

North. But time has since withered his laurels. Christopher Columbus underwent the same carping criticism which met Cook on his return. No discovery of any importance has been unattended by the anvil chorus. That is merely disgruntled human nature aroused at being disturbed. Of course how could any man who has been on the ground and spent twenty years of his life in preparation a mere arctic expert who has braved the icy north be expected to know anything about it? Already the editorial writers on many large papers have discovered that Wilbur and Orville Wright can manipulate their flying machine although they criticised them severely for not giving out information about it. Several years ago before the days of the Lusitania and even before the days of the Savannah in 1819 one of the scientists in congress produced accurate fisures to prove that a steamship could never cross the ocean. He proved without a shadow of a doubt that a ship could never be built which was big enough, to carry coal enough, to make steam enough, to take the ship across the little pond. This is now being done every little while in just about the same time that it takes the fliers to cross the continent from New York to San Francisco 4 days and 12 hours. All of which has everything to do with the North Pole and Dr. Cook's admirers.

SCHOOL DA YS Already the book store people are widening their aisle space for the semi-annual rush to get books. Already is the small boy fearful to be blase in his manner lest his mother make that time worn moth eaten remark "Well youll have something to do when school opens." Already the freckle faced freshman is either being rushed for some fraternity at the university or else enquiring anxiously as to the method of procedure to obtain the coveted pledge button. Soon with pride he will be strutting into the shops getting his equipment for the ordeal and scrutiny of college attended by his fond mamma who will beam in kindly fashion when the shoe clerk makes the "They will grow up won't they?" It will not be long till he returns a real college devil. Some few escape the disease but Ad am ate the apple. In the meantime father is reading catalogs and delving into the maze of electives and major and minor courses. He gives sound, paternal advice and wishes that he might have the 'opportunity that he is giving his son'- but the chances are that papa would make just as big a fool out of himself as Bub will. Bub (and father) will soon learn that the masterpieces of fiction were not written by the men in the histories of literature but by freshmen to their fathers. All of which is a considerable part of the "Uplift." Items Gathered in From Far and Near Baltimore's Rat War. From the Baltimore Sun. In pursuance of the suggested crusade against rats, a member of the cit y council will at an early date introduce an ordinance to this end. Three ways of ridding the city of this species of rodents are brought forward, the first being ratproof construction, the second the cutting off of their food supply by requiring all garbage to be deposited by householders in rat proof cans, and the third by killing them outright. Of the advisability of exterminating rats there can be little ques tion, because they, or the flees on them are purveyors of disease. Infectious diseases are sometimes communicate! in a mysterious manner. The mystery disappears when it is considered that rats pass unobserved by night from house to house, scattering fleas and the disease germs which the fleas harbor. The value of rats as scavengers is far outweighed by their activity, as disseminators of disease, to say nothing of the damage they do to the carefully managed premises and the immense amount of foodstuffs which they consume. Forty-Foot Suburban Lota. From the Indianapolis News. Real estate agents of this city ought to get together and put a stop to the forty-foot lot business in the suburbs. Indianapolis is a flat city, with room for expansion in all directions. Land is not so dear in the suburbs but that the average land owner may have a large lot and not be limited to the dimensions which prevail down town. Densely built suburbs, with houses at Intervals of thirty or forty feet, will soon have little advantage over a down town community. Nobody is more interested financially in this very thing than real estate agents and they can largely control. They- at least ought to use their Influence in behalf of large lots in rural regions. A fifty-foot lot is more than, 25 per cent better than a forty-foot lot. The difference between the country and city Is in the air spaces, trees and gardens. There ought .to be opportunity" for these if the suburbs are to maintain their distinctive qualities. Let Us Have Peace. From the Iron Trade Review. One bright spot Illuminating the otherwise gloomy Industrial period following the financial panic that broke Just two years ago, has been the happy

relations between employers of labor and their employes. Drawn closer together than any time during the previous years of prosperity,, marred by strife and contention and characterized by a heartier spirit of co-operation, these mutually helpful relations bid fair to continue at least through the autumn and into the winter. Why may they not continue indefinitely? Why should they fade under the influence of the sun of prosperity, when developed and hastened toward glorious maturity amid the lowering clouds of adversity.

When you go. home and meet a crowd of constituents there is nothing like a brass band to take their minds off the explanations they have been looking for."

"It is, becoming more so than formerly," answered the Englishman. "There is no telling what moment an airship may droy upon you." Practical Assistance. "Do you think that Greek has much value In modern education?" "Certainly," answered the young man with a college hat; "the Greek alphabet enables a man to know what frat he belongs to."

TEACHERS SCORE POINT ON BOARD New Paris Pedagogues Dismiss Students and Go to County Institute. BOARD TURNED THEM DOWN WHEN THEY ASKED THAT THE SCHOOL OPENING BE POST'PONED SO THEY TOOK LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS. New Paris, O., Sept. 7. The teachers and the township school board clashed yesterday when the former absolutely refused to -teach school this week, although the board emphatically ordered that the schools should open on September 6. The controversy between the teachers and school board grew out of the fact that all of the teachers desired to attend the teachers institute at Eaton this week. Last Saturday the teachers met with the board consisting of John Purviance; Alva Marshall, L. D. Bragg, Estey Kimmel and Moffet Engle. They explained the situation and requested that the opening of school be postponed another week in order to permit them to attend the institute. The board refused to grant their request so the -teachers resolved to take the matter into their own hands and "play hookey" this week. School began according to orders yesterday morning and a feature not on the program tended to jossle somewhat the members of the township school board. All of the nine teachers immediately dismissed their classes, and went to the institute anyway just to show the board that they were interested in the affair and also to gratify their own desire for the institute $10. The board waxed very wrathy over this radical action on the part of the teachers and threatened all sorts of unpleasant things, even saying that they would withhold their salary. And in the meantime the small boy rejoices and the tax payer frowns. MAY BE A LUNATIC William Hawkins, colored, was arrested this morning by Patrolman Vogelsong -on South Ninth and E street, and taken to police headquarters where he was held for safe keeping. It Is believed that Hawkins is an escaped lunatic although he declares that he has never been in an asylum and refuses positively to state where his home is. His queer actions caused general alarm in the vicinity of South Ninth street, where he is alleged to have threatened to kill several persons. The man was . not armed. The authorities here are holding him in custody while they are notifying several insane institutions in the surrounding country. Appi ... o...i.,u Rome. The first ufchters in the theaters of ancient Rome were much more punctilious in the matter of aplause than modern audiences are. When the Roman theater goers were fairly well satisfied vrHh a play they applauded by snapping with the thumb and middle finger. If they wanted the actors to undersUt-d that they were really satisfied with the performance they clapped loudly by beating the left fingers on the right band. A more hearty token of approval was given by striking the flat palms of the bands against each other. . Ayer's Sarsapahlla is a tonic. It does not stimulate.

in the budget The executive branch of the present administration which is democratic in politics has always opposed the appropriation, on the grounds that it was not legal. The legislative branch, which Is republican has always made the appropriation by passing it over Mayor Schillinger's veto. Another scrap over the legality of the appropriation is expected as the two branches of the city government have considered the appropriation in such a manner three times. The only real and serious difficulties which the two branches have had while in office has resulted over the hospital appropriation. Clever Gainsborough.
