The short i,a!k t movement is a growing one. Its purpo-o is to urgo the ejection of but few others, give thm !arg- duties and large responsibilities, to hold them strictly accountable for the acts of all the other officers of the city who are appointed by them. This) Is the system used in every business house, to ohoo.-e a few cxt c-utlv-s who are held accountabh for the work of all the meii they hire. South I'.end is well advanced in this progressive movement. ur people at th- present election choo.-.' but one executive officer, one Judicial officer, one clerical officer and four legislative officers. Kaeh voter Is to select three men amonp the candidate Hi lare for council and votes not on the full list of candidates for ward councilmen, but only for one of the candidates in his own ward, with whom he is presumed to he, and usually is, personally acquainted. In the man we select as mayor lies th- responsibility of sebctinp a city controller to watch the city's finances, a city attorney to conduct the city's IoKal activities. a board of public works and a city engineer, to one board to plan city improvements, the official to carry them out. He selects a board f public safety to look after police and tire protection, and appoints a chief of police and the lire chief. He names the board to look after schools and libraries. He names the park board. With the power to appoint ocs the power to remove unwise appointments if made. If any incompetency develops, the mayor is empowered to correct it at once. He is the responsible head of the city government, to him may be carried complaints of difficulties in any department, and he has the power to adjust them. He is iven wide authority and with him in the final analysis lies the character of the city's administration. We are fortunate that we do not have to eh ct all these minor officials, to have to sift out the ood and bad, the capabie and incapable anions; a core. or three score unknown and clamorous a s p i ra n t s. Likewise the form of government that we have entails a deeper responMbility on the voter. He must choose his maj or well. For the mayor is the keystone of the entire arch. If he is weak or incompetent, his weakness and inco:nietency will be rcedeted through every branch of the government. Wo must choose well Wednesday. sTKiN(;r.cY rm:r.sTALLi:i.

Fiflv millions of dollars of govern ment money art disposal of the to br placed at the great crop growing . tactions, the south and west, to meet the emergency of moving their products to market. This crop moving period is a critical time with the farmer. He must have ready money to pay the expense of harvesting, threshing, storing and marketing his product. The mergem y creates a demand upon the hanks which they are not alwas prepared t meet, and ai times serious bs s result. iv c. McAdoo has taken the bull by the horns by arranging to distribute a large sum of money oer the states needing it. apportioning the amount according to the requirements of each and making, the funds available through two or three of the business centers of each state. The plan adopted by the secretary of the treasury pro:niss to be more effective than thosr-heretofore resorted t' to relieve th" financial pressure at crop moving time.

The bad effects on business of money scarcity is thus otbviated and the country will pass smoothly through a period that is always more or less, critical. ltKiins or Tin-; pithlic. It should not he possible for any person to truthfully make the complaint embodied by J. Alvin Scott of Mishawaka in a communication to The News-Times that "the uselessness of complaining to the (street railway) company is well known". The company should not only willingly hear complaints but give them all due consideration. The thing complained of by Mr. Scott in his communication to The News-Times was the act of a conductor who refused to run his car to the end of the north side route and compelled his passengers to alight at Main and Second sts., Mishawaka, in a pouring rain. The conductor's excuse, grudgingly given, was that the car was a special and had reached the end of its scheduled run. The- conductor may "have been well within his rights when he stopped the car at the point indicated, but he erred when he did not make known to his passengers before leaving South Pend that his car would not run through to the end of the line. The passengers boarded the car under the presumption that it would carry them to their several destinations and were not advised to the contrary until compelled to leave it in the rain and wait fifteen minutes for another car. It is not the sole purpose of street car companies to conduct their business for the pecuniary profit nor for the convenience of their employes. The main purpose of granting franchises to these corporations is to convenience the public. When the company or its employes fail in this respect they fall short of the purpose for which the company is permitted to exist. In this instance the conductor could doubtless have obtained an order to run his car to the end 'of the line by telephoning -headquarters, but he did not care to discommode himself to that extent. The easiest way for him was to turn his passengers out into the rain, anil he followed it. The least the company can do is to discipline him for his neglect of duty to his passengers. In Pennsylvania it is necessary to answer forty-eight questions before one can get a marriage license, but one more important than all others is omitted. The applicants are not required to show a certificate of physical purity. What's this? Great Britain and Germany not to exhibit at the Panama exposition? Look's like a boycott on a big scale. Well, we 'can have quite a show all by ourselves and take our time getting even with our foreign neighbors. The Chicago father who shot a man accused by his little daughter was justified in his own mind despite the failure of a jury to convict. He may hae made a mistake, but he doesn't feel that wav. The return of Mrs. Young as superintendent of the Chicago schools is a "mark of regeneration. Chicag is pulling out of the political mire anwoman is lining most of the pulling. Col. Mulhall ilidn't show a dent after the N. A. M. lawyers got through with their cross-examination. If there are any soft places in the colonel's armor they are yet to be discovered. The strikers Calumet made it warm for the sheriff pose by using hot water and pepper. For short range work these weapons are quite effective. Peddlers who are able to sell smoked shoulders for hams are perhaps justified in the rascality by the uns.tphistication of their victims. c. Garrison's plan to give the idle soldiers something to do to tU them for civil life has the ring of common sense. With the use of Sec. McAdoo's famous little lubricator the crops will move without friction. Just by way of variety Castro has started something in Venezuela. Here's hoping he doesn't finish. Troubles thicken for the T.-T. combination. More disappointments coming. Cheaper schoolbook help solve the problem of the century, the high cost of living.

Whosoever liall exalt himself .-hall Io 1 1 imt IIm1 : and whosoever diall uimM,. him-clf hall be exalted. .Matt. 2.1:11!. PUIP1I AND 1 1 I'M I LIT Y. I. Pride N Pool Mi no. No man' in his senses, if he will stop to think, and will follow his reasoning, will ! ever be proud, for he will see that he ! has nothing to boast of. All we are, and all we have, are the results of causes outside of ourselves. No matter what a man's wealth, or ability, he is indebted to others and especially to God, for the great influence which his prominence enables him to wield. For example what were you one hundred ytars ag3? No one then thought anything of you nor were you ever missed. What -ind where will you be one hundred years hence? Who will then miss you in this world? God brought us out of nothingness into our present life and conditions, and we are his debtors for absolutely everything. How foolish therefore it is for a mortal to be proud! When he awakens from his delusion he will find himself greatly humbled even in his own estimation, and every other influence which has helped to produce conditions for us as they are now, are the result of the love and care of others and leave us no room for boasting. Who is it that perpetuates our lives" Who keeps oip heart beating? Who preserves us in health? Surely the answer to these questions should product in us a sense of great humility, which in turn would bring a true exaltation. II. Pride Invites Contempt. A proud man or woman is the most despicable creature under the sun. Pride is an attempt to deceive others and ourselves; we want to appear better than we are; richer, of greater ability, of a nobler ancestry, and in short, to impress folks that we are of much I in,.,,,..,,-.,,, i tv.. , i importance in this world, and like a Proud peacock, we spread our feathers, lift high our heads, in expectation of the admiration of our fellow men. Instead of this, almost without exception, the proud receive the contempt and scorn of iheir fellows, and thus by exalting themselves become woefully humbled. The rich man. in the parable, strutted about with great pride when he saw how wealthy he was and how plentifully his fields had produced. He said he would pull down his old barns and build greater and there store the fruits of his land, and said to his soud, "Soul . ... take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry." but God said to him, "Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee." How contemptible men and women appear, who ape what they are not, and who to do this live beyond their means, dress beyond their station, live in houses for which they cannot pay, or when they have houses paid for mortgage them to buy an automobile so they may appear to be as great swells as the rich who indulge in such luxuries! How infinitely better are those who are content with what they have, who live their own lives in a natural way and neither desire nor pretend to be anything other than they actually are! III. Pride Iirln-s Humiliation. The proud are always laughed at behind their backs, even when people speak smilingly to them to their faces, and they are always running up auainst some sort of humiliating obstacle. It is very humbling to them when they are not praised, or when they appearto lie slighted, or when others are promoted over their heads, not to say ridiculed by honest people to their faces. It is rarely that a proud person is pleased with anybody or anything. He lives in an atmosphere of unreality, he expects too much and is ! always getting too little. There is not a day that he is not snubbed, or humiliated in some way, and he lives in a chronic condition of misery and discontent. The strange part is. notwithstanding all his rebuffs and humiliating experiences, that he keeps on in his attempt to deceive himself and others. He generally succeeds in deceiving himself I ut always fails to hoodwink others. IV. Humility Urines I'valtation. To think of ourselves no more highly than we ought to think is real humility, but it tends to self respect, to quietness and contentment, and above all, it brings the approval of God. God hates the proud, but he respects the humble, and those that humble themselves he always exalts. When we honor our superiors we are always honored by them; when we are kind and courteous to our equals they never fail to be kind and courteous to us; when we are mindful of the rights of our inferiors, and treat them with the same consideration which we expect from our superiors, we never fail to have proper deference shown us by those who are beneath us, nor to get the respect of those who are a!ove us. Realizing our own nothingness, and our entire dependence upon God and our fel.ows, we are able to utilize- the kindness which comes from our fellow men and to take on the power which God always bestows upon those who put their trust fully in him. v - v v', v"T ,- f y 2fi . LITTLE OLD NEW Y0PK IJY VOKMA.V NEW YORK. Aug. 1. A gray automobile darted through 4.Td st., turned north on.Cth av. and eluded its pursuers. At least a score of people saw the pray car start on its flight. Anion? them were several policemen. None of the policemen got the number of the car at least none of them reported it correctly to police headquarters. There was jut one man who did have keenness of vision, presence of mind and courage to get the- number of the car and report it to the police. This man was a vaudeville dancer. He was promptly locked up. The p. dice were quite at sea regarding the number of the car. They could not -ive i: to Dist. Atty. Whiteman, but Whitcman. somehow heard of the man who had been locked up. He obt lined the man's release and learned from him that the number of the car was 4 1 1 3 N. Y.

The M'n) y.ar old turtle just added

to the Central park zoo. New York, is probably contemporaneous with one we captured a number of years ago and carved the year 1200 A. I), on its back. We have been expecting every year that somebody would tind that turtle and sell it to some museum as a natural curiosity. We have no doubt turtles live to a great age. Scientists say they do and we have no reason to disbelieve it, hut we have never understood why a turtle's tenure of life should he so prolonged, unless it is that it takes the animal so long to get anywhere. GEOHGK CRANE has the result of the badger fight all figured out. SPEAKING of engines of death has anything got the little old onelung motorcycle beat within the range of its possibilities? NEWSPAPERS should he enjoined from dilating at length on extreme variations of the temperature. We are a temperamental and imaginative people and the way the boys dish up that hot weather stuff makes a fellow fairly sizzle. OF course, the followers of the newspaper weather reports have nothing to he compared with the fanaticism of the thermometer fan. ONE thing about the friendship of Great Britain. We can always rely on it as long as it is to Great Britain's Interest to have us do so. That "blood is thicker than water" fiction has been exposed on numerous occasions.

My Candidate for Mayor

BY ROBIN In the silly season, the business nan s.. . cy "snuy turns to mougn of politics. He wonders who would , , .. .1 iif "'""c better mayor t an H-.himelf. as a candidate or by denouncing all those who announce theirs. Strange as it may appear, I am not going to do the one or the othtr, so it' you are looking lor a roseate picture? of my own personality or an ill-favored caricature of my rival's, please pass on to the pages of announcements at once and save your eyes. The print here is much liner than there, besides this article has no cuts! My ideal candidate for mayor is: The Man Who Couldn't be Elected! There you see, I'm out of it at the start! The Man Who Culdn't Be Elected would make the best mayor South fcend ever had. He would start in by announcing his program: just like the others do, only his program would re o' somewhat diftercntly. He would state his intention of doing all he could to raise the thinking powers of his fellow citzens. He would propose to issue referendums on public questions, whether before the house or not. such as these: What books do you want added to the library? Do you favor a municipal art gallery? What pieces should the band play at the park? Do you admire Strindberg more than you do yhawV Shall we build a little theater for the production of realistic plays:. Who shall manage it and shall give American, English, Scandinavian, French or German plays? How much would you pay towards the movement or shall we levy an assessment for its support? How large a license do you think a saloon owned by a brewery ought to pay? Also how much should a disorderly house contribute when it is owned by a pillar of society? Shall we operate our own gas and electric light plants and run the street cars? What do you think of 50 cent gas. three cent lares? Are you willing to have your electric light bill cut in two? What is more important to the city, new factories or newschools. Do vou want the bible taught voiir kids? Or Monism? Do you "think children should be freed from conventionality, superstition, religion and dollar-worship, or do you want their creative instincts stifled Who is the better christian: the puritan mer police inspectors, are convicts serving sentences for grafting and conspiracy. A former police captain is dead of worry and remorse, following the exposures. Several more policemen, tried and convicted, are counting the hours until the doors of the penitentiary shall close behind them. Altogether, there have been sixteen convictions or pleas of guilty for murder, bribery, extortion and conspiracy, and at least six more convictions are regarded as probable, all as the outcome of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, gambler, by "the system", a rear ago this month, "the system" being the grafting clique in the police force and its allies in the underworld.

JIM LOUGH MAN has been in Anderson prison for several months and in Indiana politics for a good many year., hut this is the first time he has been called a "so-called." WE hope Harold F.

WE cannot agree with the Chinese statesman who pronounces the American girl over exposed and Uliier developed. When it comes to development it must be apparent to the most casual observer that the Chinese statesman has not looked. AFTER all, the big blow must have seemed mild to the denizens of Washington, the wind center of the country. AN editor devotes a column to "Eating as an Exact Science."

Who is the meanest man, the drunkard, the debauchee or the hypocrite? Also do you think baseball pool superior to golf? Howdo you prefer to buy your drink, by playing the slot machines or by shaking dice? Do you think South Bend would make a good town for a branch of the State University? Who will win the pennant, the Elliot Giants or the Gergacz Dwarfs? Do you favor taxing exempt property? Are you a single-taxer or a non-taxer? Do you believe in Science, in Socialism, in Ibsenism, and in Post-Futurism? Do you consider the stand-pipe artistic or does it lean a little to the west? Who was the greater man, Schuyler Colfax or David Leeper? Which is the best local paper? Also which one makes the most money? Who is the dumbest preacher in town? Also who is the smartest Aleck? Whom do you choose as best representative of our local culture, Bogus Charlie, Frank Seigfrod, or old. Doc Hool : Do you believe the river should always be j used lor sewage? Are you in favor of establishing a course of rationalistic lectures at the city hall? Do you vote for teaching scholars the wealth of our local joy riders or the wealth of surrounding nature? Do you believe all toad stools poisonous? Can you identify . the American Lepiota without the aid of an encyclopedia? How many glasses of Muessel bear are intoxicating? Also how many are fatal? Do you prefer Lt e M r or j r t 1 as a lawyer? Itlso would you lend money to either of them if your wife would let you? Do you believe in eating meat on Fridays or chicken? Which is the greatest summer resort, Chain Lakes or Hen Island? Is it more folly to talk sense than politics? Also, and lastly, Is it hot enough for you? After a fud discussion of these various subjects and a complete tabulation of the vote, the world would know where .South Bend stands on the imorntant ouestiohs of the day. But as I, have already said, the candidate who proposed' such a course would never get elected. in fact it is doubt ful even if his enfranchised wife would vote for him! So I guess we'll have to worry along with old Pat" Joyce as being the fartherest away from The Man Who Couldn't Be Elected! . The murderers, in a!l likelihood, would never have been caught, the whole gigantic process of law would never have been set in operation but for the one man the vaudeville dancer who caught the number 41313 on the murderers' car and gave it to the district attorney.
