'L'ndr our form of municipal government, vlth its varying condition ami porplincr fiirtnn, th ino.t that fan ho expected hi any administration Is that It shall do its lt to .verve the wholo community according to the wiMis of a majority of the people. "In doinfr this or In r pood faith rffort to accomplish thH remit, it i but natural that some, .f n1towlty, must he dh -ippointcd. It is within th rnncro of possibilities to .vMiufy all the prnpjr- part of the time; it rr.e without ..-ivlmr that ailmrst any offlcini ran satisfy some of the people all the tint ; hut it is not humanly possible to satisfy fil' the people n tho tlm.

"Therefore, it Is the duty f municipal officials to ende, i or to imrlain the desires, w ishes and reiuiremTtf of a majority of ths vliose servants thoy arc, ani put frth their bent efforts to serve, n'epin? constantly in mind that the E-rcat majority of the people are usually right on uny preat public lUe.stlon.

When they fall therefor; to gain popular applause, when they ?ail to phiai-p, It Is. in a very high yerrcntafre of cat;e3. an error of Judgment a failure to properly and forrcctly Interpret th public will. nu5lne Xot Politics.

little faith in men who pride themselves that they have no political party. Every citizen should study politics and become a politician in the broader and higher meaning. of the word. I could not conscientiously support a man for high government or state office who refused to align himself with some political party. I have no patience whatever with those so-called individuals who are constantly preaching about the rottenness of all political parties and for that reason hold themselves aloof from all parties. "While I am a republican. I have the greatest respect for an honest. straight-forward, dyed-in-the-wool oppponent. I have the utmost contempt. however, for that class of misguided citizens vho, because they disapprove of some of the things done or not done by party leaders, assume a 'holier than thou' attitude and abstain from the contaminating influence of party politic, if polities! is rotten, if your party need cleaning up. get into it and help clean house. Don't stay away from the caucus or the ( onvei, '.loris-. r the primary election and then kick about the qualifications of the nominees on the ticket. Help put the best men on the right ticket and then help elect t hern. "Hut party politics does not apply to and ih not so necessary in city affairs as in state and national ati.iirs. Therefore. I .believe that f ity government should be conducted along business and not along strictly politir-al lines. Must Have Vision. "In laying the foundation for the building of a city, men and women of 5. rad vision and mature Judgment should tike the initiative. Their ideas will frequently meet with opposition. Their proposals will often be the targets for ridicule. Th' y may bo called visionary, ex-traaget-,t S1nd incompetent, but they should have the courage of their eonvirtions and not deviate from the oourr-e they know to be right to avoid unjust criticism. "The necessities of a city are so numerous and manifold that it hardly seems appropriate for me to attempt to go into details regarding ur schools. prks. playgrounds, sanitation, health, safety, expansion, conservation, police and fire protection. I,aw enforcement those arul many other questions are before us all the time, and it is hard to determine whieh, if any, are of greater importance than the others. AH necessary to complete the municipal fa brie. "I do. however, wish to call your attention to a coliseum which is needed in thiy city. It should be a place dedicated to the common welfare, a meeting place for the discussion of public questions. Controversy is born of a. misapprehension and misapprehension Js born of a lack of understa ndinir. Muring our street car strike three parties suffered the company, the strikers and the public. nee.iuse the public is an interested party, all questions affecting its welfare should be publicly discussed. There should be a forum erected by taxation where all classes of people will feel free to assemble and deliberate on questions of tho day. lias Workttl Hani. "During tho past two years the present administration of which I have the honor to be the head, has endeavored to give to each and every department or class such attention as its immediate necessities required. That we have not been able to do everything that we would like to do goes without saying, but I would like to propond one question

to this body of broad-minded business men, and that is what has been done during the past two y?ars that you would like to have undone? "Would you if you could have any of the 13 miles of pavement that have been laid torn up'.' Would you like to have any of the eight miles of sowers removed? Would you have any of the r:rw- water mains present or prospective, closed? Would you hive any of the new motorized fire equipment returned? Would you have tho traffic polic and the present efficient traffic system abolished? Would you have the negotiations for track elevation and the removal of the Grand Trunk from Division st. with the provports of a union depot, rescinded? The water works, the one municipally owned utility has be a put entirely upon a meter system so that every v,ater user pays for his proportional share of punipage. Would you have the meter system abolished? A ready to serve charge has been made against all fire protected factories, bringing into tho water department treasury over J44.2SG per year. Would you have this action repealed. These and many other important things have bomi accomplished. Would ycu have nny of the mundono? Destructive criticism is never helpful. Constructve criticism Is alway usefill and should he welcomed by every honest official. "The water system of South Bend has been ho outgrown that at the time it is entirely inadequate to supply the domestic needs of the citj-, to say nothing of affording tiro protection and. with the additional increase in the requirements due to the Studebaker and Oliver developments alonp the higher section of the city, it will be Impossible to furnish them a supply either for domestic; cor. .sumption or for tire proteetion unless vital changes and additions are at once made in the system. Should Study Ss-trm. "It is evident that there has never been a study made of our distribution system and provision made for i?s expanio.i with tho growth of tho city. Small size pipes have been laid where largo feeder mains should have been installed. Auxiliary suply and feeder mains are most noticeahle by thoir scarcity. In places, feeder malnrf are supplied by smaller pipes. "Several hundred feet of nix-inch pipe (the smallest size recognized by the underwriters) is used as a feeder into one of the most valuable i'ictricts of the city. Tho economical eight, and 12-inch pipe is used Hcarcely anywhere in the system. Some rf tho machinery has long outlived its usefulness, although it is still maintained to prevent an enormous overloading and complete breakdown of our north station. ' Pm se conditions are not due particularly to recent circumstances but are merely emphasized by the present developments. The whole distribution .system has just grown and co particular expenditure lias been made witH a view of how the work would affect future expansion Wants UooMor Station. "The populating of the nouth section of the city, where the elevation of the ground is more than 100 feet above the business section, makes it imperative to adopt a system of 'booster s tation' to raise the water to this section without 'blowing up the water mains in the business district and residential section adjacent thereto.

Tin this Year is Milder The rubs given above, recommended by the Xew York City Hoard of Health, are guides to good health at all times. Particularly should they be followed just now, when influenza is again abroad in the land. Authorities agree, however, hat tho flu this year is less severe than in the last epidemic the attacks are shorter and the death rate ltwer. In fact, many physicians insist that the epidemics now being- reported from so many sections are not flu at all, but simply the old-fashioned grip. Keep the Air Tassagvs Healthy While we know very little more about the flu now than we did last year the germ itself has. noer been positively identified still most authorities agree that the flu perms aro breathed in. If the system is in good shape and tho membrane or lining of the air passages is In healthy condition these germs are thrown off. A j-ood plan is to melt a little Vick's VapoRub in a spoon, night and morning, and inhale tho vapors, also apply a little up tho nostrils several times a day, especially Just before being expesed to crow d.-. Treat All Colds Promptly Above all, keep free from cole!?, as colds irritate the lining of the air passages and make them real brooding grounds for serins. Prompt use vi Yick's Vapollub aiJs in preventing colds. For head colds, sore throat or hoarseness, rub Yicks w . 11 over tho throat and ehest and cover with a warm ll.iimol cloth. b"or deep chest cold.-. sero oro throat or bronehiiK hot wet towels should first

be applied to the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades, to open the pores. Then Vicks should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red spread on thickly and covered with two thicknesses of hot rlannel cloths. Ivoave the clothing loose around tho neck, so the vapors released by the body heat may lc freely inhaled. These vapors, inhaled with each breach, carry the meafcation directly to the luncrs and air passages. At the same time Vicits Is absorhed thru and stimulates the kin. thus aiding to relieve the congestion within.

when the saale is applied to the

body heat these ingredients arc liberated in the form of vapors. Yicks is particularly recommended for children's croup or colds, since it is externally applied and therefore can be used freely and often without the slightest harmful effects. The best evidence of the value cf Vicki Is the steadily increasing number of people who have been converted to the use of this "outside" treatment. Prsrinning with the customers of a small retell drug ttore, the use of Yicks has grown year by year state by state until row more then 17 million jars are ;sed annually. .nd this In spite of the fart that Yicks Is a new form of treatment to many folks in the .crth and West.

We must build now for the future South Rend for our sons and our grandson.. "We must realize that the industries of South Rend are its mo-t valuable assets ( to its merchants, its professonal men and to each industrial citizen. "Without these industries South Rend would be a simple rural community with low real estate values; with small buying; power; and without vision. "The manufacturer gains because by increased production he is able tsecure an increased volume of profit but this profit comes almost entirely from the outside world. The merchants, tho professional men am' citizens aro the ones who benefit locally by the growth of industry. "We are facing- right now expansion plans that will materially increase South Rend population and yet industries cannot get the required labor primarily because we cannot offer that labor a pood place to live. South Bend must build homes, because the working man's family must be taken into very s -riou3 consideration. We cannot induce skilled labor to come to South Rend and leave comfortable homes for makeshift dwellings except in ono way; and that is b offering it such hik'h rate of wajres that Mm living conditions will be 'ost siht of. "Certainly this is nit a healthy condition to develop. "We want permanent eitzens. we want borne owners, wo want to increase our population on a permanent basis no do not want a floating population. "And a permanent eituenshr can be held by buibline; pood homes and by making our city attentive to outside workmen. If wi- do tin-, the growth of South Rend will not stop with the present expansion

Produces and Saves With only 6 of the world's population and only 7 of the land, the United States produces: 20 of the world's gold. 25 of the world's wheat; 40 of the world's iron, steel, and and silver; 50 of the world's zinc and coal; 60 of the world's aluminum, copper and cotton; 75 of the world's corn; 85 of the world's automobiles. YET America's savings, per capita, is pitifully small when compared with the savings of people in countries where production and wages are not nearly so high as we are favored with.
