We don't want to say anything that
will tend to discourage the alderman
from Ward 4 in his laudable ambition to
get labor out of politics. but it seems
necessary to suggest that the gentle
mans method of getting labor out OF
politics is not likely to accomplish the
object he has so much at heart. II nc
persons except such non-partisan gen
tlemen as Ward is accustomed to con-
tribute to the city government could get
on the committee which is to have in
charge the employment of labor il
might be perfectly safe to entrust il
with the widest discretion, for moth
ing but fitness would count
with committee SO made uI
and the suggestion Of politics would
be sternly frowned upon. But all the
wards are not filled with non-partisans
and it may happen that some gentlemen
may get on the committee who are moi
sufficiently advanced reformers to re
alize the wickedness of Introducing poll
tics. For this reason we think it vii
be wise to confne the committees dis
erection as it was confined in the rules
as originally drawn, and if the gentle
man from Ward 4 will consult will
some of the aldermen and eouncilmeI
who come from wards in which Their
are politics and politicians we have ne
doubt he will come to the same conclu
sion. He has been misled by taking ,
higher view of humanity than tn
existing state of civilization outside 0
Ward justifes.

The administration believes that the
income tax law is going to be sustained
in all it's essential features. The wish
NAV be father to the thought in this case,
or it may be that the President and
Secretary Carlisle have got some tips.
The postponement Of the announcement
of the decision, if one has been reached,
as is generally believed, would seem to
be straw pointing to decision IN
-favar of the law, for it is reasonable to
suppose that decision against the law
would be made known speedily in or

people from a good deal of needless labor

The recent trial of libel suit brought
by London labor agitator against
newspaper has disclosed the fact that OF
the $500 lbs. contri buted to carry on the
strike of the Dockers union, 1925 lbs.
was swallowed up in expenses OF manage
ment, and that. the principal manager,
who WAS the man who brought the libel
suit, received 200 lbs. a month for his
services, though when he worked with
his hands he got but five shillings day.
And the financial history of this strike
would be the financial history of the
great majority of strikes. The walking
delegates and the fellows who do the
haranguing are the ones who absorb the
majority of the contri buttons.

The little town of Foxcroft finds that
its late treasurer, Judge Elias Hale,
whose strange suicide was reported
several days ago, was a defaulter to the
town to the amount OF 100000. 1t APP
pears very strange at first thought that
it was possible to steal this large sum
from this little town without detec-
ton. But tie theft was doubtless made
possible by the fact that he was held
in such general esteem and enjoyed the
confidence of the people to such an ex-
tent that he was trusted implicitly, and
it never occurred TO anyone TO make
anything like critical examination OF
his accounts. So completely did his
standing in the community protect him
that it is probable that he might have
gone on stealing for years without de-
tee tion, had his own guilty conscience
not driven him to suicide and thus
precipitated the disclosure.

In brief notice OF critical essays. one

to show the authors bent. But one point
should be emphasized-the skill with
which this critic can say very searching,

shade of rancor or bitterness, the pres

courage enough to remove two OF the

Alderman buddy should remember
that the city council has no right to
take money contributed by the taxpay-
ers for the care of the streets and divert
it to giving work to the aged and in
digent" The feeling which
prompted Mr.. Duddy's suggestion
was creditable, and if he
had been dealing with his own money
such use of it as he proposed would
have been creditable too. But the mon.
ey contributed for specific purpose can
not rightfully be diverted by
the trustee of that money te
any other purpose even though
it be a charitable one. If Alderman
buddy were a director in a private cor
poration he would never think of devot
ing money contributed by the stock
holders to any other purpose than thai
for which it was contributed. On wha1
ground does.he defend such diversion
in the case of a public corporation like
municipality?

finely delineated and the difficulties are
illustrated of good government where

writer shows how Northerners residing
South must clearly realize that the intel
igence of the South ought to rule.
There is wretched demagogic control
always threatened by ignorant voter.
The faithfulness of the few negroes of

upon. AS the whole the story is pessi-
mistic. a romance is interviewer in the
text of which the hero and the heroine

kissing for Dyspepsia.

Recently so much has been said about
evil baciul that it would almost seem that
every good bacillus had taken permanent
mercy of the wicked members of the fam
lily. 1t is, therefore, a genuine pleasure to
have so eminent an authority as the Brit
ish Medical Journal say such is not the
case; that beneicent bacilli remain to bless
us all, when we acquire and treat them
right. And It is more than ever pleasing
to have DR.. A. e. Bridger, a correspondent
of the British Medical Journal. declare
that lin the act of kissing we encounter
benefcent organisms" and add, further,
that 1.-The advantages of kissing outweigh
its infnHesimal risks, for it provides us
with microbes useful for the digestion"
Now, as all newspaper and magazine
readers know, kissing is the one thing that
has been most savagely attacked by scien-
the men, because OF its alleged trans
mission of disease germs. Enough has
been said about the bacml of diphtheria
ana consumption, and other dreadful COM
plants being transmitted in the
act of kissing to make man
hesitate to kiss his mother-in,
law The anti-kiss crusade, however. had
never reached the point of preventing the
labial salute between the young man and
his sweetheart; and now, since the emf
nent authorities named have come to the
defense Of the delightful salutation. the
chances are that it never will. Indeed, on
the other hand, the practice may be fur
ther extended on hygenic grounds. For
what maiden could refuse an ardent ad-
mlrer few choice bacnli to aid his d.
gestion or cure his dyspepsia?

is presumed. as a matter of course. tina,
