Truly uneasy lies the head that

Who is there who has compassion for
one who deserves to be rebuked
and terrified by the appsrition Of
the project he had most ignomin-
iously slain? For no matter what
his intents, il was . most outrage

Of the executive prerogative that

there were others-there were those
who had reached the conclusion that
the self respect which had asserted
itself in behalf OF the city on o pre-.
vious occasion, when the ordinau &C
was adopted. might Just rs well be
sacrificed. that the alderman who ex.
ercised his privilege might depar,
from his former self and stand by
the side OF the mayor-for reasons.
And so the river front undertaking
went down, on the very eve Of its
consumm alton.

But the spectre stalks forth again.
The council proposes to look into the
question Of the legality of First Nv.

not 1t can only lead TO one thing
the consideration OF the entire levee
project. But the present admins
tration Is not capable OF coping with
that in any form. Il has neither the
energy nor stamina to further the
city's interests through such . hszar.
dous undertaking. So what's the
use? Another somewhat differently
composed municipal government
will take 1t up-and see It through.
The solution Of the problem 10
simple. Good faith is ali that is
necessary. But it must be good
faith on the part Of all. The city
must set the example. and it must
be understood that no alderman is to
be led from the path Of sworn duty
by shop talk, for therein perchauce
lies the test Of the good faith OF
those with whom the city Is to deal.
Let us in due time have O mutual
understanding on the levee question.
for mutual benefit. Let us wipe out
the blot on the city's name. as well
as on the city's appearance. Let us
destroy the spectre by destroying the
source from which II comes. There
is chance for new life down on the
