MUST ELECT TEN ALDERMEN
The New Apportlonmens of she City
Makes Seven Wards.

1t begins to look now as though al.
most every man in each ward would
have to become either an alderman or
a supervisor, for undoubtedly after
next Monday evening there will be
seven wards in the city instead of four
as heretofore. The committee to which
the matter of re-districting the city
was referred, has got it's report ready
to present at the next council meeting.
The report, when made. will be an ex-
ceedingly fair and good one, and, it rs
now understood will meet with the un-
qualified approval of the whole cOun
Gil. 1t divides the city up as follows:
The First ward is simply the first pre-
cinct of the old First, and runs from
the lake to Ashland avenue; the Second
ward is cut off at Broad street and lies
between that and the old Fourth ward;
the Third is the old ward cut off at
Congress street and runs from there to
the lake, south of Prairie avenue; the
Fourth is unchanged and remains the
same; the Fifth is that portion of the
old Second cut off north of Broad
street; the Sixth is all that portion of
the old First ward known as a second
precinct which runs from Ashland ave
nue. west, and the Seventh is all that
portion of the old Third west of Cong
ress street.
This division of the city merely cuts
the Second ward in two by line run
ming east and west and the First and
Third by running lines north and south.
Politically the divisions are exactly
even. There will be three wards sure
republican" and three " sure democrat
ic" with the old Fourth battle ground
between the two. II any political
measures are ever to be fought out the
work will have TO be done in the
Fourth ward, either way.
This division of the city will necesSi-
tate the election next spring of ten new
aldermen, and will make a body of
fourteen aldermen on meeting nights.

Patriotism.
Communicated.

The American t1ag What is meant
by those three. simple words? What
impression do they leave on your mind?
Did you ever stop to consider what a
vague'idea many of our people have of
patriotism? To many it is simply a
long word with a pleasant sound.
Why pleasing to the ears they cannot
tell, but i'll some manner or other they
have learned that flag and patriotism
go hand in hand. To make good citi-
zens of men, we are told they must love
the glorious stars and stripes; they
must stand ready to defend it at all
hazards. We are told to place the
Americans flag on every school house
in the land, that the youth of this re-
public may be educated to patriotism.
We fear that far too great stress is
being placed on. that simple piece of
bunting known as our flag. Enter
many of our public schools today over
which old glory" is proudly floating
and ask if you please the question,
g what is patriotism?" In nine cases
out of ten you may get an answer to
show that our young students idea is
clothed with The garments of war. Is
this Il noble spirit to cherish in a free
land? But what else are we to expect?
Are not our young men instructed TO be
ready at all times to defend old
glory?" This instruction is good
enough if kept within proper bounds,
but the times of war, " legalized muir
DER" is past. War has seen its day
let us now cultivate a spirit of peace
How must this be done and where?
We say in the schools ard by the
teachers of young American minds.
Teach them to love flag and country
but before this is done let them see
why. Let them see, yes, show them.
Do not prize class of citizens because
they are ready to rise at once and
fight. Love of country certainly does
not mean bloody war. 1t does not
mean the simple admiration of piece
of bunting. 1t does not imply the
necessity OF making would be soldier
of every youth. But it does imply the
need of good citizens. Those educated
and trained to build up and not break
down our national government.
