Wharton adjourned the confirmation to

property had not been benefited, but, in
fact. the rents of the building were less
than before the pavement was laid
Peter Berkey objected to the confirma-
ton of the assessment for paving the in
tersection of College avenue and Sixth
street. holding that the cost should be
paid from the general fund, or else all
the property between Smith and Sum-
nit avenues shouId be assessed, and not
the abutting property.
The assessment for estimates No. 8 and

w. HUdner, member of the water

three lots on Hague avenue. He said
the charge of $3.50 for a retaining wall
underneath the sidewalk for each lot was
an outrage. The board expressed SYM
pathy but said the law had been strict

Bids were advertised for storm water
sewer to be put IN on st. Adams street,
from st. Clair to Grand avenue. The

owners who objected to the street being
paved with brick was fought by the
members of the board. Z
President POttgieser informed the
council that it was of the utmost i'm
portance that the contract be approved
at once, in order that the street railway
company could give orders for the rails
which would have to be put down at the
same time. the street was paved.
The council refused to approve the
contract and referred the matter back
to the board of public works.
City Engineer Claussen within q few
days returned estimates for paving the
street with brick, sandstone or asphalt,
and under ordinary circumstances the
board would have called in the property
owners. and after ascertaining the kind
of pavement desired, advertise for bids

HOME IS THE BULWARK
DIR. s. ID. MCCONNELL SAYS, OF
DEEPER RELIGIOUS LIFE.

At the invitation of the Church Club
Of st. Paul Rev. s. D. Mcconnell or
Brooklyn, N. Y, delivered an interesting
address last night at Christ church on
the religious life Of the family In it's
relation to the development of the young
and the attitude of the nation to the
things of the church.
Thirty years ago." said DR.. McCon-
nell, sit might have been taken for
granted without departing from the
bounds Of possibility, that a child would
secure at least the rudiments Of re-
ligious education IN the public schools.
At that time this was true pre-eminent-
ly in institutions of higher education.
A large majority Of the old universities
were established as religious institu-
lions.
mot in itself a long period of time,
thirty years has changed these condi-
tons to something utterly different. The
tendency at present is towards absolute
secularization, and it is only a step for
ward to the time when all state-sup-
ported institutions of learning will reach
this point. Nor do L disapprove entirely
of this tendency. The state cannot
teach what it has not, and it cannot in
struct in things pertaining to a re-
ligious life since in itself 1t is not re-
ligious So great has the tendency to
secularization become that recent expert
ments at Harvard showed that only an
Indifferent percentage of the under
graduates had any accurate knowledge
of the historical and spiritual contents
of the Holy Scripture.
eff the state cannot give this instruc-
ton, who can fill the want? But there
is yet one institution more sacred than
either and more powerful, the home.

home life in modern times Never before
have so many influences combined to
break its solidarity.
And yet with all these things to con-
tend against, the family remains the in
stitution Of affection. One allowed to
grow to mature years without this life
and its proper religious training and
encouragement, will grow to consider the
things Of the better life under the cold
light Of reason, entirely disassociated
with affection. This fact alone is the
strongest reason why the young should
be nurtured in the Scriptures and i'm
bued with the veneration and stead
fast respect for Christ and his teachings.
The family life is the vital life, the In
fiuence which makes men.
This should be our plea for deeper
religious life in the family. The church
of Christ is confronted with conditions
more serious at present than any pre-
Vailing for the past fourteen centuries.
I sincerely believe that we will find the
cure for the decadence we most deplore
and the accomplishment of our great de-
sires in the restitution in every home OF
that old home life and sanctity which
has been our heritage since the Middle
Ages

in the German language. In referring to
the so-called claims OF Mayor ktefer and
George Gerlach that they were the cause
of the street sweepers getting a raise IN
wages from 81 to $3.50 a day, Mr.. Bantx
said:
Two years ago, when I was running
fors alderman promised you that II I
was elected 1 would do all In my power
to have the wages Of the street sweepers
raised from 81 b .daSs to $3.50 day. Short
ly after my election as alderman 1 went
to Mayor Klefer and asked him to help
me TO do this. and he said to me that
those fellows had taken that work fer 81
a day, and that IL they wanted to pre-
serve their honor they were in duty bound
to carry out their contract, and refused
to help me. But now, when he sees that
he has got fight on his hands, he comes
out and claims the credit for something
he did not do"

of rather than Democrats. After the
speechmaking the Fourth ward organiza-

lected delegates to be elected at the pri-
