Badly Written, But IL Was a
Warm Member.
Says Mass Meeting Was Held ON
Cow Observation-Disclosures
Was Discussed.
1T NAY ALL BE A JOKE

Mayor yeiser has received num-
erous notes, messages, telephone
calls and much advice about the COW
ordinance he finally signed Saturday
night. but the most amusing was an
anonymous letter he received today.
II was written either as a joke or
else by someone that must have been
as mad as he or she was evidently
illiterate.
II was addressed to Mayor Yizer"
and simple English words through
out the letter were spelled about as
nearly correct as the mayors name.
IL required three careful prayer
.ul perusals to declpher the writing.
but the mayor was finally successful.
and found that the gist of the com
munication is that while 1t censures
members of the legislative boards for
passing the ordinance the mayor
seems to be 1T. lie is the one they
are after, and many plans of pun
lshment for him are suggested, but
the one picked out as the best that
ought to be applied to him is not
definitely stated in the remarkable
document.
1t is said in 1t that a mass meet
ing was held TO act on the COW ordi-
nance.
One plan suggested, according to
the letter, was to get several stout
women to "catch Mayor Yeiser out.
get all the little boys and girls un-
der years of age. and give the chief
executive good logging"
This plan did not meet the general
approval of conspirators against the
mayors welfare however, and anoth-
err suggestion was made according to
the letter.
Another spoke up and suggested
that they take a hand at law-maklng
and deprive every board member OF
milk for six years.
One stated that her method OF
punishment to Mayor Yeiser wouldbe
to make him pay her milk bill. or
catch him out sometime and lick
the shirt on of him.
Mayor Yeiser does not know
whether the letter was joke or not.
but is not worried. and says that IL
such a meeting was held. he is sorry
he did not have a chance to attend
and place himself before its august
members in the right light.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IMPRAC.
TICABLE.

Advocates of municipal ownership
in Chicago, and possibly in other cit
les, are about to get their first dose
OF establishment. James Dalrym-
pie. of Glasgow. Scotland, for whom
Mayor Dunno sent for advice. has
completed an investigation at Chica-
go. and is about TO make a report,
and it is said on good authority will
report that the scheme to municipal
ize Chicago's traction system is not
practicable under existing conditions.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Chicago says:
1.-The part politics plays in the ad-
ministration of the city's affairs is,
in the opinion of the Scotch expert,
the rock on which Chicago's munich
pal ownership and operation plan will
go TO destruction. The Scotch expert
has convinced Mayor Dunno that his
conclusions are right, in part, and the
executive and radical city ownership
men are. in consequence, considera-
bly, disconnected In fact, the fervor
with which the enthusiasts welcomed
the Scotchman to Chicago has now
completely disappeared, and in its
place came pronounced chilliness
in bidding the visitor Godspeed on his
return journey.
Mr. Dalrymple has not as yet
submitted formal report, and will
not do so for several weeks after his
return TO his native land but his
views have been given a number OF
times to the mayor and municipal
ownership associates In the last few
days, and they were reiterated at the
final meeting of the expert and May
or Dunno just previous to the de-
parture of the former"
IL viii be ever thus. Those who
want the best possible service at the
least possible cost, and advocate mu-
nicipal ownership as the means of
getting IL, will inevitably sooner or
later realize the error In supposlng
that such means will bring about
the desired end under conditions ex-
listing In American cities.
As long as We have politics, we
cannot have successful municipal own
ership.

THE FOLKS BEHIND THE COUNTER.

I'm the vacation season those who are able to
get away from their work for hours days or
weeks should not forget the vastly larger num-
ber of persons who. TO make Il living, are COM
PEELED to labor straight through the summer sea-
son It is a sad feature of every holiday that
tie enjoyment of some means additional work
for many. and every philanthropic effort to
limit the hours of employment in the summer
and during the stress of holiday time is worthy
of commendaton.
The National Consumers League has been for
years carrying on valuable educational work
for early closing OF the great retail stores, and
1t reports gratifying success in persuading en-
ployers TO its view. For three years now one
of the largest department stores in this city
has closed at IL O'Clock, even on Christmas Eve,
and both in New-York and Chicago there is an
Increasing tendency toward the employment of
en- extra staff for night work where conditions
require late opening This reform has been
greatly promoted by child labor laws which
force dismissal of children from the shops at
evening. Massachusetts has law prohibiting
women and minors from working more than
ten hours in one day or ffty-eight hours in one
week and there ii is the habit to employ
double staff in times of emergency. Naturally,
all snopkeepers are not pleased with this ar
rangemeat but when efforts were made TO re-
peal the law it was clearly demonstrated that
the diminution of sick leave owing TO shorter
hours was great enough TO justify the restric-
ton.
In this city the Saturday half holiday in the
summer months has become an established in
efitution, and it is TO be hoped that the habit

towns there is a practical difficulty TO be en-

CHURCH WORK IN SUMNER.

One of the commendable and promising signs
of the times to which we have been glad to
call attention more than in news col
uTnns is the enterprise undertaken by the Fed
GRAFTON of Churches for the promotion of relig-
ious. educational and phianthropic work I'm the
city during the summer season. 1t is part.
and by no means the least important part, of
a general movement for summer work which
bids fair to effect considerable revolution in
our social state OF the desirability of such q
movement and such revolution there can be
little doubt. 1t has always seemed unnatural
that in the highest sphere of creation the sum-
mer season should be so largely abandoned to
idleness and neglect. In the vegetable and ami
nal kingdoms it is pre-eminently the season Of
growth of activity, of achievement while win
ter is largely q time of rest and inertia But
man exactly reverses that rule. He studies and
labors night and day when the vital forces of
the world are at their lowest ebb and all the
rest of nature is quiescent, and then, when
vitality comes bounding back to the top OF
the scale and all nature is glowing and pulsat-
ing with redundant energy, he turns languid,
lets his mind lie fallow and gives himself up
to idleness.
Now as we have said, are learning to
correct that practice TO some extent. The sum-
mer school system tentatively and tmorously
tried a generation ago, is now widely estab-
lished as an institution Of unquestionable sue
cess In the last few years that system has
been extended into our city public Schools with
happiest results, so that no longer do our great
and costly schoolhouses stand idle and the capi-
tai invested in them no longer lies unproductive
for one-sxth of the year. 1t is auspicious OF
great good that now the churches are FILLING
into line. 1t has been stock reproach of
scoffers not altogether either deserved or uI-
deserved that for two or three months every
year religion takes a vacation and let's the
devil have free course. That has been true
of some churches, but not, by any means, OF
all Now there is general and hearty move
ment TO swing all Christian churches into line
for the maintenance of their good works the
whole year round That is what the Federation
