KcLHLhES SCALP
IS BADLY WANTED
BY BIRD S. GO[ER
BOROUGH PRESIDENT PREFERS
CHARGES AGAINST N. Y.
EXECUTIVE.
VICIOUS ABUSE OF POWER"
Claims That Investigation Was
Prompted by Desire to Shift the
Responsibility For ExtraVagant
Administrator.

NEW YORK, Sept. bird s.
Coler, president Of the borough of
Brooklyn has preferred charges
against Mayor Mcclellan to Gov.
Hughes. The borough president OBJ
viously seeks to convey the impression
that he wants the mayor removed
from Office. He presents his charges
under the provision of the city char
ter, which makes the mayor subject
to the governors power of removal,
but nowhere in his charges does he
ash specifically for the mayors dis
missal.
Coler charges the mayor with using
his commissioners of accounts, who
lust now are engaged in investigating
Mr.. Coler's own political conduct, for
furthering his political and personal
purposes.
"A vicious abuse of the mayors po-
lltical cover" is the borough presi-
dents Characterization.
Coler AYERS that the investigation
If the three borough presidencies-
Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn-was
Insured by a desire on Mcclellan
part to avenge himself on political
enemies and to create the false i'm.
rresgion that the city budget was due
"a waste by the borough presidents
nd not to McClellan's ruling.
The president characterizes the &C
counts commissioners as Mcclellan
tools. and says they threaten, intimi
date and torture witnesses. From the
borough presidents viewpoint of in
yestigation of his own ofice-and his
charges are chiefly confined to tha'
phase of the mayors alleged miscon
duct-no effort has been made to as
certain the truth.
The charges were laid before th'
governor on Aug. 30.

To the School Boy.

Young man, your future may depend upon how you spend the vacation days.
 The community in which you live keeps an eye on you. If you conduct yourself worthily, the public will be apt to notice it. Keep a clean face and a clean record. Be truthful, prompt, obedient and industrious. Be firm, but at the same time polite. You need not learn to roll a cigarette and tell smutty stories, but learn to do useful things. Be studious and persevering, ever up and doing If you ac- cept a position during the yaca- ton, make your employers in terest your own, and don't squan- der your salary If you are not lucky enough to secure a posi- tion, do some work around the home and get used to it. The probability is that you will have it to do some day. Don't forget - the public has an eye on you.

Colorado will this year produce greater variety and number of wild flowers than in any previous year dur ing the last two decades at least. The state has always been noted for its marvellous wealth of blooms, 113 vari- eties of wild flowers having to date been classified, and pressed samples placed on display in the rooms of the State Botanical Society in Denver.
 The reason why this year will be a banner year for wild flowers is sim pie and natural. It is because there has been a greater precipitation in the

mountains since last October than has been known in Colorado for over twen- ty years. During the winter of 1SSS-S9 the snow was piled in such great drifts in many passes across both ranges that it proved a serious hindranee to travel. The same condition has existed during the recent winter season.
 But we were speaking of wild flowers. The Columbine, that exqui sitely delicate and beautiful creation of Nature. which makes it's first appear ance early in June, is the State Flower and is so beloved by residents of the

Commonwealth of Colorado that it is regarded among things sacred. Many years ago. when a society formed for that purpose had under consideration the matter Of designating a state flower there were two factions, the "Columbines" and the Mariposas !" The latter faction insisted that the Mariposa lily, a fragrant but fragile flower, should be accorded the honor
 There followed a friendly but spirited debate on the floor of the State Sen ate between the respective champions of their favorite bloom resulting in a majority in favor of the Columbine The ''Mariposa" faction leader. lady high in social circles of the state, moved to make it unanimous in favor

Advice is cheap,

but listen, young friend, how about the advice of such men as Henry Ward Beecher, Horace Mann and Hon. Wm. Pinckney White, ex-governor of Maryland? Henry Ward Beecher says, Whatever occupation you may choose as your life work, the first step Is to secure a practical business education; by all means attend good business college. " Horace Mann says, Education is capital from which a profit may be derived in subsequent life; it will pay an annual income without expense for insurance, repairs or taxes; riches have wings, a good education is a more lasting resource" Gov. White says. Tt is the business knowledge obtained in the busi- ness college that is so important today; no man can succeed who is not systematic; it is a rare eX- ception that a man who has not equipped himself with a busi- ness knowledge ever succeeds in life. ,
 Young friends, you are living in business age, at business you must make your living, so why try to go through life with out obtaining a thorough busi- ness training? The business world today is holding out great CT inducements to our young men and women than ever be- fore. Young woman, you will receive what you are prepared to earn; 8 washerwOman gets washerwoman's wages and a washerwoman's social position thrown in. A business educa- tion in youth rescues many a woman from the washtub in age, and enables the widow to feed her starving children Latin and Greek may be forgotten; the business course can be used always and everywhere; 1t is a treasure secure from moth and rust, a safeguard against adver- sity, and it's culture value sur passes any other of equal length.
 Do you realize that the average educated man gets salary ot S1, ,0O0 year, while the average daily laborer gets but S45O: Take the difference in the earn ing capacity of the educated man and the day labOrer for 40 years and the educated man has earned S22,000.00 more than the day laborer.

DOCTORS AND LAYMEN AGREE.
Campaign Against Tuberculosis En-
lists Workers from All Glasses.

New York, June 22.--Special:
Confirming the recent statement of
DR.. William Osler, that the anti-tu-
berculosis campaign is no longer q
battle for the doctors only, the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis issues a
statement to-day, in which it is
shown that over As per cent of those
enlisted in the White Plague War
are laymen.
The, National Associations mem
bership, consisting Of nearly $500,
and representing every State in the
Union, is composed of 54.6 per cent
doctors and asa per cent laymen.
In the local and State associations,
however, throughout the country,
the percentage of laymen averages
considerably over SO per cent. The
National Association declares that
this fact is peculiarly significant, as
indicating the great popularity of
the anti-tuberculosis movement.
twenty-five years ago, when the
campaign against tuberculosis was
started in this county by DR.. Edward
l.. Trudeau, even the doctors laugh
ed at the movement. Gradually the
medical profession realized the pos
sibilities of an organized fight against
tuberculosis, and in 1904, the Ma
| tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis was
| formed by the American Medical AS
sociation: At that time the percent
age of laymen in the Association was
| only 1913, and very few persons were
interested in the campaign against
this disease
To-day, according to recent fig
ures published by the National Asso-
| citation, churches, schools, labor un-
ions, women's clubs, fraternal or
ganizations, and State Legislatures,
interesting fully 100000 people,
| are all allied in the campaign against
tuberculosis, and in addition to
these, laymen of all classes of soci-
ETY., and in every branch Of social
and industrial life, are uniting
| against this one common foe.
Every day sees hundreds of new
recruits In the war, and every day
brings new methods for the fighting
of the plague. The National Associa-
ton predicts that If the present de-
gree Of interest is maintained, within
five years everybody in the United
States will have been informed on
the way to prevent and cure tuber-
culosis, and concerning the infectious
nature of the disease.
Two things in particular are need
ed, and for these the National Asso-
cirtion Is working In every way.
I'll ay are complete registration of
tuberculosis cases, and the further
isolation of dangerous advanced
| cases of consumption.
