ADVICE TO THE ALDERMEN

The Beard of Aldermen will convene tonight
to consider the $1,000. 600 bond issue rider, the
recent passage of which has been declared lille
gal by the City Attorney.
We think their course is very simple and
very obvious, The original ordinance authoriz-
ing the issuance of Sl40o.o0O bonds for public
improvements should be passed. II represents
large improvements concerning the need and
value of which there is no difference of opinion
The situation has been fully and freely discuss.
ed the ordinance has come before the body in
perfectly legal form: the public approves and
desires immediate action Therefore, il il clear.
~ up to the Aldermen to consider this ordi-
nance upon It's merits and bring it TO early pas
sage.
Now. If any gentlemen think there is need
for an additional bond issue of $1,000 900 let
them introduce such bill de moro and let
same so to the Finance Committee and proceed
by legal methods and along proper channels
TO iis destination But let no such ordinance be
passed without perfect assurance of the city's
abity 10 finance II, without definite specifl.
cation of improvements contemplated It's a
plain business question and should be- and
probably VIII be. settled by business intelli.
genoe and methods
In the meantime, let the original ordinance
90 through without hindrance or delay, that
citizens may sooner enjoy the great benefits to
be derived therefrom.

Federal Interference,

Danvilie Register: There Is srrong reason to
suspect that the Republicans in the Senate did
not desire the amendment to the Constitution
to prevail and that they designedly loaded 1t
down with the Brstow proposition In order to
imperil Its passage in the Senase and finally to
insure the defeat OF the effort to rati-
ncation by the States. Democratic States want
no popular election OF Senators when 1t will
be accompanied by Federal elections plan
taking from the States the control of their own
political affairs.
The Register is right in theory. How about
the practice? The control of senatorial cleo
tons proposed to be conferred the Federal
government is precisely the control which Con-
gress now has election of members OF the
House Of Representatives. We not bothered
by Federal interference In those elections.--In-

CURRENTCOMMENT
A Socialist Speech.

For the first time in its history the House OF
Representatives Monday listened to a speech
Socialism Victor Berger. the first man TO
be elected to Congress by Socialists, made the
speech. Among other things. he said: That
pretense chat the tariff helped the iaboring
mani was simply after thought, because
the workingmen have votes OnIy American
manufacturers have dared to tell this falsehood
their workingmen Things cannot on
Ike this indefinitely. Some day there Will be
be enacted on the capitastic class, class,
and the innocent will suffer with the guilty.
There be social freedom, nor complete
justice. until there are more hirelings In
the world; until all become both the employers
and the employed of society"
Mr.. Berger loses sight of the fact that the
American workingmen the best paid work
ingmen in the world. 1t requires no argument
to prove this, does 1t require any argument
to show that this condition exists in country
that has a protective tariff.
MIR. Berger doubtless thinks that he sees signs
of revolution ahead II there are signs of revo
luton, the workingmen have to blame
but themselves. for the remedy for all OF their
ills Is in their hands They have the
numbers. and having the numbers. they have
represent them They seem to prefer, however,
to send the old tools OF the interests to Wash
ington to legisate rather than to send men
who are representatives Of the people.
Mr.. Berger is wrong. There Will be no revo-
luton for the very existence OF such men as
Wilson and La Toilette show that the people
are aroused and that the old strangle-hold OF
the interests legislation Will end. The work
!ngmen of America can hasten that day and Sc
cure greater liberty for themselves by enrolling
themselves under the banners Of the progress
