Judge Timothy r.. Towards review
OF what has been accomplished in four
years for the betterment Of the city
by the retiring city administration is
a remarkable testimonial 10 the eff
cheney and honesty Of the members
OF the common council and the execu-
tive o9icers And the best OF il is that
the judges statements are supported
by the facts.
Summarized. the statement shows
that South Bend is next to the lowest
city in the state in the cost OF opera
ton per capita. Indianapolis Evans
vile and Fort Wayne show a higher
per capita cost, Terre Haute alone Of
all the large cities is lower This
spells honesty and superior economy
of administration. 1t means that the
affairs Of the city have been conduct
ed IN a businessIike manner.
And it has not been a penurious or
nonprogressive administration. What
has been accomplished in physical bet
terments cOnciusiVely prove that while
economy has been observed efficiency
has not been crippled. Judge Howard
points TO five big things that have
been done: The extension and i'm
provement OF parks and bouleVards
the annexation OF River Park and
other territory. the reconstruction Of
the waterworks. giving the city abund-
ant and reliable water service for all
purposes. the saving of East Washing
ton av. from threatened blockade and
the extension Of street railway facn-
tiles.
Many minor betterments. such as
the public comfort station, which had
its inception III the council. might be
mentioned. but the list given is sutf-
cient for the purpose of showing that
South BEND has made wonderful
Htrides during the past four years and
has in all respects more than kept
pace with other cities of it's class. and
vet the cost per capita has been lower
tnan in most OF them.
The record of the old should be an
inspiration 10 the new administration
and an example of the means by
which public improvements may be
made at "A minimum of cost. Tt will
be gratifying if the new administra-
ton can show equal or greater prog
ress at a lower per capita cost but
no credit can be claimed for reducing
this cost by depriying the city Of what
it needs.
There is only one kind Of economy.
Anything below it is discreditable and

AN UNUSUAL PETITION.

A story in real life similar TO those
printed in the sensational papers and
found among the best sellers at the
bookstands comes from Chicago in a
plea for the Communication of the SEN
tence of DR.. Haldane Cleminson, con-
victed Of wife murder and sentenced
to Joliet for life.
The plea is based on evidence indi-
eating the innocence of the prisoner
and pledge that if released he will go
10 the leper colony in the Philippines
or elsewhere to exercise his excep-
tionaI capabilities and medical knowl-
edge in the service of his fellow be-
ings"
DR.. CIeminsOn is under thirty years
old. He ranked as one OF the most
skufuI physicians in Chicago and had
a brilliant future when arrested for
the murder of his wife. who was found
dead at their home four years ago.
TIE purport of the new testimony is
TO establish an alibi and this in con
nection of the tender of his services
I'm behalf Of the lepers are hoped TO
have a favorable effect on the state
board of pardons
The character of DR.. Cleminson' 5
pledge may be taken as a reflection
of the true character of the man. 1t
must require a nobility of purpose and
strength of resolution to consign
oneself to such a fate as that for which
Or. Cleminson would exchange his life
I'm prison.
Conservation of mankind being the
purpose of penal institutions, as un-
derstood in these later days. il would
seem that the Illinois state board of
pardons might favorably consider the
unusual petition of Or. Cleminson and
give To society the benefit Of an eff
cheney which otherwise, comparatively
speaking, would be wasted.

SECOND YEAR OF
MARRIED LIFE.
BY MABEL

Helen was sitting out i'm the yard
under the trees, sewing on a little
white dress for Winifred Ii was the
second week of her cOnValescence.
The color had returned to her checks
and she was rapidly gaining strength.
Wiuifred lay on "a rug at her feet,
playing with a large Maltese cat, that
stretched itself lazily on the grass. and
submitted, with lofty Indifference to
her CareSseS
Through the opening sitting room
window came the hum Of a sewing
machine For the last few days, Mrs.
Baker, the village dressmaker, had
been sewing theme.
Helen had sent to St. Louis for
samples of dimities and lawns and
had ordered enough TO make several
dainty dresses for both herself and
Winifred. And now Mrs. Baker and
Mother and Aunt MOllie were all help
ing to make them.
They were glad that she should have
this interest and diversion during the
tedium of her CanValescence. But 10
Helen it meant far more than that.
She was planning to go back TO War
rem with some pretty fresh summer
dresses to make herself and Winifred
as dainty and attractive as she could.

She wanted to make of her return
something of q second honeymoon, and
happier and more beautiful than the
first.
She was planning countless little
ways by which she would make her
love her more She would never let
him see her carelessly dressed again.
Every morning she would put on a
dainty gown and every evening dress
for dinner more carefully than she
ever had before.
And she would try not TO show her
love quite So much. She would be
more reserved, more elusive. She
would make him seek her caresses.
She would not give them masked
and perhaps he would value them
more.
Helen pOndered much over the long
talk she had had with her father, just
after Warren left She realized the
value of his advice. even that part
which had hurt her most From
what I have seen of Warren I judge
he is a man who would become sat

The fact that Mcclellan is a bach
elor and not up against the problem
of obtaining costly fresh eggs for his
family really shows q great spirit OF
magnanimity toward people. Here is
another s Dry which. though eggless,
indicates that the man has human
impulses.
When Mcclellan went TO Memphis
as a young lawyer to break into the
legal profession in that town, he fell
in with a chap named Metcalf, who
took a fancy to him and helped him.
He obtained his first office connection
through Metcalfs assistance.
Well the years rolled around, plaC-
ing Mcclellan in congress and filling
the man Metcalf with a great desire
to be postmaster at Memphis. Natu-
rally Mcclellan sent in his name for
appointment. But both of the Ten
nessee senators, on the ground of
political eXpediency, were opposed TO
Metcalf and told Mcclellan he must
name some other friend. or else they
would pick postmaster Of their own
choosing.
But / can't do IT," said Mcclellan,
this man was the first person in the
town to befriend me, just at time
when i needed help most, and he
wants the job. I want him TO have
II. and I can't name anybody else,
even if they never get postmaster
Mcclellan used to raise chickens
and eggs Tor the market when he was
youngster That was some 20 years
ago when fresh eggs were still within
the means of those who worked for q
living. Not infrequently he sold eggs
20 the dealers for as little as I'VE
cents a dozen. That sticks in his
heaC-the prices ne used TO set as
compared With The prices that pre-
vail now.
However. there are advantages I'm

went into a Washington restaurant
and ordered a frugal breakfast. in

The soft color deepened in her face
as she planned and dreamed all the
possibilities of happiness their reunion

She remembered wildly g. novel she

The Secret of Possession.
It is the lack of pursuit. the feeling
of assured possession, of nothing more

this, blinded by her own deep, un-
wavering love, she had tried to believe
that Warren's love would be as unfal-
tering.
This is the greatest injustice of sex.

WASHING TON. Dec 30.-About
the most ideal shopper in Washing
ton, from the point Of view OF the
salesman is william J. Bryan. When
Mr. Bryan sets out 10 buy anything
ne does not bubble about prices, but
takes what is placed before him.
All the salesman has TO do is pull
out the best in the house and Mr.
Bryan looks no farther.
The other day Mr.. Bryan deter
mined 10 buy himself some new
shirts and a few other personal ac-
couterments. He stopped in at a
haberdashery on the way home and
told the clerk frankly that he had
come with the intention of buying
shirts.
The clerk showed him one variety.
Wrap up some OF those, said
Bryan. without "A moment OF heslta-
ton.
Then he spoke of socks. The clerk
pulled out box OF costly ones.
Bryan bought them on the spot
without so much as a single question
about quality or price.
That is the way the secretary of
state goes shopping. He simply buys
the first thing that is offered TO him.
Some day a salesman Will take ad-
vantage of this trait and send Mr.
Bryan a shirt with wide stripes IN
bright colors. such as Henry Cabot
Lodge often wears, and il will be a
mean trick.
