Joined with the voters in all parts of
the city and county to elect them
Among them were many supporters OF
the Free Bridge.
The victories created the impress
sion that the Taxpayers organization
controlled county politics and that in
order to get honors from the Demo-
cratic party candidates must first get
endorsement from that source. There
are men in the rural districts, in the
towns and in the cities who resent one
man rule and IT, is every "eason
to believe that Gyvendorsements will
not influence them in selecting good
men for county offices. A free born
American citizen likes TO exercise his
free American privilege and vote for
the men whom he thinks will serve
them efficiently, faithfully and hon
estly. They do not fancy the idea OF
being continually used" by any one
man or set of men,
The campaign is young yet. There
will doubtless be many surprises
sprung during the weeks that are
coming. The voters of this county
ought to vote individually for the best
men who offer themselves for offices
that belong to all of the people.

CHICAGOANS PLAN SYSTEM
FOR SOCIAL SERVICE WORK.
Seek to Remedy Dissipation In Civic
Betterment Efforts.

A group of Chicago men and women
of national prominence have launched
movement expected to systematic
its social betterment endeavors. Plans
for the work were decided upon at a
general gathering of representative of
various organizations for social work,
and they will be carried out at once.
Before it has attained it's object the
undertaking will have enlisted in it's
support these agencies: -<..
Every church that has displayed any
interest in the condition of life of the
people of it's community. :
Every newspaper that has stood for
better things in Chicago.
Every hospital. -... 49,.
Every agency engaged in corrective
work for children.
Every social settlement working or
ganization and every society engaged
in extending relief to the needy.
The assertion was made at the meet
ing that bewildering network of ma.
chinery for social improvement has
grown up and that many needs have
been neglected, while work in other d.
rections has been duplicated. -
A general stock taking Of Chicago's
facilities for civic betterment will be
the first step. A campaign of public in
struction through lectures In the
churches and elsewhere through the
newspapers will then be undertaken.

THE BACK YARD FENCE,
Wire Division Covered With Flowers

Wire Division Covered With Flowers
Would Improve Appearances.
. One of the greatest Disbursements to
the landscape as one looks out the
back window of the average house is
the row after row Of unsightly wooden
fences which vigorously mark off each
twenty-five Or thirty feet Of land and
constitute a barrier of exclusiveness
very chilling in its effect on ones
friendly disposition.
Think Of the beauty of such an out
look and the aesthetic humanizing ef-
feet such display of floral wealth
would have on the minds Of young and
old! 1t might possibly result also in
breaking down some of that proverbial
eohness and hauteur which is said to
characterize city neighbors. Life il

SURVEY WORK INTERESTING.
'cities and Towns All Over Country
Awake to Growing Need.

Cities and Towns All Over Country
Awake to Growing Need.
Interest in the social survey as a
means toward city Improvement grows
apace. This is definitely shown by
the fact that citizens and organizations
in as many as 100 cities scattered
through thirty-four states have re-
quested the department of surveys and
exhibits of the Russell Sage founda-
ton either to come and survey them
or to advise them in starting a local
survey movement. Many of these re-
quests are backed by the local COM
mercial organizations, chambers Of
commerce and boards of trade.
Two kinds of field work in surveys
have been engaged in by the de-
Observation-Disclosures surveys and
preliminary surveys" The former
are quick diagnoses of local conditions
showing the need Of the longer and
more intensive survey. They gather
enough local facts to indicate the
main lines of investigation which
should be taken up later. the probable
time necessary and the probable cost
The preliminary survey is aimed at
three kinds Of results: First, to fur
nish d sufficient body of local facts to
permit the planning Of an intelligent
program for community advance for
the next several years: it not only
shows liabilities, but community as
sets-the forces to build on and to
build with as well as what to build;
second, it is a means of enlisting pub
lie support for measures which cham
pion human welfare; third, it collects
sufficient data to point out the prob
lens which need thorough or continu-
GUS investigation. s#~- -. re
