The Mayoralty; Zimmerman Side Issue.

If DR.. Zimmerman were all his most ardent
admirers imagine him to be, if he were all ne
himself claims to be, if he were thoroughly ia
miliar with all the processes and functions OF
municipal administration, he would still be an
undesirable candidate because he gives but a
fraction of his time to the work
No man can do justice to medical practice,
q garage, race horse outfit and the mayOraty
of city at one and the same time.
If he were superman, a modern Napoleon,
he might be able to hold down four jobs at once.
But being a mere man it is impossible.
And since the medical practice, and the gar
age, and the race outfit are private property and
pay in proportion to the attention bestowed upon
them and since the mayoralty is public office
with a fixed salary, the presumption is that,
whenever possible, it would be human nature to
neglect the mayoralty responsibilities in favor
of the others. Mayor Zimmerman has not re-
Vealed that keen sense of obligation to the pub
lie and to duty which would lead an impartial OBJ
server to expect that he gives his public duties
anything like the time they deserve.
A city of % 900 inhabitants, with annual
budget all told of about 100000, has right to
expect that it's mayor devote his undivided at
tention to the work. This is something Dr. Zin-
norman has never promised to do.
To be an efficient mayor man should have
a thorough comprehension of all city affairs and
this can be gained only by keeping in constant
personal touch with each department. In the
very nature of things a man who merely visits
his job couple of hours day cannot be eff
cient.

THE Blue Bird" are like translucent wells in

Sociology, political economy, and practical
politics, are in their Towering period Architec-
ture is just beginning to find itself in the United
States but the art of Sullivan is soon due for its
pericean age. Art is discovering new provinces
and new leaders with surprising frequency, and
everywhere are evidences that the divine old hu-
man soul, with its deep genius and its godlike
powers, has not retreated from its ancient
heights
This is the golden age. Now is the good time
to be alive. No living person need lament being
born in such a day. If one looks about him for
the great but sees none it is probable his eyes
are filed with dust from the tombs or that the
despotism of the dead has withered him. There
are giants in these days and the adventure of
life was never more sublime.

Great Men Living.

One hears much of the decadence of human
ity and the dearth of great men. A critic Of this
age has even written book on 'The Scarcity of
Great Men," And there are many who lament
the good old times when the real giants lived.
But when has there been cara more fav
ored with real greatness than this? In philoso-
ply, that difficult field which yields scant har
vest of genius, have at least three of first
rank, Bergson, Eucken and Hoffding. The
Frenchman's "Creative Evolution has marked
an epoch in the history of human thought and
placed its author unscaed height. Will
liam James, dead but brief time and himself
tower of intellectual strength, declared that
Bergson was the greatest thinker in the history
of the world, "the master of us ALL Eucken,
whose works are now being reviewed by the Min
isterial association, is the recognized chief of
German philosophy and the founder of school
destined to leave its mark forever. Hoffding
has incarnated the genius of Denmark and left
his impress on his age. These three alone are
sufficient to silence all petulant fault finding of
the present generation.
In science we have been quite as Fortunate
Sir Oliver Lodge, Lord Kelvin, dead a short
time), Ernest Haeckel, Palow, Metchnikoff, Sir
William Crooks, Edison Marconi, and dozen
others surely shed lustre enough to satisfy the
hero-worship of the most heroic times.
If no other scientist than Henri Fabre had
appeared in this day it would have given the age
an mpershable monument in scientific history
THE Insects Homer" 1.-The poet of science" has
been characterized by one astute English scholar
as "the wisest man who has ever lived' The
grand old man. now enjoying nonagenarian peace
in his rustic French province, has lifted entom-
ology to a new level and placed himself close
second to Darwin and Lamarck.
In the drama it is needful to mention only
George Bernard Shaw. If a generation had pro-
duced nothing Man and Superman' it
would win the respect of posterity
AS for belles-letters we are unusually fortu-
nate. AS long as Samuel McChord Crothers
yields his pen we have no need to pray for an
other Charles Lamb. Crothers is Charles Lamb
enough for any people. And Gilbert Chesterton,
the rollickng EngliShman has added to the hi
larity of mankind and spitted a thousand falla-
ces on his kindly spear. Maintaining the tradi-
tons of Ruskin and Arnold, A c. Benson has
lifted quiet voice from has academic retreats

AS to poetry it is difficult to speak Few gen.

bards in time for contemporaneOus browning

the singers, and he is usually there are no re-

Poor Mexico
By walt Mason.

The merchant shudders in his store,
while bullets whiz around him, and no
one ventures to his door, unless to kick
or wound him The farmer doesn't now
prepare to do his springtime seeding,
but sits and broOds in dark despair,
where Mexico lies bleeding. Some years
ago the land was gay, a stretch of
smiling acres; then Mexico became the
prey of magazine muckrakers. Reform,
the fOur-eyed writer's cried, SIS what
this land is needing;" they sprung
movement, nation wide, and Mexico lies
bleeding. Old Diaz ruled with steady
hand, and made the country blossom;
he knew the people, knew the land, and
knew Just how to boss EN-. And he was
wise and strong and fair, a man of
sense and breeding; they tore the
''tyrant" from his chair, and Mexico
lies bleeding The land is painted red
with gore, mans folly advertising; from
almost every cottage door a widows
walls are rising; we read about the
deadly storm, and shudder as we're
reading; they've had their spasm Of re-
form, and Mexico lies bleeding.

Inventors are responsible for bricks,

carriages, locomotives and everything
else. Even appendicitis was known as
Indigestion until inventors produced in

Inventors are the hardest people to

convenience, he begins to perfect it. Be
