RESIGN FROM COUNCIL
CONTINUED from Page OneI

would be unable 10 accompany him
on account OF pressing business en-
gagements. that he made known his
determination 10 drop out OF the coun-
Gil.
ITO say that Aid. Lodges decision
stunned me. would be putting IT
mildly said Mayor Marx. 1t took
me completely OF my feet. Mr.. Lodge
Is one of the most valuable uen in
the city government. His sound
judgment on city affairs and his care
full consideration Of every question
that goes before the council has made
the alderman's presence in that body
absolutely necessary. ! shall do all
in my power TO keep Aid. Lodge in
the common council. He simply can
not step out: We need his services
and 1t would almost be seltishness on
his part TO retire at a crucial time
like this"
The mayor pleaded with the alder
man, Friday morning, 10 remain at
his post, but Mr.. Lodge explained that
as much as he would like to continue
In the Office. that the people OF his
ward elected him to. he was placed
| in the position of either neglecting
his private business or the citys busi-
ness. He said he did not care TO hold
the Office II he could not give the
proper time TO the affairs Of his office.
THE city's business takes up three
or four and even five days OF my
time each week. said the alderman.
Il would like TO give even more time
than that TO the office. but my private
business demands so much OF the
time that I simply cannot do both. |
appreciate the honor that has been
conferred upon me by the people OF
my ward and am really sorry can
not continue to serve them In the
council"

THE ADVERTISING CLEANUP.

The journalistic conscience is be-
coming more tender. Aside from many
Improvement in editorial theics. the
business office, usually regarded as the
stronghold of commercialism. is be-
ginning to clean out its dark corners.
1t is significant fact that practical
ly all the better newspapers of the
country are refusing to publish ad-
vertising for quack doctors, patent
medicines. get-rich-quick schemes and
the like. The character of a paper is
pretty well defined by the kind of ad-
vertising it will not print.
Of all the schemes in which news
papers are asked to cooperate in
swindling the public, those of quack
doctors and patent medicine companies
are the most detestable. These two
classes OF advertisements make their
appeal almost entirely to the poor and
ignorant who can least afford to lose
part of their scanty earnings. One can
feel sort of involuntary admiration
for the cleverness of a Raffles levy
ing involuntary contributions from the
wealthy, but there is nothing save dis
gust for the sordid creatures who will
risk the health of the poor in order to
fleece them of their savings.

4 COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS.

For a long time the United States
has been accused of being a hard
hearted sort of country that thought
only of making money; a country of
coarser qualities and not of the finer
sentiments. 1t was said that its lack
of ceremony ran to the extreme.
But witness the plans an Ohio city
is making for a community Christmas.
The idea was first used in this coun-
try in New York City several years
ago. Plans are being made that on
Christmas eve the people of the city,
especially the older persons, will gath
er about an immense Christmas tree
in a park that is centrally located
and sing songs-not the catchy, flip
pant sort of music that is nonnlar now

HELPING UNCLE SAM.

The campaign for cooperation il
efficient handling OF mail is becoming
something like past campaigns for
sane Fourth of July and the like. As
usual. it is the people" who are be-
ing appealed to in this matter.
With the increased bulk of mail
caused by the parcel post, it would
not be unlikely for the mails to be-
come congested. If this is prevented
it will be necessary for everyone to
help Uncle Sam.
Circulars distributed to patrons,
special orders to clerks and publicity
through the newspapers will all help
make things move faster in the holi-
day rush. But, after all. unless the
persons who send packages heed the
warnings to tie their bundles well and
TO write addresses plainly. there will
likely be some disappointment when
the mail does not bring certain pack
ages by Christmas morning.

Bring the Mythical Teams to Life.

Editor the Missourian:-W While we
are discussing the All-Missouri-Val-
ley football team and the other all
star teams which are picked on paper
California led the way in making these
teams come to life.
A line was drawn through the CEN
ter of California and an all southern
and an all northern California team
chosen by judges agreed upon. These
two teams met Thanksgiving day in
the Leland Stanford, Jr., University
stadium. The innovation was very sue
cessful, according to the Daily Cali
fornian and the Daily PaIo Alto.
Now, if the Kansas City people are
so anxious for big game in Kansas
City each'year. let them finance a game
between an all-Missouri and an all
Kansas team. Does anyone know of a
place in the city that would accom-
modate the crowd?
This would make the all-place honor
mean more. 1t would also serve to
show whether the man was big enough
for the place. VN

sion, Christmas carols and hymns.
The bands of the city will be there to
cad the people The Christmas tree
will be decorated with lights and all
will betoken the joyous season and
the Christmas spirit.
New Years ere the crowd will gath
er again and the beginning of 1914
will be welcomed with joyous songs.
Probably the gathering Will be repeat
ed several times during the holidays.
Moreover the more practical Christ
mas spirit will be applied in the di-
rection of charities.
A more beautiful practice would be
difficult to find. 1t is to be hoped all
the people of the city will take ad-
vantage of this occasion and that
other cities will copy the custom.
Most of us so completely forget the
worth of sentiment in life that even
at Christmas we forget the true spirit
Of the season and the reverence that
should pervade it.
