A Fresh Start.

The May day smiles not far away
And flowers blossom day by day.
A gentle promise fills the air
And Hope disrels the mists of care.
Whate'er the disappointments drear
That filled us with resentful fear.
Whate'er the injuries received,
Whate'er the burdens unrelieved.
When Mayday, lightly drawing near,
Is heralded by songs of cheer,
The troubles of each mortars lot
Fade and are presently forgot,
As each eXultantly cxclaims
While reading Ger the players names,
With faith all joyously secure,
We'll win the pennant this year. sure

Chicago's Woman Voters.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune
The whole country undoubtedly will
scan the election data of Yesterday to see
how the women voted. The new voters
can well undergo the inspection. They
have made a most encouraging begin
ming, voting with intelligent discrimins-
ton on the little ballot propositions and
saving the day for several of the best
candidates presented They voted in
slightly larger percentage of their regis
tration than the men. in spite of the fact
that they had not the advantage of tried
organization to get out the vote" as the
men of the parties had. And voting they
voted well.

More Money for School Teachers

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
No objection will be raised any
where to the action of the committee
of the board of education in raising the

them on an equality with those Of the

devoted band of men and women doing
the most important work in the city

CITIZENS UNION HAS
PLAN FOR ALDERMEN
Smaller Body With More Power
Will Be Fought For at
Albany.
PRESENT BOARD PRAISED

The Citizens Union made public yes
terday It's plan for the remodelling Of m"
Board Of Aldermen with fewer members
possessing greater powers. The aim Is
to reapportion the Aldermen more evenly,
according to population. and also to give
the board complete authority over the
salaries paid BY the city.
The Citizens Union will urge at Al
bany this winter the enactment OF leglsla-
ton to put the plan into effect. William
Jay Schieffelin. chairman OF the organiza-
ton. is heartily In favor OF the proposed
legislation and Will work hard for its
adoption in the form OF law
The organization in it's statement said
the remodelllng OF the Board OF Aldermen
is made necessary by the demand for
economy In the conduct Of the clty's gov
eminent, by the need Of greater degree
Of control by the local authorities over the
city's expenditures and the securing OF
an efficient local legislative body.
In explaining the need OF the proposed
legislation, the statement of the Citizens
Union points out that OF the city budget
OF 1915, over s59,OOO,0Q0 is for the debt
service and about s72. 900, 900 for Items
which are in the main mandatory and
made up largely OF salaries. Included in
! this Is about 100000 for the admins
tration of county affairs, - per cent. OF
which Is mandatory The balance Of the
budget. about SOS. 900, 900, is the only por-
ton subject to complete control by the
local authorities
with tho cost alone Of carrying the
cl,y's debt burden increased by $1,000,
900 for next year, the present admlnistra-
tion is seriously hampered In carrying
/ out the programme to which II is pledged,
| The extension OF many functions OF the
| city government and the making OF many
| local improvements long overdue are diff
cult when the city Is tied down by obliga-
| tons over which II has practically no
| control
"A large part or the whole OF the in
| crease In the debt service which il was
necessary to provide for In the 1915
| budget could have been taken care of by
reduction in salaries. which are now
mandatory, OF employees to an amount
commensurate with their services The
| task OF standardizng the work OF depart
ments and hiking uniform rates of pay
for similar classes of work throughout
! the city cannot be done with fairness So
| long as salaries are fixed by special acts
| OF the State Legislature,
The Citizens Union believes that the
| legislative work OF the present Board Of
| Aldermen has demonstrated that an
| efficient board can be elected in this city.
| Any criticism that the Board OF Aldermen
! cannot he trusted with additional powers
can lie completely answered by provd-
! ing for equal representation in the board
! for all parts uf the city, The principle Of
home ule is sound and ihe people arc
| entitled 10 uu better local Legislative body
than they elect after they have been given
an opportunity for equal representation.
| "treat inequality now exists In the
size Of the present Aldcrmanic districta"
