Mayor and Attorney Authorized to Ask Commits
sioners for Part Of General Fund to be
Used on City Streets

sioaers for Part Of General Fund to be
Used on City Streets
''Sit down! Sit down! You're
rocking the boat" In effect,
this is what Councilman John Ser
combe told Mayor Geo. IF. Rich
ardson at the regular meeting of
the council Tuesday evening when
the executive attempted to get
the city dads to back up in their
determination to lop the street
commissioner off the municipal
payroll. They refused to back
up and Councilman III. w. Des-
oranges motion to retain the
commissioner was defeated by a
vote Of five to two, Councilman
H. r. Vibber voting with Mr..
Desgranges.
During the discussion, which
at times became rather squally,
Councilman Sercombe, for the
second time this year, took occa-
sion to inform the mayor that he
talked too much and that the law
which created his Office did not
contemplate that he was to utilize
the councils time by entering in
to the discussions. Councilman
Desgranges, somewhat warmly,
insisted that no councilman had
the right to call the mayor down
and that the law gave the chief
executive permission to talk as
much as he pleased. When the
boat finally landed right side up,
Councilmen Sercombe, Anderson.
Olbrich, Huntington. and Behr-
mann were still sitting steady
and still opposed to paying SIS a
month for the commissioners
services. Councilmen Desgranges
and Vibber in speaking in favor
of the motion maintained that it
was false economy to give the
streets no attention and that SIS
was not too much to pay man
who would look after the streets
in a satisfactory manner. Mr..
.Sercombe insisted that men could
be hired for $3.50 a day to do
whatever work might be neces-
sary from time to time. Council
men Anderson and Olbrich
thought the city should have a
street commissioner but consider
ed SIS a month too much to pay
him. Councilman Behrmann said
that nobody came down in the
Garden Tracts to fix the streets
and he didn't see that q man was
needed up town.
j C Afts1 Tax Mseey
The mayors recommendations
to the council were embodied in
q message in which he also point
ed out that under the state laws
Is per cent of the general road
and bridge taxes paid by any in-
corporated town may be expend-
ed by the commissioners in the
improvement Of the streets in
that town. He furnished figures
showing the amounts which Ken
newick has contributed to this
fund since 1905, no part of which
has ever been expended on the
streets. He asked that the c0un-
Gil authorize him and the city at
torney to press the city's claim
for this Is per cent at the June
meeting of the county commits
sloners. This authority wa s
granted but no action was taken
on the mayors further recon-
mendatlon that the street and

eheerfully those things which fall
to our hand day by day. 1t is
after this fashion that the great
est works are accomplished; it is
by this method that the finest
characters are formed; it is in
this way that the wisest train
themselves for life.'
Telling the graduates that after
the newness of graduation had
worn off, one of the first feelings
that would come to them would
he one of disappointment that
they had been unable to retain in
memory so many of the facts so
patiently acquired during their
school days, the speaker explain
ed that true education could not
be rightly interpreted in terms of
dollars and cents or of facts re-
membered.
False Disssppsatnest
This little temporary fit of
disappointment is as false as it is
ill-founded," he continued. It
is pessimism, and the callow pes
simism Of untried youth, smart
ing under its first rebuff, is just
asunsafe a guide upon life's path
way as is the cynical pessimism
of sour. ill-natured age. Either
one means doubt, fear, discour-
agement; either foredooms to
fixture. All pessimism regards
life as a vanity of vanities and
not worth while. Itkills as sure
ly as hate kills, and is fatal alike
to all progress, patience, aspira-
tion and achievement. Life is
worth while. 1t is not a vanity
of yanities. It's only tales are
not of baffled ambition. failure,
and unrewarded toll. It's only
aim is not that we should labor
and eat and sleep to wake to la
Dor, like the brutes. All life is
education, preparation for here
and. hereafter. It is all growth,
growth through study, growth
through work, which rightly In
terpreted, means growth in spir-
itual relationships. Get over any
false sense of disappointment;
discard the smaller view, get the
larger view and keep it.
.."Use and growth. disuse and
decay, is as true in the mental
realm as in the physical or spirit
ual world. Whenever we rest
content with our mental posses
sions we are on the down grade.

stantly changing; new conditions;
new problems. are constantly call
ing for new adjustments. new So
lutions. We moult our ideas and
illusions Of yesterday to grow
better ones today. Information
soon becomes obsolete in an age
in which improvement dismantles
more machinery than wear and
tear, which sets up q creed one
week and upsets it the next,
which creates q hero yesterday
and changes his laurel wreath to
a FOOLS cap tomorrow. New
viewpoints are dominating each
of our todays and our pools Of
knowledge must continually
change or stagnate. When We
stop studying we fall behind.
Do not cease tostudy, then Grad
yates, because you are leaving

grow mentally or you will decay
mentally. Exercise your facul-
ties then. Claim your heritage

continually opening before you.

DETRoIT's SCHOOL OF THRIFT.
Judge Arthur J. Lncy Finds II
Rrfngs Good Results.

Chicago. April 25.-A compulsory school
of thrift in Detroit. according to the sys-
temdevised by Judge Arthur J. Lacy. Ot
the Domestic Relations Court, has proved
that the rud'ments Of thrift can be
taught Writing to President Simon "
Straus of the American Society FOL
Thrift. Judge Lacy said:
THE husband. in order to avoid arrest
is willing voluntarily to place himself
under the advisory supervision of :h1
court. He arranges to pay certain
amount of his wages into court; portion
is returned to him, and portion paid
to the wife. Where we consider II de-
sirabIe, he is required to render an ac-
count of all his expenditures. and his
wife to do likewise.
The result of the family accounting
department Is wonderful, and IL is eN-
ceedingly popular with the husbands, as
well as the wives. The money passing
through this department now amounts 10
about 200 a week. 1t checks intemper-
ance, extravaganza. improvidence. and
encourages thrift. economy, and business
methods We educate wives in buying.
BY a sliding scale or graduated allowance,
dependent on conduct, we are able, in
a measure. to control the conduct of the
wives and interfering relatives. The bet
ter they act, the more they get"
