Nv yoU we mean the Taxpayers
Voters. Citizens of Detroit.
The Business OF Operating tne
CITY of Detroit is an Enormous Susi-
ness.
It costs about $40, 100000 a year
You are the stockholders In that
Business.
1t Is your business.
Your VIII Should Rule.
Now Your VIII Does NOT RULE
Systems OF Business and Govern
ment that we have outgrown, Poll
teal Alliances and Ambitions that
have Dutgrown Us Have Gradually
Loosened Your Control over the
City Government-Your BUSINESS.
We Repeat the New Charter Re-
stores the Government of the city
to YOUR HANDS.
HOW?
You have the Power and oppor-
tunity-with the New Charter--to
Hlfe component hHu AAOHNSN SeN'
ficers.
And Remove them from office II
they Don't Prove Competent and
Honest
Let us tell you that which you
probably already know
What the Initiative, Referendum
and Recall-~proyided by the New
Charter-mean 20 YOU:
First, the Recall
Suppose your Mayor or your Al
derman or any elective city officer
prove incompetent or UNFIT for office
you will not have to wait until
his term expires-You do now.
You can Remove him.
That Is the Relief and Remedy
promised by the Recall
You circulate a petition That
petition-when signed by 20 per
cent (one-qnarter) OF the number
OF voters OF that electoral district
COR ward who at the last election
voted for Mayor-will do one OF two
things.
That petition will Force the Dis
credited Oficeholder to Resign,
IL will force him 10 Come Before
You at Another Election which the
Election Commission will can--at
your Demand.
The Detroit times., 1914-02-06

II He is Unft--He is Rejected.
He is RECALLED.
Let us look more closely into
this:
The power the New Charter gives
to you---To Recall q city officer Is
NOT NEW.
1t has been in operation for Cen
erations-
In Every Successful and Effective
Business Organization an Incom-
petent Foreman is Discharged on
Short Notice.
An Incompetent President is asked
to Resign on Short Notice.
That is the Power OF Directors and
Stockholders
That is Vital Business Necessity.
1t makes for Business Efficiency
business Organization uses the Re-
call.
Why shouldn't the Business of
Detroit and the stockholders.
Thereln-YOU USE the Recall
TRUE-The New Charter Gives
the Mayor and the Common Council
Greater Powers. Greater Authority.
but the New Charter Safeguards
those greater Powers with the Still
Greater Power 81 Gives You--That
Is the Power Of Recall.
EVERY CITY oFTICEHOLDER
MUST TOE THE MARK.
Second-The Initiative.
There are good and bad alder
There are good and badWcommon
councils.
Common Councils are precisely as
good as the Aldermen who compose
and control them. And Aldermen are
good Just so far as they look after
the interests OF the city and obey
the Instructions OF the citizens OF
the wards who elect them.
The Best Aldermen Make Mis-
takes
The Worst Aldermen Do Worse.
AND NOW YOU. VOTERS AND
TAXPAYERS HAVE NO REMEDY
OR REDRESS.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO

CROP OF CHERRIES
SHORT THIS YEAR
Farmers Fail to Spare Time
for Harvesting on Small
Fruit.

With the completion of the straw
berry season, pineapples now begin to
occupy the center Of the market. The
crop of Florida pineapples is stod to
be short this year and the size of the
fruit smaller than usual. Prices quot
ed by local dealers today run from Is
to 20 cents. This price is higher than
last year The dry weather of the
south is assigned as the cause of the
shortage.
Supplies of cherries received by
local dealers seem to indicate short
age in this crop. Cherries are now
ten cents IA quart with not much pos
sibility of dropping lower. Many farm
ers have trees loaded with the fruit
but are not sparing the time to pick
it. Bushels lots are quated at $3.50.
A few blackberries and rasberrieS
have been placed on the local market
; Home grown berries are said to be
fairly plentiful The demand for
apples is light at this season and they
are taken from cold storage as raeded
to fill orders. The apple crop will fall
short this year.
Tomatoes are still selling at ten
cents per pound. This is an average
price for this time and the price will
decline within a short time.
Green beans and peas are plentiful
and selling at fifteen cents per small
measure.
New potatoes are still quoted at
| fifteen cents.

Then Helen went back to her own

globes before their apartment shone

Helen released Warren's arm and

She could hear Nora moving around

Women's Club Concert.

The Women s Club Concert which
was presented at the Armory Wednes-
day evening, was one of the best
entertainments ever given in Dallas
All of those participating seemed to
be at their best. Those who failed
to attend missed great treat in mu-
sic. Dallas is well supplied with mu-
steal talent and are thereby enabled
to put on any kind of program
either instrumental or vocal
There was good audience present
to enjoy the feast of music placed
before them, and all present unite in
giving praise to those participating.
The Women s Club is one of the
most wide awake organizations in
our city, and whatever they do they
do it right.
Such entertainments as this are al
ways appreciated by the public.
There is nothing that will do more
to make the world better than mu-
sic, which stirs and brings out all the
better elements of mankind, and the
ladies of this club should have a
unanimous vote of thanks for the
very excellent entertainment which
they gave Wednesday evening.
