With all it accomp1ishes it's object and sends every mother and father home thinking.

MORAN OBJECTS TO FEEDING ALDERMEN
 AT CITY'S EXPENSE
But His Kick is Futile And Council Approves Dinner
 Check For $24.S5.

Alderman Moran voiced his protest against members of alderman1c com mittees eating at the ctty's expense when last night at the common coun- ci1 meeting he held up for a time the finance committees report. The report, after the usual custom, was being sent through the council on greased ways, when Alderman Moran objected.
 Your honor" he said, addressing the mayor, 'I find under incidenta1s in this report an item, Otto Lehman, dinners, $24.85.' would like to ask who has received those dinners. It seems there should be some explana- tion.''
 City Clerk Robinson said that the bill was contracted by the streets and sidewalks committee who were out all day making their estimates for the year and they went to Lehmann's s for dinner.
 .'I don't approve of this at a1l," demonstrated Alderman Moran. ttIt seems to be regular thing. find other bills for $7.16 for the same thing and there are other dinner bills for greater amounts. Why should . the board of aldermen the city of Bridgeport pay foTa these? I thought there was a department of charities which looked after such matters
 Alderman Walker said: .T pre- sume these bills were for the streets i and sidewalks committee. One of them I know was for the 1egis1a- tive committee and we had other city officials with us when we went to Hartford. We were away from home all day and I think since we all gave up our time for nothing we were at least entitled to dinner at city ex- pense. If the aldermen oppose this, however, I for one, will never eat at the city's expense again As for the streets and sidewalks committed, when we go out on city tour it is much easier to go eat together than ! to take every man to his home and then go after him again and thereby lose about three hours each tine-'' It was voted that the finance com rn1ttee's report be accepted and the dinner bill be considered separately. Alderman Moran then moved that the dinner bill be referred back to the 1 finance committee. Aldermen Nor an, Casey and McHugh voted in favor of this motion. All the other alder men were opposed. Aldermen Whit ] ney, Frederick and Delaney were all on their feet at once trying to pre- sent motions to have the bill paid. It was finally so voted.

OiJARREI.S BETWEEN
 PUBLIC MEN

The recnt episode occurring when ex-Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft met as pall-bearers at a funeral has revived discussion as to the personal relations of these two famous men. Accounts of that par ticular incident vary. Some reporters have it that the hand shake was pure W cool and formal while others see enough warmth in it to suggest re- viv1a1 of their former intimacy.
 Mr. Taft and MT. Roosevelt said some severe things about each other. But. the capacity of public men for overlooking the rough and tumble or public debate seems marvellous to the average man.
 Ninety-nine out of a hundred people are too sensitive to criticism. The mo- nnent anything is said in the local community adverse to their personal fty. ideas, or manners, they fiercely resent it as a malicious attack.
 Yet there is very little personal nnal- ice in daily life in either personal or business relations. Criticism is the saving salt of fife. Without it private life would go stale and public, life would be rotten with corruption.
 Most public men soon learn to steel themselves against ordinary personal attack They find out that they can learn much more and gain much mere help rom opponents tLA1d1 II friends The friends flatter and con- 'ceaI criticisms. Their opponents re- veal real weaknesses. A wise public man notes these revelations of the flaws in his own ideas and his own record, and corects his course to meet them.
 wherefore the feuds of public life are far from everlasting. A debate may ranl1le with denunciation. Yet be taken in a Piclkwickian sense.
 The Taft-Roosevelt row went deep. The wounds of former friends sink far. But these two are big men. The passing years soften many wounds, and it's a fair guess that they may heal this one. There's something wrong when two men can't ediffer ra- ideally on politics, and yet unite in personal friendship.
