COUNCIL DEFERs ACTION ON SCHOOL BOARD
APPOINTEES- OTHER COUNCIL NEWS

The city council last night deferred
action on the mayors school board
appointees for a week. Every MEM
Der of the council, 70 in all, voted for
delay.
. The council pulled an interesting
move in the creation of a committee
on standards and apportionment.
This committee will be sub-com-
mittee of the finance committee and
will work all-year-round on the bud
get. Henchmen of the administration
oppose it and here's why:
This committee will have power to
investigate all Of the city depart
ments to learn how much money
they really need to run efficiently.
At present all the departments, it is
claimed, ask the budget makers for
almost double the amount really
needed. If they slip it over there are
SO many more political plums to he
handed out.
Aldermen who opposed the ordl-
nance raised clouds of dust about
the issue. At one time the atmos-
phere grew SO, thick that Aid. 'Rchert
began to get worried.
Ppm going to tell you what you are
going to be up against in making up
the next budget" he said. "The leg
islature recently saddled us with
81, 400, 90 worth of expenditures with
out corresponding revenue. Our taxes
have only increased 100000. What
the loss will be from saloon licenses
and other sources don't know. Our
city departments want $8,OOO,OOO
more than we can give them. So we
are up against the proposition of
eliminating $4,40O,000 from the
budget.

bigger. Last year it amounted to

will cooperate. This measure is not
an attack on the administration. 1t
was not intended as such. will pro-
tect the comptroller and the admins
tration so long as they do what is
right"
In former years the efficiency COM
mittee of the civil service CONN used
to help the aldermen in their esti-
mates. Whenever the aldermen want
ed to investigate a department this
body was asked to do it.
Last spring the efficiency commit
tee was found to be inefficient by the
civil Service board and it's members
were ousted. A new committee was
created. With this one, being semi
political, the finance committee did
not have much faith in reports. Now
the committee wants its own experts.
The former ordinance was passed
and vetoed by the mayor. Some of
the Objectionable features were elm
mated and it was again introduced.
This time it passed by a vote of 43 to
26. The mayor says if it is illegal he
will veto it.
Here are some minor actions taken
by the aldermen.
Aid. Captain asked finance COM
mittee to probe consolidation of diff
ferent city departments for economy.
Unanimously passed order naming
recreation pier Municipal Pier"
Aid. Block asked that car company
be prosecuted for failing to comply
with better service order on Cottage
Grove line. Action deferred.
Aid. Merriam's order probing fit
ness of Dentist Reid to hold down
smoke inspectors job handed to the
finance committee.

prove an ordinance allowing Moody

BE HONEST BOYS.

Sit down and think about it boys.
Do you really want to be honest men ?
Men who can be trusted anywhere?
And with any amount of money? Then
you must begin by being honest now.
Never allow yourself to take or retain
single penny that is not rightfully
your own. Take nothing without per-
mission, or without giving something
in return. Pick no berries that are
not on your side of the fence. Go into
no orchards where you do not belong.
Plumber no melon patches, nor gar
dens, nor cheat your little playmates
in any trade.
God loves honest boys, and he loves
honest men. He says that the man or
boy, who is faithful in little, will also
be faithful in much,' and we know
that none but the faithful ones will
find place in the kingdom. You stifie
the voice of conscience when you al
low yourself to take what does not
belong to you. You scar, or burn it
with hot iron, so that it cannot feel;
and if you keep on doing wrong, keep
on being dishonest, you will after
awhile not care at all, and will be-
come, il may be, robbers and murder
ers, and lose all the bright things God
has promised to the good. Be honest,
boys!

The habit of frequent and hearty
laughter will not only save you many

as good health in the maxim, Laugh

Laughter is foe to pain and dis

Laughter and good cheer make

Laughter keeps the heart and face

IRISH GREETINGS.

A Tipperary, correspondent writes:
with the decadence of the Irish Ian
guage in parts of Ireland one of the
most pitable results is the dying out of
the sweet old Irish greetings. In
County Waterford and parts of Tip
perary we still hear them but rarely
now" He encloses the following
verses:
I'm Irish homes, where God is lov'd
and praised,
IT'S Joy when evening comes and latch
is raised,
Be kindly neighbors, friend or cousin
dear,
To hear the kindly wish-God save al
here.
Or when in Irish soil the plough sinks
deep,
Or sickle glistens at the harvest reap;
'Gainst evil things which may in flu
ture Turk,
How apt from passer-by-God bless
the work.
And when a parting comes and loved
ones go,
From home and parents far for veal
or woe;
To hear the final words, as off they
speed,
May God be with you-it is sweet in.
deed.
Oh may it be when life has passed for
each,
Of those whose kindly words such
faith can teach;
That they may see in golden letters
clear,
Ger Heav'n's portals-Come, God
saved all here.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1915-07-31

The modern champions of Catholicity
have been possessed of this same mill
tant characteristic, as we are remind
ed when we recall the names of Lud-
wig Windthorst, the hero of the Ger
man Center party; of Archbishop
Hughes, the apostle of the Catholic
parochial schools, and of Mother
Drexel, the Angel of the Indian mis-
sions. They loved their Faith and
their best efforts were given to its adj
yancement.
Today, more than ever before, the
world needs aggressive Catholic men
and women to hold aloft the ideals OF
Christianity and elevate every phase
of human living. This aggressiveness
is needed in our parish life to strength
en- our religious societies; it is needed
in our social life to break down the
barriers of bigotry rampant around
us; and it is needed in our political
life in taking away the prejudice which
holds Catholics under disability in
seeking public Office.
| Every Catholic should ask himself;
Am | aggressive in the big mission
that has been entrusted to me? What
am l doing to win my separated
brethren to the standard or the Cross
of Christ ?"-The Brooklyn Tablet.

ELIzABETH's CHOICE.

This is a true story about a little
girl named Elizabeth. She was ten,
and she had a sister Lucy, who was
eight, and little sister Frances, who
was only four.
They were very nice little girls and
they loved one another dearly. Eliza
beth was generous and unselfish, and
often sacrificed her own pleasure to
make her sisters happy.
Grandma liked to reward Elizabeth
for her unselfshness, and SO, one day,
she said to Aunt Daisy:
81 have asked the little girls to come
over this morning and get the pres
ents we brought them from Europe
am going to let Elizabeth choose the
one she likes best. l think she de-
serves reward for sending Frances
driving with Aunt Mary yesterday, in
her place. She was very good to give
up her treat to make her little sister
happy"
The little girls soon arrived, and
grandma kissed them and helped to
take off their coats and hats. Then
she led them into the living room.
The three gifts we're lying in their
boxes on the table: turquoise ring,
a little pearl locket, and bracelet
with tiny clover on it.
"Oh, how lovely!" cried Elizabeth.
Weren't you good to bring us such
pretty presents, grandma"
Which is for me?" asked Lucy,
with shining eyes.
Me choose, grandma" said little
Frances, with an engaging smile.
mo, DEAR" answered grandma,
Elizabeth is to have first choice this
