Citizens Give Reasons

From statements given The Age Herald yesterday by representative citizens, the assurance that the five commissioner bill will be repudiated June 28 is made doubly sure.
 The majority of those who expressed opinions, stated reasons. In very few of them is spleen, bitterness or de- nunciation to be found Each man, apparently, has a sound business req son for opposing the proposition of the legislative delegation from this county.
 This is as it should be. While there was no demand for the bill, and while the document is in many respects weak, and in several dangerous, it should be beaten primarily because it would create an unbusiness-like situa- tion.
 It is a significant fact easily ascer- tainable that instead of increasing the members of the governing body, the people would further concentrate ex- ecutive effort by reducing the num- Der of commissioners. There is no question but that the city manager plan is rapidly growing in popular favor

Mules Are Mules

Is mule mule, or is mule a horse? This is the question up for set clement before the Minnesota supreme bench.
 Upon decision now pending in this court depends the future rank and dig nifty of the long cared Missouri "war- bler." According to reports of the case, George Greer stole a team of mules in Steele county, Minnesota. He was captured and now his captors are suing for the $200 standing reward for the arrest and conviction of a horse thief.
 Right here comes in the question of whether mule is horse. According to the reward seekers a mule is 50 per cent horse. The man, it is alleged, stole two mules. Therefore, he stole the equivalent of one horse. The award for experimenting the stealer of a horse is $2OO. Figured on this basis, it sounds like problem out of Rays Mental Arithmetic.
 But the question is not without its perpleXing angles, which render de- cision as difficult as that which formed the basis of the now world re- nowned story, Pigs is Pigs" Whichever way the Minnesota su- preme court decides the case, it is a safe bet that in respect to vocal scale and heel action, mule is mule-all mule

Money for Moving the Crops

A statement in one of the financial news reports yesterday that demand for money for crop moving is enlarg- ing and rates are firmer,' calls to mind previous years when strain on the banks, and indirectly on the commercial world, began at harvest time and grew very acute about the first of September.
 Commercial borrowers in many cities dreaded the early fall for the reason that they had to wait before negotiating large loans until the crops had been moved ald the money market had become easy.
 -,ut the federal reserve board will
 lure be able to relieve the situ- ation. The grain crops are enormous this year and more money than usual will be needed to move them. But the reserve board will see to it that there be no severe strain on the banks.

tria defends herself with more ability than she has shown so far. There is doubtless some basis of truth for this report. The dual monarchy has made such a wretehed showing in the war that the highly efficient Germans may well lose patience with their less con- petent ally. Furthermore, the Hun garians, who are in close touch with the Germans and good soldiers, are said to be humiliated by the situation and anxious to save themselves from the expected ruin of the Hapsburg house.
 No matter how the war ends, the future is not promising for the realm of Francis Joseph.

The Visit of the Greeks
Sir. we would see Jesus.o

"Sir, we would see Jesus"
 We are told that there were cer- tain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the great Passover feast; the same came therefore to Philip saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
 It was Monday of His last week. For one year now He had realized that He could not win the people for His spiritual kingdom. They had fol- lowed Him in great multitudes, but after the feeding of the five thousand it was borne in upon Him that they did not yet understand. They were anxious for bread, they desired to be cured, they enjoyed the thrill of His miracles, and some of them wished to make Him king that is follow His leadership against the Roman op- pressors. But they did not see the real nature of His mission, they did not yearn for His holiness, they did not apprehend the abundant life" which He promised and which He sought to

HAwAWs RAILWAY PAYS

From the Chicago Herald
 Twenty years ago the railway system on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii had 231% miles of track. Now there are 127 miles. including plantation spurs. At first this railroad almost ruined its promoters. Now it is one of the best paying invest ments in the Hawaiian archipelago The company owns 22 locomotives. A pa ssen- ger cars and 52o freight cars. It has 5000 feet of wharf and can store 2o,OoO tons of sugar.
 Taxes on property from Eva to Ka- huku plantation, writes a Honolulu cor respondent of Commerce Reports. which is tapper by the railway. amounted at the time the road started to BPS, ,S53, in 1914 the taxes on the same property totaled S3l0,000 This is one example how the land along the line has increased in value in the last 20 years. The railroad paid SS7,324 in taxes in 1914 which means that every two years the company pays back to the government the amount of the subsidy granted to the railroad, which was $l969 9so. The gross earnings of the road 20 years ago were $l2OOoo and now they are S1, ,3OO000 the freight earnings were s4s,ooo and today they are ss1SoOo. the passenger earnings were S25,0OO and now they are $300,00O
 Twenty years ago 79,0O0 passengers were carried yearly, while in 1914 about 1,140,- GOO persons patronized the cars. This railroad, which starts in Honolulu. taps the largest sugar plantations in the islands and skirts the shores of Pearl har- bor, where the United States government is building S2,0o0.o00 naval station and dry dock.

"Although it is not often so recognized, the raiding of a crap game in which ne- groes are participating is the most dan gerous work which a policeman has to do," said Sergeant George Bagley. 'I had rather go to arrest a murderer any time than to raid big negro crap game. 1 believe it is less dangerous,
 Many officers do not seem to realize what chances they take in raiding these big games I remember a hair-raising experience once with a man whom I will not name for obvious reasons. We were working as Southside inside scouts d the tiiie time and much of our beat lay in a tough negro section.
 "One Saturday night we spotted big game in an old two-story vacant house and decided to raid it. I went to the back and my partner to the front, which is the usual method of procedure. We didn't have any trouble in making the arrests, although we found the negroes inclined to be sullen and make trouble.
 While we were preparing the commit ment slips there was noise at the back as of someone tiptoeing out the door Leaving my partner to hold the prisoners, | dashed out and found a big buck sneak Ing out. He had hidden on little gall lery up the second story and had escaped our net. I grabbed him. but he wanted to argue the matter. It was several min utes before I could convince him that the wiser course was to go into the room in which we had corralled all the negroes while waiting for the wagon.
 "As I walked into the room, peering over the negros shoulder, a sight met my eyes which sent a creepy feeling down my spine. My partner, sitting at rickety table on which was standing a smoking oil lamp, his gun on the table and entirely surrounded by negroes was writing commitment slips.
 T made up my mind right then that l was going to get another partner. If the boob didn't have any better sense than to sit there where a negro could have dashed out the light w;;n one mo- | ton and killed him before he could have | moved I decided that didn't care to risk 1 my life working with him."

SUPERIOR ENGLIsHMEN.

The report comes from Birmingham, England, that plan to employ women s bus and tramcar, conductors has been abandoned because the men refused to instruct the women In their duties or to move the vehicles on which they were employed. We have here fine example of the Englishman's pigheadedness at time when England presumably needs her able bodied males for the firing line and wishes to replace them at home by women, who are quite competent to transact the not very important duties of conductors aboard tram cars and busses Birming- ham traction men will be conciliated by the employment of youths under IS years of age and men too old for military duty No wonder Mrs Panhurst and her fol- lowers got out of patience with English men. The Birmingham type is fairly rep resentative.

impart. He turned sadly away from them unto His remaining hope of so impressing His spirit upon His few disciples that He could safely leave His work with them.
 For six months more He was in Gal flee, but mainly in desert places with the few of His chosen. Then He set His face toward Jerusalem, where He foresaw the end. It was a slow, heavy hearted journey of half-year. They were sad days for the Son of Man. Be- hind Him was the memory of great refusal, before was the shadow of a greater. His soul was bowed not chiefly for His own grievous estate, but for the shallow selfishness and dull unbelief of the people. And all ways there followed Him, and before there beckoned Him, the relentless hate of His ancient enemies, the rulers of church and state.
 Gradually He draws toward Jerusa- lem. Saturday He rests in Bethany. Sunday He enters the city with the waving palms, the spread garments and the shouting multitude. But He gives no sign of His kingship, He proclaims no authority, and the en- thusiasm quickly dies. Another night in Bethany, and Monday morning He begins to walk down the flaming aisles of the last week. Unbelief, rejection, misrepresentation hatred, persecu- tion, pain, humiliation, death-these attend and await.
 It was just at this time, on Mon day, when the Greeks come. His heart is touched and His tired eyes look out through the incident upon the pleasing invitation to other fields. Other aliens whom He had met had astonished and pleased Him with their generous faith. Now these are here quickening the old impression. Why should He not follow these strangers to their own land? Why should He not leave the land of His blood to find the land of His heart? The people had rejected Him; why should He force Himself on them? Athens, Corinth, Rome invited, with career like Paul's.
 Be silent, world, while your Lord thinks. Will there be even the shadow of turning now? Will there be even the smallest concession to self?
 Hear the answer. "No, no. Except corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit"
 He sees beyond His death the widen ing confines of His kingdom, and is satisfied

Let's Have Civic Pride and Unity

Let nave AiNiC Tlue dHu OHllY
 When the Greater Birmingham bill was passed a little more than five years ago this city took leap for ward, and in the census table was moved up from the very bottom of the list of HOO largest American munich palities" to thirty-sixth place.
 The fact that the census bureau credited Birmingham with a larger percentage of growth in the last decade than any other city that was above the 100000 mark was a great advertisement for the south's striding industrial center. There was much jubilation, yet in few of the outlying sections, commonly but er- roneously called suburbs, a certain aloofness was manifested and some of that feeling is still in evidence. This is regrettable What this community needs is more city consciousness and less group consciousness.
 No city can go ahead and prosper as it should unless there be a get-to- gether spirit. Civic pride is great as- set for any city and along with public spirit should be that unity of feeling making always for thrift and happi- ness.
 New York is the only city in the United States that has the borough system. Because of the very large population of Brooklyn and some of the other suburbs that were con solidated the commission having charge of the Greater New York measure deemed it advisable to es- tablish boroughs with a certain de- gree of autonomy as units of a great whole. Even Chicago with it's immense population did not consider the bor- ough plan when the city limits were extended so as to embrace all of Cook county. Chicago is noted for it's civic unity. And such unity should charac- terize all cities, large and small
 For the sake of convenience and for sentimental reasons, too, it is but natural that old local names be re- tained in popular designation But it is of the highest importance that city unity prevail.
 The Birmingham Chamber of Com merce and other civic organizations here will do a wholesome educational work by fostering the city unity idea. With such feeling prevalent the task of upbuilding and bettering will be all the easier of accomplishment.

PEACE
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star. There is no peace for him whose hours
 drift by In reckless pleasure or In needless rest Who sees no storm cloud on tho
 mountain crest, And views alone the blue and placid sky. When loyal love is left to fade and die. We squander Natures dearest gifts and
 best.
 Then fortitude grows feeble and
 distressed And fails to give response to honor's cry. To him who holds himself for dutys call Nor shrks the truth that duty has to
 speak,
 Who scorns to take his place among
 the weak, Eut turns him to lls task. though great
 or small; Who shinks not when the darkest shadows
 fall-
 To ham comes peace that others vainly
 seek.

The TeIcnhone Voice

There is more than one imagines in the telephone voice." said Edward Lyons, desk sergeant on the morning shift of the police department. Despite the fact that 1 work from Il o'clock at most constantly using the telephone, and it is surprising how few people have a pleasing voice over the wire.
 T find the tendency of the majority of men when talking over the telephone is to speak too loudly and too fast When one talks to perhaps 15O men in one night he is very apt to finish with splitting headache. Then there are the men who go to the opposite extreme and humble their words, sounding as if they were half a block from the transmitter. This type forces a man to strain himself to understand what he is saying and also induces headache
 Most women when speaking over the telephone talk through their nose, rolling their 'rs with great relish. They have habit of putting their mouth fairly into the transmitter. sending over the wire a sound like roaring water. When woman has good telephone voice 1t is joy to listen to her talk.
 T should think that 1t would be profit able for telephone companies to pay some attention to this feature in considering applicants for positions. A telephone op- orator can make me sore just by the way she says 'Number? or by telling me the line is busy. Others say Busy in a re- gretfnl tone, which makes you sure that they are as sorry as you are and are not telling you Busy just for spite"

HUERTA IN AMERICA

From the Savannah News.
 Although President Wilson helped to drive him out of Mexico. practically charging him with the deaths of Madero and Suarez, it is a remarkable fact that General Huerta since he came to this country has talked little and in what he has had to say there Is no criticism of President Wilson. He has indulged in no wild talk. but has kept his temper, rides to his office in New York every day like an ordinary business man. spends lots of time with his family and seems to enjoy his pleasant home life. He calls himself guest of the United States" and evidently knows what a guests con duct should be.
