LITTLE GIRL DIED.

On the night of Wednesday,
March IL, Minnie Davis, the little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard
Davis, who was crippled in the
great cyclone # March 13, 1913
was called to her last resting place.
Minnie was a sweet child, and
though she suffered much from the
time she was crippled until death
came to her relief, she bore the
pain as patiently as child could.
Though she never walked a step
after being injured, she carried
sunshine wherever she went, and
greeted her friends with cherry
word and bright smile.
She was 10 years, Z months and
II days old, and survived her in
juries 2 years and 4 days. Dear
parents, do not grieve for little
Minnie, for she is sweetly resting
in the arms of Jesus. The little
dear can not come back to us, but
if we will take Christ for an exam-
ample we can go to her and praise,
the Lord all our days for his good
ness and mercy.
May God bless the bereaved
parents and relatives, is the prayer
of .her.eUnt

oldest member of the Bethlehem

the gray through the civil war
and although he will never hear
the bugle call again, we feel conf
dent he will hear the greeting,
~Uell done, good and faithful serv-
aut, enterthou into the Joys of thy
alord." We condole with those
Neft behind, and admonish them to
live SO they will meet him in the
great beyond where they can re-
Jeice in the blessed Lord through

are necessary for Affirmative action,
and II an a%nti-fusion President Of the
Aldermen should form m offensive
and defensive alliance with the pres
ent political opponents of the admin
istration the allies could make con-
siderable trouble for Mayor Mitchell.
Moreover, In the absence or disability
Of the Mayor the President Of the
Aldermen succeeds to his duties.
Thus, had Mr.. Mitchell not resigned
from the Presidency Of the Aldermen
to take the Job Of Collector Of the
Port in June Of 1913 he would have
succeeded to the Mayors office on tho
death Of Judge GAYNoR. Under the
circumstances Alderman KLINE be-
came Mayor for the untitled term,
with all the powers his predecessor
had possessed.
The salary OF the President Of the
Aldermen is $1,000 a year. which was
recognized to be less than a man Of
Mr.. McANENY's' capacity was worth
to the city when he was elected. II
was then proposed that he should re-
ceive higher compensation. but he re-
fused to permit this. He insisted on
serving at the old rate.
Mr.. McANENY's decision to retire
to private life has caused some criti-
cism In various quarters, based Oh
the contention that he had established
a sort Of co~ntractual obligation, to
disregard which would be an unwor-
thy act on his part. This Is nonsense.
Mr.. McANESY has given ms President
Of Manhattan and President Of the
Aldermen nearly six years Of hard,
intelligent labor to his fellow citizens.

years, and the possible period OF his
public activities at forty-nine. Mr..

exacting can demand. lie does not
aspire to he n permanent tax eater

himself as essential in the govern

zens are not competent to obtain In

An Admirer OF Representative Gard
ner OF Massachusetts.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir: The
editorial article in THE SUN OF October
~ giving due credit To Representative
Gardner OF Massachusetts for his noble
fight against odds for national defence
was timely When we remember the
abuse and contumely that were heaped
upon him by his fellow members Of Con-
gress and many newspapers n how
p%atronizing remarks were made about
his campaign IN high quarters" Il
seems Ia he time the peoples attention
was called to tho difference between
~electing mere politicians to office, es-
pecially 10 Congress, and e~lecting men
like Mr.. Gardner. Such men have been
az scarce IN public life az hens teeth
since the civil war, We have had poll
ticians ad nauseam.

ner, but ! do remember his courageous
fight for preparedness, | hereby nomi-

M. WIckersham's Great Service to
the Voters.

We print to-day the last Of the nota-
BILE series Of letters In which MIR.
GEORGE w. W%IcKERsnAM has explained
and discussed. for the benefit of the
readers Of THE SuN and Of the people
generally. the proposed changes In the
Constitution Of the Empire state.
Taken together. these letters consti-
tute not only the most comprehensive
but also the most luminous commen-
tary available to New Workers called
upon to vote eleven days hence upon
the several amendments. Himself an
important factor in the constructive
WORT OF the convention and a conspic-
uous figure in its debates. the former
Attorney-Genera OF the United States
brought to his task Of exposition an
unusual familiarity with every aspect
Of the questions involved In the com
plsx scheme OF revision. This great
advantage Of thorough and particular
knowledge. combined with Mr.. Wick
ERsHAM's widely recognized talent for
clear and informing statement, has
produced printed results upon which
be is to he congratulated.
Especially true Is this as regards the
fairness Of Mr.. WIcKERsHAM's com.
ment. Although there were strongly
marked division Of opinion in the
convention. divisions which are pre-
served In the canvass for and against
the new Constitution, and although
Mr.. WIcKERsHAM may be described
as robustly partisan in his intellectual
habit, he has managed. we think, In
writing about matters in controversy
TO keep about as far away from mere
partisanship. in the political party
sense, as could he expected of ordi
nary human nature.
That is why Democrats as well al
Republicans are indebted to him fol
his letters on the Constitution; ant
that Is why THE Sun is referring al
inSuirers for information and advice
10 the valuable annotated compendium
which the former ACCOMPLISHMENT o.
the United States has prepared at oul
suggestion and which we have had tn,
privilege Of printing.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Wick
IRsHAM's presentation of the case wa
largely influential in producing tn
almost unanimous action Of the non
partisan Chamber Of Commerce yes
terday in favor Of adopting the new
Constitution.
