Learn to Help Yourselves

l fear that great majority of people, a
least in great majority of cases, simply sit
down when they run up against blind wall.
If they can call the plumber, or the butch
er, or the gardener, or the laundress, or. the
shoemaker, or the blacksmith, or the dairy
man, or the horse tamer-then a way
will be made for them. And that is what
your city life tends to do for your boys and
girls-set them to calling upon an endless
variety of specialists to help them surmount
life's problem. On the other hand farmer
boys and girls must learn to be all these
specialists. The consequence is. they grow
up with the feeling that they can and must
do it, no matter what befalls; and that feel
ing, or greatly miss my count, is the
secret of power of initiative. -Ex.

A Merry Christmas to all.
Yes, Christmas comes but once year,
and for that reason we should make tia
merry one.
Mass was held in the Auditorium last
Sunday, Father Corcoran officiating.
The time is drawing near when good res
olutions will be in order once more. Now
don wish for mule, if you do, you will
have plenty of hard kicks coming and only
yourself to blame.
Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance causes
more bodily and mental suffering than any
other thing under heaven.
1t will cost you nothing to make up your
mind to do better in the future. Just give
it fair trial and you will see how easy it
is.
Father Corcoran heard confessions last
Saturday afternoon in the Auditorium, be-
ing ably assisted by two other priests.
Over one hundred received Holy Com
munion Sunday morning. This indeed was
good showing for our community.
Eat, drink and be happy on Christmas
day.
Well, anyhow Turkey will get another
killing next Saturday.

Of Lucille
By J. B.

FOLLOWING poem is inspired after reading Ooen Meredith
(LMcile)
Immortal is that nobler soul of woman,
Undying the resplendent orb's bright gleam;-
Where in the wake of storm, that gloom, when
Thy sad ming heart lend'th more kindly beam;
What grandeur mounts, to lisp that sacred name,
Lucille! Where love denied,years fraught with grief
Thy famished heart with loves enkindled flame,
Didst soothe the ache of others with loves wreath
Tn translucent soul from its illumed shrine
Imprints on brow where latent grief would rest;
But from those eyes q mellow glow benign.
Soul-flled, enshrines the face with loneliness.

HOME RULE
SCHEME ILLUSORY
Citizens Union Analyses the
Constitutional Convention
Proposition.
CUMBERSOME IN METHOD

The Citizens Union d%isapprovcs Of the
home rule proposition reported TO the
Constitutional Convention on Thursday
by the committee on cities. of which
Seth Low is the chairman. Its objcc-
tons are set forth In an analysis OF the
measure prepared by Laurence Arnold
Tanzer. chairman of the organization S
constitutional convention committee.
In summarizing the main features or
the proposals on the basis of his analysis
Mr.. Tanner said
THE proposal does not confer home
rule in any fair sense Of the term.
lone rule means power granted to cities
to govern themselves. This proposal
gives no such power. IL gives oriN
power to propose to the Legislature
measures for a city's government. TO he
granted or withheld by the Legislature
at it's option and even this power Of
petition extends only over a narrow
field.
y power whatever Is granted to the
people of "A city, except that OF proposing
to the Legislature once In eight years
a new charter. II that is rejected by
the Legislature they cannot propose
another until the eight years are up.
They cannot at any time or in any way

legislation. With the single exception
above mentioned such power az is
granted is vested In the local authori-
tics without control by the people.
THE means Of exercising the narrow
powers granted are so cumbersome and
obstructive as to render even those
illusory. The adoption Of a new char
ter will require three elections. the
Ia bors Of A charter commission and a
sixty days submission TO the l.egisla-
ture. This process may take a period
Of from one and a half to four years.
The present vicious system OF special
city Legislation is permitted to continue.
cities will still he subject to that con-
STAN interference by the Legislature
with their local affairs which has given
rise to the movement for home rule.
Partisan political control OF municipal
affairs wiz be perpetuated. The great
evil OF the present system. an evil which
underlies the complaint against special
legislation and the entire home rule
movement. is the use OF the cities as
pawns in the game Of machine politics.
This evil will continue SO long as the
party which happens to have ~ majority
in the Legislature can extend It's powers
over the cities of the State.
Al sense OF responsibility will he de-
s,royed. When az act requires submis-
sion first to the people or 20 the local
authorities and then to the Legislature
neither will feel responsibility.
above all. II fails utterly to provide
for that local autonomy to which We
must look both for the relief of the State
Legislature from the ncubus Of local
affairs and FOR that growth of e%nlighten-
ment, responsibility and efficiency in our
cities upon which the future of democ-
racy depends, and which can come only
from the full and unobstructive exercise
of tina right Of local self-government
which lies at the foundation Of demo-
cratic government"
