REMEMBER THESE ALDERMEN.

Voters will do well to remember
the names OF the aldermen who are
now engaged in spending the public
money in the East. Some of these
fellows complain of hard times when
It comes to spending their own
money. They do not think Of the
taxpayers at all. Here is good rap
at them from the Chicago Journal:
After several days OF joyful junket.
ing at the taxpayers expense, some
OF the itinerant aldermen have dis
covered that Chicago ought to have
subways.
While Chicago long ago ceased to
have a high opinion of aldermanic
intelligence, II fails to understand
why even an alderman should need
TO go to Boston or Philadelphia to
ascertain fact that has been APP
parent TO some hundreds OF thou
sands OF straphangers for the last
ten years.
Junketing Is becoming popular
pastime at the city hall. Any excuse
at all serves to send party Of bibu
lous officials kiting across the coun
try on a picnic de luxe for which the
taxpayers pay the bills. Outside OF
the usual morning.after headaches
the net results OF these bacchanaliar
pilgrimages have been zero.

REDlsTRlcT STATE AND CITY.

Redistribution of Illinois twenty-five
Congressional and fifty.one Senatorial
districts, It Is generally believed in
political circles, will be undertaken
soon after the Fiftieth General AS
sembly convenes in January.
Discussion OF the question is ex.
pected 10 reopen the old controversy
over what shall be done to restrict
Chicago's representation in the Legis.
lature.
A possible compromise between
Chicago and the downstate members
was suggested by one Republican
Senate leader today.
1T might be possible to adopt
something like they have in New
York." said the senator. There, ]
understand, New York City's repre-.
sentation in the lower house is not
restricted, but its membership in the
Senate is limited to 40 per cent"
The Republicans now have clear
majority in both houses, and that
party's leaders In each are known to
believe the time TO cut up the state
into new congressional and legisla.
tive districts is opportune.
A Council subcommittee now is at
work on a plan 10 redraw Chicago's
thirty.five ward lines.

FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL CON.
vENrioN.

Illinois needs a new constitution.
The Citizens Association Of Chicago.
In its forty.hrst annual report, has the
following to say on the subject, which
voices the sentiments Of many good
citizens:
Greatly to our regret the General
Assembly failed to submit to the PEG.
pie of the state the question OF hold.
ing q constitutional convention. The
convention Joint resolution introduced
by Senator Edward G. Curtis was
adopted by the Senate on March 18th
by an almost unanimous vote. But
when the matter came to vote In
the House on March 31st, the vote on
the joint resolution was 92 In favor
and 80 opposed, with 20 members alb.
sent or not voting. Thus the meas
ure failed by the narrow margin Of ten
votes to receive the 102 votes con.
stituting the two.thirds required by
law.
I'VE are informed by the officers Of
the Constitutional Convention League,
which had the convention campaign
In hand, that the league had received
assurances from los members of the
House that they favored the submis.
sion Of the convention question to the
people; and that most of these were
In the form of written pledges to vote
for the necessary Joint resolution. Ac.
cording to the league, II representa-.
tives who had given such assurances
either opposed the resolution or failed
to vote on 1t. Fourteen Of these. nine
OF whom represent Cook county dis
tricts. had given unqualified written
pledges.
"Our belief in the necessity of hold.
ing constitutional convention has
not been shaken by this temporary de.
feat. Sooner or later-and certainly
before very long-the small minority
Of the legislature which has had the
temerity to refuse to allow the peo'
pie OF Illinois to decide whether they
desired a constitutional convention
will have to give way.
I'VE shall continue to do our ut
most TO bring about the calling Of a
constitutional convention because we
are convinced that the convention
plan affords the most practicable
means of securing a shorter ballot
better and more economical local gov
eminent through needed consolidation
OF the city, county, Sanitary District
and other taxing bodies of Cook coun
ty; and broader charter powers fol
Chicago that are necessary to the
city's welfare"

TRIES TO RETURN TO WAR

Having already lost a leg In the
service of the allies, Lieut.. Theodore
Mnrburg, Jr., Of Baltimore, son Of the
former American minister to Belgium,

Rear Admiral Thomas Il. Howard,
who retired recently, had held many
Of the most important posts of the

over those left behind.
Captain Howard raised his COM

Bethmann-Hollweg, chancellor OF
Of the German empire. is prOdigious
worker. He has vigorous health and
a tough, wiry body, and few men can
spend more hours day at desk. At
seven o'clock every morning he takes
q ride of an hour in the park. Then
follows the simple German breakfast,
and the long days work begins imme-
diately after that.
But the days work Is with him a
rather indefinite expression, according
to a writer In the Century, for he
often returns to II in the evening. and
is sometimes kept at his desk till mid
night. He is so absorbed I'm his work,
and has withal so little liking for
public functions and ceremonies. that
his critics have sometimes seized upon
this fact to blame him for being
something of recluse and showing
himself too seldom In public. In fact,
the chancellor has never utilized the
