LOGIC AND THE NEW CHARTER

WHAT PROCESS of logic does Mayor Wilson at - the conclusion that chardr which had all the votes cast has vital defecs than mayor who had only few of the votes cast?
 In this country public get their from the votes of the people, That must be held most unsas factory which gets the most opposition from the community thing may be good but the votes show whether the munity wants it, or doesn't
 The charter had pretty nearly all the votes cast Six every who the machines pulled the lever over were for it. ##
 Mayor Wilson had votes the charter but the people of Bridgeport didn't want him for mayor More two thousand voted against him than voted him. He is mayor merely convenience.
 It is easier in the whole to let the who has only plu ray of votes be than to hold elections until somebody has majority.
 As between the mayor and the charter no doubt what the public wants It is for the charter against mayor. 6l

 If not to have all the votes that theoretically Bridgeport conclusive the presence of vital defects much valy defective must minority mayor majority charter is?

THE harden MEMORIAL
eY Or. FRANh CRANE
Copyright. 1875. By Frank Crane,

Into the home of H. f. Barden, at Ke-
nosha. Wisconsin, stalked that visitor
who "desccnds with equal footstep to the
hall and hut
His attendants, Horror and Heart
break were with him.
He laid his hand on the youngest son
of the home, and the little fellow followed
him off. into the land of mystery and
nevermore. as all of us must go when
the order comes.
Out of the ashes of the fathers grief
arose beautiful thought, that unfolded
into beautiful deed.
He would build a memorial to the child
he had loved land lost awhile"
Others have erected memorials Man
is the tomb-building animal. There is the
Taj Mahal. jewel of extravaganza love.
There are the pyramids where kings re-
posed There are the churches, libraries,
colleges and all manner Of buildings, and
endowed causes.
A thought of pure love is in each Of
them, but not always thought of wis
dom nor of beauty.
Mr. Bardens thought was beautiful
and wise as well rs loving.
On Arbor Day he gave to every child
in town small catalpa tree. Through
the public schools he distributed three
thousand trees, together with instruc-
tions about their planting and care.
You see. the little dead boy did not
live on as cold and silent mass of stone,
the vain advertisement Of vain grief, but
he grew, his memory grew as green
thing in the hearts of many children his
gone life was reincarnated in the most
beautiful thing God ever made--a tree.
The next year as many soft naples
we're given, and the following year elms.
Mary d. Bradford, superintendent Of
schools tells US that a careful canvass
and report Of the tree planting was made
the second year, and 93i of the catalpas
and S5l Of the naples were found thriv-
ing. though this number was doubtless
too small, as many of the children had
moved away or passed on to the high
school.
In 1915 says Mrs. Bradford, every
child carried home a fine, healthy little
apple tree This was regarded as the
greatest gift of ALL A careful demon
stration Of the right way to plant the
tree was made at each school by the
principal or janitor. It was an interest
ing sight to see the children pouring
out Of the schools on Arbor Day. each
with tree, the roots carefully wrapped
in paper
Blessed is little Emil Barden, whose
memory lives on in green leaves and
running sap and blessed his fathers
thought, and blessed too the army OF
children whose hands have been guided
by a consecrated inspiration to do about
the cleanest, most unqualifiedly useful
thing a mortal can do--to plant tree.
