CHARTER BODY
WOULD PURIFY
CITY ELECTIONS

The submission to the people OF
an election reform amendment to
simplify the present election system
and to prevent political control OF
precincts. will be recommended by
the mayors charter committee.
II is proposed, by charter amend
ment, TO create an election commits
sion consisting OF the city clerk, cor
poration counsel, president Of the
civil service commission, recorder
and senior justice of the police
court. This commission would APP
point three resident registrars OF
election in every precinct. Public
examinations of applicants for the
position of registrar are provided
for. ...
Inspectors would be chosen at n

containing 1000 names. For each
election the commission would hold
a drawing TO obtain three inspectors
for each precinct Under this ar
rangement an inspector would not
serve in the precinct in which he
resides. Vacancies on the election
boards would be filled by the com
mission according TO the prescribed
methods.
A section was added 10 the pro-
posed public utilities amendment

OF grade separations. with authority
TO order the railroads 10 do any

proposed amendment for separation
OF elections for further discussion.

Detroit Symphony
With MQCrnilLen
Gives Fine Concert

After hearing the concert OF the
Detroit Symphony orchestra. Friday
afternoon, in the Detroit opera
house. there could be no doubt
in the minds of music lovers,
and those who have been interested
in the effort TO establish sym
phony orchestra In this city. that a
very firm foundation has been es-
tablished in the building TO this end.
No loyal Detroiter could have come
away from the concert unenthused
and feeling other than that the or
ganization is making wonderfully
rapid strides at each of its public
appearances, and that il can do many
things exceHently.
Il, The program Was Of Just the Eight

applause and the artist was recalled
innumerable times at the close. II
would have given the audience the
greatest pleasure TO have heard Mr..
Macmillen play again. but the rigid
rule against encores established by
the orchestra could not he broken,

since the orchestra began its young

We go further than the friends OF

as the only man who has spoken out
loudly and courageously In Americas .
present situation. We are willing to
concede that II Americas present
situation were totally different from
what 1t is today, the colonel would
just the same have spoken loud and
courageously. II, for example, thers
had been no war in Europe and no
trouble in Mexico, and the great issue
before the people In this election year
were woman suffrage or prohibition,
Mr.. Roosevelt would have been. the
only man to meet the prohibition or
woman suffrage needs of the country.
just as he Is today the only man to
solve the problem of Americanism.
And II the question Of the moment
we're the existence Of a polar conti-
nent, Mr.. Roosevelt would be the
only man to whom we could look for
a patriotic and enlightened opinion
about the North pole. 1t is doing in
justice to the colonel's gifts to imag-
Inc that 1918, 1920, 1924, and SO fourth

Christianity and the War

The new emphasis on religion In
Europe is we'll known. Each poten-
tate claims God on his side, troops pray
before entering battle, IT. is reported
that hundreds Of thousands of Tes-
taments are being thumb-marked In
the trenches, revivals are on In
France and Bulgaria. liquor and lux
ury have been tabooed, and the sim
pie life, which is psych logically re-
lated to the religious life, has been
made the rule.
1t is difficult. IL not impossible, to
define the underlying cause of so sub
tie thing as worldwide spiritual
renaissance. Perhaps the coming Of
the war and the revival at the same
time are only a colossal coincidence.
On the other hand, there Is ground
for the theory that the horrors and
desolation of war have solemnized
the world and have had the effect OF
driving the people back upon divine
security.
At any rate the renaissance is on
and missionary Christendom is faced
with the greatest opportunity In III
history.-Fro,n .'Ths Worries Nav
Turning to Christianity" by Willard
Price, In the American Review Of
Reviews for June, 1918.

Horses For The War.

The export of horses and mules to
Europe during the nine months end
ing April LIST, was ss9. 40l, as compar-
ed with 1884 for the same period
ending April l, 1914. Many Of these
animals were purchased last summer
and were held In this country some
time before vessels could be found to
Nport them. Purchases are very
ikach Lighter 1t Tho present time,
largely due to the fact that available
vessels are hard to get. The Allies
buying few horses and mules from
time to time and are shipping them
across IS opportunity offers.
The removal of so many animals
from the normal supply in this coun-
try has maintained the prices on
horses and mules Of the draft type
Notwithstanding the steady encrosch-
ment Of motors for traffic work In
cities and towns. While the dom
estic markets are all quiet, prices are
fairly we'll maintained and the de-
mand seems to be about equal to the
supply. Horsemen rather expect an
increased European demand upon the
close of the war as the destruction Of
horses In this war has been largely In
excess Of any war ever known in the
history Of the world. While France
and Great Britain are struggling to
retain as many of their breeding an
imais as possible, the demand has
been SO strong that 1t will take num-
Der Of years after the close Of the war
to bring their horse production back
to normal.
