cHicAoo's BEST MAYOR.

For the past twenty years people
have become used to the expression
made in speaking about one or another
OF the past chief magistrates Of this
city: "He was the best mayor that
Chicago ever had" In most instances
the person making the statement ut
tiers the remark in good faith. But 1t
Is an expression that carries so much
with 1t IL regarded thoughtfully that
It might be well to look back for a
quarter of century and see what the
conditions were then. In this way the
man who was the best mayor" Is
more easily pointed out.
Twenty-Five years ago the towns OF
Hyde Park. Lake, jefferson. part OF
Cicero and the city Of Lake View were
annexed to Chicago.
They more than quadrupled its area
and gave It a population Of over mil.
lion people. Two score Of trunk line
railroads entered the city, bisected 1t,
dissected II and cut II into many parts.
The old city was unsightly and untrav.
ersible because of the grade cross.
ings. Communities which should have
been part of the whole were isolated
and localized. Traffic between the
sections was dangerous and grade
crossing tragedies were Of daily &C.
currence.
The politicians and officials Of the
day were afraid of the railroads. The
people were powerless. Even the
park boards trembled at the thought
OF opposing the rail magnates or OF
putting them to any expense. Great
boulevards on the South and West
Sides intended to connect the chain
OF parks were impossible except at
great risk to the citizens who attempt.
ed the passage.
The first man who dared to face the
railroads and demand that they raise
their tracks was John p. Hopkins, who
was elected mayor OF Chicago In 1893,
He took no halfway measures. He
appointed a track elevation commits
sion. He forced track elevation ordi
nances through the city council. And
today, thanks to the courage and te
nacity OF purpose of John p. Hopkins
Chicago, commands the admiration OF
the world The multitude of tracks are
elevated. Boulevards and business
streets are open to traffic. Isolated
neighborhoods have ceased to exist
Population and commerce flow unhin
dered from one part Of the city to the
other and Hopkins work is what die
It,
Chicago never dreamed OF civil serv
ice reform in the municipal service
until John p. Hopkins was elected
mayor. He came out boldly in favor
OF placing city employees under civil
service and appointed the famous
commission which was headed by
John w. Ella TO carry it out. Hopkins
efforts led to the passage of the state
civil service law for cities and the
present good condition of the city gov
ernment is primarily due TO his eff
forts. A hundred other reforms were
inaugurated by him, but track eleva
ton and civil service alone stamI
John p. Hopkins as the best mayor
Chicago ever had.

WHAT THE COUNTRY NEEDS.

The business interests OF the coun
try are tired of these conditions.
Tariff tinkering for political ends
Five tariff revisions in twenty-three
years.
Confidence shaken.
Business demoralized.
Huge money losses.
Millions OF workers unemployed.
What the people demand is:
A sane and permanent tariff policy
4 scientific adjustment.
More common sense, less politics,
All the facts brought out.
The way to get these reforms Is to-:
Establish a permanent Tariff Com
mission.
Make 1t non-partisan.
Give II broad powers.
Give IL an ample appropriation.
Have everybody represented.
Put the professional politicians of
the job.
Stop lobbying and log.rolling.
Bring out all the facts.

Crane with a sad story of how he was

mercial pursuits, when II he only had
an assured income he would write q
really great poem and hand II down
to posterity. Crane was telling
friend about the incident.
"And did you stake himY' the
friend inquired.
Certainly" replied Crane; "he
didn't want much-only $50 or $50
month and was afraid to turn him
down for fear he really might have a
good poem in him."
