Of Course the Reforms
For Detroit Carried-It Was
An Unbeatable Lineup

That the people Of Detroit should have
voted as they did on Tuesday in favor
of the charter reforms submitted 70 them,
is not remarkable.
IT would have been remarkable if they
had failed to support the measures sub
mitted to them.
Detroit has grown and has passed up
thru the list Of cities until it is now
fourth IN POPULATION. but today, in
the matter of the government, it lags
far behind cities so small that they do not
count in the race for numbers.
We have given ourselves fine start in
the direction of more conspicuous place
among the cities as a municipality aim
ing for high average in efficiency and
for more healthful growth.
Our first advantage will lie in smaller
common council, for which we have voted,
because from smaller common council
we are bound to receive better repre-
sentation of the city's interests as
whole.
liic sup HAlpA4u nave UGH beiANil many
moons ago and civic conditions would
today reflect its advantages, but it is bet
ter late than never, and we will have TO
wait short time before We can enjoy
the great benefits that will come from
the elimination of cheap ward politics in
the council, the same as they have come
thru our smaller school board
That those citizens who voted were in
any way half-hearted in the rebuke they
administered to the present system Of
representation in the common council. or.
rather, the lack Of any such thing, is re-
futed in the vote by which they went
the limit and expressed themselves in
favor Of a nineSman common council 20
be elected at large.
Once our charter provides for this
happy state Of government in Detroit,
We should 40 forward with a bound 10 the
goal that is set by the slogan on the seal
OF the city: I'VE hope for better
things
The happy result Of our local election

The DecentifyiRg NJ
Function of Money
BY OR. FRANK CRANE
tCopyright 1918. by Fraus Crane)


OF course. people with money are not
better than people without, poor but
honest fellow is as good as a millionaire,
money does not mean virtue or intelli-
gencc OF manners. mans a man for 4
that. and SO ON and forth.
Still
IL is curious but undeniable fAct that
money is TO certain extent and in many
actual instances about the best ready
to-hand gauge of dirt.
There's no denyipg moneys decenti-
flying function. y
Decentfying is brand new word |
have just made it myself because in the
place where il Ought TO be in the die
tionary there is hole To decentify in
from decent and fy; fy means to make,
and hence TO decentify means to make
decent. Lots Of people for instance. are
decent enough. but are not decentfca-
cious that is. they are not the cause of
decency in others.
Money IS sometimes dirty. II is used
TO bride. tempt and corrupt Also to tip.
But in certain conjunctions it is decenti-
flying.
For instance, it is ten 10 one that il
YOU pay 500 a month for your fiat it will
bc in a cleaner neighborhood. have better
wall paper and more bathtubs and
kitchen with more windows than fiat
YOU pay $50 for. Why. | don't know.
Soap. air, water and sun are cheap. but
somehow you don't get them in an apart
ment unless you pay money.
A hotel. for some reason, is cleaner
and less smelly when it charges 81 day
than when it charges 10 cents a bed for
the night.
When YOU go to a restaurant and pay
Sl.55 for a plate OF chicken salad, why
is il that you get clean napkins and room
tte breathe and fiji attentive waiter, while
If you pay Is cents the napkins are pa
per or absent. the air is close and the
plate is nicked?
Why does free show fiji up with lot
of rowdies, and a show that costs $3.50
admission have an audience OF quiet
well-behaved people?
Why does an automobile within the
reach Of your pocketbook rattle and
bump and squeak and fall apart, and why
is 1t that you get one that will go along
as a good automobile should only when
you mortgage the farm 10 buy it7
Couldn't they screw the nuts tight on the
cheap one?
Why is hired girl slovenly at SO a
week and neat and efficient at $40? And
why does a stenographer spell correctly
only when she passes the $15 a week
level? And why does suit OF clothes
fit at $50 and bag at SIS?
What means this? After cursing
money for five thousand years steadily.
must We be compelled, after all, to ac-
knowledge that it represents certain de-
sirable things, and somehow implies the
presumably unpurchasabe commodities
of air. space, sunshine, cleanliness and
poiiteness?
Why this decentihcatiousness7

If there has been any doubt in the
mind Of Kaiser Wilhelm III, of Germany
about what the real temper Of the Amer
lean people is, or as TO how closely and
solidly they stand behind President Wal
son, there ought not 10 be at this writ

how his allies in this country Jared IN

New York City, with its large repre-
sentation of foreign-born and recently
made citizens. was the scene Of tremen-
dous effort put forth by radicals I'M
swerved in their traitorous purpose by
advices, within a week, of the spilling
of American blood on the firing line in
France
BY votes of those counted upon to be
more or less ignorant of the country's
purposes in a declaration of war against

it was hoped to discredit the Washing
ton administration, but the PLOT failed.
They would have signaled to Berlin:
look and take heart"
But it is a doleful message that they
send in the news that carries the result
of the voting.
1t is written in the Kaiser's own blood,
in the hand of those whom he once num-
bered among his own, but who have
tasted democracy and are willing to fight
for more.

weedtAn Unnecessary Loss.

When someone speaks OF weeds, what
do you think of? Quite often your frst
thoughts are perhaps of q hoe and hard
work. because to most farm boys, at
least. weeds do mean plenty Of hard
work with hoe. And 1t isn't always
pleasant work either, especially on hot
July or August day. However, In spite
of that there 10 something else that We
ought to consider first when this weed
subject is brought up and that 10 tne
loss which weeds cause as. In Wiscon-
sin Circular 4S, Dean Russell has this 70
say about It.: .,,. I'D
by many often regarded as necessary
evils. how many OF Us, though, fail to
appreciate the tax which We voluntarily
allow 10 be levied against us though I'M
necessary waste and readily prevenfabie
Losses. But few appreciate how much
of a tar noxious weeds take on many OF
our farms. nor how rapidly these pests
are being spread over the state"
II will be worth your while to actually
study that paragraph for minute ana
thjnf that Il means. You have often
bsard men complain about high taxes,
haven't youp But the money paid "a

our government; 1t builds our school

Weeds, on the other hand, cause us loss
