It's a Poor Policy That Is
Not As Good For One Civic
Board As For Another

The seven-man school board Zone mem
Der of which is a woman) is no longer a
new thing and a novelty.
A visit to one of its meetings is re-
freshing.
The lobbyist, as much part Of the
old ward-selected board as the secre-
tarys minutes, is missing.
That is the first Endorsement Of the
new idea presented to the visitor
And the politicians, too. are conspicu-
ously absent.
They have wound up the strings which
they used to pull with effect, IN return
for having delivered" on election day,
because it is intended by the small board
idea that they will never have further
use for them.
The small board will stand the closest
scrutiny and fail to show a red-nosed
saloonkeeper upon it.
Saloon representation Of the greatest
American institution was part of the
ward-seected board that was banished.
The small board meeting is conducted
under the rules of strict business. not
under the rules Of booze control. strictly.
To watch it at work one would think
it a meeting of directors of bank or a
large manufacturing institution.
There is an interest in the matters
that eefs4e before II K
And they are measured by the stand
ard of their actual moment; not by the
yard stick of peanut politics.
The schools are not sacrificed the pu-
pills are not sacrificed; teachers are not
sacrificed public money is not sacrificed
thru the desire of one Inspector to get
even with another Inspector because he
refused to indorse the gangs choice for
q job.
The people of Detroit may well pat
themselves on the back for the change
they have made in this board from waru
representation to real and conscientious
representation.

representation to real and Conscientious
representation.
And the people of Detroit should real
ize, now that they behold the proof of
their mistake in maintaining the old and
cumbersome system for so long, that
their next move is to reduce the size of
their common council down to q point
nearer direct responsibility.
There is soon to be submitted to the
people the proposition of whether they
want general revision Of their charter.
That they will vote overwhelmingly in
the affirmative is a foregone conclusion.
Detroit has shown of late that it has
taken its place in the forward march of
progress.
And having provided for themselves
the opportunity, there is little doubt that
the people of Detroit will heed the exam
pie and the satisfactory results of other
cities and take the steps necessary TO a
reduction in the number of the city's al
dermen.
Our aldermen are now chosen by
wards, as school inspectors once were.
The people voted their opinion that
one school Inspector from every ward
made board of exactly Il members too
many, so reductd its numbers from 81
to Z, and elected them AT LARGE.
1t is poor rule that does not work
both ways.
1t is a poor policy of government that
does not work as well with one civic
board as another.
The Detroit common council, as it
stands at the present time, is exposed
to the same influences that the old school
board was.
1t is subject to lobbyists who are eff
fective thru long acquaintance with al
dermen whose return to the board for
term after term has been due TO the
votes of sleeping and submissive cleo
torate rather than to ability to repre-
sent.
Politics holds sway in this board as it
did in the old board of education; its
standard is the standard of pap and pulls,
petty jealousies and personal ambitions.
It's business ability is nil and its meet
ings are jokes.
To maintain it bit longer than neces-
sary is wasteful both Of the time Of
many Of its members and the pocket
books of the taxpayers.
Inasmuch as Michigan is soon to 90
dry it is no longer necessary to the sa-
loon, tho once quite essential TO the we'll
being of that institution.
The watchword of civic progress to-
day is EFFICIENCY.
A common council composed of two
aldermen from a ward belongs to the back
ages Of red tape and clogged municipal
machinery.
There are some good men on the pres
ent common council.
The majority of these could be retain
ed under the changed system

COURT TO MAKE REPAIRS

At a meeting of the fiscal court
Wednesday it was decided that the
court would look after the repairs to
the courthouse, made necessary by
the fire of two months ago. The
whole body was present and it was
further decided that Contractor j.

tend the Job, and he will do so. Oper-
atoms will begin just as soon as ma
terial can be gathered. Mr.. Powell

may deem necessary. Mr.. Powell rep
resented Lincoln county in the cree
ton Of the splendid courthouse
building ard his services were so sat
isfactory that the fiscal court consid-
cred itself fortunate in getting him
again to look after the work. He also
made the estimate of the loss to the
building, which was accepted by the
several insurance companies and
which was highly cOmplimented by
them. Besides repairing the damage
done by the fire. the roof will be

the changes and Improvements will
be completed by then.

Miss Baughman, reader and sava-

Haynes mandolin. These young la
dies are students of the College Of
Music, Cincinnati, and no one could
fail to realize in listening that each
one was an artist. Each number was
heartily encored and thoroughly ap-
preciated. Miss Baughman, who be-
gins her two year chautauqua work
the fifteenth of May, gave several
readings. She graces the stage with a
presence extremely pleasing; her
gestures are Of perfect naturalness
and ease; her saxaphone solo was es-
pecially enjoyed. Miss Gregory, who
visits here quite Frequently, has a
very fine voice, of wonderful power
and sweetness. Miss Raney, who

and Mendelssohn Clubs were seated
in a body, also the Dramatic Club.
Much praise is due these music clubs
on securing such unusual talent. A

LATEST WAR NEWS

A let-up in the sanguinary strug-
gle on both the British and French
fronts was noted in yesterdays war
reports.
Members Of the French Commits
sion, headed by Vice Premier Viviani
and Gen. Joffre, who reached Hamp-
ton Roads Tuesday, will urge the
United States to send an expedition
airy force to France. The moral effect
Of having American soldiers in the
trenches is regarded as the most i'm
portant reason for such action. An
overseas force under the French plan
would be supported by full comple-
ment of auxiliary units. France also
wants loan of 500, 900, 900 month
" to be sent for supplies in the
United States.
Capt. Rice, of the American
steamer Mongolia, which has arrived
at a British port told the Associated
Press that the Mongolia had fired the
FIRST gun of the war for the United
States and sunk a German subma-
rine. The submarine, Capt Rice said
was about to attack the great liner,
in British waters on April 10. He de-
clared there was absolutely no doubt
that the U-boat was hit and there
was every reason to believe ii was
destroyed. The naval gunucrs on
board made a clean hit at l 900
yards. The periscope was seen to be
shattered
The British troops fighting along
the Arras battle line made further
slight advances Wednesday south of
the Scrape river. There was a con-
tinuation of aerial activity in which
fifteen German airplanes came to
grief and six British aircraft failed
to return to their base, according to
the official communication. Thou
sands of dead Germans are lying on
the battlefield, says the communica-
ton.
At conference of provincial and
military Governors, at which the Pre-
mier presided, il was voted unani-
mously voted that China should en-
ter the war against Germany.
That Austria would restore Ser
bia, and Germany rebuild Belgium is
the opinion of the President of the
International Socialist Bureau, after
comforting with Zimmerman.
Americans, who reached Paris
from Constantinople, report that
conditions in the Turkish capital are
grave. Most of the people favor a
separate peace and are only kept in
line by military power.
Legislation to give the Govern
ment direct control of American ship
ming will be asked of Congress soon.
The Shipping Board also announced
that several of the seized German
ships will be ready for use in few
days.
About $4,000 men have applied
thus far and been found to meet the
necessary requirments for member
ship in Col. Theodore Roosevelt's
proposed division. Sixty per cent, of
the volunteers are from the Southern
States.
In firing the first shot against a
German submarine on April 10, the
Mongolia made history repeat itself.
