The bill had gone Through many hours of the committee Of the whole, but at last it was amend ca m such a manner as to seem to ieavc to each town the choice between thc election Of these officials and the appointrnent of them by the city coun- e1.l The amendment provided that tlr. choice might be exercised by pc tltons bearing the names of 5t per cfNt of the voters according 10 the hat poI list.

In Some Town Over There is Baby Who Can Live If You
 Say the Word
By BRUCE BARTON.

l sometimes picture it to myself this way.
 Suppose that somewhere down town in New York, or in Chicago or St. Louis, there were a huge auction room, where the lives of men and of little children were on sale.
 Suppose that every day the auctioners red flag hung out as a sign that on that day so many men were to be allowed to die SO many women; and so many little ones.
 Allowed to die, just for the lack of few dol lars. Just for the want of the little sum that would ransom them.
 Suppose that were the case say to myself; could possibly stay away? Is there any argu- nent l could give to myself that would keep me from going there day after day, and buying with all my power? Buying men and women and children, at that auctioneers block, with the dol lars that would mean life to them?
 It's not very pretty picture; yet compared to the pictures that l have seen from stricken Armenia and Syria, and all the empires of the Near East, 1t is almost beautiful.
 For men and women and children are dying over there-dying for the lack of sums that seem pitifully, miserably small
 am not rich, and l have all the little worries that are common to us middle class folks. Wor- ries about next years income tax; and about the future of business, and where my income will go to if such and such things take place.
 But 1 have a worse worry than that. The worry for what my conscience will say to me, if in this hour of the worlds trbulation do not do my share.
 The worry lest in my ears for the rest of my life there should be the cry of a man, or woman, or little child whose life I might have saved.
 For they are crying over there today, stretch ing out their weak, tired arms And it's mar vellous thought to me, that modest as my income is, it's big enough to let me save the life of one of them-big enough to give me a man, or woman, or a child who will never cease to be thankful that did my part
 They are waiting for our answer over there: yours and mine: A poor stricken man broken by the war; and woman, weak from her struggle and terror; and baby who can live and grow up into useful manhood or womanhood, if only you say the word.

BOSTON OPERA CO. |S NEXT FINE NUMBER
 ON THE HI ' COURSE

The next number of the Hi-Y lec- ture course is the Boston Opera com pany, which will appear at the high school auditorium Monday evening at s o'clock. This is the strongest musical number of the Hi-Y course and is com posed of some of the best known sing CTS on the lyceum stage today. The Redpath bureau claims that in pre- senting the Boston Opera singers to its patrons, they are offering the ideal in concert organizations, organized to meet the musical demands of the ly- ceum public.
 This company discloses a personnel such as has rarely been accessible ex- cept in the largest cities and musical centers. They featured this company as the premier musical attraction in their New York and New England cir cult this past fall.
 The company is composed of real artists, such as Alessandro Alberini a baritone of great range. He won a competitive scholarship offered by the New England Conservatory of Music out of 250 competitors. Anthony Guarino, beautiful lyric tenor. who received his musical education in Bos- ton and has a voice capable of dra- matic affect.
 Miss Louise Stallings of New York city soprano, who has appeared in many important metropolitan concerts during the past two seasons. Miss Stalllngs is a tall. handsome brunette or distinctive Spanish appearance. Miss Esther Schultz of Boston, con- trs'lto. who has had great experience in the lighter forms of musical enter tainment. Miss Schultz has rich. powerful voice and wins her audience the moment she comes upon the stage. Miss Marion Carley, pianist, who has recently come to the United States from Canada.
 All music lovers of Phoenix are urged by the management of the Hi-Y course to attend this number.

CLEMENCEAU ACTIVE
 AS MANY MEN OF 50
(Ieslie's s)

Oeslie's)
 If there is one man who has more to do with the policy of the entente today, than any other even than Lloyu George-it is the prime minister of France. France more nearly is under a single dictator than any other coun- try in the war; French governmental policy is clearly defined, and it is diff ficult for England or the United States effectively to depart from it.
 It is not without good reason that Clemenceau is called the Tiger. As he sits in his office, one is reminded easily of the big cat tribe, so intense he is, so quiet, so 1.-the. As he crouches there, his 75 years look like 60. As he jumps from his seat and hurries across the room, his movements are those of 8 vigorous man of 50. He by no means

The ingenuity displayed by the women in charge of the Salvage shop m making over' and touching up old garments which have all been do- mated and have been sold at the shop. has proved far Rore remunerative than anticipated. The shop is now in need of more clothing-men's, wom- ems and children's, and they ask that all discarded clothins-no matter the age of the garments, or how many patches or alarmed places they may contain, be collected and brought to the Salvage Shop, which is now To- cated opposite the Hotel Adams on East Adams street

FIVE MORE KILLED

At a railroad crossing in north
western Iowa near the village of
GAIA, an entire family was wiped
out on Saturday night by a railroad
train striking an automobile. The
father, the head of the family and
the driver who drove the car escaped
without injury. Five were killed.
outright. The account says the ac-
cidnt happened at dangerous
crossing. 1t should be known that
all crossings are dangerous. In this
country a majority of the crossings
are on the grade, which means that
the road does not run above or be-
low the track. What is known az
"grade crossings" means that the
train is liable to come at any time
and liable to strike an automobile
at any time. There are drivers
who are extremely careful before at
tempting to go over railroad cross
ing. They invariably stop. look.
listen. There are other drivers
and il nearly always happens that
they have women and children
with them, who drive onto the
crossing without, apparently, giving
1t second thought. All the
warnings which the press can give
appear to have no effect in saving
the lives of automobiles.

PRESIDENT DECIDES TO
TALK WITH LAWMAKERS

For the first time in practically
eight months the cabinet, with
President Wilson presiding, met on
Tuesday and discussed purely Am
erican questions.
Beginning Wednesday and there
after as often as possible the presi-
dent will hold ..open house, at the
White House for all members OF
congress, whatever their political
affiliations are, who wish to see him.
This will be permanent policy, 1t
was said, and is a stratling depart

the legislative branches of the gov
eminent.

a specific period every day or so for
the purpose of meeting members.

JOHN LOUGHERY DEAD

John Loughery, the gentleman
who worked at the Audubon Roller
Mills part of last year, died at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Valentine
Leonrad Monday night. He is sur
vived by his aged wife. No relatives
are known to live in the United
States.
He came here in April, 1918, and
worked at the mill until about the
10th day of October, 1918 when he
suffered an attack of influenza. He
returned to work the latter part of
January. but was compelled to give
up his work in February. It seems
as though he never fully recovered
from the effects of the influenza
which terminated into hardening of
the glands.
Mr.. Loughery was born in Ireland
and was almost sixty-five years of
age. He has followed the milling
business all of his life. and learned
the trade in the Dublin mills. 1t Is
impossible to learn much concerning
Mr.. Laughery. because of the mental
condition of Mrs. Loughery. 1t seems
that she suffered an accident to her
head during the Omaha cyclone,
from which she never recovered. She
resided in residence just south
of the former VIM. Neff residence on
Washington street.
Thy were given every considera-
tion possible by neighbors and
friends and those in attendance, and
everything possible was done to ex-
tend comfort to them.
Funeral services for Mr.. Loughery
were conducted this morning from
st. Patrick's church. and the body
laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery.
