 mission cares nothing about the pro-
 tests of their help, to say nothing of our city governments request for an early hearing. One of our largest concerns has been giving considerable space in it's shop paper expounding the constitution of our good old U. S., presumably for the benefit of its
 help just made American citizens.
 Now I would like to quote Section
 1, Article XIV. of the constitution: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the
 Jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state where in they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. Nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any per son within it's Jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws"
 would also like to quote an in- |terpretation or two of the constitu-
 tion by Holland Thompson, Ph.D., of
 the college of the City of New York: While the constitution was intend
 ed to give the people the right to govern themselves it was not in- tended to give the party which, hap pen4d to be in the majority in any year tho right to do everything 1t wished.
 Sometimes men object because the constitution does not allow some law to be made which they favor. but this

 The U. S. must see that each state
 has republican form of government.
 This means that it is the duty of the U. S. to protect the rule of the people.
 Congress would prevent any man
 from making himself dictator of a
 state. The laws of congress are above any laws of any state and if they
 disasree, the state must give way
 In republic the people have the
 power which they give for short timc to officers elected by them who carry out the laws. Other men
 chosen by the people make the laws. If the people think an officer has not
 acted wisely or properly they can
 turn nim out at the next election or can bring him to trial before the eno oI ms term. Which seems to

The person who believes Tn the unSeIHSn- ness of man thoroughly will say that few arc thus influenced; the more cynical will say th>.r practically all mlmbers of the council are governed by such feelings.
 At any rate the fact that no pay is received should not make any diff ference in a councilman's attendance except on occasions when he would suffer . financial loss by attending, and even in such cases he should con- ofder whether or not his duty. which he accepted from the people, should not outweigh his own personal inter- osts and compel some sacrifice on his part

But even so 1t is said in city hall that there is great likelihood that the garbage collectors will bo held to account and at the next meeting of the board, one dollar will be taken from their pay for every offense of which legitimate complaint has been made.
 It is for all of us to take the trouble however, to report every instance of laxity or negligence or failure on the part of the garbage collectors. Tho report should be as detailed as possi- ble. and signed. The board should then investigate the justice of the complaint and. If found correct, tho case should be the basis for a fine to be placed upon the man who has fail ed to do his duty. A heap of con- plaints, piled upon the desk of tho superintendent of health or brought to tho notice of the board would bring correction of the evils that are said to exist This would be CO., operation-and this would undoubt- edly make for better health condi- tions in the city If it be true that poor garbage collection is the rule not the exception.
 And meanwhile the superintendent and the board should investigate of their own initiative.

 A little tale, pictured on the nov ing picture screen. shows of the mar rowness of certain characters of An- cient times.

He succeeds; his life is happy. Tn his old age, however. he becomes as narrow as were those from whom he rightly differed in his youth. He denounces the disregard of his own convictions. now grown narrow.

It is only occasionally that period of retro l gression comes. Then 1t seems aA though the world had stopped for . breathing spell in It's progress. Real liberty seems to be forgotten.
 But the period passes. Though \ may take a long time as we who ars living now reckon the years. it is in reality but brief in the total of time The inevitable path of progress will again be the path which will be fol. ! lowed.

CARUso DEAD.

Caruso is dead. The resonant tones of his rich voice will no more impel those able to appreciate his art to rise to their feet in enthusiastic ac- claim; will no longer inspire intense, thrilling emotions. even ambitions, in the breasts of his hearers.
 Still the echoes of that wonderful voice win resound for a time in the memories of those who have heard him. and reverberating they will con tinue to be suggested by the records of the invention of modern time for long time to come.
 When a great statesman dies the world is deprived of the practical ben ef1ts of his advice in times of trial; yet his example, the manner o1 thought which was his, remains in history and in memory to aid those who follow in his place.
 When a man possessed of Erea, business genius leaves the earth he too. is remembered; his example i. followed by those wise enough tc profit by the experience and lesson. learned by him. . When the great heart of one whose object in life is to do good cease. to beat there remains that example of devotion to the highest thing. which, be he of sufficient greatnes. of character, leaves burning the ligh | which will brighten the world lonl after he has gone from it.
 ] So. although in the death of Caru so, the man, there dies the physica | interpreter of music as expressed b, the human voice, and in this deatf l therc comes sadness for those te whom he was dear, there remain, the memory of q great example O. the perfection which may be attained | by the human voice in expressin,

GARBAGE

One of the matters of the greatest importance to the health of the city ts the proper collection and handling of garbage.
 Complaints have been made that garbage is not collected or transport ed A1 1t should be.
 Those complaints, instead of being made generally. should be made in writing to the health board. This is the boards or the superintendent of heafth's only way of knowing about them definitely. Such written com plaints giving dates and circum- stances, will enable the board to in- vestigate and, in case the complaints are justified, to correct their cause and make the garbage collectors suf- fer pecuniarily for any failure to per- form their duties properly.
 No excuses should De accepted by tho board for a failure to perform this work in the manner prescribed. It is said in behalf of those who have taken the contract for collecting the garbage that they are paid $S,00o a year; that from this sum they have to pay the upkeep of their automo- bile trucks; the wages of men em- ployed to do the work and other ex- penses. It is said that there is no profit in the mere payment of the contract price for this collection of tho garbage; that the profit rests in the success of their piggeries alone. If the latter fail, there is only a loss :n the work.
 These facts do not excuse them for . negligent doing ot their work, nor do they excuse the board for failing to see that such work is properly done if the board is made aware of such failure if any exists. The col loctors have solemnly contracted to do the work. They should do it pro- psrly. .it
 that there have been but about half the number of complaints made this year that were made last year. Thus it may be seen that the board judges conditions by the number of com plaints received, and probably by the general observation of it's superin. tendent and members.
 Temporary Superintendent Gris wold asked cooperation from the people when he took hold of the of Zee. That cooperation should bt given him and the board in this very important matter.
 Everyone noting failure on tn, part of the collectors of garbage o their employees to do their work pro perly should report the case to thu board or to the superintendent. N, man should say Everyone know that garbage isn't collected oftel enough and that the work isn't dom right; whats the use of going to tn trouble of making a written com plaint?"

LoNESOMELAND.
By John J. Daly

LoNESoMELAND The way that weAves to Lonesomelan Is lonely little lane With never friend clasp hand In pleasure or in pain With never heart to beat in tune
 With the hearts that travel there: With never kiss beneath the moon When the Spring is in the air. The lane that leads to Lonesonneland Is a silent, somber way With never the music of the band;
 For band could never play Where the march is slow and tho hill Is high And the stones come tufnblins down And the clouds heavy in tho sky
 On the road to Lonesonetown. The road that runs to Lonesomeland
 Where the n1instrels never so Is sorry stretch of purple strand
 AS the folks whop travel know Is "a winding way. and a crooked way Where they walk in single hle From tho sunny spots where hearts are gay To the graveyard of the smile God help the folks in Lonesonneland,
 Each one d lonely soul, Whose footprints never stir the sand
 That shifts to Cupids goal Whose hearts arc heavy all tho wAy. Whose faces, each frown, Are the Aaddest sights. by night or day On tho road to Lonesometown
