MAYOR LAUGHS;
CITY COUNCIL
IN FAUX PAS

Mayor Shank laughed at the city cOun-
Gil today. The council and mayor have
been on unfriendly terms since last
week When the former failed to pass a
number Of administration ordinances,
and President Theodore j. Bernd criti-
cised conduct Of the public comfort sta
tion.
The mayor said his amusement was due
to the councils discovery that one of
the measures 1t voted down was an ordi-
nance which it had intended to pass
They tried to buck me and killed one
of their own ordinances" said the mayor,
with a burst of laughter.
The ordinance was for the annexation
Of block of territory in the southeast
part of the city, which was disannexed
several months ago in order that the
county might improve street connecting
with a county highway The disannex-
alton put one-half of Kelly street from
State to villa avenues out Of the city
and left the other half in.
Early this year property owners OF
Kelly street in the above limits petit
toned the board Of works for sidewalks.
The board adopted a resolution and ad
, vanced it to the point where bids had
been received, when the engineering de-
partment discovered that half of the
street was outside the city. The reso-
luton was rescinded. The property own
ers were displeased and officials had
a hard time explaining that they would
, have to wait until the council re annexed
the territory. The ordinance was pre-
pared and sent to the council, which
voted 1t down. Now, 1t Is understood,
the property owners are criticislng the
council for keeping them from getting
sidewalks.

Ward Is an ex-service man and a mems

placed by Thomas NJ Greenlee, temporary

Congressman Hill
Offers Beer Bill
to Fill u. S. Till

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 13.-Rep-
resentative John Phillip Hill, of Mary
land, introduced a bill in the House to-
day, proposing to meet the Treasury de-
felt for 1922 by leving tax Of 20 cents
a gallon on 2I5 per cent beer
Treasury reports, Mr. Hill declared,
show that the March collections in
dicate deficit of about 500 900, 600, which
he said, would mean deficit of $40O,
100000 for 1922. To meet this deficit, he
said he had amended ~his light wine and
beer bill, primarily designed to raise
money for the soldier bonus, to take
away any excuse for any liberal minded
person voting against it on alleged con-
stitutional grounds"
"No one can assert 2.75 per cent beer
is Intoxicating he said, for Mr. Vol
stead himself has declared that per
cent home made cider is permissible
under the Yolstead Act. There can,
therefore, be no valid objection to rails
ing the needed S400O00,O0O of the ex-
pected deficit by a tax on 2.75 per cent
beer. Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger
Company.

but loved none of 1t better than the poor,
the humble, the oppressed, and the
stricken. 1t is not only a monument to
Riley that you will have built here, but
a monument to yourselves. as Riley has
moved and inspired you. This happy
thought OF home for the most helpless
of children, does honor to humanity it
self at its very best.
There is no man so base, no woman
so vain as not to love child. 1t seems
to me that Rileys real greatness is this,
that he served ali common humanity in
singing so beautifully those songs Of
love for childhood that all humanity feels,
but that only the man of genius can ex
press. But IL the very sight Of a child,
II the fancies, the joys, the little griefs
of child touch us all so deeply, how
much more touching are the fancies and
Joys and griefs of the child who is
broken and bent and crippled! Nothing
ever moved Riley to finer strains Of
poetry than bright happy childhood But
nothing ever more stirred the depths of
his being than the sight Of childhood
blighted with pain and distress.
Riley himself was born into humble
surroundings. Yet the story Of his life
tells us that he was never too young
to be Of cheer and helpfulness. One
of the earliest Of his recollections Is of
a little lame boy In the first school he
ever attended. And 1t was the boy
Riley who saw to it that the little lame
boy had the first ride on the swing
under the locust tree Mt recess. There
was the warm heart, the ready sympathy
for handicap and distress, present in the
mere lad. In Riley the man that sym
pathy only ripened and deepened with
the years. When the powers of his mind
were at their fullest, he caught one of
his moments of rarest inspiration to
write The Happy Little Cripple east
In the dialect Of the Indiana people he
knew and loved so well. 1t touched
