CHARTER CHANGES.

There will probably be a public
hearing on proposed charter changes
after the revision committee COM
pletes its work, according to Mayor
Paonessa's announcement The vote
of the committee will have been
taken, but there would be a posi-
biIity of reconsidera if strong
feeling developed on any matter.
Moreover such public. sentiment
would be reflected in the action of
the common council.
The point to be emphasized is that
public sentiment or. more properly
public opinion based upon study of
the present charter and the amend
ments proposed, should be shown at
that public hearing. Among the
matters that have been or will be
considered and which may be pre-
scented in the form of proposed
amendments are the collection of all
revenues in one city department, col
lection of taxes semi-annually instead
of annually. voting places in school,
houses, extension of the second tax
ing district, reduction of common

than that. He left the suggestion for
men to follow that fortunate is the

the thing which. above all others, he
loves best to do. If he had been a
failure as a ball player he would not
have loved ball playing as he did.
He put his whole heart in the game
and this earnestness brought him
success. With success came love for
the game, developed from a mere
desire to play To enjoy work, then,

work. Love for it will come as It

THE KLETT MATTER

II seems to be definitely established
that there is movement on foot in
this state to block the appointment OF
@. W. Klett OF this city as L. :, Dis
trict Attorney. How powerful the in
fiuenees back OF the protest is not
known. although II Is represented that
the church interests OF the state are
on record against his being chosen,
and IL is reported that Hugh Acorn
has filed the protest at the Depart
ment OF Justice in Washington.
The filing Of the complaint by Mr..
Alcorn gives rise to another
perplexing question 10 the mind not
conversant with the procedure OF his
Office. Does II indicate that he is act
ing in his official capacity and doing
what he considers his duty at
States Attorney in making the protest
or is he acting in a private capacity
as attorney for the church people? If
he is doing the latter he must be un-
willing to see Mr.. Klett get appoint
ment as he has proven that he will
not take a case with which he is not
in accord 'in principle" as witness
the refusal to accept the case of But
terworth, who fought for control of
the American Legion state fund. If,
in his capacity as States Attorney. he
is making the charges, he is very
secretive about them.
Just what the contention in the
protest against Mr.. Klett may be is
not known. Mr.. Alcorn will not talk,
Mr.. Klett will not talk, certain church
association officials will not talk and,
altogether. we have a formidable ar
ray of silent ones. Conjecture is not
lacking among politicians and those
interested in public affairs. 1t is said |
that the fact that Mr. klett has been |
attorney for the moving picture in
terests, opposing bill before the leg
islature against Sunday movies, has
won the dislike of the churches. 1t
is said that the action of the Leg
isature, when Klett was a member,
in refusing to endorse the prohibition
may have been a factor.
In either of these cases. unless there
were circumstances of which we are
unaware, it does not seem as if the
candidate was guilty of any breach
of etiquette, legal or political, suffi-
cient to win him disapproval. The
If founded on these things,
Is not deserving of great considera-
ton. We have still to learn the cause
Of the trouble, however. and simply ,
