HOPKINS and RENDLE ARE Elected
DIR. {. A. KELL Was Defeated FOR REELECTION A
while H. Larsen WAS Defeated BY 29 VOTES.
MAYOR BUT Win TRUSTEE in ONE Of CLOSEST

Tuesdays city election passed off
quietly and without much apparent
excitement although 143 more votes
were cast this year than last. In
the four precincts Of the city 888
votes were cast Tuesday for mayor
and in each precinct the vote was
exceptionally close.
When the smoke had cleared away
and all the returns were available
it was found that Robt. H. Hopkins,
Democrat, was elected mayor by a
majority over DIR. f. A.. Kell, Re-
publican, of but ten votes while
Irvine J. Rendle. Republican, was
elected Trustee over H. Larsen,
Democrat, by 20 majority.
DIR. Kell was defeated in Precinct
No. 1 by 1 vote, he lost Precinct
No. 9 by 9 votes. lost No. 3 by II
votes and Won in No. 4 by II votes.
Irvine Rendle was the high man on
the ticket carrying No. 1 by 9 votes
No. 2 by IL votes votes, No. 4 by
IL votes and losing No. 3 by 3 votes.
Robt. Hopkins was elected mayor
with a total of 449 while /. j. Rem
die was elected Trustee with a
total of 454.
The voters on Tuesday as a whole
seemed to take but very little inter-
est in the election mainly because
OF the fact that practically all real
lied that all four men who were
candidates were exceptionally capa-
BILE and efficient and many seemed
TO care but little which two we're
successful.
Undoubtedly these voters, most OF
whom cared little for the political
angle Of the game. were correct as
IL would be impossible to secure in
the city four better men than were
on the ticket in Tuesdays election.
Both the Republicans and the DEM
ocrats realized that a great future
is In store for Rawl!ns and in con-
sequence both parties secured the
most capable men in their ranks as
candidates.
Both parties had many workers
out Tuesday and every effort was
made to get a large vote vut but
without q great deal of success as
out of a registered list OF approx
mAtely 1900 names less than 800
voted. However. a great many OF

ClPaL AFFAIRS

The election Tuesday passed off
quietly. The Democrtic machine
was well oiled and in good working
order. and the full party and some
more was gotten out. On the other
hand a majority OF the people who
had previously proclaimed their de-
sire to have n n~on-partisan govern
ment OF city affairs. failed to rise
above narrow p~artisanship notwith-
standing so much was at stake.
Hundreds of good men and women
who voted against Mr.. Miller and
Mr.. Daley under a mistaken i'm
preston. will live to see the day that
they will thank them and a dozen
other prominent citizens who con-
scientiously and unselfishly made the
fight for municipal reform. While
apparently defeated at the polls

cisive victory by compelling the
Democratic party to acknowledge
the necessity for reform. and II the
pledges are not carried out the peo-

To make it q 'home," not merely

There has been a tendency on the

drifting away from? Should they

rather just the ''house"-the four
walls where they merely eat and
sleep-that they are getting away
from? To the younger generation
OF today. "home" seems to mean
that place where they can go when
every other place Is closed.
But what is a home?
It has puzzled the wits Of many
and only too few understand the
true meaning.
Home isn't so much asplace as it
is state of mind. There are many
who own. magnificent houses who
in reality do not own homes, and
then there are those who have a
home in the tiniest Of apartments or
in mere hall bedroom.
Then what is that elusive thing,

A house. place of dwelling, can
not be a home unless it is inviting,
restful and peaceful, a place that
reflects the personalities OF those
who dwell therein, a place to turn
to at all times, a place to seek out
and long form short, a tlaoe in
which to five" and not merely
exist"
How can this be brought about?

How often do we see the men
folk lounging around the well-fur-
nished club room in preference to
being at home? It isn't because

F ACE PROBLEM
IN CREATING
HOMES
Should Obtain Architect or
Decorators Advice in
Furnishing House.

The woman who is deeply inter-
ested in making OF the house she
lives in place of real comfort and
beauty sets about the work so earn
estly and sincerely that in this
day of general interest and dis
cussion of the home and it's MAX
ing she has little difficulty in in
forming herself of the require
ments Of her particular house.
So much emphasis is laid on the
proper attention to the architec-
tural detail Of the interior that she
first assures herself Of the period
or school which the treatment Of
her rooms indicates and from
which she receives the inspiration
necessary to enable her to proceed
intelligently to fit her home. AS
she takes it, room by room, either
under the suggestion and guidance
Of her architect, her decorator, or
on her own responsibility, she will.
in making the full decorative
scheme. find it necessary in some
degree to visualize the completed
plan Of furnishing and decorating.
For example, hall, living room,
dining room, library, or whatever
the room allotment Of the first
floor space may be, must be con-
sidered relatively If, as is usually
the case, the several rooms open
into one another.
With this fact well in mind she
will avoid the restless and warning
effects likely to result when each
room is treated independently.
Then, with her color scheme in
hand, illustrated for her by bits
Of wall covering or drapery ma.
terial and d small panel Of wood
finished like the standing wood
work Of her rooms, she may pro-
coed systematically, from shop to
shop, matching, trying, comparing,
until she has her lighting fixtures,
tiles, draperies, rugs and finally her
furniture located and mentally
settled in the several rooms of her
house, her little note book showing
carefully-made inventories of each
complete room in the furnished
and decorated home-to-be.
II she has the slightest doubt
Of her ability to thus select and
arrange the environment in which
she and her household must live,
she will do well to take her lrob.
lem to some experienced consultant
and, by laying the uncertainties
before his or her professional eye,
obtain commentator, or the sug.
gestion Of such eliminations and
changes as will lead her scheme
more nearly to her ideal than she
alone has been able to bring it.
Frequently she will find just this
service fully supplied to her by the
shop from which she makes her
purchases, and as there are few

Condemnation of Articles
Fails to Produce
Harmony.

Even to the least observing It
must be apparent that in planning
for furnishing home, whatever or
wherever it may be, three consider.
atoms of necessity must govern
what one wants, what one needs,
and what one can have. The or.
binary individual naturally starts
out by wanting certain things for
the home, which Is quite different
from needing them and altogether
another thing from being able to
have them.
It is quite evident that one
should strive for artistic effects in
the decoration of q house, indeed,
such an effect il absolutely essen.
fial, but at the same time, it is well
not to forget that there Is no word
In the English language more
abused or that has had more crimes
committed in its name than the
term artistic"
Most authorities agree that per-
haps the most comprehensive defini-
ton Of the word artistic is, relating
20 a high degree Of art, but appar-
emily this definition enters not al
al into the modern conception
which tends to dub anything ar.
tistic which savors Of something
different or ornamental. Every
kind of incongruous and ugly com
bination OF objects, in themselves
uninteresting and in groups defyine
all fundamental rules Of analysis OF
gynthesis, are more or less popul
arly supposed TO have received the
hall mark Of authority when they
are referred to as artistic.
