At the Common Council last nignt might P stands on two matters very much first glance an action taken by seem a taking of oppo- site alike.

There is a medium in all things, of Certainly the Common Coun- should be representative. be argued that a smaller number could not be representative. The re- duction in the niimber of people who might vote at a city meeting had to be made. Such reduction is t ab- solutely necessary in the C mon although there is much ir- relevant discussion at its sessions, di- rectly due, it is believed, to its num- representatives.

A 'WEFT"” QUESTION. It is reported that one of the strict- est requirements of a passport into America, sought by a German, is the statement that he did not serve in the enemy army. For this reason, it is said,» German firms seeking “slackers’ from their army'to repre- are the belief | practically amounting to knowledge that | he | | ors to their country”—to aid them in The end of the tale who took the And in the meantime we shall not | of anywhere §rom two or ' thousands. | to a body of 186 men the power sent those firms in the United States. One German is said to have remarked that “It is hard to believe that Amer- ica would put premium upon a man'’s treachery towards his country.” Admitting, merely for the sake of argument, how difficult it would be ; for the German to see anything from | America’'s point of view, there is the other aspect to be considered. How about the German firms who in search of ‘slackers”—"ttait- a are their business? Were the case to be turned argund and had Germany been victorious, would it be possible to conceive of American firm looking out for ! men who had evaded the draft here, with absolutely no- excuse, in order that those slackers might go to vic- torious Germany and bogst that they ; had taken no part in fighting the armies of that country? This, provid- “firms’’ left in such any ed we had any an awful case. And in this country did seck such men would not their busi- ne past and presert be investigated to the fullest extent to find out wheth- | er or not that firm had aided the en- ',cmy while the war was in progress? i Would any reputable American firm | if a firm have any dealing with any other firm | which made a point of “putting a pre- imium" on treachery to this coun- try? The words of the German mean lit- tle. The actions of the Germans mean everything. If they are seek- ing “slackers” in their own country to aid in establishing trade relations with firms in this country they are condemned out of their own mouths. “United States Launches the Sec- ond Most Powerful Battleship in the World,” headline. May we have us¢ for her never! —— . “Bride Saw His Mother and Ran,” | headline over story which adds that the Judge in annulment proceedings by the husband reserved decision. Possibly the judge wanted to “have a look™ at ‘‘mother.” People who are ‘‘all things to all men” are not necessarily al-truistic. Do not pat yourself on the back too much because the table will not “tip” for you. There are other honest peo- ple in the world. Frankness is spoiled by crankiness. ‘Ships that pass in the Night” are mysteriously interesting but not half as important as the “chips” which do the same thing. A bird in the hand, unlike a word writ in the sand, is worth two in the bush. The latter is valueless. 25 YEARS AGO (From The Herald of That Date.)

Daly PUSH AND PULL Push and Pull are brothers twain That ever you will meet— The one lives down in Hard Work And one on East Street. And one of Easy Street. Push and Pull are each a force With measure flowing full; But Pull is like a blooded hprse And Push is like a bull Pull has ways of getting things That Push knows nought about; For Pull is ever working strings— He’s quite a clever scout. Push is pleased to plug away With what he has to do, While Pull is scheming al] the day With many ends in view.
