Complaints have been made that _ garbage is not collected or transport- ~ o 43 it should be. ‘.. Those complaixts, instead of being _mgde generally, should be made in writing to the health board. This is the board's or the superintendent of health’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 e accepted by the board for a fallure to perform this work in the manner prescribed. It is said in behalt of those who have ‘taken the contract for collecting the garbage that they are paid $8,000 a year; that from this sum they have to pay the upkeep of their automo- bilé 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 eontract price for this collection of the garbage; that tne profit rests in the success of their piggeries alone. I¢ the latter [fail, there is only a loss in the work. These facts do not excuse them for a negligent doing ot their work, nor do they excuse the board for failing to ‘see that such work is. properly done if.the board ix made aware of such failure if any exists. The col- lu‘oru have solemnly contractéd to do the work. They should do it pro- Tt is said st the office of the board that thefe 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 its superin- tendént and members. Temporary Superintendent _ wold asked co-operation .from People when he took hold of the of- @ice. That co-operation should be given him and the board in this very important matter. Everyone noting a failure on the part of the collectors of garbage or their employes to do their work pro- perly should report the case to the board or to the superintendent., No maén should say “Everyone knows that garbage isn’t collected often emeugh and that the work isn't done right; what's the use of going to tha treuble of making £ written plaint 2" People are so prone to complain generally about city affairs and we all are inclined to grumble so much Gris- com- 4TS the tru the | they seek? An’ then the clouds from that o’ bowl spell out the answer clear: “They do these things because they need a change o’ at- mosphere. “As bathin’ aids the body pene- t#ating to the ‘soul, “So “splendid thoughts make you more fit to reach a splendid goal.” e e e— ficials, hearing them: every day and having failed to pin the complainer down to concrete cases. pay little at- tention to them. But even so it is said in city hall that there is a great likelihood that the garbage collectors will be 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. The report should be as detailed as possi- ble, and signed. The board shouldq then investigate the justice of the complaint and, if found correct, the case should be the basis for a fine tb be placed upon the man who has fail- ed to do his duty. A heap of com- plaints, piled upoa the desk of the superintendent of health or brought to the ‘notice of the board would bring a correction of the evils that are said to exist. This would be ¢o- operation—and this would undoubt- edly make for betrer health condi- tions in the city if it be true that poor garbage collection is the rule not the exception. And meanwhile the superintcndent and the board shoud nvestigote of their own initiative. The complaints, however, ara ne¢- essary as the fines provided for by ordinance to be imposed, are based on the number of just’ complaints made. —_—_— 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 wifl 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 times for a long time to come. When a great statesman dies the world is deprived of the practical ben- efits of his advice in times of trial; yet his example, the manner of thougrht which was his, remains in history and in memory to aid those who follow in his place. ‘Wkhen a man possessed of great business genius leaves the earth he, too, is remembered; his example is followed by those wise enough to profit by the experience and lessons: learned by him. When the great heart of opne whoseé object in life is to do good ceases to beat there remains that example of devotion to the highest things which, be he of sufficient greatness of character, leaves burning the light which will brighten the world long after he has gone from it. So, although in the death of Caru- so, the man, there diés the physical interpreter of music as expressed by the human voice, and in this death ther: comes sadness for those to whom he was dear, there remains the memory of a great example of the perfection which may be attained by the human voice in expressing human emotions. The werld should not allow inspiration of his voice to follow Caruso into his grave dug in the earth. THE PILGRIMS. President Harding spoke at terday’s observance of Tercenténary. ves- the Pilgrim The man or woman who could fail to be impressed mere by the significance of the day than by what any man might say on the subject, is indeed lacking in imagina- tion. The President remarked- that the study of the history which began at Plymouth teaches that sometimes schism may lead to true solidarity; that division may mean multiplica- tion. Criticism, even revolution or a separating from that which is just- ly criticized, is sometimes the sine Where the minitrels never go, Is & sorry stret¢h of purple strand As the félks who' travel know— Is.a winding way, and a crooked way, Where they walk in single file From the sunny spots whers hearts are To the graveyard 6t the smile.

A little tale, pictured on the mov- ing picture séreen, shows %t the nar- rowness of certain characters of an- cient times. Among the chatacters depicted is one whe breaks from the conventional habits of the others, and, by honest belief in his own in- vention, dares to strike out for him- self. He succeeds; his life is happy. In his old age, however, he becomes 48 narrow as were thosé frém whem he rightly differed in his youth. He denounces the disrégard of his own convictions, now grown narrow. Those who love obey this changed man and remain in the rut he hss made for them. But in this second generation the seeds first planted in the old man’s early life. begin to grow. When the third genération ap- pears thos: seeds in the secend have developéd, ‘are at length recégnized as the beginnings of bettér, broader things, and the individual life con- tinues its progress. The seeds sown by the Pilgrims have developed through the years. Over and over the story as told on the scfeen Kas been repeated, but through it all, though those in whem the seed was first planted have some- times remained narrow in their view of freedom, the seed has grown—the seed wil) always grow. It is only occasionally that a peried of retro- gression comes. Then it seems 88 though the world had stopped for a breathing spell in its progréss. Real liberty seems to be forgetten. But the period passes. Theuxh it may take a long time as wé who are living new reckon the years, it is in reality but brief in the tdtal of time. The ineévitable path of progréss will again be the path which will be fol- lowed. Thus the Pilgrims, with their first sreat principles of freedom, but half understood by them, planted those principles more firmly than they knew in the seil of the hearts of men waiting for them as for which would bring the human longing. that complete References to the “Good old days” takes no thought of their morals.

And yet the manufacturers seemingly acquiesce by their silence in the matter when it seems as if they shéuld know that the utilities com- mission cares nothing about. the pro- tests of their help, to say nothing of our city government’s request for an early hearing. One of our largest concerns has been giving comsiderable space in its shop paper expounding the constitution of our good old U. S., presumably for the benefit of its help just made Americgn citizens. Now I would like to quote Section 1, Article XV. of the constitution: “All perséns 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 residé. 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 amy person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any per- son within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.'” I 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: ‘Whilé the constitutian was intend- ed to give the pedple the right to govern themselves it was not in- tended to give the party which hap- penéd to be in the majority in any vear the right to do everything it wished. Sometimes men obfect because the constitution does not allow some law to be made which they favor, but this is bécause the constitution tries to protect all. The U. S. must see that each state has a republican form of government. This means that it ia 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 disagree, the state must give way. In a republic the people have the pewer which they give for a short timo to officers elected by them who carry out the laws. Other men choten by the paople make the laws. If the people think an officer has not acted wisely or properly they can turn him out at the next election or can bring him to trial before the end of his term.

U. C. gets good and ready to listen to us. And 1 would like to add that the consensus of opinion among most people seems to be that our representatives in the state legislature were lame: ducks to allow any such thing to be put over on us.
