There were two matters of espe- | ®ial interest discussed at the meeting | of the Common Council last night. | The automebile accessory plant on ! Framklin Square, and the Two-Platoen matter. The former has been in the hands of the Mayor and the corporation counsel. A pretity good committes 48 one that settles matters to the sat- fafaction of all. Pretty good sort of opponents are thoss who do as they iy they will aecording to this set- tlement. In the one case the de- #irable result seems to have been sceomplished and in the other it seema likely that the participants will do their parts. As previously stated hers an al- Ipged nulsance loses its Individual eharacter as something apart from the lMne of trade or business of whith it partakes. When however, it s no longer claimed to be a nulsance it goes back into its class and should Dbe treated as all other dmplements or paraphernalia are treated. Evidently, under the arrangement this has happened. The automobile nccessories shop or station will ©e treated as other #as stations, though the Counell was left in some doubt on the matter and the matter will be dlsposed of by the commit- tee which is attending to the whole question unless, one of the parties breaks the temporary agreement. The mayor, in his presenting three plans Rto emablish modified two- plataon system, and then in taking the floor, and telling the Council of the needs and wants of the ecity, and the Ilikelthood that it would become more and more Aif. ficult to obtain money, did one splendid Ahing and another which will eause & great deal of comment. Probably the Commen Couniail heard much that many of its mem- '® did not know. They heard of the city’'s financlal condition more In dytall than they had known; they heard of the city’s need of money. Although the mayor did his part in presenting plans, it was believed that he hoped none of them would be adopted. His frankness, in ex- plaining that the plan costing the ity the least money and therefore momt likely of adoption, would not bring & real gwo-platoon mystem ex- popt to one station, and therefore '”‘Id not be taken as an adoption of the two-platéon wmystem through- out the eity, may have defedted that plan, for members of the council 4nd the Mayor, desire to treat all "the firemen alike. The juggling with the two-plateen |gystemt, promised to the firemen, has "Bo¢n the cause of more maneuver- g and’ consternation than anything ‘which has come before the Common Counell for some time. Tt is evident that every man In the Council ¢hamber last night Is ashamed of the fact that, under the présent conditions, he should harbor & thought of breaking that promise. But there is no question but that a 1ot of them felt they would like to be free from the promise. They would like to see the money appropriated and padtially collected turned into the ety trasury, and to commiser- &te With the firemen that they had to struggle along—iIf they have to struggle—like other people who are fully expecting “cuts” In thelr sal- ries or wages. But the moral obligation and the breaking of a promise rankles. They don’t want to break the promise; they don't want to feel that they are under a moral obligation. At the next meeting, two weeks from last night, a plan will be pre- sented by the ordinance committee. OmMelally the mayor will have noth- Ing to do with that plan. A “yea" and “nay” vote will be taken upon it presumably. If the plan s de- feated the mayor will be in the posi. tion of having presented three plans. He will be in as enviable a position a8 possible. I the plan is earried, he will be in & position to veto it it he It necessary for the welfare of the eity to do so, and his position will not be so enviable. The little talk made by the mayor last evening may Bave a considerable bearing on the watter. The ocourse that would help the fivemen to the greatest extenmt would be for the ordinance committee to Gomault freely with the mayer, car. “JEST RUMINATIN'.” (Robert Russell.)

The laughing criticism of Secretary ot Stato Hughes—and one is glad to know that he has learned to laugh— that newspaper men have incorrectly ca’led’ the coming parley the “Dis- armament Conference” when to be accurate it should e called a “Con terence on the Limitatien of Arma- ments,” is timely theugh spoken per- aaps in & facetious manner. Let pacists wrge the turning ef arms inte plowshares and point to the hazy horizon nevermore to be dimmed by smoke of war nor blotted by a rising barrage, if they will, the men at that conference will be sane and there will be no discussion look- Ing to the throwing down of all arms. President Harding hit the point th cther day when he said that no mat. ter how high our sspirations may lead us, there will atways be necessity for force. And, to add to this, such ferce will be nécessary always because we are human being and havé human characters full of faults and frallties. The Conference on the Limitations of armaments loses none of its poast bilities when called by its right name. This is all we may expect, all #¢ may hope for. If it Decomes a 1eal and earnest discussion of that, with no mental resérvations In rhe minds of the taéh meeting for this purpose it will < & wonderful apech ‘n the life of Lhe werld despite the fact that the charing from the more eonvenient, sho ter name, to the long rd accurate neme will cause head- line writers on newspapers Cousider- able trouble dnd though all over the world—aunless, mayhap, there be a countiy where ‘he one worl lke “axzymteiz” may beé used anl mesn the wholé term ‘Conference on tne Limitation of Acmiments.” AMERICAN TRON HAND. It was a mighty fortunate thing that such a man as Charles Evans Hughes was made secretary 4f the state aftér this eountry had refused to sanction the Lesgue of Nations. Being out of it completely, it wWAs good that a man of his strong character, as well as determined foree, took the place which practically dictates our foreign poliey. It is believed honestly that no president in the seérecy of couneil chamber, would dare oppose Hughes' knowledge and reasoning in concerns which Affect 8o practiealy our eoun- try's welfare. We are not in the League of Na- tions, therefore Secretary Hughes dis- regards its orders or reasons without his thought being deflected from its straight line of prepriety by the League. Never was he opposed to many of its principles. It is beliaved he was more in faver of than against it. But he takes his stand as the facts ATe—we are not A party to It, mor to the treaty of Versailles expect as that treaty gives ue certain in rights. Secretary Hughes has written a note to the allied powers concerning mandates. Of course he demands a voice regarding the former German colonles, as naturally coming from the incorporation of those rights in the treaty with Germany and pursuant to our relations with our former allies. But he goes further than that. Ad- mitting that America had no part in PRESIDENT HARDING HELPS BIG FAMILY the war against Turkey, he asserts that our help in defeating Germany enabled the allles to defeat Turkey.For this reason, he asserts, the American government must be consulted in the handling oft he former Turkish colonies. He claims our government, through the treaties that have been made and through the position we took in the world war, has a right to speak in regard to any revision of mandates terms, despite the fact that the treaty of Versailles, to which we are not signers, conférs this right on the League Council. —_—_— COTTON. While the goevernment reperts for the weéek shows increased insect dam- Age, yesterday was cotton’s great day. An advance and decline of cotton of $10 & bale in one day is not remem- bered by the oldest dealers. This came yesterday. There is reason to helteve that cotton is coming into its day. Buyers both on this side of the water and on the other have been trading in a small way. The sudden realization has come to them that they must have cotten to fil their contracts. Naturally the sudden drop yester- day, after the great rise, was caused Uy speculators eager to turn their paper profits into money. This, how- ever, does not detract from the en- couraging signs given by the over- night jump and the early morning rive. Neor, it is believed, will it detract from the interest in cotton now aroused in the South. Where for some time past there has been nothing but discouragement in the planting of cotton, the recent activity, and the fact that its necessity and its lack is recognized, will bring many a plant- er back to his job, confident of its paying quality. “Chicago Trolleys Are Prosperous,” headline.

WEEK DAY GHURCH SCHOOL I§ PLANNED At South Congregational Re- ligions Instruction for Children A novel innovation in the matter of religious teaching to children will be inaugurated at the South Congre- gational church this winter. That church plans, under the supervision of Frederick L. Fay, directér of re- ligious education, to start a week-day Bible school wherein the children will be given additional religious instruc- tion. Meet Thursday. Next Thursday a meeting of the parents of the prospective pupils of this week-day school as well as the deacons, the study committee of the church and the teachers and officers of the Sunday school will be held, at which time the matter of training the boys and girls will be considered. Plans for the school will be outlined at this meeting. Present Training Insufficient. “We feel the lack or rather insuf- ficlency of religious training ameng our boys and girls of today,” said Mr. Fay, and for this reason we_ are starting our week-day church school. The school will meet one day each wéek to supplement the present grad- ed work in the regular Sunday schoel. Object Lesson Methods. This school will depart from the old-time cut and dried orthodox way of teaching religion and will ' teach by means of handiwork, map-making modeling of clay, eard-board, ete., and biblical dramatization. It fs sald the youngsters are enthusiastic about starting. Report Cards Too. “We are going to put the responsi- bility of the child’'s progress directly up to the parent,” added Mr. Fay. This will be done by issuing quarterly President Harding saw it and wrotse & She wrote the president that her Harding then wrote to Joha Now Zaccahea will get report cards, keeping parents in close touch with the progress their ehil- dren are making. These card will include, among other things, marks for attendance and deportment &s well as progress in Bible study. ‘Written by Fay. Ths entire course has been rittén by Mr. Fay, who has had wide ex- perience and training in this line of work. It has been adapted to 16cal conditions. It will include, not enly biblieal instruction, but missiofary in- struction and facts concerning hymns as well. Starts September 29. The following Thursday, September 22, a meeting of the teachers and of- ficers of the Sunday school will be held for the purpose of completing final details prior to the opening of the new school. On Sunday, Septem- ber 35. the regular Sabbath scheol will resume its sessions and on Thurs. day, September 29, the new week-day sehoel will start.
