[ ] TH There was a of trying to do something for the city without thought of how such action would affect the political ¢ of members at the special sess the common council last evening. The result was that $4,000 was appropri- ated from the emergency fund and put at the disposal the school board in order that the dental clinic might be continued. The resolution was passed without opposition, and it was not difficult to imagine that the members heaved a mental sigh of re- lief that they had been in a position to do this thing, generally conceded to be wise and only fair to the chil- dren, without fearing that it would be held up against the administration to the detriment of some candidate. Had action been postponed until after clection it is quite likely that oppo- sition might have developed for fear at the election two years hence the appropriation of §4,000 for such a purpose would be pointed to as the first extravagant act of a new admin- istration under the leadership of a new mayor. Alderman Gill not quite sure whether or not the city should spend $10,000 for an excavating machine, especlally as he had been told that the machine was “no good.” With his usual open mind, however, he was quite willing to be and when it was pointed out to him on the authority of City Engineer Wi liams and Superintendent C. B. Cad- well that the machine would pay for itself before the sewer work pro- gressed as far as Belvidere, and after Mr. Cadwell had assured the alder- man that the machine was what the city needed, Alderman Gill ap- parently quite satisfied. Alderman Gill has been mentioned as the possible president pro tem. of the council. Alderman Gilpatric, mentioned as the probable president pro tem., was not present. Had he COMMON COUNCIL, | heautiful atmosphere of o convinced, was been a bit of political skirmishing | with the result of putting the real question in the shadow.

The charges against the ! general may he may even, quite an inoffensive person, but this is unlikely. The authority upon which the charges are made is too good and too American to admit of question but that there is some truth to them. The revelations, if revelations they prove to be, indicate how it is to form hasty judgment concern- ing men whose reputation is gained solely through reports coming so far from sometimes unknown sources. As leader of the forces against a class of people despised by thinking peo- ple in this country, it was supposed that Semenoft was a good sort of per- son. On the other hand it was sup- posed that those who opposed Sem- enoff were men incapable of thinking or doing right. There could be no good in the Bolsheviki; probably there could be no bad in those who opposed them. 8o, having some foundation for be- lieving now that one of the anti-Bol- shevik leaders was not quite what he should be, to put it mildly, it may be possible for us to the “judge not” command and think pos- sibly there may be some good in some of the leaders of the Bolsheviki. the “judge not,” it must be remem- bered, must still apply to our judg- ment of menoff as weil judgment of the leaders whom he op- posed. . former leader of the anti-Bol- be exaggerated; be, dangerous remember as to our CUTTING THE NAVY.

Playing safe in this regard is to be commend- | ed now.
