Nevertheless members do want it. Alderman Gill, last year was quite frankly in his re- quest for the honor. He thought he deserved it; he had been faithful and he would like this recognition of his He got it, and the affairs of honest services, the city have not perhaps, especially bencfited. In fact . it is quite possible that some people in the city do not know that he has been presidet pro tem. of the coun- cil. The fact has not brought them excessive happiness nor has it plung- ed them in the slotigh’ or despond. They have gone about their work piti- fully ignorant of the important fact. But this year is something clse again. Alderman Gill naturally wants re- olection as a vote of confiYence, as it were. Perhaps he has not yet entered his plea, but he will, probably. Then there is candidate Cornelius J. Dehm, the well-known “regular’” republican of the first ward who hopes to be eiceted to the council and, probably, will run for the pro tem. presidenc: And there is now suggested the name of Alderman Pajewski, endorsed by both parties in the fifth ward, as can- didate for the position. There is the fietd. Now for the prediction. Alder- man Gill occasionally forgets the ma- chine when his Heart dictates some- thing else; he is inclined to ask em- barrassing questions in his ingenuous way, of some “regudgr,” which ques- tions the regular republican has some difficulty in answering. Cornelius Dehm, now, is quite different. Tt he is elected he will ask no cog of any ma- chine any questions that will embar- He will sign the dotted 2 to form.

Dehm ADMIRAL KNAPP Another of the distinguished men of this state has died, leaving a place that may be filled only by a man of power, patriotism and ability. Rear Admiral Harry 8. Knapp was born in this city in 1856, later to Hartford in which city he died v terday after a service to his country—a service even after he had been placed on the retired list of the Navy in which he had served with such marked ability. Often occasion to eite the liv have achieved success in business or in a profession through their ability, unaided by influence voritism. © Such lives are spirations those leave practical wealth to the world in the memory of their example when they have died. In the life of Ad- miral Knapp there is the same story to tell—of success in the service of hi count resulting only from ability duly recognized, In his death there is even a greater example than that of the end of the activities of a suc- cessful professional or business man— a memory of service to the country unfaltering in determination, unblem- Ashed by taint of selfishness. THE KLAN IN KANSAS Or, more properly, perhaps, this ‘eomment should be headed *William Allen White and the Klan." It is in- figpired by the news that political ‘eandidates in Emporia, Kansas, the ‘“nome of the noted author and news _ paper man, as well as dabbler in poli- tise and world affairs, who had the backing of the Ku Klux Kian were * successful in recent municipal eclec- ‘tions.

Old-fashioned con- | cern for those people was about the thing the members of the com- | mon council were thinking of, and they are to be commended for their action. | 1t is extremely doubtful of them knew that the crection of this | | new building would bring a saving of | about $100 a week in the city's insti- | | tutional bills. Anxious as members of ['the council are to save money for the | | city, they believed that the inmates of the town farm should not be| housed in a fire-trap which was cold | in winter inadequate at all times. Expense was forgotten momwn‘.ru,\'.' The news, therefore, that the establishment of a children’s ward in | connection with the new building will | bring this saving, according to Super- intendent Cowlishaw, shows that the action was wiser, perhaps, than wus | realized at the time the council acted | | s0 humanely. It seems that children under four | years of age who now town charges and placed in institutions or | |a only if many An with private fam represent an ex- | | pense of §4 weekly.
