It is of deep concern to each and every cit- dzen because the interests of the city are his interests, because it is a bu ined#s enterprise in which he is direct- ly involved and because wastefulness and inefficiency have no more excuse for toleration there than elsewhere. ‘Thus it is incumbent upon each elector to do his part in insisting upon the best administration which can be se. cured. The responsibility for the con- duct of public business rests solely with the voter. Ie therefore has a duty of mo little importance to dis- charge in seeing that the highest ser- vice is assured at a justifiable cost, and having it it should not be shirked. Tt is always the proper time to insist upon the best and to obtain ft. The republican ticket has been named for this very purpose. It is committed to the consideration of the city’s interests at all times and to its economical and efficient government. ‘The nominees are men who ¢an be re- lied upon to devote their efforts there- to unflinchingly since the city’s inter- ests are the party's interests. Their election means the wiping out of con- ditions which have too long been tol- erated in which the reverss has been true. Due thought upon the qualifica- tions of the republitan nominees should obtain for them from the thinking veters of the city irrespective of party the kind of endorsement next Monday which calls for a readjust- ment of municipal affairs and the és- tablishmaent of city government on a business basis.

PR » JACOB RIS, There cannot help being nationwide regret at the passing of Jacob Riis, a man who was recognized as one of the great leadeérs In social reform work. He was a man of wide experience who Bad made extensivé researches in the very ftelds to which his efforts were directed. He was a keen %bserver, and from the work in which he engag- ed he was not slow to realize the op- portunities whick existed, but about which little was generally known, for the uplift of humanity. With the great eongested sections of New York as his text, he put himseft into the task of reconstruction in a manner char- acteristic of the man, and in no small degree is it to his credit that great im- provements have been made. Though progress has beer slow and the task one which requires a great amount of time and patience, he has clung to it with a persistence and enthusiasm not only contagious, but fruitful. He fully realized that the great thing in this worid canfiot be accomplished in a minute, and he planned accordingly. He has not only suggested many need- ed reforms, talked them and lived them, but he has always been found giving his support to évery undertak- ing which was aimed at betterment. were but few sections of the country not privilezed to hear him as & lecturer or a refornier, but certainly none was without the opportunity of knowing of his efforts and achieve- ments. -The world was better. for his having lived: o EDITORIAL NOTES.

Maybe you have one which just | suits you and you never ask yourself how it looks measured by the best; concept, of this spiritual monitor. At times eéverybody speaks of comscisnce as if. it was a real possession; but not always as if it was a real force. Man' conscience, Byron declared, is the ofl-l clé of God; and yet, with seemingly good conscience men have committed the most brutal acts. If you have “a conscience which warns you as a friend before it condemns you as a judge,” you have a consclence worth having. There are people who mistake a wholesome fear of the law or of the policé as conscience. Conscience should only prompt us to do right; but delud- ed men have often discovered' that in the name of the Lord théy were gullty of doing wrong. It is necessary to be acquainted with your conscience and t5 live on intitate terms with it 365 days in the year. It was not made for Sunday or specidl occasions. It may be that in Bovee's day books could be defined a8 “embalmed minds; but in these days the general reader runs across books which needed em- balming but have. been neglected. When gsked what I read it has to be confessbd I.am not reading the latest novels out. I must confess I usually find a little something of value in ev- ery book read. I read the books my friends commend, and often some they condemn, to get thé measure of their prejudices. I have been gullty of reéad- ing most of the religious and irrelig- fous tracts handed to me, which gives e a good view of the confiict of opin- fons and the narrowness of folks who are anxious to do good, but do neot geem to know how. I read some books whichsare left in libraries by the ple to gather dust and bugs, and often find truths in them which are 1y repudiated. Iam cu‘tu.l nof nish my mind with rubbish, whatever 1 read, for it i# the way the mind is used which gives gladness or gioom to life. An Egyptian king led books as medicine for the soul, but I regard them as quickeners of the spirit and cheerers of the heart. I came near writing May, 1914, had been a disappointment, when it has not been so very much different from other Mays since the cays when Eric the Red sailed ajong the New Eng- land coast. May never skips the ap- ple trees in bloom or the song of the oriole or the cold lamb storm; the viclets and the daisles and the shad blossoms and the bees are ever con- stant. The brown thrashers indulge in long-distance talks, the catbird mews in the Hedges, and the whip- poorwill keeps up its lively repeti- tions from sundown till the bn‘ro{ day; the swifts come and the midges and the rhubarb pile.

We can understand what TRIAL OF LINCOLN’S ASSASSINS. When John Wilkes Booth shot Abra- ham Lincoln at Ford's theater on the ! night of April 14, 1865, the world was shocked at the crime. Booth escaped from the theatre and fled to Virginia, ‘where he was cornered in tha b..r; of Royal, where he was shot. The barn was fired and Booth's body was drag- ged out. David C. Herold, one of the con- spirators, was with Booth in the barn. He was put in irons and with the body of Booth was transferred to the : monitor Montauk from a tug. Booth's | body was piaced in a grave of an old penitentiary, where it remained until 1869, when President Johnson gave Bdwin Beoth, the actor, permission te bave it removed te the cemetery at Baltimere. ‘The censpiraters one after.the other rounded and placed in the penitentiary n“‘hfl:- ington.

EVERY DAY REFLECTONS Possession. 1n higher matters there is mo such thing as possession. One may own & cane or a hat, a house and possibly a dog, but to say that one c¢an own an idea or an emotion is absurd. If one offers ypu some of his money, his stock of fu: is decreased by as much as you take. But if he offers you some of his knowledge of chemistry, some of his skill in painting, some >f his taste in literature, some of his love, or some of his religion, then exacily the opposite resuit 48 produced; for he hag left more than he had before he ve. - .‘Th-‘ is doubt whether the saving, “Jt is more blessed to give then to re- celve,” should be applied to morey at all; for In the end it makes little d't- ference.

Mr. Bdit ‘Well Mr. Taxpayer, the election is Monday and it is up to you whether an out of the cidf wesident will be street commissioner, also whether Alderman Gebrath and Coun- cilman Fowler will continue to be fed from the public crib_with your hard earned tax money.
