"Magnificent as has been the achieve ment of our system of education, It has never been able to shake off the fetters of inherited ideas, foreign alrke to the age and the tondltion under which the government was-established and under which we live.

A plea for harmony and a strong pull together for the best Interests of the people vitalise Mayor Lane's second bi ennial message to common council read in the first session of the new body yesterday afternoon. In his message the mayor said he would not enter Into any detail of administration, but would call attention to the condition of af fairs as contingencies arise. The mes-saa-e follows: "To the Honorable City Council: At the beginning of the biennial term of tne administration 01 city airairs i deem it not improper to call attention In a general way to certain conditions which present themselves for con sideration. "As I understand the premises we oo- England and America now He the trend of civilisation and the destiny of the world. "Today the three nations united can, If they will, dominate council chambers, direct the policy of governments, regu late International relations, and put an end to wan - National -commercial riv alry and the precedents of internation al law which preclude 'one state from interfering with the domestic affairs of another are preventing that unity of action which the times and condi tions demand: "The performance of the present peace conference is a sort of an inter national sewing circle, and its conclu sions will have equal weight with reso lutions - passed by that historio institu tion of . our mothers. Yet every dele gate In that august, conference knows that Jablnets at . Berlin, ' London and Washington can proclaim and assure in ternational peace, for the world knows that they can maintain it. - - - "Christendom has shuddered with horror for a year at the story Of Uie mutilation of natives In the Congo who failed to bring their tithe of rubber to the as-ents of Kins Leopold, but in no one of the It nations which participated n the famous Benin conference nave the sufferers found a champion. What excuse can the Anglo Saxon -race offer for neglect like thisr ; "The time probably has not arrived for the establishment of a republic in Russia, but a constitutional monarchy wouia satisrr tne aavocaies or lioertv and forestall revolution which, when it comes, will rival In Us terrible, anarchy me r rencn reign or terror.

A power win arise naying tne courage ox con science - and of righteousness. The lord of hosts will bear his arm, and io. it will be the arm of the avenger,' " cupy, our respective positions of public honor and trust as the agents and em ployes of the people, to whom and to none other do we owe any duty of any nature wnaisoever. "It is ray full and firm belief that In our position of trust our duties at all times call upon us to exercise an active and aggressive line of procedure in the conduct of affairs which concern the weal of the people of this city, and that a failure to exercise such active inter est or a perfunctory performance or evasion of our duty in any matter, how ever slight, which concerns such inter est or welfare of the people, will be neither more nor less than evidence of bad faith upon our part, and one for which we should be held responsible to tne run extent or our snortcoming. "The affairs of the city are large and Increasing at a rapid rate and the duties and cares of our positions are onerous and call for much and careful attention, yet we entered into our obligation with the full knowledge that such conditions existed, and there will be no reasonable or. Just excuse for the placing of private Interests before those , bf the public and if it so happen that anyone's Drive te interests are of such a nature as to prevent or interfere with his giving full consideration to the affairs of the city, the plain and only, course for him. to pursue will be to resign his public po sition and allow some other person, who will give the necessary attention to such affairs, the opportunity to do so. "The day In which the servants of the people can play 'ducks and drakes' with the people's Interests or pay off per sonal or political debts or other obliga tions at the expense of -the people has gone by. let us hope never to return. The people are now awake and keenly alive to the conduct of their affairs. and they expect and demand of their agents that true and Just service to which they are entitled, yet withal the people are patient and long-suffering and In their broad charity they overlook mistakes or judgment, wnere tne error is attributed to the head and not the heart, and no man need fear to rest his esse with them, in full confidence. and therein Is our protection and our shield when we pursue our way openly ana rainy. 'Th nMnl In mv Anlnlnn Af nnt look kindly upon the public official who win or does accept gratuities or any form from private corporations, nor should they, it being evidence of bad taste 'or blunted sensibility upon his oart to sav the least. "The parting with public property or rignts ior long or snort terms to private persons or corporations without Just and careful consideration and reserva tion of the rights or the public in my opinion, is a criminal use of authority unon the oart of nubile officials and should not tie countenanced foe one mo ment by the community st lange. "Acts of snecial legislation - eouaht for and freauentlv passed in behalf of Individuals are but tne nestowai or favors which are unjust to others and unworthy of your consideration; the law should be administered to all alike and therein lies the only safe and Just course ito pursue. . "I will not enter Into anv details at this time regarding improved and better methods which are required concerning the carrying on or tne ciiy a arrairs which affect the economical administra tion of the same, but from time to time will call attention to them-as such questions arise and will close by assur ing you of my hearty cooperation in every effort which you can make or will suggest respecting the betterment or tne arrairs or mis city. , "Assuring you also, that I have no enemies to punish or friends to reward In the administration of the city's af fairs and that mv only desire la to ae compitsn as mucn gooa ior me Denent of tne people aa Is possible, and to that end I at all times will be deeply grate ful to vou for your wise aid. counsel and advice. , . i ' v.
