During his administration the city lias spent nearly Half a million dollars in improve incuts and upkeep the largest ; expenditure in nearly a (jllartci' of a century and, in spite of . , ; the vicious and unprincipled at I tacks of his enemies, he has not I only met and disproved every flue of them, but lie lias dem onstrated that for every dollar of the taxpayers' money ex pended, the city has received 100 cents of value. Moreover, while expenditures iiave ineras cd, the tax rate has not increas ed materially and in many ways the expense of city administra tion has been reduced. Mvor Pipes and the retiring eoiiuciinieu have served thei city without pay, at consider uble personal sacrifice of time j and money, and for this Mayor l'ipes particularly has received lit tie 111 return but utilise, villi- ficalion and considerable un friendly ridicule.!. But such treat mcnt seems to be u com mon penalty in democratic (?ov erniiicnt, particularly where those in public office lack, as Mayor Pipes lacked, the in stinct and arts of the practical politician. During bis admin istration the people paid a great deal of attention to tho incident of the police matron and the episode called forth that un fortunate phrase, "bums in the city park," but very little at tention to what the' irtnyir and Brisbane's Today (Continued from Page One) ., . s i course, if the money is used wisely, and not used to corrupt ....

' ' However, that Is all over now, and as time goes on, and the rec ord of the past two years becomes clearer, the people will appreciate more and more what Mayor Pipes and tho rotlrlrig counciltnen have dono. 80, us we recently congratu lated .Mayor Wilson and wished him success In the future; we now congratulate Mayor Pipes on his record in the past, and assure him that we appreciate his unselfish and unremitting devotion, his en ergy, courage and efficiency, de voted to the betterment nnd up building ot the city of which he, and we all, are so proud. Speakings of mayors, Chicago has started tho task of selecting a new ono. One familiar with Mayor Thompson the unspeakable Big Bill would not suppose that he could have a chance of being re elected, but at the present writing It looks as though lie would be. For the forces of decency and good government are running true to form anil fighting among them selves. There are already two can didates opposing llig Rill in the Kcpuhlican primary and there will soon he three. With his opposition split In such fashion, Dig Hill, with Ills well organized inuclme, and tho support of the black belt and the underworld, can hurdly fall to win. Why the self respecting; peoplo of ( hlcugo can t get together behind ono candidate, ami tie a can to llig lilll, Is only another one of tho un solved mysteries of this extraord inary metropolis of the Middle West. ' A miniature blizzard is ruglng outside and tho youngest member is of course delighted. She is now getting rigged up to go out in it, and there is this to be said for the young lady. While nearly every other member or the family reun ion is suffering from a cold, she is as fit as a fiddle. Perhaps if the grownups had spent as much time as sho in the open air and also as much time after sundown in bed, they would be as fortunate. A movie party is to see "Paid" tonight.

Usually the stag shakes Iu.h (ail onco or twlco, hops ovor the fence, is gone, and seen no more. But many in this country will agree with some kind-hearted mem bars of parlinmont that It is an out rage to pursue a stag with hounds, and down tho stag. And wo take calmly the fact that five hundred thousand traps, at this moment, are holding animals of different kinds, caught for their fur, and doomed to suffer agony uutil tho trapper, at his leisure, comes to release thorn. Sometimes such an animal will blto off its leg and thus gain free dom for a cripjded life. And every body knows how fishing Is done. The fact Is that men are still In tho ngo of cruelty, and there's po use making a fuss about ono stag. A young woman will kill a help less animal, and have her photo graph tnken with hor foot on its head. Sho would he shocked if she saw n gorlllao standing with its foot on the head ot a freshly killed mnn or woman. Men, looking for employment, in this and other countries, will read with amazement that Russia, with population greater than ours, Is short 2,000.000 workmen, ltiittsian women nro asked to fill tho places,; for which tlKM'o aro not men ! enough, and will ho paid tho same wages as men, and millions of them, 'trained to hartl work In tho fields, will he able to do a man's work. j ' Casein Particles Measured. 1 1 M I N ( 1 TO N .

'V The first graders at a certain public school are severely reproved by their teacher whenever they ar rive late. ' - Sometimes they are even sent to the principal to be thoroughly scolded. Trained educators appar ently do not understand child na ture and are unaware of the situa tion In the ordinary home when they give a child of six or seven punishment for being tardy. The situation, however, is a common one., in public school throughout theTountry. One little first grader was so dis tressed by the scoldings she re ceived for being tardy that she de veloped the habit of vomiting .at the time each morning when she should have started to school. . Actually the responsibility for tardiness in the first and second grader fails entirely upon the home. When mothers feel school au thorities are not as understanding on this point ns they should be it would be well worth while for them -to speak to those in charge. They should have an understand-, Ing which would place the respon sibility for punctuality where it belongs. Little children, of course, should, learn the necessity for meeting ap- pointments. They cannot learn It all at once, however, and it is un-i fair to make them feel the burden of wrongdoing when they fail. If parents are faithful in meeting the responsibility for punctuality of children in the first and second, grades there will be no difficulty in their forming desirable habits. ; By the time the child is nine or; ten years old ..he. will be able and willing to assume .this responsibil ity for itself.
