V - And so Mrs. Riley wrote the verses which told the story of the love of a doll mother for her dolly. Mrs. Gay- nor wrote the music; the song was published, and, from the start, was a tremendous success. . "Jerushyvr' was quickly followed by "Tke Slumber Boat," "The-Jap Doll;* "The Gingerbread Man" and others, until the invitation came to enter the educational field and write songs for kindergarten and graded schools. In this work they have supplied four different books of songs, covering so aide a range of subjects as to furnish material for all practical and artistic needs of children from kindergarten through the grades. In another field closely related to the educational work, that is in op- erettas of children, have. Mrs. Gaynor and Mrs. Riley done noteworthy work. "The House"TlsX Jack Bultt," pub- lished in 1902, was the first of these. This was given in Evanston in 1904 and has been in constant production ever since by enthusiastic children who never tire of personifying the ever-cnanging Mother Goose charac- ters. "The Toy Shop," s later work of similar character, deals with a^revolu- tion to a toyshop and is a gentle satire on society. WILMETTE MAN How the Affairs of the County Have Been Mistreated Under Present Management Expenditures Have Gone Up at an Unprecedented Rate Since the Last Republican Administration and Tax Payers* Money Mas Been Expended with Little Return. .. ■ VOTER SHOULD KNOW THE FACTS AND BE READY TO REBUKE THE WASTERS AT NOVEMBER ELECTION Many voters are awaiting the No- vember election with considerable sat- isfaction for the purpose of express- ing by their votes their opinion of the present wasteful methods of the County Board, to call them by no worse name. In order that those who have not followed the proceedings of the Board below are given a. few facts concern- ing the county's business: COMPARISON OF SALARY AP- PROPRIATIONS IN ' 1910 UNDER THE LAST REPUBLICAN BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND SUBSEQUENT YEARS. The moment the democrats came into power In 1911 they made whole- sale increases in the salaries of the employees of the county without any reference to worth or fitness. These salary increases protect and benefit the democratic officeholders who were placed in their positions before the Civil Service Law went into effect on July 1, 1911.______ In 1912 and 1913 the salaries were again Increased on the ground that the old experienced employees of the county -were entitled to these in- creases.'

Since the democrats have been in control the salary appropriations have been as follows: Appropria- Year. tion. i9io....$2,7«o,soo.>:; 1911.....3,222,7-1.18 1912.... 3,«5,390.UT5 1913____3,233,041.78 1914.... 3,497.105.01 New County Hospital. In November. 1910, the voters of Cook county passed a bond issue of f3,000,000 for new county hospital buildings. As both an the democrats came into power they began making junket trips to various parti of the country and jockeyed the letting 6T contracts so that more than a year passed before the contracts were let. The republican board In 1910 planned a complete system of buildings which would have largely Increased the ca- pacity of the hospital The total bond Issue of $3,000,000 hss now been ex- pended and a hospital building la In course of construction which, for this enormous outlay of money, .will pro-; vide a total of six hundred find nfty-six beds. As n matter of fact the build- ing is not yet completed, as any one can sew who, Witt visit ^he hospital watch lahed. Contrast this work with the Republican record in the building of the new court house and the new in- urinary at Oak Forest __ _ . For the expenditure or $3,000,000 a hospital should and could have been erected which would have accommo- dated at least sixteen hundred pa- tients as against the six hundred and fifty-six which will now find room In the new building.
