not seen as much interest in any one matter for a long time, but Tuesday evening the mayor settled all doubts by vetoing the measure. He believes the ordinance a mistake, and we are glad he has the courage of his / con- victions. It is not a pleasant duty for one situated as he is, to do such a thing, when he knows his associates or some at least, Ithink otherwise. But it is always inspiring to see a man in a position like him stand up for his convictions, even though you may think he is wrong. In thislcase h0wever. we think the great majority of the citizens are with the mayor. As will be seen from reading his veto, he bases his objections on three points. The faterof the ordinance grant- ing the street railway company the right to widen their tracks on certain cénditions, passed Sept. 6th, has been in doubt for a month. We have First. the or'dinhnce was not called for, which is true and what is more, as he intimates, it evoked very decid~ e loppoeition. ‘ The property owners were there in pretty strong force and protested against it; residents in other parts of the city did the same. and everybody knew the railway company objected to it. What the property owners and citizens asked for,â€"the railway folks were not thereâ€"â€"was more time that they and the-citizens, and a committee of the council, which they asked for. and the railway otficials might all get together and see if they could not formulate such an ordinance as would meet the demands of all the interest ed parties. But the council refused to grant more time and passed that ordinance. that no one wanted. The mayor’s position there is unasesilable. Second: The council knew in ad vance the railway folks would not accept it: all talh of “blufl” etc. is child’s play. Moreover the council was ready only a few weeks before to allow the railway company to widen its tfacks, if only it would do so at its ova cost, as doing so Would not damage the street or city one dollar, and so no compensation was asked, or thought of, so far as we heard. Now that being the case, the mayori wants to know, why the council should turn right around and de. mand nearly one thousand dollars worth of electric lights per annum of the railway company for a con- cession which only a few weeks be. fore the council was ready to grant for nothing. That was practically asking the company to give some ”BOOâ€"tor that which the council had been ready to give it free. To expect the company to do that he seems to regard as preposterous. How far out of the way is he? Third: What the public, especial- ly the residents and property own- ers on Sheridan road, Prospect, Laurel, Central and Vine avenues demand first and above all else is, the paving 0‘ St Johns, so they can : lie-loomeewbiick the perfect embodi- I I get about town on good streets at. all times of the year. The mayorE says truly that St Johns isthe “con- ‘ necting link” and until it is improv- ed, the others are mere fragments. The property owners and citizens . asked for more time, Sept. 6th, so} they could complete a plan, well . under way, for securing the paving: of St Johns without one dollars ex< * pense to the citizens or the city. by ! allowing the railway company to push their tracks to the west an out of the street as far as possible . and instead of paving betWeen their ‘ tricks. pave the public streets; as we i understand the mayor, this is what! he thinks the property owners on Sti Johns and the‘ citizens generally ! mant- Rance. he vetoes this ordinance ment of physical health. 1 Last evening, at the home of Al-j derman Brand, a reception was ten dered Mr. Wilson.0ne of the soldiers 3 who lately‘ returned from Cuba. byj members of the K. L. C. E. of the United Evangelical church. of which Mr. Wilson is a member. Singing by the entire assemblage of 45 or more present. a recitation by Miss Elsie Brand, readings by Mrs. Wm. Nor- enberg and Miss Mabel Brand.made the evening pass« all too quickly. 3 After the above had been rendered. Mr. Norenberg, in behalf of the soc iety, in a few, well chosen words. pre- s ented Mr. Wilson with a handsome gold K. L. C. E. charm. After res freshments and a recitation by Miss Minnie Streiber. the assemblage ad- journed to their respective homes, all voting it a pleasant evening and one long to be. remembered. ‘ want; home, he vetoes this ordinance which he is satisfied they do not waht and with those convictions we do not see how he could do otherwise. From what we have heard since Sept. 6th, we era'satisfied the public will sus- tain the mayor. THE MAYOR'S VETO. THE NEW CRUSADERS. The young people of the Baptist Church in Waukegan are nothing if not enterprising. Their meeting house is undergoing enlargement nd re- pairs and during it all so far, they have been able to hold services in their lecture room. But even that will be taken from them next Sun- day night, hence, on invitation of the Young People's Society of the Baptist church here they will come down to the Park Sunday evening and hold service in the Baptist meet- ing house in this city. Arthur Evans has chartered spec ial cars for them,â€"-nt 108% 50 strong more likely the number willbe near- er 100â€"â€"~for the round trip. The ser- vice which will begin at 7:30 o‘clock will be led by Louis Yager, the well known leader of Waukegan, and will be one of rare excellence and inter- eat. It will be a right royal service to attend. and it will be only a worthy expression uf our appreciation of their Christian helpfulness in this coming down here for an evenings service. It ought and doubtless will be one of of the mpst interesting services ever held in the Baptist Church.

Kirk is back in the Park again as a resident and we are all glad to see him, as he isu hustler and as genial as he is lively. He will occupy his cottage down toward the lake. this winter. He has just spent three or four weeks way up in the north woods. fishing and hunt- ing. They had an expert guide who took them to a secluded spot never fished and run over by hunters. where game was good and plenty. and as their guide was a superb cook they lived like princes and had amost de- lightful time. twenty-five miles from anywhere: no cars, newspapers or lelegrams, but absolute simplicity. fun and happinessw thc full.
