Veteran Legion, and prominently Identified
with many of the great labor protective
associations in Chicago and New York,
and Secretary of one of the largest asso
ciations in the former city, had for nearly
thirty years been afflicted with kidney
troubles.
Within a short period he has been per
suaded to try peruna, and his present
healthy condition Is attributed to bis ju
dicious use of that great remedy. Wash
ington climate is notoriously bad for kid
ney and liver -troubles, yet by a Judicious
use of the remedy he Is now quite cured
and In excellent physical condition.
This brief statement of facts, without
exaggeration or hyperbole, appears to tell
the whole story, which the Peruna Com
pany is authorised to use. If It so chooses,
for long periods. In this way winning tha
Intimacy which alone could give them the
Information they sought. The settlement
worker distinguishes himself from either
the missionary or the scientific observer
by his assumption that he la first of all at
home In the comn.unlty where he lives and
that his attempts at amelioration of the
conditions that surround him and his scten
tlflo study of these conditions flow frm
this Immediate human relationship, this
neighborhood consciousness, from tne fact
that he is at home there.
it is an Interest fact that settlements
have flourished only where there baa been
a real democracy.
Im England and America. .
It has been only In England aixi America,
where we appeal to the everyday opinion
of the average man for social control, that
it has seemed of Importance tn nocial
workers to identify themselves with this
consciousness for the sake of directing:
their own work,
There are two phases of latter-day -clfll
and moral rndeavor which are perhaps
better exemplified In the settlement than
anywhere else. One of these Is the enor
mous increase of Interest in our social
problems, ami the other la a sofhewhut
novel type of moral consciousness that Is
occupied not so much with finding motive
to do what Is felt to be right, as in finding
out in a given situation just what la right
and wrong. I think both of these are due
to an Identification of moral consciousness
with our modern seientlflc consciousness.
You will find the settlements at the
points where the most intensely interesting
problems in modern Industrial and soctal
life sre centered. It is the good fortune
of our time that moral consciousness has
been able to tap so large a stream of
intellectual Interest.
Ira Work Palnlt Dees Nat.
The other function of the settlement, or
of that Wjovement of which the settlement
is the most concrete Illustration, Is to
enable us to form new moral judgments
aa to what la right and wrong, where ws
have been in such painful doubt. It Is
here that the settlement Is enaoled to ac
complish what the pulpit cannot aeenm-
fillsh. The pulpit Is called upon to Inspire
o right conduct, not to find out what Is
tha right unless the right Is so plain that
he who runs may read. While lis dogma
has tx-en abstruse Its morality has been
uniformly simple. When, then, new prob
lems arise, such as the question of the
right of the employer to use his property
rights to control and exploit the labor of
children and women, the justice of the
union in Us effort to advance tha wage,
and a hundred more such problems which
nave neen crowding upon us, trie pulpit
is unable to solve them, because it has
not the apparatus and the scientific tech
nique which the solution of such problems
demands. In the meantime it holds Its
peace, for It niunt give no uncertain sound
to the battle. The only overt social Usuos
with which the pulpit in re-ent time has
Identified itself have been temperance and
chastity.
The settlement, on the other hand. Is not
primarily engaged in fighting evils, but In
finding out what the evils are; not lh
enforcing performed moral judgments, but
In forming new moral judgments. Not
thnt the settlement la to bn confounded
wiU) the university In tts scientific work.
It Is more than an observer, a student of
a situation. It has voluntarily made lis- If
a part of the community. It is finding
out Its own duty, not the duty of others. It
is discovering propee lines of conduct, not
primarily fa I. The t!emert In prac

ays ha will send a communication to the
council Tuesday evening containing the
notification that unless bids for the con
struction of sidewalks are at once ad

he will disband tha sidewalk department
of his office. Further, "ths city engineer
will tell the council bis office will riot sub
mit specifications for approval, that tha
charter does not so provide. Tha order
for tha submission of specifications was
passed at the last meeting of the council.
The city council can not make a foot
ball of this office," says tha engineer. "The
law gives us the right to prepare plans
and specifications for all public work, in
structs us so to do, but says nothing
about the council approving those plans
and specification. That Is the duty of this
office. Tha council is not supposed to
know, whether it does or not, what the
plans should call for. All It is to do Is to
order the city clerk to advertise for bids
after the specifications are rwn. Ths
specifications are aeady; this of flea hss
dons its work and Is through, and. while
the city clerk has not advertised for bids,
that does not concern this office In the
least, except tbat it may mean that there
will be no sidewalk building this year
Jut sat Eaterlaa- Wedge,
The city engineer further expressed tha
opinion that the ordering of the submis
sion of sidewalk specifications waa simply
an "entering wedge" and that next ths
council would ask to approve specifications
for all public work.
The council Tuesday evening passed a
new ordinance specifying that asphalt "top
ping" on residence streets shall be one-half
inch thicker and on business streets onch
Inch thicker thai heretofore. The city engi
neer advises that his department will pay
no attention to the document on the
grounds that the council baa no right to
state how thick asphaltum shall be; that It
is entirely within the province of the engi
neering dpartment and that that depart
ment has whole control of the master. The
statement la made that brick paving con
tractors could get an ordinance through
the council specifying that asphalt shall
be of such a thickness that asphalt con
tractors would be put out of business en
tirely. Providing the present weather continues
the work of repairing the street pavement
will begin the latter part of the month,
Engineer Rosewater says. The plant is In
good condition, the machinery is up In
shape, and 100 tons of asphalt are now on
hand. The department expects to use 300
tons of asphalt this season. "

Under his plea that he had been tricked
by a friend, who gave him the express

forging an endorsement, Eugene J. Miller
was declared not guilty by a jury In crtm

supposed the transaction was a proper one.
One of the principal pieces of evidence
was a letter signed by the name, A. Holts,
and addressed to Miss Myrtle Merritt, in
which the writer says he had played a
trick on Miller by paaajng a money order
for $3.61 on him. The state contended that

In view of the attack on the legality of
the present Park board appointed by the
mayor a decision of Judge Radicle In the

South Omaha, rendered a short time ago.
Is of timely Interest. The South Omaha
board Is appointed by the district judges
and the validity of their appointment was
raised In the fight on the park bonds.
Judge Redick held the law providing the
judges should appoint was not unconsti
tutional and that the South Omaha board
la at least the de facto board and Its title
to tha office could not be questioned In a

not exactly the same as the South Omaha
