T55P5Wjy.'"'T, wmrr,n w i - The Commoner 16 VOLUME 4, NUMBER 3$ Immediately upon the passage of the bill awarding the printing contract to the Times the good government league began an agitation for the recall of tho six aldormon who constituted a majority of tho council and whoso acta in tho matter of granting franchises, etc., had been unsatisfactory for months. Councilman J. P. Davenport of tho sixth wardthe workingman's ward, and tho worst sufferer at tho hands of tho "Big Six" was selected as the first to be called. Following tho provisions of tho charter a petition was started, tho minimum number of signatures of which must be 25 per cent of tho voters of tho ward. Within two weeks it bore 1,300 signatures out of 2,864 votes cast at the previous election. This petition was presonted to tho city clork for tho certification of tho names it bore. It was chocked against tho city directory by that official and was thrown out for tho reason that many of the addresses placed opposite tho names did not tally with the directory. Another petition was started. Other charges were added and the second document received more signatures than tho first. After a similar process of elimination it was iound to contain upward of 900 authenticated names. CLUB LIST. Any one of tho following will bo sont with THE COMMONER, both onoycar, for tho club price.

Pryrae Platitudds are the paste diamond of wisdom. The professional advice giver rarel advises himself. An augur and a man of many anec dotes aro alike perfect bores. It is usually safe to be suspicious of the man who is suspicious of others. The pqssibilities of a fool are naugh when compared with his impossibil ities. . To lenow what is right and not to qd it is as bad as to know what is vrong and to do it. Do not forget that it isn't necessary to be disagreeable in order to disagree with the other man. When a man -admits that he is never too old to learn you may be sure that ne is getting pretty old. Life is like a rifle your hind sight and your foresight must be in accprd j li you would bit your target.
