Zion's Herald is authority for. the
statement that the amount contributed

minister and representing an average
cuninuuuon or $4.iu from each com

$11,216,353, an average of only $632

NO SECRETS FROM THE PEOPLE
Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland
announces that one of the tmi X
which he will pursue in the city whet
has just accorded him a handsome i en
dorsement by a re-election will be to
keep open all doors and books in tho
city hall." No secrets from the pec!
pie. Mayor Johnson has been classed
as a demagogue but the people of
Cleveland appear to like his kind
of demagogism. His effort to make
the acts of all public servants an onen
book that all the taxpayers may know
the exact status of their own inter
ests will not detract any from his
popularity. The people have been eel,
ting a taste of publicity and they are
now demanding it to the fullest ex
tent. Designing politicians may not
like the idea of publicity, but the
people have learned that it is the
proper way to curb the grafter, and
that it is better to prevent the mis
use of funds than to punish those who
are recreant, after the funds have
been dissipated. Removal of the temp
tation for graft and punishment to tho
fullest extent of. those who are false
to their trust ought to 'bring about a
better condition of affairs in all mu
nicipalities. Cedar Rapids Gazette.

Barrymore, Miss Anna Held, Miss Ed
na Wallace Hopper, Miss Edna May
and two or three other actresses.
"A stunning table1 it was, undoubt
edly. A young blue jacket passed be
fore it. He stood quite still for some
minutes, with his bronzed young face
and his .neat nautical togs, staring
with the most ardent and respectful
admiration at the young women before
him. Then, with a half sigh, he laid
a piece of silver down and turned
away.
" 'Won't you have something for
your money?' one of the women
called.
"The gallant sailor smiled and an
swered: "Tve had more than my money's
worth already, thanks.' "New York
