esting Career.
Milwaukee la pulling itself to
gutbur aftei hei election surprise
the triumph of » “kid," Hhorburno
Al. Becker. twenty-nine, over the
four-time mayor. David Itose The
betting night before the election was
4 to 1 against Meeker, und his can- (
dldacy had been regarded us a Joke
and generally bellttlad by the case
hardened politician* of tho city. He
was opposed by every element usual
ly aligned against good government.
Becker's victory was only another
of those reform waves which have
become so evident In American mu
nicipalities In tho lust six months.
It was won on a clear-cut Issue of i
honesty In public office. Tho party
uspect was lost In the campaign.
Young Becker not only dared cut
loose from partisan Issue* but from
the two old gactlons of tho publican.
He was a refreshing Innovation, and
that won out A testimonial to the
confidence felt In him Is that the
most radical vote, tho Socialist, was
cut down although ho is from what
Is known as tho silk-stocking ele
ment. and the utmost stress was laid
upon thut by the opposition He Is

tion, a tobacco factory. On the oth
er baud, as an Alderman he already
had made good, was a man close to
the people, haa been a cowboy and
a hunter in the Heckles, and goes to
prize fights. lie has a charming
wife and two handsome children. He
Is of An American family many gen
erations old.
Decker got Into politics when he
whs twenty-five, lie ran for super
visor of his ward Everybody
laughed, but when the returns came
he had won. Then he was elected
Alderman. When he announced his
candidacy for Mayor, the old pol
iticians said he was crazy. His op
ponent, Mayor Hose, called him a
“brat," from the platform, and he
wui attacked on all sides because of
his youth. Decker met flie Issue and
made capital out of it
Although not yet installed the
bosses already have found they can
ot cotrol him The peeple of the
State are demanding that he run for
Governor, but Becker says “wait.”
"There are many things I consider
the need of the hour In promoting
the public welfare In American cit
ies,*' says Becker "Judging from
the movements for reform In some
of our largest municipalities, I take
it that there has been too little hon
esty In public office, The people, as
a rule, have been to blame, for It has
always been In their power to select
good tnen.
"But there has been an awakening

rPbe church of Christ is not a
school of philosophy, it is a reservoii
ttf life. It should be large enough
to welcome to its membership all who
profess und call themselves Chris
tians, and to its ministry nil who, in
the spirit of Christ, are endeavoring
to promote peace and good will
among men. Christ has given his
minister.-; both their mission and j
thuir equipment: "As my Father hath
sent me, even so send I you. Re
ceive ye the Holy Spirit. Whoso so
ever sins ye remit, they ye retain,
they are retained." Whosoever ;.*•

Philander C. Knox, senator from
Pennsylvania, is*vu inveterate road
er, devoting all his time from legis
lative or legal duties to reading. He
purchases all the best hooks and all
the rare editions of old w-orks which
come his way. He reads in his car
riage going to the capitoi, on trains
and every place where he must spend
some moments waiting.
The ring people as they have been
accused, ask that they he exposed to
tho public* for any graft in the city

side expresses a willingness to do
so and will at once proceed so we
are Informed by both the opposing
parties. Now we shall see what is
