Riellberg.Probably very few residents of Chicago, casually observing the stumblingprogress of local government, realizethe control over municipal legislationexercised by the courts. The powersof the city council of Chicago are onlythose conferred upon it by the legislature. While an ordinance is presumed to be reasonable and valid, if itis attaeked the courts must consider,first, whether the power to pass theG����.Q,�tala tare aDcl," aec:ond, whether the or-dinance' is. "nasonable." 'It therefoN follows that any private interest affected by the passageGf a municipal ordinance bas numerGUS grounds of attack which can beurged - with varying degrees of plausibility to hamper or prevent enforcement. A brief outline of two pendinccontroversies may make this clear.When the ordinance was passed July17. 1911, fixing the present rates forgas (75 cents 1911' to 1912; 70 cents1912 to 1914; 68 cents 1914 to 1916),the company immediately sought andobtained an injunction from the Circuit cou� on the ground that therates fixed were unreasonable, that is,that they did not provide for a sdicient return upon the investment ofthe company over the cost of producing gas. This main question can onlybe decided after lengthy hearings involving complicated questions of factas to the value of the Gas company'sproperty and the cost of producinggas and after the determination ofnumerous questions of law, as \0proper accounting and what are realand what are fictitious values in itspermanent investment.

S. A., commander of the deparbnent ot the East,in his speech on "Military Trainingof Citizenship" delivered yesterdayafternoon in Mandel hall. MajorGeneral Wood made an especial pointin his lecture of the unavoidable inefficiency of a volunteer system ofsecuring an army."One of our most recent movementstoward preparedness was the establUihment of the summer militarytraining camps. By means of thesewe hope to assemble a reserve corpsof 50,000 officers. This force is mostessential and urgent. At present inthe various military schools of thecountry there are about 40,000 men,of whom only approximately 4500 gointo the regular army."What we Deed and what we aretrying to get is a two-year militarycourse' in the non-military colleges.The undergraduates who take thiscourse will be compelled to take theregular work and to attend two summer camps.

It seemsto be axiomatic that each succeedingProm shall put to shame the purplenautilus in building for itself more--__;:..-�s�('eTy- mansions, or words to that ef-fect.'1;9 q�9te another maxim, however,!!f� � no!; all beer and skittles, or, toJ,!iJm �e �ject closer home, is not� one-stepa and dancing; pumps, oreven recitations and laboratories. InIftlo� since b;romi4es are handy �e1;0 tQ�e and typewriter, th� is �W'orld,-a v� � world, at p�se�"s9mewher� in Cb���o."For this reason it seems fitting at� time, to stalk � a sort·of mental�o's g�ost at the Prom feast and� �l �p the hard knocks and comersof the regio�' bey�n�, where eventaare' brewing which should claim th�-.tt�tion of �ch good citizen, whetbfjr sajd citizen resides in GreenwoodBi�c�k, SnelJ or �oster. One week'� today the sixth and seve�tbwards � Chicago will go on rec:o�'�to whe�er 1hey care to endorse1;he ':fhompso'Q. �ladministration, �rWhether they shall rise to administerto the Boald of Spoils Polities thestinging rebuke it deserves.In these two wards nine-tenths ofthe University community is located.Oir-hand, one should say that the UDiversity community is the last in thecity which needed to be warned to votefor good govemment. Unfortunately,the University community is wrappedup most of the time in qu��, l.b.note-books, th�es, bowling to1l!1Ulmenta and Proms to an extent whichmakes its familiarity with politiealconditions a matter of some d01Jbt.Owing to this fact, it is barely possible that the statement of the Thompson press agents to the effect that"our big-hearted Big Billiken has beenhampered in his efforts to pass constructive measures for the benefit ofa greater Chicago having been frustrated by such common disturbers asAldermen Merriam, Buck, Kimball andH�e,':' maY have created a false impression. Such statemen� takenalone, �y be misleading. If themembers of the University community could ,.,und a council meeting inthe city hall themselves,-they wouldb£ swiftly UDdeeeived. Attendance at� c:oUacn session :would undeceive the;D1".�s 01 a Day Nursery as to the"constraetive me�es" in the passage of which the esteemed occupant of t4e mayoral chair bas been "JuunPered·"To come do� to hard facts, two oftile �4ermen �pinst whom th�Thompson administration-the administration which is loyally and unswervingly supported b>: Hinky Dink Kennaand Bathhouse John Coughlin of theFirst Ward, Smooth Ed Cullerton· or'the Eleventh, and the latest acqulsi,tion to the Gray Wolf pack, M. �Michaelson of the Thirty-first - ismost bitterly opposed, will be candidates at the primaries next Tuesday.Willis O. Nance and John N. Kimballhave both been classed as "four-Bushers" and "paid reformers" by MayorThompson, whose idea of a modelalderman is one who will vote according to the dictates of Boiler InspectorNye and Patronage-Dispensor-Extraordinary Fred Lundin.Both Nance and Kimball have madeenviable records. Dr. Nance, as chairman of the Health committee, hasproven himself to be a thoroughlyconscientious and efficient alderman.In fathering the motion to compel thepresent Uncivil Service commission ofChicago to report to the councilmonthly its list of "temporary" appointees, he showed himself a trustworthy friend of the merit system andan enemy of the spoils politics whichthe Thompson administration is evi,dently seeking to play. Mr. Kimballled the fight for the introduction ofmoving pictures into schools andchurches, supported the ordinance tostop the sale of liquor at publicdances, helped. to create the Moralscommission, and has consistently opposed the attempts of the administration to build up a spoils machine.According to the Mumcipal Voters'league-not the Counterfeiters' leagueremem)er-Mr. �ball is "recognized as one of the most upright andreliable aldermen."However, there goes the orchestrafor the steentb, and that means thatlife is no more 'all politics than it isall dancing. Just one moment, however, while they tune their instruments. The issue in the coming primary el�ctio� is not one between republican and democrat or progressiveor soc:iaIist. It is one- of good- government or spoils politics.. A vote forKjmball or Nance is Jlot only a :votefor good government, but a rebuke to8p9ils politics. .Now, � along andstaJt that fox trot.PICf' SIX SPEAJCElIgIN DEBATE TRYOUTSJa.e, �owitz, SalDmGllS, �ey, Sing-·� .bd "aUk To lleet In .� Team FiuIs.Benjamin Jaffe, Leo Lowitz, NeilSammons, John Seerley, Harry Singer and Maurice Wallk were successful in the pre1iminay tr70� heldyesterday afternoon in Cobb 12A forthe freslm1an debating team whichwill oppose Northwestern freshmenApril 2t in Kandel on the question:"Resolved, That the' FederBI Gov-'ernment Should Own And OperateAll Steam Railroads Engaged In Interstate Commeree."

Such appropriations have beenupheld in the lower courts in the pastand the lower court so held in thisinstance but the city treasurer ap-'pealed and the Supreme court heldth8t all city appropriations, after thefirst quarter of the year, were invalid.Therefore it has been necessary tocarry on the gas rate Iitigation without compensation untii the city council could appopriate for its· expense,as it is now doing in the first quarterof the year.The next method of hampering thecity's fight was by an attack upon theemployment of special conusel. Thecorporation counsel has rendered anopinion that he alone is responsiblefor the city's litigation and the employment of special counsel is improper except by his appointment.This would limit the control of thecity's litigation by the city 'counciland it is my opinion that the corporation counsel is in error and that thecity council has supreme control overthe city's litigation and over the selection of attorneys to prosecute it.But the fact is that by raising such acontention another di1ficulty is placedin 'the way of the city's conduct ofthis case by an attack upon the authority of the city council and of the city'slawyer.

The Varstiy squad captured first in every event, losing threeseconds owing to the fact that CoachWhite had entered but one man.The relay team composed of Earle,Meine, Pavlicek, and O'Connor wonthe 160 yard relay in 1:22:2-6, missing the intercollegiate record by one.fifth second. The above time set anew state record and a new tank record. Redmon was apparently handicapped in the plunge for distance owing to the shallow tank, but succeed-ed in establishing a new -state andtank record at :24.Captain Pavlicek entered the classof record breakers when he set a newtank and state record for the 150 yardback stroke, covering the distance intwo minutes flat. Rubinkam tQokfist in the fancy diving and O'Connorand Meine finished one two in theI forty yard swim. The Cincinnati1 squad were weakened considerably bythe loss of Joe Morris, who was keptfrom the meet owing to an attack ofappendicitis. Morris was the individual star of the Ohio squad in the fortyand 100 yard swims but his presencecould not have altered the score bymore than ten points.STEDMAN LECTURES THURSDAYSocialist To Speak On "The ElficiencyOf Collectivism."Seymour Stedman will leetureThursday night at 7 :30 in the Harperassembly room on 4'The Efficiency ofCollectivism."
