MILWAUKEE. 



Flow^crs for Councilmen. 



At the iiistallatiou of the newly elected 

 aldermen April 19 a great many flowers 

 were used. The desks of nearly all the 

 aldermen, except a few socialists, re- 

 ceived many designs, baskets, horseshoes 

 and miscellaneous designs. In speaking 

 of the flowers the leader of the social- 

 ists said; 



I do not believe that the practice is con- 

 ducive to the t>ost government of a city. It 

 is 4rue that some of the aldermen need flowers 

 to hide their reputations and diamonds to shine 

 for them, but we helteve that the practice 

 should be discontinued. It makes the council 

 chamber look too much like a graveyard. 



In commenting editorially on this one 



of the local papers said in part : 



It is not difficult to believe that to the gen- 

 tleman, flowers would suggest nothing but grave- 

 yards, but if there is any place in this world 

 where flowers are inappropriate, where they are 

 not conducive of good government, good feel- 

 ing, good fellowship, human kindness, and every- 

 thing else that is good, that place ought to 

 be closed by the police and kept permanently 

 closed. There are people to whom flowers do 

 not appeal. There are men and women who 

 have little appreciation for the beautiful, either 

 in nature or art; but heaven forefend that 

 they should ever be placed in positions of com- 

 mand where they can make their tastes a rule 

 of life for their fellowmen. The practice 

 of presenting flowers to newly elected and In- 

 stalled servants of the public is a graceful 

 custom that ought to be encouraged, not 

 frowned upon. It may mean nothing more 

 than a token of friendship and esteem, but 

 friendship and esteem are something, even if 

 • the giver Is not worthy to sit in the seats 

 of the godly.
