Sample of Democratic Efficiency. -4'iZ - Washington, Jan. 21. —Rumor about the senate chamber has it that the president has alreay taken affirmitive steps looking -to the early withdrawal of the name of nt least one of the members of the board; five nominations for which were sent to .the senate on Jan. 2nd. The mam in question is John A. Wonald, of New York City. The act giving th’e president authority to appoint the shipping board was approved Sept. 7, 1916, and for almost four months the country has been led to,believe that Mr. Wilson was carefully scrutinizing reports on the ability, experience and integrity-of the many prominent shipping men whose names were presented to him for .appointment. But that he really gave little thought to the matter is the most charitable view one can take of his action in regard to Mr. Donald. He is a native of Scotland, president of a British steamship line, employs only Chinamen in his crews, and controls a paint company that up to a idhort time ago had a monopoly of a certain kind of paint sold to the navy department, changing therefor twice as much as the price, since obtained through competition. A man more unfit for the United States Shipping Board could scarcely be found. \ * Conrad Kellner, of the firm of Kellner & Callahan, accompanied T. G. Wynegar, the John Deere salesman, to Moline, 111., Monday. Kellner & Callahan sell a very large volume of Deere goods and Mr, Kellner will be the guest of the Deere people at Moline and will be shown through their large factories at that place, Mrs. J. E. Stephenson, of Chicago, who attended the wedding of her niece, Miss Naomi Gregg, at Greencastle, Saturday, stopped, off here Monday afternoon for a visit with her friend, Dr. Rose Remmek. ; Lyceum Dates.
