Just one blamed thing aster another happens to iL Now Dr. Richard A. Poole has been thrown out by thè board of health as sursrintendent. No explanation was given by thè board, but it was explained by thè doctor himself that his dismissal was due to friction with other hospital officiala. s Dr. Poole was appointed at thè beginning of thè Shank administration, presumably through thè personal efforts of thè mavor. It la certain that not all members of thè board favored his appointment. The Jewett administration also had difficulties with thè hospital. Atone time they became so numerous that Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretar}- of thè board of health, in and ran thè Institutlon himself, in addition to his numerous other dutles. What will be next? Reckless Driving . RECKLESS driver is a potential murderer. It is not thè driver’s fault that his carelessness sometimes does not result in death. The speeder whose automobile does not take a lise is Just as guilty as thè one whose ear happens to klll some one. t If thè speeder were handled by thè courts and thè police with this idea in mind, he would not long continue to be a menaee. All thè idiota wbo know no better than to drive at a reckless rate of speed would be loeked up and sane drivers could drive in peace, while thè pedestrian would be assured of comparative safety. : It may seem hard to automobile drivers who are being loeked in jail in default of bone} to be deprived of their liberty, but when they see a man such as Arthur Mitchell, whose wife was killed by a speediug driver, break down in tears before them, they sbould begin to realize thè enormity of thè possibilities in their actions. Your Income in 1775 UMMAGING through old documents. W. E. Watson L\ finds a deed tkfted 1775, selling 100 acres of Virginia land for $1.25. The owner who sold was Warner Washington, cousin of George. ’ With prices like that. think what you could have done in 1775 with your present income. Try to b'uy good land today at a cent and a quarter an acre. There’s unquestionably something to thè single taxers' claim that nearly all thè wealth we produce by our labors eventually is absorbed in rising land values. The land hasn’t changed. The value has.

Politics Plays Prime Part in Lise of Harry Daugherty

** KEA Service f In boyhood, a country youth helping to support a widowed mother. *ln manhood, closest friend and * qounselor of America’s executive and a keen student of politics. Such is thè story of Attorney Qeneral Harry M. Daugherty. In Daugherty’s caieer, politics have played a prime part. But he onlji, one elective office, as legislator from an Ohio county in 1889. 1 In 18S8 he unsuccessfully sought tjie Republican congressional nomiQatlon from hls Ohio dlstriet. In 1899 thè Hanna group defeated his boom for Governor. Myron T. Herrick defeated him in 1906 for thè aenatorlal nomination in Ohio. Despite his defeats, Daugherty ig considered thè best posted man in thè Harding Cabinet on American gp litica. Exonerated of Charges * The legislative session Daugherty àttended was followed by charges of brlbery in connection with thè vote for John Sherman, candidate for United States Senator. Daugherty's name was mentloned in connection with thè charges, but he was exànerated in 1892. That year Daugherty moved to (Jolumbus, where he practiced law and took a prominent part in State politics. He was Republican State centrai corri mi t tee chaimian in IS9B. Politics Oecupy Time ' Politics largely occupied Daughbrty’s attention. He was' on thè Taft s tee ring committee at thè 8808 Republican national convention. 'f An jiCf. for which his politicai opponedts- berate him is his partici pation In retting commutation of thè

tering campaign promises, these popular phrases have been forgotten by politicians in power. * t This movement in Washington appears to have a different beginning. La Follette and bis associaf.es foregathered not before election when they needed voteß. but aster one, in which they were overwhelmingly victorious. They founded not a new party, but merely a new bloc in Congress. Old hands at thè legislative game, they propose to fight reaction on its ora ground. With their bloc, they can bore from within thè old parties. If success attenda their efforts in thè measure of that of thè farai bloc, they may achieve in months what it ordinarily takes years for a new politicai party to accomplish. In a Congress whicli has milled around indeflnitely for more than two years, it may be that aggressive leadership has come at last in thè forra of a peoples bloc, organized for thè purpose of chainpionlng thè cause of thè great unorganized majority of American citizens. ' Permit Usto Say Clemenceau eats so many eggs chickens will be glad when he goes bome. Winter wouldn’t be so bad If it weren’t for thè cold weather. Radio amateurs are beating all records, including phonograph records. European eabinets resign before we hear about them having thè Job. Our treasury savß gold eolns make fine gifts.

Those attending th© closed progressive conference at thè capitai last Frlday said emphatically that nothing was discussed that could by any stretch of thè imaginatlon be considered revolutionary. Thls was thè observation made by Senator Capper of Kansas, who is not closely afflllated with thè La Folletto group. but who was lnvited to attend thè meeting as a progressive of thè milder type. Officials of thè American Federation of Labor. in view of that organiza.tion s flght against thè Russian soviets, were particularly quick to lnsist that thè progressive bloc to which they have given their support la actually an antidote to Bolshevist propaganda. “I have had much to do with watching, compiling and checking Information conceming thè activities of thè communists in thè United States," declared Chester M.

Mantis J., decided to enter thè reai estate business together. One day they went out to Shaker Heights, a suburb of Cleveland, then a thinly wooded expanse of vacant land formerly occupted by a colony of Shakjers. “We became convinced that it could be made into a fine residence section,” Van Sweringen tells. In recent testimony before thè Interstate Commerce Commisslon Van Sweringen told hom thè union station Project grew out of that. What Van Sweringen needed was capitai. Financiers told him thè land was too far from thè city and besidea that there were no Street car linea. He persuaded thè Cleveland tracunion station to extend a line into thè northem part of Shaker Heights. But thè company refused to go into thè southern part. So Van Sweringen decided to build his own rapici transit line. He flgured he might save time and money by acquiring thè use of a railroad right of way into thè city. The Nickel Piate seemed thè best, but its management wouldn’t make terms. So Van Sweringen purchased control of thè road and its 518 miles of track at a cost of $8.500.000.
