Real Need Is For Real Homes, Not Apartments Ohio State Journal In helping solve the housing problem of the cities th apartment house meets a very real demand. There is need for such houses with sufficient rooms to care for families. There is a place for others with smaller quarterg where bachelor apartments may be maintained. It Is well for cities , to have apartment houses in such number as to help meet the demand for quarters from those who prefer to live in rooms without the advantag eof yard and garden. But It. in far better for a city to have a hundred new separate homes erected than to have a hundred-family apartment house constructed. The ! proper and natural way of liTUnj; is ! for one family to have a house, with the little grass plot in the yard, a bit a garden in the back part of the lot, with the freedom and conveniences and privacy that separate homes provide. Columbus has a housing demand now that calls for some more apartment houses, those with proper conveniences and a. rental not too great. But it has a greater need for more sepai-ate homes. There are hundreds of vacant lots, In every section of the city. Homes should be built on these lots, the cost of the building being suited to the neighborhood. There is a great need for the homes that will care for small families, homes within the purchasing power of the man of limited means, who has saved some money, is well employed and wants to pay out for his home during the coming years. Every man is a better citizen when he becomes a home owner. THE WORLD'S MINE WORKERS Over 6,000,000 persons were engaged in mining throughout the world during 1909.

The result would be the same everywhere. Not a monarch in Europe today could have gained his throne in fair competition. Nature is a democrat. Even John Quincy Adams did not win the race, but was outrun at the polls by Andrew Jackson, the son of an immigrant. In bitter disappointment that he should not have been elected by the people, rather than by Congress, he declared that he would ; refuse the office if he could only i bring about a new election. Surely no other President ever stepped into the White House with so little gladness In his heart. Political parties having disappeared in 1824, four men entered the contest and deadlocked the electoral college, which left the House of Representatives to choose from among the three highest candidates.

MORGAN PARTISAN PRESIDENT WIFE OF JOHN QUINCY ADAMS 1825 John Quincy Adams Inaugurated Sixth President, aged 57. the fourth man Henry Clay who aided in the election of Adams and who received from the new President the appointment of state. Jackson denounced that transaction as a "bargain and sale." John Randolph poured out his scorn upon "the coalition of Blifil and Black George," the combination of "the Puritan with the blackleg". Notwithstanding Adams' stern uprightness was incapable of such a trade, the charge wore the ugly appearance of truth and long was believed by many. The career of John Quincy Adams would be impossible in this day of organized politics. Without a " party, without a faction, without an organized following, without a friend, this hermit among statesmen received the highest diplomatic posts, was called to thf hpfd of a cabinet, won the Become Slender Reduce vour weight 10 to 60 lot., or more. under S100 GUARANTEE by nsln OIL OF KOKtlN. ijiiowius us; ouecuoas. boia W A.

presidency and held a seat in Congress 16 years. The only non-partisan Administration the country ever has bad was not a shining example of success. Uncompromising, alone, John Quincy stalked his solitary way, never once turning to the right or to the left from the straight and narrow path of independence. With no sense of humor to relieve his sense of self-righteousness, to light up his view of his fellows or to thaw his own icy virtues, it was impossible for his supporters to feel any enthusiasm for him, as Daniel Webster's brother Ezekiel said, "unless we disembowel ourselves like a trussed turkey of all that Is human nature within us." A rule unto himself in all things, John Quincy was defiant even of the conventions of dress. Notwithstand ing he grew up in the courts of Europe, he was the most shabbily dressed man who has sat in the Presi dential chair. It is a tradition at Washington that he wore the same hat 10 years. "This the President of the United States!" was the Involuntary exclamation of a stranger who called on him at Quincy in vacation time and found him in a short jacket, striped jeans trousers and an old straw hat. John Quincy surely led the simple life in the White House. Getting up at 5, he built his fire, read his daily portion of the Bible and while the Government clerks still slept, he took his walk or swim. One morning, as he was enjoying himself in the waters of the Potomac, somebody stole his clothes from the bank. What must have been the surprise of a passing boy when a short, fat, bald-headed man, who was pacing the shore in a state of nature, shouted at him to run up to the White House and ask Mrs. Adams for a suit of clothes for the President. One other innocent diversion brought trouble upon John Quincy. Fond of playing billiards with his son and secretary, he put a billiard table in the White House for which the puritanical President was denounced as a gambler. Having also furnished the east room, the Jacksonians held him up as a spendthrift, and the credulous folks out on the frontier were made to believe that this most ascetic man was squandering their money in a life of regal splendor. When he came up for re-election he was easily defeated by Jackson, and he remain the worst beaten President until Mr. Taft touched a new lowwater mark more than 80 years afterward. Poor, discredited before the country and ostracised at home, he found himself turned out of the pub lic service in which he had spent his life. Wrapping himself in his melancholy, he left Washington, as he said, "to go into the deepest retirement and withdraw from all connection with public affairs." Yet there stretched unseen before this man of 62 the most useful and brilliant years of his career. LEADERSHIP QUALIFICATION FOR NEW GIRLS' CLUB A Senior Girls' Leadership club Is being formed at the high school. This club will be to the girls what the "R" is to the boys, only membership will be designated by the faculty. Only girls whose leadership and scholarship are recommended will be members. Each teacher has been asked to submit a list of 15 girls they think qualified for the club. Later a faculty committee will pick the club members. Although late In the year, the club will become actively organized and at the close of the school term, girls in the Junior class will be elected. The class will probably be confined to about 15 girls. Government is our greatest worldly possession, because without It the things that enrich and ennoble life could not be.

Director Roland Nusbaum is anxious to get in touch with any ex-service man who plays a musical instrument. Dry" Fight Began in 1808 (Detroit Journal) There is interest tinged with melancholy or with satisfaction, according to one's sentiments in recalling the outstanding dates which mark the calendar of liquor's decline and extinction. A legislative proposal for outlawry of distilling was actually made during the period of the American revolution, but the beginning of the prohibition movement is generally held to have been in 1808; the demand did not become wide-spread, however. until about 70 years ago, and the first i convention of the Prohibition party was hpld in lSfif).
