OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS | [Ee— POLITICAL POT STARTS TO SIMMER The city political pot is simmering. When the gas is turned on full the boiling will start. George Stein ‘will again ask per- mission to occupy the first door to the left 'as you enter the City Hall. George has graced the office of city clerk with much dig- nity and precision, and will undoubtedly be allowed to retain ypo were guests at the dinner were: | € the key to the door. “Let.George do it” seems to be a popular slogan in City Hall matters and George Rhea will ask the privi lege of acting as custodjan of the city finances for another year. George’s custodianship’ of the dimes and nickels seems to be perfectly satisfacfory. to-everybody. None have ever been lost and not likely will be as long as George has anything to do with them. . J. P. Lahr will not be a candidate for the office of assessor this year, so he states, but this does not mean that Joe will not be in the field. Many of his friends are prevailing upon him to enter the field for alderman-at-large, and it is quite possible that he will acquiesce to the demands of his friends. Mr. Lahr has amply demonstrated in the past many times that he is an adept at “watching things,” and if the city really wants things watched, Mr. Lahr is the man for the job. N. E. Given’s term on the Park Board expires, but we un- derstand it will not be necessary to look around for another to 1ill the position, as Mr. Given’s friends expect to be able to per- suade him to stand for re-election. His interest in park mat- ters as demonstrated in the past warrants support for his re- election. F Whether it is to be *“aldermen” or “alderwomen” to re- place the present retiring aldermen is not yet evident. Rumors are -that women candidates will be presented in each ward to fill the vacancies made by retiring aldermen., F The offices of mayor and assessor do not seem to be very eagerly sought for just yet. Several names have been men- tioned for both offices, some of them good ones, but the elim- imation process does not seem to have gone far on these offices. : o—— EDUCATION NEEDED g A compilation of arrests for the making of illicit liquor in Cleveland for the past year, listed by nativity, shows that 450 of the 584 offenders were men and women from Central Eu-: rope. ) Judging from the newspaper accounts of similar arrests in other cities this proportion would probably hold good throughout the nation. The two Cleveland. judges who handled these cases are agreed that the chief cause for this preponderance of aliens in this class of offenders is their mis- conception of American liberty. They are firm believers in the doctrine of so-called “personal liberty.” Age-long racidl cus- tom and inherited alcoholic appetite protest against an Ameri-; can law that prohibits the manufacture and sale of intoxicants which to them seem as essential to life as food. These judges further say that the crying need in coping with the situation is education. Educational activities, the es- tablishment of community houses, instruction in American gov- ernment, must become a part of the campaign of law enforce- ment in dealing with these topics.—American Issue.
