We have had teo much of one man gov- ernment and the peoplé felt it. Wise counsel is eminently proper President Harding will seek it. If, however, in his willingness to hear he gives too much weight to the opinions of a few, strong men, it is believed that his administration will not rise above the level popularly accorded that of President Taft. whom it better for former THE RETURN OF DEBS.

Simons and P. S. McMahon are not necessarily leaders of men. They do not attract a large number of fol- They are exponents of d feeling of distrust that is running through the electorate, and in giving a vent to that feeling have been successful in a measure. The feeling is not a desire for low taxes pure and simple, we believe that the people know better than that, it is a desire to remonstrate against the acions of the city government. The public feels that it has been slighted, that is what is the matter with it, deep down underneath. It feels that it is a part owner of a corporation in the management of which it has had no voice. Consequently it over-exer- ises its rights in curbing that man- agement; and, in doing so, has harmed itself to some &gtent.

The sum of over $600,000 was raised for the hospital lately. Probably a third of ‘this came out of the pockets of the shophand and the laborer. Why was it obtained?
