A BOARD OF INQUIRY Our embattled mayor has become the local Eurypylus, but instead of setting 12 great tasks for one Her- cules he is setting one great task for 1. The cemmittee of 14 which will study the high school' problem is composed of representative citizens, some g0 representative that they have ideas of their own. There is the first citizen named in ‘ the printed list, for instance, former Magyor George A. Quigley. It was net so long since that Quigley was telling everybody that the entire new sehool program was costing too mueh money; that instead of con- structing a comparatively few large buildings there should be more of them of smaller dimensions situat- 4 in_on mare sites throughout. the city. But this idea, flung to the winds during a political upheaval proved of no avail and now most of the big mew school buildings are built. Quigley may still believe in smaller and more generally acces- sible - school buildings—including high schools. Anyway. he is an ac- tive observer of what is known as the school situation. The mayor is acting with. cautian. It anybody makes a mistake the committee will get a share of the blame; also, there will be a public forum, at which the north enders ‘will be present in goodly m{mben,, 1t there is no mistake made. and the | problem 18 solved with satisfaction for all, then the mayor will at least share the credit, if not lionize it. As for the Board of Education, it continues to meet. discuss, disagree, implore the mayor for action, and holds up the terrors of overcrowd- ing as the lash that should: bring resulta. When some of its members call at the city hall the only calm gentleman in the room is the mayor, who 18 not in too big of a hurry to | make a mistake. Throughout this melange of con- testing emotions only one thing seems certain: There will be increas- ing accommodations, either where the present building is located or in the north end. And when the addi- tion or the new building is complet- ed, citizeas will point with pride and remark, “Well, they got it anyhow. In time the committee the forum, and_the hullabaloo generally will be forgotten. About 40 vears from how a nesey reporter. hrowsing among vellowed newspaper files, will come upon the - current news accounts and write a special § day feature about it. If he he humorist his readers Wil get a laugh THUMB JUMPERS The police the other day made a commendable effort to stop the epi- demie of thumb jumpers in the city -—the - youths who their thumbs and then jump aboard an automobile if the owner permits Chiet Hart, sufferinz from official indignation, declated that the prac- tice muet stop: and he would see 1o it that the cope kept their eves open for the youths who would rather ride in_somebody’s car than walk. There being no law about it. all the cops could do would be to tell the youths to move on Since this ukase was made we have noted no marked decrease in the number of thumb jumpers. They confinue to infeet all parts of the city, particularly when no police- men are in sizht The tatuity of official meddhng in this business reminds us of the sug- gestions made some time that trucks cease 10 use the main stems through the city, but should use the 1 s6 traveled strects; that they should aveid the Conter like the plague. Truck drivers do not secm o have heard the sugzestion; -and even trucks doing work for the city are seen hurdling through the hub of the rity. HOOVER AND JOHNSON 8g Hoover and Johnson are heads done, | Hoover thus ehows himselt wiser than Hughes was in 1916. Had Hughes played Hoover with John- son when he visited California in that campaign year he would have been elected; and for all anybody knows, the course of history might have been changed in some import.’ ant particulare. = But the Californians don't agree on the main issues, it seems. John- son favors hot blasts against the power trust; he would include Boulder Dam talk in the campaign Hoover favors a soft pedal on the | So Hoover will | power trust issue | continue to ignore this important | public iseue, while Johnson will | smack the trust in his own speeches, | which will not be censored by | Hoover. | . Sénator Johnson, though | active in national polities !once was, remains a power in his | native srate. Tt so happens that Cali- i fornia is also Hoover's native state | California naturally is proud of its son, the presidential candi- | native date; and is not inclined to rate its not as as he other favorite son, the senator, too lightly, With these “mapping out the campaign,” other native soné must be vastly pleased. Let Al Smith carry little old New York: Hoover plus Johnson are cer- !tain to carry California. | !‘ HOOVER'S HEALTH |" It appears that a whispering cam- paign has had it that Herbert Hoover is not in the best of health: | that the eigencies of a strenuous | political campaign would |still further: that it elected, the | strains of being President would tell |even more. | The facts seem to be that Hoover two together, | but that 1t he watches his diet and {takes care to exercige sufficiently he [ will be reasonably O K. |. Thus the Republican campaign ;commmee has spiked the whisper- |ing campaign. The admission that |the candidate needs to watch his | diet and to exercise indicates he is }about in the same fix as most other | men past 40 and fairly prosperous. | Our’bet is that Hoover has been !riding around in an automobile too | much; that his appetite for three | squares (plus) a day is putting too much flesh where nothing but hard muscles ought to be. MUTILATION OF TREES | A rather unique suit at law con- | fronts the city. For the first time, €0 i far as we are aware, the city is be- |ing held acountable for the mutila- | tion of trees upon the property of a citizen. that the ity deliberately mutilated [trees on his property while he was away, then the city is entitled to | pay damages. No false civic pride | should stand in the way of justice. If the city erred. it should be forced |to pay. There has been altogether too | much cutting of trees in the city an; yway. | W L PRIVATE R. R. CARS | That was a rather amazing ex- posure of how the private cars of | railroad officials are used to enter- |tain relatives- and friends on othey (lines. The Interstate Commerce | Commission, ever watchful for ways jto improve the status of the rail- [roads, now has some information on | which to base a few ore orders to ‘the lines. Being a railroad ident (leads to cne joit after another. The e time’ may soon be here when rail- road officials will have to pay to travel over the lines of other rail- road presidents. If that comes about [then railroad workers, who can get passcs over other lines also when they go away on vacation, will dis- [like the I C. C. exceedingly. FRENCH DIVORCES The fashionable pastime of ac- | quiring a divorce in Paris, rather [than in Reno, seems destined to be ade more difficult in the future.

' RAIDS AND MORE RAIDS | The rad of a flock of night clubs !in New York last month might hace ,led the uneophisticated to believe together over the political situation. jnw. the ordeal wauld be too much . injure it | actually is not in the best of health. | If jt is true, as the citizen claims, | to | for the clubs and they would be sealed up . until the courts got! through with their cases. Comparison of the names of the clubs raided at that time with the names of those raided and padlock- ed last week reveals a remarkable duplication of appellations. It appears from this that a raid does not mean.so much. The clubs | continue eperating after the enforce- | ment agents have left. 'As one pro- prietor stated, if the bar s “nailed up” another bar is started. Meanwhile 22,000 speakeastes in |New York continue to thrive. These | are not raided, it eeems, because there are not enough enforcement | agents to make a dent in the busi- | ness. In the words of one foreign visitor, when doss prohibition start? INVESTIGATING THE ARCTIC TRIP Mussolini seems to have been un- !necessarily €evere in referring to an !investigation of the Nobile expedi- tion elsewhere than in Italy. The only other ~investigation is that of Sweden When Captain Zappi |was quoted as saying the Italians had dug a grave in the ice for Dr. Malmgren and left him to die alone Sweden held up her hand in horror. | Captain Zappl only yesterday was | again referred to in a dispatch from |the Russian ice breaker Krassin, tthls time that he came aboard the | ship | clothes. i Dr. Malmgren was a Swede, and wearing Dr. Malmgren's veden is completely justified in | | making an investigation of how a' distinguished son came to his death. | | HEARING FROM THE FACTIONS Human nature being constituted as it is, no political party is complete | without factions. Members of fac- | | tions are afflicted with the desire to bolt. They receive more new: | paper attention than their import- ance would warrant were it not m»i the possibility that each faction | | might be the germ of a political | | movement. Some of the factions would start third parties. But third. parties are | unable to get far in this country on account of the electoral college. sy tem A third party may get 5,000,000 | | votes but they probably would be so | ecattered throughout the country | that only one or two states would vield their electoral electoral college. | Senator Norris of Nebraska is one of the few men in public life who | favors a constitutional amendment | doing away with the electoral col- | lege. But this is an age when there is little sentiment left for constitu- | | tional amendments; the average per- | | son seems to think there are amend- | ments enough, with one too many. It would require several hundreds of thousands of dollars to get names of electors on the ‘ballots alone; and even then, only one or two states would permit the name of the third | party’s actual candidate to appear. We vote for the electors, y'under- |stand, not for the candidate; the \electore then ‘are supposed to cast |their votes for the candidate, doing |this in January at a electoral meet- jmg held in Washington. It means a !free trip to Washington and return {for the electors ‘from all over the [Lnion. It is an outworn and ridiculous system: yet we are €0 progressive in some things that there is no likeli- | hood of a change in this generation | or two or three others, | votes in the | THEY KNOW THE NEEDS | Somebody in the Common Countil | se to remark recently that money | | had been spent in the purchase of a | phonograph for the Lincoln echool.

A In some states they are elect- ed by the voters of their political party in a primary election, and in other states they are chosen by dis- trict and state conventions of their parties Q. What natienality was Paul, the apostle? A. He was a free born citizen of the Roman Empire (Acts 22:23). Q. Can a boy who has only the first name of his father be termed “Junior"? A. To be termed “Junior” a boy should have the exact full name of his father. Q. What is the origin of the term Potter's ield? A. The name comes from the Bible, Matthew seventh verse of the twenty-seventh chapte which reads: “And they took counsel and bought with team the potter's fleld, to ‘bury strangers in". The verse refers to what was done with the thirty pieces of silver which Judas received as the price of his betrayal of Jesus; Judas in remorse having cast the pieces of silver at the feet of the chief priests and elders who 'had sent Jesus to Pilate for trial, saying that he had betrayed inno- cent blood. The chief priests could not put the money into the treasury because it was the price of blood. Q. 1Is the prefix “Mac" Scotch or Irish? A. Scotch names are either with an Mc or Mac, usually, however, the latter. spelled but Irish names use the Mc. Both mean “son of”. Q. If the wings of locusts have “W" on them is it a sign of coming war? A. That is sheer superstition. Q. Why is the term lobbyist used derogatively? A. The term is applied to one who seeks to influence legislation. In their character lobbyists range all the way from representatives of Chambers of Commerce, farmers’ associations and labor unions, who appear before committees and but- to persons who employ bribery and pressure as a means to achieve their ends. Some lobbying is legitimate. Some is not. The use of money in bribing legis- lators has greatly declined to- gether with other crude measures of using influence. A, In 1924 he carried six coun- ties and in 1926 he carried nine. There are 63 counties in the state. Q. What was the longest game ever played in either of the two major baseball leagues? A. The longest was played at Braves Field May 1, 1920, between Boston and Brooklyn of the National league. The game lasted 26 'in- nings and -ended in a tie with each team having a single run. Leon Cadore pitched the entire game for Brooklyn and Joe Oeschger pitched the entire game for Boston. lyn's run came in the fifth inning and Boston's in the sixth. Boston made 15 hits and 2 errors and Brooklyn 9 hits and 2 errors. The time of the game was 3 hours and 50 minutes. Q. Can a man split his ballot in & primary or a general election? A. In primaries one must de- clare his party and will receive a ballot only of that party and may vote his choiee of the rival ean- didates for the party nomination. In the election he may vote for any candidate of any party he chooses, spltting his ticket, if he so desires, or voting for the opposite party en- tire or for his own party entire. Q. Who published the book “The President's Daughter”? A. The Elizabeth Ann Guild, 20 West 46th street, New York city. Q. What did it cost to broadcast the proceedings of the two political conventions? A. The approximate cost has been placed at $1.00 per second, about $180,000 for the two conven- tions. Q Do transpire and perspire have the same meaning? A. As applied to the bodily fune- tion of sweating they mean about the same. Q. How does the Jewish popu- lation of the United States compare with the negro population? A. The Jewish pepulation is es- timated at 3,600,000; the negro population according to the last census was 10,463,131, 25 Years Ago Today The pastors of all lecal churches have been added to the Old Home Weck committee. iy Charles H.
