MAYOR FRANTz AsP|REs
To A THIRD TERM

In Massillon political circles, 1t is
understood that Mayor Charles l..
Frants, of that city, will subject his
name to the decision of the Democrat
ic primaries, for candidacy for third
term of Office In an interview Satur-
day night, he intimated as much, say
ing that he was considering the advis-
ability of entering the race for the
mayoralty.
Already much interest is being
manifested in the outcome of the mu-
nicipal election, in that city. On the
Democratic side, it is believed that
there will be several strong aspirants
to the candidacy for mayor, but it is
generally conceded that Frantz has
the call on the nomination.
On the Republican side. the race for
the nomination at the spring primar-
les will be equally as interesting. 1t
is predicted that numerous politicians
of that city will submit their names.
Probably the strongest man who has
announced himself SO far is Arthur N.
Haley, now justice of the peace.
One lone jag was picked up by Of
ficer Brownsberger Saturday. He was
locked up to await hearing before
the mayor today.

Presently the door pushed open, and

He handed note to Mr.. Pipes. Pipes
read it.

Pipes. "Riley says you're good man

around to Congdon's, where we've got
a contract, and lift helper. Go back
and find the leak. Then report to me.
Don't hurry too much"
The young man departed, returning

Nothing doing, Mr.. Pipes" he said.
"The tenant overhead spilled some wa.

under the sink and followed the pipe
line TO the floor below. That was ALL"
Pipes kept on making out bills. 4

nnizzes and demonstrations, and yet,
believe one hour spent in listening to
a master like Gross, who stimulates
the Students ambition and impressed
his own personality upon him, was
worth more than six hours in reclta-
tions after the manner of a higa
school.
While / believe 1t was necessary to
raise the standard of medical educa-
ton in this country, l do not believe 1t
was wise to do it SO rapidly and with
the avowed purpose of killing dozens
Of colleges, and destroying millions OF
dollars worth of property legitimate
ly acquired under the laws of the
states.
Preliminary requirements should
have been raised gradually to the re-
ouirement of high school diploma.
For the reason that all can obtain a
free high school education, makes 1t
desirable that an entrance require
ment. Of a high school diploma and
/ four courses of lectures of nine
mon. as each, should always remain
the minimum standard for the degree
of Doctor of Medicine in this country
i The states have no right to demand q
! requirement above their own standard
Higa grade colleges and universities
can and many of them should require
a college degree.
1t is absurd to expect young MAT
to spend $4,000 in loss of time and
none ypaid out, in getting medica
education and then at the age of TWEEN
weight years to locate in a commun
ity. where no matter how competent
and satisfactory he may be, he car
never expect to mike more than from
/ 100000 to 100000 per year. Men arr
not created with equal ability, o.
adaptability, and no amount of educa
ton can make them equally competen
as practitioners Young men are &c

j and graduates in medicine are decreas

i they will decrease more rapidly thai
