day to champion the cause of Miss Belle
Squire, who has refused to pay her
personal property tax without repre-

lated resolutions for further action.
Two questions are to be put before
the meeting arranged for Saturday. If
the county collector gives no further
attention to the failure of Miss Squire
TO pay her taxes, we'll and good. Chica-
go women then will have n perfect right
to do likewise and when appealed to
for payment, can cite the fact that Miss
Squire has not been forced to pay
and use that as an excuse to continue
the policy adopted
On the other hand. If tax collectors
attempt to levy on property owned by
Miss Squire 1t Will be urged that the
new organization at once ask an In

confiscating her property.

TaketF1e Post-Office
Out of Politics

In attempting to charge up the deficit in his
Department against the magazines the Postmaster
General has done the country genuine, even if an
unintentional, service He has drawn attention to
the necessity for thorough reorganization Of the
Postal Department. He has emphasized the i'm
portance of taking the Post-Ofice out of politics
for all time.
The Fifty-ninth Congress authorized an inves-
tigaton of postal affairs, and joint commission,
headed by Senator Penrose and Representative
Overstreet, made thorough investigation of the
whole subject AS result, the Overstreet bill,
which contains many excellent recommendations,
was presented. 1t is not from guesswork that we
have concluded that the Department is in need of
radical reorganization, but from the official reports
of this Joint Congressional Postal Commission
and of the disinterested accountants hired by to
investigate the business methods of the Depart

ing that the findings and criticisms are not ours,
but those of a Congressional Commission and its

VICTIM OF APHASIA
WANDERS FAR AWAY
Mourned az Dead, He returns After
Being Found on an Island In
tho Pacific.

NEW YORK, June 30.-Joe Rey-
nolds. for nearly four years looked
upon as dead, returned to Greenwich,
Conn, a few days ago, startling his
mother and friends, who had given up
hope of ever seeing him again. Rey-
nolds returned with a story of adven-
ture and a trip around the world, a
part of the time when he did not
know his name or where he had come
from.
At eighteen the young man decided
to see the world, and left Greenwich.
That was the last Heard or seen OF
him until he walked into No. 7S Green
wich-ave., where his mother is living
with her friend. Mrs. G. L. Gilman.
Reynolds says that when he left
home for a while he confined himself
to travelling about the United States,
and then desired to go abroad. 1t
was while he was on his way to China
that an accident Of some kind hap
pened to him. What it was he doeos
not remember, and what he knows he
knows only from what he has been
told.
From some time on the ship until
he came to himself In Australia his
mind was a blank. In Australia be
learned that he had been brought
there by an Englishman named Roper.
Roper according to Reynolds, land
ed at one of the Gilbert Islands, in
the Southern Pacific, and was told by
the natives that there was another
white man on the island. This was
Reynolds. He had been picked up on
the beach dazed, with badly battered
head and bullet wound In his leg.
Roper nursed him back TO life and
took him to Australia His mind was
blank as to his past. and his case
was diagnosed as aphasia. When
found he had letter for $500 on the
Bank Of Hong Kong. This money, he
says, was used to obtain medical aid
| for him.
One day after months, his memory
came back to him, and he realized
who he was and where he lived. and
knew everything except how he came
to be injured and the incidents up to
the time he had recovered his reason.
His health restored, he returned to
America.
