MARVEL IN GATHERING NEWS
Ordinary Man Cannot Appreciate
What the Production Of Great
Journal Involves.

The ordinary reader. as he opens his
daily journal, is content with q vague
feeling that it somehow edits and com
poses itself: he seldom reflects upon
the immense amount OF organization,
upon the care In the selection OF news.
and even upon the mechanical skill in
adjustment SO that every column may
be exactly filled. which are required
for even the most normal issue. He
seldom reflects upon the speed with
which 1t all has to be done. That a
great paper should appear morning
after morning generally correct In Its
news. readable and sound In its liter
ary matter. accurate in its printing.
that it should be distributed all over
tn country and the world at the right
moment, is none the less . marvel
because 1t has happened 50 often that
people have ceased to look upon 1t
with surprise.

The municipal election that
was held last Tuesday passed on
pleasantly but very actively. a
much larger vote was polled than
was expected. due to the continu-
ous exertions of the candidates
and their friends. When the polls
closed and the count was conf
plete it showed that Mr.. Geo. h.
McClrlland had been elected
mavor on the Citizens ticket by a
handsome majority OF 25S the
largest popular majority ever CIV
en- auy candidate for this or any
CITY position. 1t is fitting testi-
monial to his popularity n this
community. AS mayor he Will
give his best energies TO give the
city d clean, economical and Sue
cessful business administration.
1t will be his special pride to fos-
ter and enhance the very best IN
terests oil the city in thorough
and systematic manner. The Clti-
zens ticket also came out VICTOR
ious by eletting seven out OF ten
of the Aldermen. In the second
ward there was tie between Lynn
and Arnold, each receiving 50
votes. The election was not OF ly
an emphatic choice OF these nomi-
nees but was a strong endorse
ment of the platform on which
they made the campaign. 1t was
terse practical and complete. 1t Is
now up to these officers elect to
carry out its provisions without
anv evasion. In addition to their
personal popularity the voters LAID
particular stress on the platform,
believing that its enforcement
would redown to the very best IN
terest OF the city. They Will ex-
pect the officers and Aldermen to
carry il ont in every detail and
nothing short of this will be sat,s-
factory and it will be done. With
a clear working ma jority on the
Board OF Aldermen and with an
executive in complete harmony
with the planks of the platform
there can be no excuse tor moi
giving the city the promised clean
and considerate and efficient ad
minis,ration that is enunCiated in
their declaration of principles and
for which the voters took thell
word and promise. By concer'
of effort and harmony OF actor
along the promised lines, otf'cia

VICTIM OF SEPTIC MENINGITIS
SLOWLY DYING At ct.
THOMAS HOSPITAL
DEATH MAY OCCUR
At ALMOST ANY TIME.
Thought Al Noon Hour That She
Could Not Live Thru the Rest Of
the. Day-Lats Thursday She Ap-
peared to Rouse 4 Trifis, But Did
Not Regain consciousness.

Early this afternoon, Mrs. Joseph E.
Winchei, who was found unconscious in
her home, 511 South Third street, We'd
nesday forenoon, was slowly sinking at
st. Thomas hospital. Her death was
expected at any time, and 1t was
thought that she could not live turnout
the rest Of the day
This forenoon Mrs. Winchers tenn
perature had dropped to 104, but her
pulse had gone. up to 120. For little
while during the middle Of the forenoon
she appeared to rouse little, ana
seemed to indicate that she desired to
speak, but.she did not regain conscious
ness.
Being Poisoned to Death.
She has continued unconscious since
SIC was found lying on the floor OF her
home by her husband. and the physician
is positive that she is being slowly
poisoned to death by toxin accom-
panying the meningitis, producing
septic meningitis. The poison has pene-
trated the brain. The spasmodic con-
dition Of rightly at times, and at other
times producing twitching OF parts OF
the body continued all thru Thursday
The case is in many respects an un-
usual one, and treatment has been
made much more difficult because Mrs.
Winchel has been unconscious all OF the
time. Every effort has been made to
save her life. but 1t was realized from
the first that her condition was indeed
dangerous.

What
Line Busy
Means

It is easier for an operator to establish connec-
ton than reply Line busy" Recollection Of this
simple fact may perhaps smooth out the asperities
Of state Of mind evoked by hasty conclusion that
the operator simply is Sinking Follow call into the
exchange for example: YOU ask for certain number
the operator Immediately informs you the line is busy
How does she know? Simply by little admonit6ry
click in the receiver when she tried to plug in
the line asked for She cannot tell who is talking
the lne how long it has been in use, how long It i
likely to be busy" All the information she possesses
is clck. but it is sufficient to advise her that
one Of the other operators in the exchange had
prior call from to that number Had the line been
clear the effort to complete the connection would
have been freater than that required to get the
click hence, task Of informing caller that the line
is busy is Just much extra labor-n fact it invol
ves double burden. the subscriber will usual r..
peat the call until he is able transact his business
Obviously therefore the desire Of the operator to
establish the connection when it s first called for.
She had no motive in doing otherwise.

National Prohibition the Logica
Goal.


Goal.
At the beginning OF the reform
movement, when an earnest minister
suggested some improvement in the
drinking customs, a leading paper
said, "None but an insane person
could advocate such a cause" Those
were the days when liquor reigned
supreme.
Then came the moderate pledge
against wine aud beer, not more than
a glass at a sitting, not more than a
pint day. A total abstinence
pledge was considered absurd, there
was no sense in going so far. What
would those old folks thibk IL they
could today see the vast army OF total
abstainers? What would they think
Ct that decision Of the United States
Supreme Court that "there is no in
herent right In citizen to sell !ntox.
icating drink, and that the business
IS attended with danger to the COM
munity"? What would they think Of
the authoritative statements of our
great doctors that the value Of alco-
