HIGH TIME FOR NEW
DEAL, SAYS LACHMUN)
Former Mayor Says Executive Has Too
Little Power Under Present Charter
Of Salem.

That the mayors Of Salem have not
been accorded the privilege Of swelling
up over the glory Of being "chief mag.
istrate" Of the city. much less being
paid for their work is the opinion Of
Louis Lachmund, the well.known OK.
mayor, and he believes that It Is now
high time for the people Of Salem to
get busy and amend tho charter in such
a manner that the mayor will be given
more power not glory, and place him
on a salary that will suffice.
Mr.. Lachmund, speaking from the
standpoint Of taxpayer, and an inter.
ested citizen, said today;
Mayor Powerless.
"The mayor OF Salem 10 merely a
figurehead in the council. Under the
present form Of tho city charter, the
mayor has no right to even leave his
chair and take the floor on any subject
that comes up and argue. He is simply
secretary Of the meeting, and must
keep within his little sphere, and not
but in on anything. It is true that I,
when mayor Of Salem, left the chair Ia
speak on subjects before tho council
but, at the same time, had any member
Of the council saw fit to contest my
right TO turn over the seat Of honor To
another ] would have been compelled
to leave the floor.

its mayor say $1,000 year, with the au
thority in him vested TO hire an assist

Of the council, seven or IA members, az
may be chosen, TO act as merely an ad
yisory committeej place tho police, fire

the lines 10 the other minor details, ant
thus make him responsible for the en-
tire workings Of the city government
Less Chickering's Promised.
"By giving tho mayor aud an assist
ant this power there would be less Of
this pickering among the members o.
the council, and the mayor-one man
would have the whole responsibilit,
resting upon his shoulders. Represen
tatives from tho different wards eoul,
act as advisers at any time, but th
mayor would have the complete author
ity, and the business transacted W IN
city would be in his hands. The grea
amount Of red tape necessary seemingl
to complete minor business matter
would be done away with to large "a
tent, and, instead Of these little thing
being held up for months, as they ar
under the present conditions, IL woul
be up TO the mayor to sec that h

records at the city hall this morning, a
Capital Journal representative found
that not one case wherein the police
were called on to locate a missing Sa.
lem girl could be found for the past
four years.
Where Are Grounds?
With the records to show for them
selves, and the police matron working
now under the chief of police, the
morning paper sees fit to spring a sur
prise on the public that is a surprise
indeed. The "morning misinforma.
ton" reports that Mrs. Lynch has
"unearthed the reason why Salem
girls go wrong" but, if she is under
the direction Of the chief of police
now, under an ordinance passed by the
council, why do not these facts appear
nrecord7 The chief of police keeps
records Of this character, but he has
had no occasion to note any so far.
The morning paper reports that GER
tain young girls "have been caught in
company with young men whose reputa-
tions were not of the best" Accord
ing to the general sentiment, Mrs,
Lynch is casting reflections upon many
young, innocent people in Salem by not
giving out the names Of the certain
young girls she mentions, or has
caused to be mentioned in the morn
ing paper. Mrs. Lynch also casts re.
Election upon the good name of Salem,
when she allows the morning paper to
mention her name in connection with
an article that is made up by some pen
pusher, who simply takes her word for
it, and does not take the trouble to con-
suit with the police matron S chief, Mr..
Shedeck.
Thus does Salem get it handed to her
by people who pretend to be boosters.
She is the recipient Of praise of people
from all over the United States for her
record as clean town, and now she
gets a stab in the back from the morn.

Saws Without Teeth.

An explanation of the manner in
which soft steel disk revolving at
high velocity cuts hard steel has
recently been sought with the aid
of microscopic inspection. The re-
suit corroborates the view hitherto
held that the material acted upon is
heated at the place of contact to
the fusing point and then brushed
away. The high temperature ap-
pears to be confined narrowly to the
point of contact, SO that thin cash
is cut. The temperature of the re-
volving disk does not rise so high
because of the large surface area Of
the disk. The part of the disk in
contact is continually changing,
while the fractional energy is con-
centrated on a very small area of
the material subjected to its action.

School Per Capita.

Superintendent of Public In
struction Hamlet announced that
the school per capita for t h 9
scholastic year of 1912 and 1913
had been fixed at 81, the same as
last year. The per capita was
made on an estimated revenue of
$3,038.000 The school census for
1913 in the rural school district Isl:
White, 531.897; colored, 52,946,
making total of 84,S43, and in
the cities, white, Ill, 484; colored.
25, 4S6, making a total of 1876, $40.
The school census for 1913 shows
falling off of 2,236, which is at
tributed to the fact that there is
no fraud in the taking of the
census.

The law creating the Kentucky Tu-
berculosis Commission at the last leg
stature provides also a plan for the
building of small hospitals throughout
he state for the proper treatment of
tuberculosis. The plan in brief is as
follows; The Fiscal Court of any
county may declare that county dis
trict for the purpose of building hos
pital. Or, by petition, the question
may be submitted to vote of the peo-
pie at any. regular election, and, If
.arried, it is then the duty of the Fis-
trict. Any group of counties touching
one another may declare themselves
A single district for this purpose by a
vote at any general election which
carries in each of the. counties in
volved. Then, under certain restric-
lions in the law, the State Commission
names a considerable, group of citi-
zens, men and women, of the county
or counties involved, from which
group the judges OF these counties
name District Board of tuberculosis
Hospital Trustees. This Board then
asks of the Fiscal Court funds to be
raised in the regular levy Of taxes.
From these funds a site is selected,
subject to the approval of the State
Commission, and then the Board pro-
seeds to erect the hospital. The State
On. mission is given a very general
eIsi SHIT of the future activities Of

the board, and the construction ana
maintenance of the hospital. Patients
are to be received from tho district.
either free or for weekly charge, &C
cording to their financial condition,
by these charges must be paid by the
district.
This is not so expensive plan as 1t
looks. After the construction of rea-
sonably substantial building for the
purpose of administration, the cooking
and serving of meals, and the housing
of the nurses, the building or build
ings for the actual housing of the
consumptives can be more cheaply
erected than those for any similar hos
pital purpose, because the patients are
made to live and sleep in the open air,
or on verandas; very small, cheaply
constructed buildings are sufficient for
the purpose. The whole campaign
against tuberculosis is based. not on
sympathy, but on economics. Prac-
tically all Of the sufferers are between
the ages of IL and so, nearly all of
them housewives or wage-earners, and
many of them the parents of children.
You can serve your community
and insure yourself in no better way
than by advocating the building of
such an institution. Every cent 1t
costs is more than returned by the dis
tress it relieves and the poverty 1t pre-
vents.
