or more loyal soa than George f5R.
Rembert. He loved her and heloyed
her people. His life's ambition was
to serve her and them as best ne

times that at least the character OF
his service and honesty Of his pur-
pose would be judged not by erring
mankind, but by God Almighty In his
wisdom and mercy. I feel his death
very greatly indeed. AS to what his

With all his letter writing, Mr..
McLaurin has not explained why he
attended and prominently participated
in the Blease fair week conference.
which was avowedly called for the
purpose Of perfecting plans for the
complete control Of state politics by
the Blease faction in the interest of
Rlease and his coat-tail swingers. Be-
ing we'll advised Of this fact, why did
Mr.. McLaurin participate in the con-
ference If he entertained so low an
opinion of Blease and Bleaseism as
his post-conference letters indicate
that he does? The faces that Mr..
McLaurin is now making at Blease
and Bleaseism suggest the thought
that he discovered that the, fruits of
the conference were sour grapes

If Senator McLaurin has made any
faces at "Blease" or "Bleaseism," we
have failed to notice 1t. But we
know what's the matter with the
Item. 1t is for Manning, Of course.

TRUSTEE READING is RIGHT.

Trustee Charles +. Reading, chair
man OF the Finance Committee of
the Sanitary District OF Chicago, has
put a quletus on statements made
that the district is making an unjus.
tifiable tax levy.
Mr.. Reading said that while a levy
of s7,500,000 had been voted upon by
the board, by the time this amount
went through the process OF reduc.
ton necessary under the JUL law
and the shrinkage that will occur In
collection, the tax levy will be less
than s5,5O0,00O.
In making the comparison OF this
levy with levies of the years past
Mr.. Reading said that no bond issues
had been mentioned in the years
past. Within the last ten years
bonds in excess of sls.000000 were
issued by former boards In addition
10 tax levies OF more than s25,000,'
900, he said
Up to Jan. / of this year, there
was still outstanding sl7,599,0O0 in
bonds with accrued interest and
premiums in the sum OF si32,966.
Since the present board has been

the Calumet district, and the greater
part Of industrial shipping tonnage Is
bound to go there. Property values
In the neighborhood Of the proposed
park district are too valuable ever
to cause a harbor to be established
there successfully.
The advocates of the park i'm.
provement plan include the South
r,rk commissioners, the city admin.
istration, the harbor commission, the
Chicago Association of Commerce,
the Commercial Club, and, I believe,
80 per cent OF the people Of Chicago.
Opposed to these Is Col. Bixby, who,
In expressing himself. obviously has
assumed to know more about what
the 100000 people Of Chicago want
than they do themselves.
THE people Of Chicago know their
own interests and are best able to
Judge what Is necessary to promote
them. So far as Chicago Is con.
cerned. there Is practically no dis.
sent to the lake front park plans. It
seems to me inconceivable that the
united demand Of our people as It has
been expressed should not prevail in

sunny and genial disposition coupled
with those sterner qualities which are
the attributes Of what. in the slang
of the day. IL termed live wire."
The bureau over which the new officer
presides has under It three important
divisions; the great division Of rural
mails with its army Of nearly 100000
rural delivery and star route carriers.
the important division Of supplies and
equipment which handles the supplies
and equipment for the entire postal
service and produces the rural deliv.

army OF workers which locates the O.
