WANT COL. COCKTAILS
FOR DAYTON MANAGER

DAYTON. Ohio, Nov. l8.--It leaked
out today that the reason the recent,
ly elected commission OF Ave to govern
Dayton had delayed its selection OF a
city manager was because they be-
lieved there was a possibility OF get
ting Colonel George w. Goethals.
builder Of the Panama canal. to accept
the position. The business mems or
ganization here Is known to have been
negotiating with Colonel Goethals and
TO have offered him salary Of $25, 900
a year.
The commissioners absolutely re-
fuse, however. to disclose how far
negotiations with the distinguished
army engineer have been carried.

A MAN IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN
HIS BUSINESS
Toledo's Mayor Explains Why
He Is Most Interested
In Golf
CONGRATULATES MAN
WHO GETS THAT THEORY
Speaks To Board Of Commerce
After Subject Is
Changed

When Mayor Brand Whitlock. Of
Toledo. read In the papers that he
was expected TO address the Board
OF Commerce. Tuesday. on Industrial
troubles Of the United States,' ne
wrote a letter to the board In which
he fatty refused to have anything to
do with such topic.
1t certainly put Mayor WhitiOck In
an embarrassing position. 1t Is ex-
pected that President Wilson Will
nominate him minister to Belgium.
when he turns over the mayors chair
TO his successor. Mayor WhitlOck's
views OF the Industrial situation are
regarded by many people as extreme,
not TO say incendiary, and II Nc
should speak his mind, and his speech
was reported through the country.
the president might find some trOu-
BILE In. securing the confirmation OF
his appointment Or perhaps Belgium
might object. These thoughts both
cred -members Of the Board Of Com.
merce, who saw the WhitlOck letter.
Secretary Gtchell was dispatched
In haste to Toledo, to tell Mr.. Whit
lock that he might choose his own
topic, II he would only speak. So the
mayor came, arriving too late for
luncheon, but In time to prevent the
audience from going back to work.
He was introduced by Milton A.
McRae. who said that Mr. Whitlock
had declined to run for a nth term
as mayor.
when | read the topic assigned
Ia
most extraordinary one. 1t SEEM
ed to me that he could not exhaust
il I'm week He has asked us not
to expect such discussion from him.
Instead, he will speak on The bust
ness mans relation to the city"
Mayor Whitlock spoke of the good
feeling which should exist between
the great lakes cities.
"A man Is more important than his
business" he said. There are a
great many things that are more i'm
portant than business. The things
that we love to do most are the
things we do best. To me, my golf
playing Is more important than my
business. | congratulate any man
who can come to that theory of life.
! wish that every man could feel
about his city the way he feels about
his golf game.
The first notion to get out Of our
heads IL the old one that city life Is
unnatural, and abnormal 1t Is the
most natural state for man to live in.
The nrst thing that savage tribes did.
on emerging from their primitive con-
dition, was to build cities"
Mayor Whitlock traced the rise of
the city from the earliest times,
Through the great cities of antiquity,
to those Of the present day, and dis
cussed their problems briefly.
