NEW YORK, March 20.-Dr. Fried
man issued a statement today advising
ali tuberculosis sufferers not to come
To New York now, promising that 1t
would not be long before all could get
ms remedy.
The scenes before the hospitals ne
visits are pathetic. Women carrying
emaciated, misshapen children stood in
the rain waiting his arrival. AS his
automobile appeared, they rushed for
ward and blocked the doctors prog
ress. Women feel on their knees,
holding up stricken children. Some
snatched the rags covering the bodies,
exposing the twisted and swollen
bodies. DR.. Friedman, tears stream
ing from his eyes, forced his way
through the throng, urging all to have
patience.

acquaintance in the city was limited.
He was in no sense a local character.
though so largely interested here.
South Bend was merely a part in his
system of electrical development.
Constructively Mr.. Chaplin was a
large figure in the means by which
South Bend has progressed through
the development of the power re-
sources of the st. Joseph valley. His
capital. his enterprise and his genius
for business have been of incalculable
value TO this city and all the other
cities that line the banks of the ST.
Joseph river.
The introduction of electricity in
South Bend for power and light dates
from the early eighties. Andrew An
dersnn and James DuShane took the
initiative and went as far as their
limited resources would permit. but
compared with what we have today it
was not very far. But these two men
have the credit of making the begin
ming and Of making the present de-
velopment possible at this early date.

BRITISH IMPUDENCE.

As an example Of commercialized
diplomacy the attitude assumed by
Great Britain toward the Mexican sit
uation is perhaps unparalleled. Such
violation of the broad understanding
that the United States shall have a
free hand in Mexico can be explained
on no other hypothesis.
Assuming that Huerta is and will
be the controlling power in Mexico
the British government has been
quick To take advantage OF the antag-
onism of the United States with the
obvious purpose OF currying CONNER
cial favor. The Mexican trade is val
liable and the English government
seems TO think il worth taking a
chance 10 gain TIE preference. How
much further this intention runs is
speculative.
IL is possible the interference is in
ended as an entering wedge 10 pry

whole Latin-American contingent.
That doctrine gives the United States
a precedence and opportunity in a
commercial way Of which it has never
taken undue advantage nor largely
profted by, but Great Britain sees as
we are beginning TO see that in the
future our commercial relations with
the republics to the south will be
greater unless something is done TO
divest the American government of its
position as guardian.
The Gordon incident is an instance
of British impudence rarely if ever
surpassed in international affairs. 1t
we'll may be disturbing to the Ameri-
can administration. The situation
presented is full Of difficulties, if not
| dangers, and it will be necessary for
the wisest counsels to prevail TO avoid
a serious clash. 1t may be relieved

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES +

ktBSIlSEB.
The call in this campaign is for
efficiency.
The taxpayers Of South Bend insist
on having business administration
Of city affairs. They want men elect
ed next month who will give them a
dollars worth of service for every
dollar expended.
That's efficiency. and that's business.
But how is the taxpayer To know
who is competent TO give him the
kind of service he demands?
He doesn't know and ne can't know
without submitting the candidates who
are soliciting his vote To a test-the
test Of experience.
That is where Harvey +. Rostiser.
democratic candidate for city clerk. is
strong. Harvey Rostiser is long on
experience He has passed the ap-
premiership stage and has proved his
efficiency.
The people of South Bend who have
had business at the city clerks office
the past few years know that Harvey
knows the business of that office from
\ TO Z.
1t was also brought to the attention
Of the state board of accounts in a
striking manner. The state board of
accounts is supposed 10 be the last
word in accounting. but Harvey RIOS
tiser. the young deputy clerk of South
Bend. showed the members of that
board a new one.
They sent mp here a form of ac-
counting for the city clerks office. II
was prepared by the really able and
expert members Of the state board OF
accounts and it was neatly ruled and
printed.
Harvey looked il over and sent it
back. lie told them it wouldn't do

counts on that kind OF blank
4 member of the board brought the
blank back to South Bend and asked
why it couldn't be used.
Harvey showed him.
Then Harvey got up a blank the
city could use and sent il TO the board
and the board adopted it Cor all the
ClJeS IN the state.
That's efficiency.
Another thing the young democratic
candidate for city clerk did When
ne went into the office as deputy he
found the records in a state of confu-
sion amounting almost 20 chaos.
He couldn't stand for that condition
and went 10 work diggins the record.

result was a complete and contnuou:
