banker and philanthropist of ma
tional srepute.
SEhe case lie presented was that
the widespread criticism Of men OF
great wealth and financial power IL
not only unjust, Abut destructive, and
dangerous. Their fortunes, he said,

4sacrificing labors, Moreover. Stiies
are generous in relieving calamity
and in substituting phllanthropic In,

Nevertheless, he complained, "a
class 81 the community is being
trained to hate the rich man" And

MOUNTED POLICE
OFFICER MAY BE
PLACED SUBWAY
And to Patrol the Mound City Road
at Night-Suggestion by
Chief Fuller.

A mounted police officer at the
Subway and along the county road
at night to Cache bridge is proposed
and if the City Commissioners give
their consent to such a proposition,
the officer will be put on immedi-
lately. Chief Fuller suggested the
idea and Commissioner Hurd has
approved. Edward l.. Gilbert,
chairman Of tic County Commits
sionors has also approved of the
suggestion and it is now up 10 the
Commissioners.
If this is carried out it Is pro-
posed to have the city pay half
of the expense and the County to
pay the other half. The officer will
patrol the Subway and the county
road to Cache bridge There are
to be three police boxes with lights
placed along the road so that the
officer can keep in touch with and
he called from police headquarters.
The Job will command an officer
who will be fearless and can handle
the troublesome characters who fire.

menace to travel.
The Subway has become such a
notorious place that autoists fear to

they might have an unpleasant ex-
perience at this place, BY having
an officer stationed there and keep

be advertised along the line and
very few will land in Cairo from
