hall puncture the roof 10 the extent
that a new covering must be laid?

Protests Against
Paying for Paving
On Center Street

w. L. Walker, owner of property
at Fifty-fourth and Center streets,
filed with the city council protest
against special taxes assessed for
paving which recently was COM
pleted on Center street. He alleges
that the special taxes are not equal
to benefits accruing to property
owners; furthermore, property own
ers did not petition for the improve
ment. The paving was ordered under
provision of the law which au-
thorizes the city council to proceed
without petitions in cases of main
thoroughfares.' The protest will be
considered by city council sitting as
board of equalization on Novem-

LAW THE HIGH ROAD
TO WHITE HOUSE
But Farmers and Clergymen
Father Many Of United
States Presidents.
MOST OF BRITISH ANCESTRY
By A. R. GRoH.

All boys learn, during their early
days in school, that they may become
president OF the United States some
day.
Most of us, by the time we reach
the age of 80, would sell our chance
at very moderate price.
Most boys, anyway, have little de-
sire to be president Of the United
States. Personally. was ambitious
to be railroad engineer or news
boy on a train--so that | could ride
all the time without having to pay
fare.
Another boy | knew longed, some
day, to become the driver of large,
blue garbage cart that used to pass
the house. And any number of them
cherished the ardent desire to be one

States,
Presidential Material.
However, men are known to cher
ish this ambition. Let US turn the
pages OF history and observe what
were the occupations of the men who
became presidents of this republic.
Twenty-seven men have been pres
ident and nineteen OF these were law.
yersl Three were statesmen, two
were farmers washington and the
first Harrison), two were soldiers
(Taylor and Grant) and one was
public official (Roosevelt).
In their earlier lives the range of
occupations was somewhat wider, also
somewhat humber. Millard Fillmore
was a tailor and Abraham Lincoln
was a farm hand.
Do you find your occupation among
any of these, siri Well, ! don't find
mine and I'll sell my chance at the
presidency very cheap.
Now let's 60 back to the fathers
of the presidents and see what their
occupations were.
| Few Lawyers Sons.
All, here we find very pleasing alb.
sence OF lawyers. Only two presi-
dents had fathers who were lawyers.
They were Taft and J. @. Adams.
The fathers of most of them were
either farmers or clergymen. There
were fourteen whose fathers were
farmers and three whose fathers were
clergymen, the latter being Arthur,
Clevenand and Wilson. Charles Evans
Hughes is also the son Of clergy
man.
Three presidents were sons of mer-
chants, namely, Buchanan, Hayes and
Roosevelt. Grants father was tam
ner. Andrew Johnson's father fol-
lowed the humble calling Of sexton
and constable.
The astounding thing about our
presidents is that all but two OF them
were of British ancestry. The two
exceptions were Van Buren and
Roosevelt, both Dutch. The others
were either English, Welsh, Scotch
or Scotch-Irish. (Well, I'm English
Irish on my mothers side.)
| All the presidents were either poor
or in very moderate circumstances.
Fortune seldom takes child from
the lap of luxury and throws the
mantle of greatness over him. Most
of US can qualify on that count, any
way, can't WEI
