THE MAYOR AS A FINANCIER.

vxyHEN the public funds are considered, Mayor Ed Over

getting our moneys WORTH all along the municipal line
But Ed Overholser asa private financier pulled this
one. He borrowed $4,000 at 8 percent and let the United

That's patriotic finance. Will our other patriotic cit

DANIELS DECLARES
NEWPORT VERY BAD
Secretary of Navy Gives Result of
+ Inspection Trip.

Secretary Daniels Is again on the
warpath against vice at Newport. He
returned from a personal inspection
Of the naval station there last week.
Yesterday he characterized moral con-
ditions surrounding the training sta
ton. which houses over 10000 men, as
very bad"
II made an investigation last week"
he said. 'I now have further reports
before me and am studying them"
Mr.. Daniels refused to say what kind
of Vice menaced his young men at
Newport. Early In the summer. when
the station there first began to grow,
he complained to the mayor of New
port that they were subjected to the
temptations of open resorts Of women,
liquor and gambling. The mayor at
that time stoutly denied that condi-
tions were bad, but the Navy Depart
ment made its own Investigations and
submitted its own proof and there was
a Cleanup" Of the Newport resorts.
This was one of the first Of a num-
Der Of campaigns of the Navy De-
partment to clean up cities near naval
stations. Since that time the cam
paign has been quietly going on in a
number of places. including the Great
Lakes station in Chicago and the

CREEL HAS Scheme
To CONTROL OPINION
Proposes Community Centers Be
Used for Debating Purposes.

Establishment OF community school
centers for discussion of Americas
international relations, in order to aid
the government In forming public
opinion, will be announced in a pro-
clamation by President Wilson short
ly after Christmas. George Creel said
in an address to the Federal School
mems Club in the Hotel Continental
last night.
It Is the aim OF the Committee on
Public Information, OF which Mr..
Creel is chairman. to form communi-
ty organizations with headquarters in
10000 schools to more closely unite
public opinion am keep the people in
formed on war activities.
The plan, which closely follows the
community center movement advanc-
ed by Miss Margaret Wilson, daugh-
ter OF the President. would embrace
every teacher in the schools and col
leSes OF the country.
Bulletins and pamphlets will be is
sued through the agency of teachers
and unlimited discussion Of govern
mental affairs will be encouraged.
The Schoolmen's Club pledged its
hearty support and cooperation.

ing to have many existing censorship
rules revoked. He complained that In
many instances the newspapers did
not give sufficient space to matter
which ought to be brought before the
public. Newspaper men were exclud-
ed from hearing his address and the
discussion afterward
