Men and Business
By RICHARD SPILLANE.

Theodore N Vail was one of the
ablest and most versatile of Amer
ica's big men. He was big Of body
and big of mind. He might have
been a great railroad chief il he
so desired. In his youth he fol-

He was the architect of the
great system we now know as the
Railway Mail Service. His years
with the government were not vast

ham Bell when the telephone was
fiedgling and stayed with 1t until
it was great and strong. Then he
went far afield.
In the Argentine he did many
things that now are monuments to
mis- fine ability. Among other
things, he transformed urban trans

Men called him the Big Chief
He deserved the name. He wrote
well. He talked well. He worked
well.
He would have been a great ath-
lete If sport had claimed him. He
took more pride in his ability as
ball player than in some of the
things that made him famous. When
he was past 60 he used to love to
frolic with the boys up at his coun-
try place and he would row with
the umpire over a close decision

were great chums. The cop al

morning for the Big Chiefs car
and always watched for MIN in
the evening when Vail was due to
depart.
For some reason lie gave the
right Of way to the Big Chief.
But most men did. That's one of
the tributes paid to really big men.

and not. We will say. in Cook Coun-
ty. where il had no power.
Now comes the question: Exact
ly how did Lowden cut the cost OF
the State government? The answer
is: BY consolidating l25 different
state departments into nine, the
adoption of budget system that
created harmony and efficiency be-
tween the governor and the legis-
lature, and centralizing the pur-
chase of all State supplies, putting
lllionis in the market as a wholesale
buyer.
David Z. Shanahan. speaker OF
the House of Representatives, out
lined the Lowden reforms to me.
Under the old system Illinois had
more than 500 citizens who as COM
missioners" kept in touch with poll
tics.
Lowden abolished the commissions
and created nine departments:
Finance. public works and buildings.
labor. public health. trade and COM
merce. public welfare, mines and
minerals, agriculture and registra
ton and education. Together they
fairly cover the field of State ad-
ministration. outside of those pow

duties are:
First. To examine into the ac-
Curacy and legality CT the accounts

Second. To examine and approve
or disapprove all bills, vouchers and

ments.
All buying for the State was put
into the control of one man: super

chases and supplies.
In preparing a budget for his

DOUG. FAIRBANKS AT
i GRAND THEATRE TONIGHT

Optimism of the Fairbanks brand
is the keynote of the story Of Say,
Young Fellow the AIRCRAFT photo
play in which Douglas Fairbanks
will be seen at the Grand theatre to-
night only: Aside from its novelty,
the theme Of this splendid picture is
of the quality that cheers and invig-
crates ones jaded spirit as wine
cheers the parched wayfarer under
vertical sun on the arid desert. /.
Anyone who has, met a newspaper
reporter such as is portrayed by Mr..
Fairbanks in this picture, doubtless
will have an entirely new conception
of the genius reportorial. This young
fellow" is a smiling chap, gritty and
resourceful, a staunch Optimist, AN
athlete of the first class, and a chap
who refuses to give way to discour-
agement because things don't go just
as he expected they would. BY ex-
ample he breaches the message that
squitters are pest and deserving of
all that comes to them.
Mr.. Fairbanks is splendidly sup
ported in this picture by such screen:
players as Marjorie Daw, Frank
Campeau, Edythe Chapman, James
Neill and others.
