The provision in the new Constitu-

tend Mayor ThOmpson's term from
the spring to the fall of 1923 is being
fought hard by the Democrats.
Chairman Martin j O'Brien of the
Democratic Managing Committee, who
is a delegate to the Constitutional
Convention. is fighting it hard in
obedience to iron clad instructions
from the organization.
The Democrats are head, heels and

They act as if they had a sure thing
and the followers of the fifteen can
didates for mayor will brook no de-
lay.
They all want their man elected

ing it as if they wanted TO hang them.
Some of them defy the motors to
drive through at the proper time.
The cure for this would be to load
up patrol wagons with all pedestrians
who violate the traffic laws and give
them good fines first and Jail SEN
tences afterwards.
This would help loop traffic amaz-
ingly.
We do not know whether many of
the traffic cops take bribes for letting
favored parties park in the loop as
long as they wish to.
We do know that many traffic cops
put the screws on many people who
do not violate the law Intentionally.
We were glad to see the Chicago
Tribune take up this subject the other
day and tell the truth about the pow
erful influence of the coin of the realm
on loop parking.
A Tribune observer, struggling slow
ly through the loop and being con-
sistently reprimanded every time he
attempted to pull in to the curb and
stop decided to experiment with the
free and equal parking laws of Chi
cago about D. m. He found State.
Washington and Wabash parked solid
with the same cars he had observed
standing in the same places for an
hour or more. when the parking limit
is 80 minutes. He at last discovered
a tiny hole on the south side of Madi-
son street, about 90 yards west of Wa
bash, and backed into it:

placated dOorman. Don't worry"
Just leave your keys with me. We
never have any trouble about how
long cars are parked"
In fifty enthusiastically overtime
the eXperimenter returned.
Have any trouble about the park
ing time?" he asked the starter
Should say not" came the answer.
Remember this place"
The next stop was made on the east
side of state street about midway be-
tween Madison and Washington.
How about parking here, it's near
ly O'clock" he asked the starter, eX-
tending a tentative quarter.
"All right" returned that worthy, |

on this trick now. l used to be able |

slip him some marked money or some
thing. He's maxim it hard for me.
If you're going to be around for a
long time, why don't you pull around

Another ride down Washington
street discovered the same big cars
parked in the same places they had
occupied most of the afternoon. In

north line of Lake street, south line
of Harrison street, east line of Wa

SAYS SCHOOL BOARD
MEN CAN WITHDRAW
RESERVATIONS

An attorney familiar with board of
education procedure and the law ex-
pressed the Off-hand opinion today
that those trustees who presented
their designations to the mayor may
legally withdraw them as two women
members have done. By a ruling OF
the Supreme court, the mayor has no
power to remove trustees once he has
sent their names to the city council
and the council has affirmed the ap-
pOintmentS.
The attorney gave as his belief that
DR.. Sadie B. Adair and Mrs Pauline
STRIVING were within their rights
when they asked that their resigna-
tiOns be withdrawn. He does not
think, he said, there is any provision
under the law for the resignation OF
any trustee and there is likewise no
provision, the attorney thinks, as to
whom to present the resignation.
