Death Claims Panl Pharis

Mr.. Paul Pharis, whose serious
illness was noted last week, passed
away Monday evening about 1890
at his home in Columbus. While he
had not been we'll for several weeks,
he was not seriously i'll until within
two weeks of his death. Just what
his trouble was, is not known. The
best doctors and specialists or Co
lumbus were unable to satisfactor-
lily diagnose his trouble, and spe-
cialists of Cleveland who were call
ed were likewise puzzled. He was
27 years of age, and for number
of years had been road salesman for
the J. C. Blair Co. of Huntingdon,
Pa, manufacturers of fine papers.
1t was while here calling on his
trade, that he first met Miss Lucille
Farrell, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
s. E. Farrell, and to whom he was
happily married June 28, 1922. Be
sides his wife he is survived by his
mother Mrs. Mary Pharis of Mt.
Vernon, and one brother Fred
Pharis of the home. He also leaves
three half brothers who are the
manufacturers of the well known
Pharis auto tires. Mr.. Pharis was
man, who had made many friends
here, all of whom are panied to
learn of his death, and who extend
sympathy to his widow. He was a
soldier Of the World war, having
enlisted at the outbreak of hostili-
ties, and saw service overseas. He
was a member of the Indianola
Presbyterian church, Columbus, al
SO of the American Legion.
Short services will be held today
at his late home, Columbus, after
which the body will be taken to his
mothers home at Mt. Vernon for
further services, and where burial
will ba made

CHICAGO'S HOUSECLEANYNG

The fact that Chicago has mayor may not

munity But it has. The political situation in Chicago
is of vital Importance to everycy, town and hamlet IN
the land.
Easy-going Chicago, too busy about making its
own dollars and living its home life to any at
tenton to politicS-like many another communty--et
an evil machine organization elect its administration
officers and again. The Chicagoan knew the
result bad but he too busy too lazy to do
anything about it.
Finally matters got so bad they could escape his
attention longer His Streets his Schools every de-
tail of his city suffered Like half-asleep too
ease-loving to do than wggle little with dis
comfort when bothered by persistent fly, when final
ly the fly annoys him broad awake he rises and smtes
him. Just Mr. Chicago and smote his city gov
Republicansm but that is superficial In
of cities the thing is happening with reversed po
litical faiths.
In some cities this is taking the form of putting in
city manager. In others mayors are giving way to
commissions, commissions to mayors. The form is
of little consequence The fact is Americans wax
ing to the fact that they living in democratic
country This to say if they want good government,
they have got to govern themselves
That's the hard part about democracy and freedom
and all those glowing ideals. Privileges only
hand in hand with duties Rights create responsible
tiles.
Nor is it bad for the citizen to be obliged to grasp
the hand of duty to pick up his share of the general
load That way comes growth and power-and, if he
plays the game fairly happiness for himself and bet
ter world for his chldren's children.

WHO WON THE WAR?

that every nation that fought in the World War lost it,
they before.
Yet he says, there winners. Those winners
were women and labor. Every where women are bet
ter off, and almost everywhere labor is better Off
Women have gained greatly in political power. The
working people in the allied countries, in America
are getting higher actual wages than before-a
larger share of the product of their toll Thus there

many workmen are building homes for themselves
With these gains, surely the not fought
in vain. And the Old World may not be doomed, after
all. Women and labor, with their freedom and
opportunity, may save it. They seem destined, at any
rate, to have chance. And seeing how others have
bungled the job who will say that they do not deserve
their chance?
