Not n Grand-Stander
(New York Herald)

If Calvin Coolidge seems at first glance to be an enigma, 1t Is be- cause no one has studied his back ground. There is the key to his character. Quiet, self-contained, master of himself, he unquestfon- ably is, with none of the facile arts of the professional politician. He has never been a grand stander, not even in the Boston police strike. The country has no cause to worry that he is a man who urges change for the sake of change or disturbance for the sake of noise.

His theologians have always been far more ortho- dox than He was Himself. The best beloved of His disciples is re- corded to have called His atten- tion to an incident in this lan- guage, Master, We saw one cast ing out devils in Thy name; and | been overlooking the good of any | one who followeth not with us.
 This is boastfully proclaimed to be a tolerant age, but 1t differs from no other age in this proud boast. We tolerate that with which we agree; otherwise we are intolerant. It Is true that no longer pains and penalties are in flicted by church or state for opin- ions which run counter to the or thodoX mind, but punishment ex- ists today. It consists of ostra- cism from the heavenly choir, which we think we are leading.

Court Action at Racine.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)


Racine, Wis. - A state of upheaval
in certain of the principal thorough
fares of the city is about to come to an
end as the result of decision hand
ed down by Judge Belden in the cir
cult court today. Torn up pavements,
open trenches and piles of construc-

in revoliing the permit of the Wis
consin Gas and Electric Company to
open certain streets for the purpose
of installing a booster main; that the
company may proceed with the digging
of the trench and that R. Goodland
and T. ]. Gavahan were illegally ar
rested while digging in the streets.
Judge Belden also held that the COM
pany had acted in legal manner and
that the city is not entitled to an in
junction restraining it from proceeding
with the work.
The Gas Company is granted per-
-manent injunction restraining the city
from interfering with it in the in
stailation of the proposed booster main

ay be Called to Provide
'unds Declared Necessary.


adison, Wis.-The Wisconsin Board
formal Regents was prepared today
show that the states nine normal
,ols will be tremendously crippled"
orced to operate during the next

the 1923 legislature to grant a
appropriation to the schools has
ced their future efficiency in Jeo-
dy, board members said.
Conclusions of the business and
lcational committees of the normal
ard are to be presented at formal
citing this afternoon, when final
,ort will be made to the governor.
cording to P. w. Ramer, presi-
1T of the board, this report is ex-
,ted to show that the normals are
1fronted with a crisis.
rhe business committee has re-
rt showing that with but S1,300,000
ailable for operation during the
ming year, the institutions face a
ortage of $1,088,00O needed for oper-
on, capital and maintainence on the
sis of planned efficiency.
May Ask Special Session.
This is expected, according to board
mhers to bring forward a statement
licating that three courses are open

sion Of the legislature to grant
led funds, to ask relief from the
Urgency board, or to close down
institutions some time next May,
er operating in crippled condition
oughout the year.
Whatever the final outcome the
,rd has determined to continue
,ration of the normal schools on
basis Of the 1922-1923 appropria-
MS. This will leave no funds for
Jital and maintenance and will pre-
1T an increase in the teaching force,
ded, board members say, because
increased enrollments.
Oshkosh Needs Home.
I. A. Brown, president of the Osh-
h Normal school, presented Brief
ay, which declared that one-third
the students at his school, were

re rotting away. Another group, he
d, were attending classes in an old
Sc, barn, abandoned twenty years
for stabling purposes. The legis-
ure has failed to provide for re-
cement of the main building burned

Despite of the board establishing
nine positions at the Milwaukee

there is to be a reorganization

CHI" TO GUARANTEE
STATE LAKE LEVEL
officials Go to Washington With a
Million Dollars to Insure
Action in the Future.
(By Associated Prcssl

Chicago, Ill.-Bearing a certified
check for $1,000,000 representatives of
the Chicago sanitary district board
were on their way to Washington today
hoping to demonstrate to the war de-
partment the good faith of the district
in its proposal to dispose of the lake
level controversy by construction of
compromising works in the st. Law
renee and st. Clair rivers.
The check was carried by 7 li1~gm
j. Healy, president of the board who
was accompanied by Clyde L. Day, at
torney, and Edward ]. Kelly, chief
engineer.
A federal injunction recently issued
will restraints the sanitary district
within six months from using more
than 47O cubic inches of lake water a
second, originally authorized by the
war department. More than 5000
cubic feet is now being used and it is
expected 10000 soon will be required.
If the governments threatened limita-
ton is enforced, Chicago will be left
without adequate means for sewage
disposal
Wisconsin has been the chief objec-
tor to the sanitary districts diver
sion of lake water, contending that a
reduced lake level desulted which i'm
paired navigation facilities. The sani-
tary district has offered to construct
at it's own expense, probably S2,500,000,
regulating works and dams in the St.
Lawrence ana St. Clair rivers that
would maintain the lake levels.
If authority to take the water re-
CURED cannot be obtained from the
war department, officials stated an ap-
peal may be taken to Congress.

GIVES new TIP
ON LAND DEAL
-
South Shore Lake Property
to be De Luxe Resi-
dence District.
SECOND LAKE FOREST
Chicago Real Estate Man Says
Van Ingen Property to Be
Fine Residential Suburb.
Here is the latest:

Here is the latest:
Thef large tract of lake shore land,
formerly known as the Van lngen
property, and located just south of the
city limits of Kenosha, has not been
purchased by a Chicago syndicate as a
site for a branch of the stockyards as
once reported nor has it been secured
to be developed as a "Chicago Atlantic
City,, as likewise rumored here re-
Gently The latest "red-hot tip" from
Chicago declares that the tract is to
be used as a residence district de luxe
ia second Lake Forest"-and its de-
velopment along this line will be start
ed Immediately.
The new "tip" comes from a Chi
cago real estate man who visited IN
Kenosha today and who seemed to be
very much surprised that there was
any mystery in Kenosha regarding
what was to be done with the tract.
Describes Big Development.
"Stockyards or Atlantic City," he
said. "Bah That's all hokum. It
has been an open secret in real es-
tate circles in Chicago for the past
three weeks that that tract is to be
developed as a residential district with
$4,000 Building restriction on each
deed to tractgaeEd- A group of Chi
cago millionaires are behind the pro-
iect and it seems assured, according
to reports in that city"
The informant declared that the
new district was to become similar to
Lake Forest in that it was to become a
magnificent residence district with no
home to cost less TINA $4,000, accord
ing to the terms of the deed. He
stated that he had information to the
effect that plans were already drawn
for harbor where yachts, launches
and light craft could be landed and
that the Northwestern Railway COM
pany had agreed to make the new sub.
urb regular stop for all trains.
Are Selling OF Buildings.
Attorney Clarence Fisher of Keno
sha who is legal counsel for the Chi
cago syndicate which has purchased
the property in question, neither con-
firmed nor denied the report when it
was mentioned to him this morning.
Il am not at the present time pri-
vileged to make any announcement re-
garding the property other than that
l am carrying out orders to clear it
of all of the buildings which are now
on the land,' he said. "That work
has been almost completed and the
tract will be ready for the new own
ers to start work on their new project
soon"
Relative to reports that the district
was to be developed as de luxe resi-
Dental suburb, it was pointed out that
available locations at Lake Forest have
all been taken and that the Van Ingen
property is the best large tract be-
tween Kenosha and Chicago for such a
district. The development of such a
suburb would mean much to Kenosha
just as it has brought great growth
to Lake Forest.
