80 THE PEOPLE
MAY KNOW"

Just before The Post went to press
this week our attention was called by
County Treasurer King to the fact that
the name Of the Mclean Mercantile
company appeared in the delinquent
tax list published in this paper.
This name should not have appeared
in the list as this company was one
of the last payments to come into the
treasurer office before the list wss
printed. The name was marked out In
the proof, but, owing to the rush Of
work in this office, was in some way
overlooked.
When our attention was called to Il
today that part Of the tax list had al
ready been printed, and hence the ex-

President LAWYERS

TWENTY of the 20 American presidents to date, have
been lawyers.
A lawyer deals chiefly with precedent.
An engineer deals with cause and effect business
with results Logically business man or engineer
would make the best president But the voters have
fear usually with good reason that the successful bust
engineer elected TO office would be too close
to his former associates The objection holds true
with most lawyers. The lawyers got nearmonopoy
