BY Marshall Michel
We claim that We are civilized,
But see the hats we're using;
Some are too small, some diversified,
And all of them amusing
I guess I've worn all that are made,
From derby to sombrero.
In some ] felt composed and staii,
In some ! felt like zero.

Without doubt 7 was proudest
or one I wore when quite a lad,
Twas certainly the loudest.
It was my Freshman hat Of green
To teach me to be humble,
That ! must doff, when Sophs were
seen,
Without a growl or grumble.

My silk hat since acquired.

And wouldn't be glad to know

NO WHTTEWASHISG
IN CITY BUSINESS


There should be no whitewash-
ing in city business,
If there was a violation OF the
building ordinances in the construc-
lion of the apartment house on West
Main street, whoever was RESPONSE
BILE should be hailed before the board
Of building commissioners and Of
fetal action taken.
Above all. there should be no at
tempt made to effect settlement
between the builders and the pres
ent owners as a final disposition of
the case.
Such an amicabe agreement, II
reached between the parties directly
concerned, is OF no interest to the
public and should be OF no inter
est to the building department.
The building department cannot
logically dismiss the matter with an
announcement that such an agree
ment has been reached.
Such an agreement should not
close the incident so far as the city
is concerned.
The public is interested in the
protection Of its interests--for the
4 protection of its life and limb. A
person not acquainted with build
ing methods has no way Of de-
tcrmining the soundness of the
building in which he makes his in
rcstmcnt, or into which he moves
his family, except through assur-
ance from the department desig-
nuted by the city TO offer such as
surance.
The building law should he en-
forced 10 the letter. and when the
iHW is violated the penalty should
be invoked regardless of any
"amicable agreement" between the
parties involved.
The taxpayers Of the city annu-
ally allot a sizoabIc sum in wages
10 the building department. and IT
is reasonable to expect that the pub
