Records Indicate
That Our Leaders
Do Not Live Long

While the general average of hu-
man life has been heightened appre-
ciably in recent years 1t seems that
political leaders are an exception.
Mr.. Bryan died at SIS. Henry Clay.
a man whose career was often used
as a comparison for the Great Com
moner's, was nearly II when death
him, and Lewis Cass, who had
as many and as varied experiences
as Bryan and Clay, lived until he was
SO.
The first ten presidents attained
an average OF more than rs years.
These we're: Washington, 81; John
Adams. 80; Jefferson, SO; Madison.
So; Monroe, 73: John Quincy Adams,
So; Jackson, rs; Van Buren,, 49,;
Tyler. II: and William Henry Harri-
son, 6S.
Eight of the last ten presidents
reached the average of only Ga years.
They were: Harding. SIS; Wilson. 81;
rison. 81; Arthur, 56; Hayes. 20;
Garfield was 40 when they were as
%sassinated. Had they been included
they would have lowered the aver
age materially.
With the tendency being toward
longer life for most OF US 1t is re-
markable that presidents should APP
parently be an exception. Being
president today Is much different
from what 1t was a century ago. The
duties are more onerous, the re-
sponsibilities are greater. The fig
ures given above indicate that some
thing should be done to lessen the
strain on the president 80 that cleo
ton to that office Will not virtually
mean a death sentence.

SUE AS RESULT
OF CABIN FIRE
Hunters Who Maintained
Cabin Say McHetrick
Was to Blame.
ASK FOR DAMAGES

Because a cabin used for outings
and hunting parties burned to the
ground when man on the adjoining
land built fire on his grounds, the
Aowners of the cabin have brought suit
in circuit court fol $500. Herman
Clausen, Julius Clausen, William Nell
son and Harry Krahn are the plain
tiffs and John McHeerick the defend
ant.
The articles which were destroyed
by fire were four boats, three mat
tresses, two spring beds, one sanitary
couch, two stoves, one set of dishes,
silyerware, one table, eight chairs,
two pair of hip boots, on clock, two
lamps and seven army blankets.
Charge Negligence.
The plaintiffs charge that McHet-
rick started fire on his land forty
rods away from the cabin and did not
give. the fire proper care so that it
spread to their playhouse. The fire
occurred April L, 1925, and none of
the owners of the cabin were there
at the time to prevent the damage.
Damages of $500 are demanded by
the plaintiffs who are represented by
William Runge as attorney.

COME TO RESCUE
OF GRASS PLAT
Keep Grass Plot in Market
Square Advises City
Plan Commission.
GIVES THREE REASONS

The City Plan Commission came to
the rescue of the grass plot in the
center of Market Square today when 1t
filed with the city manager to be pre-
scented to the city council recommen-
dation that this grass plot be not re-
moved to provide parking space, as
sought in a petition sent to the coun-
Gil by business men and property own
ers of the location in question.
The commission gave the following
reasons for refusing to endorse the
petition:
% We believe the removal of the
grass plot will not facilitate the move
ment of traffic.
(2) That an additional traffic haz-
ard will be created, and
(3) That all features of civic
adornment should be preserved.
The Safety Council of the Civic
Council has also recommended to the
council that the grass plot be pre-
served, emphasizing the fact that the
placing of parking tract in that To-
would create most dangerous hazard.
Report On Other Projects.
The city plan commission has also
filed with the council it's recommends
lions regarding several other matters,
which have been referred to it. These
recommendations are as follows:
Regarding the proposal made to the
city by the Balm Wagon Company
to exchange frontage on Main street
for the vacation of Crooked Alley, the
plan was endorsed.
1t was recommended that the petit
ton for the vacation of portion of
the alley lying north of Park Court
be denied as no public benefit is to
be derived from such vacation.
In the matter of the petition asking
that an alley in the block bounded by
Racine avenue, Fairfield avenue,
Ridge street and Noble street be not
laid out and opened, it was urged that
the alley be no vacated as sought in the
petition.
The petition of the school board for
the vacation of an alley in the Lawn
dale Subdivision to meet with scaool
demands was recommended.
