Governor Small was charged with
Withholding large sums of interest
money due the State while he was
State treasurer from 1917 to 1919.
Baekers Of Suit Enemies
It is unlikely that there is a person
Of average intelligence in the entire
State of Illinois who sincerely believes
that those back of this suit are really
desirous Of doing the State . service
and are honestly trying to place in
the treasury money lawfully due the
commonwealth. It Is notorious that
the hackers of the suit are the Gov
ernor's bitterest personal and political
foes and that the active participants
are agents Of the large corporate in
terests Of the State, who have relent-
lessly pursued Governor Small because
he has steadfastly refused to bend
the knee and wear their collar.
Attorney General Edward j. Brun-
dage started out to "get" the Cover
nor several months before the pri-
mary election, April 8 last. He
brought a criminal action against
Governor Small at Waukegan in an
effort to send him to the penitentiary
and put him out Of the way as q po-
litical factor. The Governor was
acquitted and Afterward overwhel-
mingly defeated State Senator Es-
sington, who was the hand-picked pri-
mary Republican gubernatorial cam
didate of the Manufacturers Associ-
alton and other predatory interests.
Deal Made With Democrats
Defeated in the Republican primary
election, the pirates of finance went
over to the Democratic camp and
made a deal with George e. Brennan,
Democratic boss Of illinois, who had
groomed ard entered Norman L.
Jones, law partner Of Judge Frank
Burton, as the Democratic nominee
against Len Small. Then this BIZ
partisan combination started out to
consummate their unholy and rotten
purpose.
Every political jackal and coyote
that crooked big business could round
up was turned loose to snap and
snarl at the Governor. Billingsgate
and vi1lifcation and abuse of every
description were daily aimed at him
from April to November. Epithets
were shouted at him from every oppo-
sition stump. There was not q man,
woman or child in Illinois who did
not know all about the crooked BIZ
partisan combination had to say on
the allegation that Governor Small
had stolen the States money.
The people of Illinois patiently
listened to the great hullabaloo and
ballyhoo, weighed the evidence, anal
yzed the intent and purpose of the
Governors enemies, and when cleo
ton day rolled around they went to

ministration of Charles P. Howard
the union, about q year ago, made an
offer for the building around $780,

the owners held it for $3.50, 600. The
union also made an offer to buy the
Indiana Pythian Building, one Of the
largest of the downtown Office build

more than 81 ZOO, 900 for this strnc-

CITY WORK CALLED
MANS DEADLIEST FOE

By international Labor News Service
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-"The country
is far more favorable to human life
than the city," asserted Warren s.
Thompson of the Scripps Foundation,
Miami University, in an address be-
fore the American Sociological So
ciety here. "The deadliest enemies Of
man at the present time," he con-
tinued, "are not disease, war and
famine, but the industrial conditions
of the cities. They not only take
their heavy toll in deaths, but prevent
their victims from participating in
the future because they sterilize
them"
While he asserted that mo intelli-
gent rural health program can be
formulated by any rural community
until it is able to take stock of its
health conditions in detail" DIR.
Thompson drew certain contrasts be-
tween the rural and urban popula-
tions based on the information now
available.
"The proportion of married women
in the child-bearing ages is somewhat
greater in rural than in urban COM
munities. Moreover, preponderantly
rural states have lower death rate
than those with larger urban popu-
lations. The advantages that rural
communities possesses in the matter
of death rates.. DIR. Thompson as
serted "are not due, except in rare
instances to any organized health
work. The country merely reflects
conditions naturally more favorable
to human living"

GILMAN Finds
MORE errors

T. A. Gilman or Portage, has
discovered more errors and indica-
tions of errors" made by the states
clerical force in compiling educa-
ton reports. These may be found
in Biennial Report (1922-1924) on
page 1913, table 20, and on page 1919,
table 26a.
Under the division of Rural
County Normal Schools, the teach
ing cost in Rock county is given as
$67,995.53 in the first tabulation
and $500 in the second. The
first total quoted above very likely
should be $6,799.53, as the total
disbursement for the Rock county
school is given as $9,138.91-and,
as a part, the teaching cost" could
not exceed the total Of all expendi-
lures. Ii the presumed cost fig
ures are correct, there is a cleri-
cal error in the teaching cost item
of $61, 196-a mere bagatelle, you
may say, when you note the mil
lions that education costs in the
state; and you might add that
more thorough training in simple
arithmetic should be required in
the clerical force. Reports that
are incorrect are valueless.
And again. The figures given
in the first tabulation as the total
teaching cost in rural normals in
the -$304,351.94-Includes the
erroneous item of 67995.53, which
must necessarily be SCI, 1876, more
than was actually expended in the
state normals in teaching cost.
A minor error also occurs in the
printed total in the second tabula-
tiOn-this time, only cents, as the
closing decimal should be 80, in
stead of SO.
But as in the case of a previous
discovery of error by Mr.. Gilman,
"the department may be able to
explain"
