THT MANOR'S MESSAGE
 DUE THIS WEEK

This is rhe week when the mayor extends his annual message to the city. It usually IS an interesting and vital document, containing resume o' all controversial subjects relative 10 the city's affairs. l. is The time Of the year when the mayor has a chance to have his say with tho entire city listening,
 The mayor can do no more than sugges' or make recommendations. Some of hjs recommendations of last year have not yet been follow ed out; others have.
 All indications point 10 the fact nat the mayor this year will have important matters 10 bring before citigers. and # is 10 ho hoped that his suggestions will he viewed from an bipartisan standpoint Nothing ls 50 detrimental 10 civic Wcll-being han to have public questions de- cided upon basis Of politics, The city has had some of this and needs no more of it. Citizens want prog res, not politics The mayor him. self has taken prominent Republi- cans, such as Senator Hall, into his confidence and relies upon them for vital information regarding the city's needs; there is no logical req son why there should not be a simi- lar concession 10 the common veal rom the other side The grasping Of all committee chairmanships re- cnntDy was not a good beginning, but tt can he overlooked if cooperation nd not cynical opposition to the mayor is 10 foHow.
 There are no serious problems confronting the city but there are a multiplicity of small problems which will have 70 be settled eX- pcditiously and well 10 conserve the present and future interests of the city. The mayor undoubtedly will give tho clue 10 many such matters in his annual message and his rec commentators ought to whet the desire for action and nullify the de- sire for useless discussion which ire quently mars many good intentions
 The city will receive the message with an open mind and bounce upor the declarations Of municipal princi' pies with avility Good citizens car do no better than weight his word! upon the scales of analysis and cul' tivate the urge to proceed with pre- rjson and dispatch,

The inventor Of balloon tires is to come into his own. Alden L. Put nam Of Detroit was laughed at in 1920 when he brooched the crazy Idoa' regarding the tires, The patent office has recognized Putnam as the original patentee of the bal loon tires and now there are mill lions Of money due him from tire manufacturers, who later appro- priatod The idea, not knowing and not caring who invent ed it. Whether Mir. Putnam can collect his royalties is a different matter. There is no question but that he is entitled to 'hem. The patent office exists to stimulate invention by making it worth while 10 invent, but many an inventor has wondered, after his brain child las been appropriated and changed around a bit, whether # s,uays functions as it is supposed e ao.

 Washington, May IS. Word from France that several American automobile parties are in, or at any rato on the edge of the Moroccan war gone, is causing acute uncpsi- ness here. It's a wild country, Of wandering trlbesmen, with pictur- esque native village here and there and spice of peril.
 Adventurous tourists like fl. The emphasis, however, on the item Of peril is rather too heavy to be pleasant just now, The Gallic mill tary authorities are discouraging civilians from running into danger but the reckless ones are hard to control.
 Washington officials are not much afraid Abd-el-Krim, the chief rebel, will kill any Americans he may catch, except by accident. He kills Spaniards, whom he particularly dislikes, but so far as known he has nothing against the United States.
 What is considered likelier is that he'll hold American captives to ransom. He does this even with Spaniards if their friends have money enough to be worth while. Occasionally. when somebody's rela- tives are slow in remitting, he sends in one of the prisoners ears, as n gentle reminder.
 Officials are aware in ad'ance that anything of this kind practlced on an American would start a ter 1 ribIe howl, not only from the vic tim, btu here at home, as we'll vehement demands that something be done" And it might be very hard to think up anything effective | dN

2s,O0O,000 HORSES DEFY AUTOMOBILES

Statistics tell us that there are as many horses and mules Tn the coun- 1 try today as there were in 1900. They have not advanced in propor- ton 10 the population, but they still exist, The total equine populs- ton today is estimated at 26,00o,oOO head. The total Of automobiles IS 17.ono,0oO in use.
 When the automobile first came into general use the opinion was freely expressed that the doom ot the horse was certainty. His doom on city streets, it must be admitted, has been nearly according 10 pre- dictions; but there is a wide eX- panse of land in this country and the horse has found haven Of rel uge where the blow tills the fur rows and the song of the bird IS part or CAlSlepCC'
 Not even the farm tractor and other intricate farm machinery has spelled the doom of the horse on 1 the farm. The animal seems to have uses that no amount of mechanical i ingenuity can eclipse.
 The lend of the horse" has been lamented for a century. The Proyl- dcnce Journal calls attention to the fact that when the Erie canal was nroiocted farmers along the route concluded that there would be no longer any profits in raising horses for market. But their fears were unfounded, and the animal held lts own in the early history Of the na- tion until the steam railroad came along; and then there were some more baselcss fears, Finally when the automobile appeared, there hlos.omed certainty that the horse would disappear. But instead of disappearing he has been mercy a;s,Iaced. his use in cities has de- generated to the vanishing point hut on the farm he remains quite a necessary adjunct of the business. The American farmer is greatly addicted to fivyers. He no longer uses a horse and buggy with when ,o go to town.

The state department recalls that President Roosevelt had such case 10 deal with once minus the de- tall of the amputated ear. It was that Of naturalized American - he was born Greek --- ferdiearis, who was kidnapped for ransom by the Moroccan bandit Raisuli, Per AicarIs alive or Raisuli dead," was "Tcddys" cebled ultimatum to the sultan. It worked that time. The sultan dug up the ransom himself. But there's no sultan 10 cable 10 now. An uit!matum might be served on Abd- -krlm but the French and Spanish impression Is that he's ultimatum proof.
 Speaking Of the sultan reminds inc state department Of another experience with the same ruler. A Chicago private banker named Stohsland had skipped with deposi- tors money. He turned up in Mor- oCco. The state department asked for him. Not" said the sultan, while his money lasts" There was no cx- tradition with Morocco then. As- sistant District Attorney (now Judgcl Harry Olson of Chicago went over to see about il. He culti- lated the sultan socially - became his warm friend. Then he asked for Stcnsland - just as a friend. "As sultan" replied the monarch, "wt have our dignity to consider. We cant surrender him, but perhaps : hell so voluntarily"
 And he ordered Stensland locked Up. Anybody who knows the inside Of a Moroccan prison knows why, in a couple Of days, the captive sent for Olson and begged for the luxury.o Joliet.
