And he escorted her to the door,
shook hands with her.

On Town Meeting Idea

Invitations from the editor Of The Tribune TO us read
ers for expressions Of opinion on public issues IS on inc
same line as the old town meeting. City governments
have become so complicated and their ramifications SO
s,ndrv and diverse. that it is exceedingly hard sometimes
m hear the vox populi. Too often the voters are irartic-
,late except q few weeks before election or when tney
nav their tax bills. That ordeal over, they lapse into
an indifference which at times is even nara LOT inc Guy
servants to bear. For the most part, punhc OFFICIALS
want expressions of opinions from the electorate. III

The Tribune throws open its columns to a Tree, fair ana
temperate discussion OF any TOPIC Oh general "'ctco'
touching on the public veal. =.
A more democratic participation IN government woulo
hr,nr better government. Attendance at tax budget
framing on the part Of the taxpayers would bring about
a better understanding. Interest shown by the city resi-
dents when some major project Is under consideration
would help solution Of such issues. But sucn partlclpa-
tion is hard of accomplishment. The town meeting Is
unwjeldy in this day and generation. Our government
is getting farther and farther away from the Individual.
There is, however. a check on SUCH a conoiuon over
which none of us has any control, and that Is by a free
discussion Of live issues in the press. The Tribune will
attempt to answer questions on national, state or city
government which perplex its readers. It wants to
render a real public service through these columns to
the end Of better government.
Mr.. Tavis has suggested q live issue which has two
aspects. The state and the city are interested vitality In
the solution of the street car problem. No one wishes
service impaired and there is no politics. city or state,
back Of the agitation. The whole situation is one OF
civic betterment. Is it wise to continue the present sys-
tenn which impedes traffic on two Of the principal streets
or 1,ould it better the transportation facilities to have
: bus line operating to the state capitol and other points
IN the city?
No question can be decided without hearing from all
sides. Mr.. Tavis has called for such a free and unbiased
discussion.
Tho Tribune hopes that, out Of the discussion which
viii follow the Tavis letter. the perplexing street car
question will be settled to the best of all interests con-
cerned.
Here Is q chance to make . town meeting out Of The
Tribune columns.

Something very unusual seems to be going on IN the
animal world. The latest news from South Africa
tells how . lion. chasing an antelope across the veldt,
leaped squaiely into q tourists automobile. Fortunately.
~ promptly leaped out again, 50 that nobody was hurt.
Just before that the dispatches related that q man in

his flsts. And just before that we were assured that an
Ontario woman was carried Oft by another bear. to be
released when her screams vexed the animal beyond en-

New Honors for Kellogg

Election Of Former Secretary Of State Kellogg to the
World Court honors a man long prominent in the legal
circles Of the Northwest. He first came into national
prominence as Teddy" Rooseveltis trust buster. A cor
poration attorney serving chiefly the steel trust and the
railroads, his selection caused surprise and considerable.
editorial comment at the time.
His association with the Roosevelt regime put Kellogg
tout In front" in national politics. He served Minnesota
q national Republican committeeman and United States
senator. When his friend Roosevelt. went Bull Moose"
and urged the recall of judicial decisions. Mr.. Kellogg
effaced himself politically and kept quiet. He kept regu-
Lar in his political alignments. however, and when the
Bull Moose epidemic passed. he was found working for
the rehabilitation of the Republican, party in Minnesota.
The agrarian agitation which placed Magnus johnson
and shipstead in the senate retired Kellogg from active
politics in Minnesota. but his ability had won such recog-
milton in Washington that he was sent to the court Of
st. James end then recalled to = cabinet position.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A Little U~nderweight Not Dangerous
Question: Mrs. q. A. s. asks: "Will
you advise me what to do with my
little 11-year-old girl who is just ex-
actly IL pounds underweight for her
height and age, according to the
school doctors opinion. She is hap
py and lively. and every doctor that
has examined her has told me that
she is perfectly healthy. However,
her appetite seems poor"
Answer: You must not be alarmed
because your daughters weight is
under what the school scale Is for
that age and height. Invariably the
healthiest children are slightly under
weight. and those who are over
weight r more subject to the in
fictitious diseases of childhood. If you
will be careful that she does not eat
between meals you will find that she
will be digesting her food better, and
will probably come to a more normal
weight without making any changes
In her diet. Be sure that she does not
use candy or cookies between meals,
and do not give her bread and butter
when she comes home from school.

Are They Using Poison Now?

1t is more than usually startling to learn that poison
caused the death Of State Senator John 7. Joyce in Chi
cago-who died, you may remember, two days before he
was to have testified concerning ~gangland activities at
the polls in the spring primaries.
Just at present the man in the street cannot quite tell
whether this poison was self administered or not; In
other words, whether Senator Joyce committed suicide
or was murdered.
If the latter proves the case, Chicago's gangs must be
given credit for a new bit of ingenuity. Heretofore the
revolver, the machine gun and the bomb have been their
weapons. Are they, now, becoming prisoners as well?
