Typical American Career

Dwight Whitney Morrow wa.
born Jan. II, 1873, at Huntington
w. Va, the fourth of eight chill.
dren of James Elmore Morrow, al
that time president of Marshal
college.
His career is another typically
American success story, although
he actually never knew poverty
The income of his father never ex-
ceedsd $4,000.
When he was IA, young Morrow
was graduated from high school
with honors and then went to work
for four years as an errand boy and
clerk in the county treasurer's Office
at Pittsburgh.
He wanted an education, bus
money was scarce SO he took the
examination for West Point, passed,
but was not appointed because his
elder brother already had gone there
and the local congressman did not
want to appoint two boys from the
same family.
Worked Way Through Amherst
In 1891, he entered Amherst col
lege, working his way through as a
tutor. His classmates voted MIN
the member of the class most
likely to succeed" when he was
graduated in 1895. Morrow, himself,
voted for slender, quiet HAP
named Calvin Coolidge, who was his
classmate.
After graduation, Morrow earned
enough money at odd jobs in Pitts
burgh and put himself through the
Columbia Law School and then he
joined a New York law firm as a
clerk. Seven years later he had
advanced himself to a partnership
in the firm.
Morrow preferred work as a nego-
tiator. an arranger, and an expert
adviser He gained wide business
experience and in 1914 his neighbors
at Englewood, N. j., Henry Post
Dawson and Thomas w. Lamont,
invited him to become a partner
in the world-famouS house of
Morgan.
Morrow demonstrated his ability
in the vast deals made by the Nor
gan firm during the World war
when that business organization
became money lender to the world
Great Service in Mexico
When the United States entered
the World war, Morrow was APP
pointed to the allied boards of
transport and supply and served as
civilian adviser at the A. E. F.
headquarters in France. He was
credited with playing a large part
in keeping the great streams of
men and materials flowing steadily
to Europe. He dropped out of
public life few years after the
war.
In 1925, President Coolidge, who
had lived UP to Morrow'S vote as the
classmate most likely to succeed, .
appointed him chairman of the
board which investigated military
aviation after General William
Mitchells fiery charges.
Morrow's greatest public service
came with his appointment as am
bassador to Mexico when he found
relations strained almost to the
breaking point and left them better
than they had ever been before.
President Rubio said:
Il consider Ambassador Morrow
one Of the greatest diplomats in
the world"
After his return from Mexico, he
entered the United States senate.
His last big public task was to
attend the naval conference in Lon
don as one of the American dele
gates.

City'S 10 SteedS,

The clty'S ten police horses, which

board to reduce expenses, today, won
temporary respite from return to
civilian life when the board failed
to receive satisfactory bids for their
sale.
Two proposals had been received
by noon today, deadline for submit
ting bids, but neither bid was as
high as the police mounts were APP
praised and, consequently, could not
be accepted, it was announced.
Board members we're undecided as
to future action in regard to sale of

MAYORS GROUP
Three Firms to Submit Plan

District.

Formal proposals for sale of ma
tural gas to the city utility district
and the Citizens Gas Company, will
be received at next Monday by

of which indicated a desire to sub
nit proposals several months ago,
Deery said.
Sealed proposals actually were
submitted to the gas committee last
summer by two companies, but were
returned unopened in order to give
third company time to submit a
proposal.
Industries Seek Service
Negotiations for purchase of nat
ural gas were started in prepara-
ton for acquisition by the city util-
ity district of the Citizens Gas
Company, under provisions of its
charter, and also in response to de-
mand of number of local indus
tries who desire natural gas serv-
ice in order to reduce operating
costs of their plants.
These industries, banded together
as the Manufacturers Natural Gas
Association, recently were denied
the right to lay independent natural
gas mains to their plants by the
public service commission.

Out in Seattle the people
have just ousted a mayor
through the process of the re-
call, and they did not act on
any foolish impulse. They had
elected a business man for
mayor" and in the mayoralty
he appears to have thought of
himself as a private business
man rather than as a servant
of the people. The people OF
Seattle have their own ideas
about the relation of public
utilities to the people.
They rather liked j. D. Ross,
who was the heao of the City
Light Department, but he was
not at all liked by some OF the
public utilities and so the
business man for mayor" dis
missed him: and then the peo-
pie dismissed the mayor in a
recall election. There seems to
be some relation between gov
ernment and the people in
Seattle.
Ross, after his dismissal, was
summoned by the State Of New
York as a consultant in the

measure he could not escape
facing his people. They in
surged against Mr.. Hoover's
plan. Mr.. Reeves had to fight
for the denomination from his
own, and the Presidents party.
The President did the unique
thing of injecting himself into
congressional primary and
personally appealed to the Re
publicans to renominate Reeves;
and Reeves, with the Presiden-
tial backing, got another nomi-
nation by the skin of his teeth.
And then in the election of the
people, including most Republi-
cans who had voted against his
denomination, defeated him over
whelmingly.
Since then the President has
found the power question in
politics very diStasteful; but
that question will stay in poll
tics until it is settled, and to
the satisfaction of the people.
AS Well Try to Keep
The Farm Question Out
AS well try to keep the farm
question out of politics. Just
now, with the farmers of Kan
sas getting rs cents a 5ushel
for the wheat they Sowed, tend
ed and harvested; with the Ad-
miniStratien'S Farm Board a
complete and tragic failure;
with that magic tariff rate on
wheat worth absolutely nothing
at all; with the farmers with
out money, or means of get
ting any; and with the bankers
and implement manufacturers
demanding that they pay what
they owe, the Kansas City Star
has a suggestion.
1t says editv4 lally:
eff the United States can re.
lieve Germany of $3.50, ,OOO, 900
in debts for . year, the Govern
ment can afford to pay $780,
600, ZOO to hold back its wheat;
if q foreign nation is entitled
to a moratorium, the American
wheat farmer should have one
from the governmental agency
that controls the wheat carry
over. The Farm Board should
act. If it is not ready to take
the plan demanded by the
wheat grower, let it come for
ward with a definite plan of
its own at once"
And the Kansas City Star
was one of the original Hoover
papers in 1928; has always
been of the Presidents party;
and was important enough to
be selected by Theodore RooSe-
velt as the medium of his views
after his Presidency.
