Magnificent Triumph

THE Oriental institute, built upon
Il the campus of the University
OF Chicago at a cost of $I,5OO.O00,
represents a magnificent triumph
Tor Professor James H. Breasted.
For forty years DR.. Breasted has
been devoting his time to the re-
covery for modern civilization of
the story of mans rise from pre-
historic savagery.
Almost single-handed he orga-
nlzed the greatest concerted effort
ever made for unearthing of lost
chapters in history of the ancient
world.
The Oriental institute has five
exhibition halls devoted to Egyptian
Assyrian, AsSyro- BabyIonian. Per-
Sian-Moslem. and Hittite- Palestin-
ian civilizations. The institute is
carrying on research work in these
five fields
The institute was made possible
by the generosity of John D. Rookie
Teller Jr., coupled with gifts from
the general education board. the in
ternational education board, julius
Rosenwald. Theodore w. Robinson.
Robert P. Lamont, Henry j. Patton,
and others.
DR.. Breasted's interest in ancient
civilizations developed when he was
a student at the Chicago Theolog-
lcal seminary. 1t came about
through his study of the Hebrew
language.
He determined to learn more
about the ancient Hebrews than
was to be found in available litera-
ture.
His first trip to Egypt was also
his honeymoon. That was in 1894.
His entire equipment consisted of a
donkey and a camera.
Today the expeditions working
under his general direction include
some of the finest-equipped in
history.

StraddLing Difficult

MO doubt, both parties would be
IN glad to straddle the prohibi-
ton issue again, but their ability to
do so is growing more and more
doubtful.
They are going to be subjected
to real pressure this time.
The taxes ordinary people must
pay because bootleggers pay none,
will serve to increase the pressure.
Folks are beginning to realize that
about all prohibition has done is
finance racketeering, instead of the
government.
BY the time they have bought
few Scent stamps, paid for the
right to sell stock and see a movie,
or contributed their share of bal
ancing the federal budget in other
numerous ways, they are going to
be sure of their ground.

Resentment Grows
slump in business and reve

THE slump in business and reve-
Il nue. has reused ordinary peo-
pie to the cost of prohibition.
The nuisance taxes which con-
gress now is adopting will do more
to rouse them.
BY next June, when the national
conventions meet, we should have
a well articulated popular sentiment
on this question.
One could ask no better illustra-
ton of the advantages of demo-
cratic government.
Except as public opinion may
force change, heaven only knows
how long we might be compelled
to pursue the noble experiment. "

GERMANS MASS FOR ATTACK
ADriI

ON April 1, 1918, German troops,
~ stopped in the great drive, were
reported massing on the western
side of the salient formed in the
allied lines for blow at Amiens
and the Channel ports.
French and British troops, weary
from ten days of terrific combat,
took advantage of the slight IuIl in
operations to fortify and improve
their positions.
German attacks on Grivesnes
were repulSed by the French. Sew
eral new French divisions were
within the battle zone and much
of the strain on allied positions had
been relieved.
British troops in Palestine con-
tinued their offensive and an
nounced the capture of villages near
Aleppo. Turkish resistance was re-
ported weakening.
The liner Celtic was torpedoed of
the Irish coast, but was able to
make port.
Paris was bombarded by the long
range German gun. Casualties were
not announced.

Just a Hand Out

Caught with the goods, the electric
monopoly has tossed crumb to the public
in the way of small concession on rates.
The saving in taxes and by the consumer
amounts to little, less than half of what it is
estimated the company takes each year in ex-
cessive charges for coal which it buys from
it's own subsidiary
Of course the new rates mean something
and are confession that the company and
the public service commission were imposing
on the public, when less than month ago,
the petition of the city was dismissed with
out hearing on the statement that no re-
duction was possible.
The appeal for new hearing on the pc
ttion came after The Times had exposed the
fact that there was grave discrepancy be-
tween the figures given to the public by pub
lie service commissioner Cuthbertson and
those published by the company when it
offered stock to the public
That should have caused some resent
ment or some curiosity on the part of
Cuthbertson. But instead there was hasty
and secret revision of rates and no effort to
bring to light any inquiry as to which figures
were correct.
The petition for new rates came after The
Times suggested that under any theory of
justice, the theory of reproduction valuation
should be applied in times of debated prices
for labor and materials as it was in days of
initiation.
The city administration and the South
Side Civic Clubs made the demand. The COM
pany said nothing could be done.
Instead of public hearings, such as are
contemplated by law instead of official
audits and appraisals, there have been secret
negotiations carefully clustered by Cuthbert-
son so that no fact has reached the public.
Now the people are given reduction of
IL cents month on their lighting bills and
the city saves cent on it's tax levy
The tax for power, important to industry
and a direct Influence upon unemployment,
remains the same.
The tax for all the electric appliances re
mains the same.
The company can continue with its trick
cry in it's coal purchases. It's unconscionable
contract with insult for Juice at high cost re-
mains in force. The huge tax for engineering
fees and management are charged to oper-
alton. The losses in competitive business are
still made good by the people.
Not one of the practices, in violation of
the spirit and perhaps the letter of the public
utility law, is to be abandoned.
Aside from the small saving and cOnces-
sion, all that has been demonstrated is the
power of this utility to control government,
to laugh at law, to regard the people as serfs
in their feudal barony.
In comparison with the rates in Kansas
City, Kan. municipality owned plant, the
rates here are extortionate to degree
Of course, other citizens can again ask
for relief. A group of power and commercial
users can file a new petition. And the next
legislature will find the subject most inter
esting.
The people had asked for justice. They
get hand out, such as might be given as a
tip to a taxi driver or a nickel to the apple
salesman on the corner.
But there should be no belief that any
thing like justice has been done.

forced the children to continue, Of

Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, Texas

GILMORE OFFERS
NEEDED BALANCE
In MOTOR FUEL

To meet the varying conditions
of motor travel encountered by
practically every motorist in his
uaily driving, a gasoline must de-
velop perfectly balanced multi
power efficiency, according to B.
A. Rowell, manager refined oil
sales, Gilmore Oil company, mar
keters of the new Red Lion gaso-
line.
Heretofore, refiners have been
content to produce a gasoline that
possessed such qualities as would
start quick at a sacrifice of long
mileage, or a gasoline that wouldn't
knock, but sacrificed both power
and mileage says Rowell.
TO work out a type of gasoline
that would give as near 100 per
cent efficiency under all driving
conditions was the job we gave our
engineers and they went to work
AS each step was developed, it was
tried out on the speedway, and if
it failed to pass the test, the eX-
periments we're continued. Success
finally was attained, and the new
Gilmore Red Lion gasoline is the
answer.
This new gasoline combines for
the first time in petroleum history
the essential qualities of high oc-
tanes, high test, high gravity, boil
ing points and Installations. The
result is perfectly balanced multi
power gasoline that gives the most
satisfying performance under all
conditions"
