WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, 1930 JACOB J. WISE The father of Massillon's parks is dead.

The citizen who, with keen vision, 15 years ago saw happy children playing in what at the! lime were cow pastures; families seated at tables; placed where'then were thistles; men and women from and stifling kitchens on benches beneath spreading oaks and maples, previously monopolized by lowing kine, is gone. Death has closed those far-seeing eyes, stilled hands that ever were ready to serve the community and laid low a determined spirit. But the memory of the possessor of these worthy attributes is destined, lo live as long as Massilion stands. For the parks for which the late Jacob J. Wise, in the face of hostility and derision was responsible for creating, will be the last of the community's possessions to be sacrificed upon any altar save that of the public welfare- and those who visit them may appropriately bless his name.

"Jake" Wise was a friend of' everybody, lie held a number of important public offices because of his ability and the confidence and esteem in which he was held by his fellow-citizens. He was a hard campaigner but when the tide of battle, turned against him. a good loser. To him his political fights were impersonal fights and as soon as the votes were counted he received modestly or extended graciously congratulations. He served as mayor of Massilion, as clerk of Stark county courts and state senator.

To his friends he was known as "Senator." While in the state'legislature he fought consistently for anti-screen bill which returned to Ohio coal miners remuneration for coal which went through the screen and previously had enriched none but the operators. He joined in the fight actuated by a sense of justice. Through his sponsorship of the famous Mas- Tigers, who won the world's professional football championship, Mr. Wise endeared himself to every sport-loving citizen and unconsciously made of himself a god in the eyes of i'Tassillon youth. Mr.

Wise, always interested in sport, watched the organization and development of the Mas- silion Tigers under the tutelage of Coach Edward Stewart, into the greatest gridiron fighting ma- qhine the world had ever seen. Sensing the popularity of the team, Mr. Wise, ever ready to assume leadership in civic projects, consented to act as its business representative, lie went to Massilloivs wealthier citizens and raised a large fund. He went to New York and secured a contract with "Red" Salmon probably quietly watched the development of pride and interest in the parks with pleasure that must have thrilled his soul. What Mr.

Wise at times may have thought impossible to give to the city, no.power on earth now could lake away. The people who protested the development of parks because of threatened increases in tax rates are now ready to fight for their retention and maintenance. After nearly a quarter of a century the public has come to see what Mr. Wise saw clearly in 1907. it would be eminently fitting and proper if recognition of Mr.

Wise's efforts were taken by the city by naming one of its parks in his honor. The city has just taken title to a large tract of new park land. Why not call one part of it "Wise park?" Certainly, Mr. Wise is entitled to the honor for, without question, it was his foresight and labor which laid the foundation for the park system of Massilion as we know it today. Mr.

Wise is gone but his good works go marching on. He is destined to be a benefactor of countless generations to come. His name should be perpetuated in the memory of his fel- low citizens whom he served so unselfishly and well. SPEAK-EASY TROUBLES WEDNESDAY.

His lot is not a happy one. The New York World made a poll of 200 speak-easies in the metropolis "with no other purpose than to offer the views of the men actually engaged in the illegal liquor traffic. It found them overwhelmingly in favor of modification, for reasons which the World considers "astounding." Graft and extortion are the two chief reasons for their attitude. Other reasons are: "Extreme hazard due to possible official raids; "Fear of hold-ups; gunmen know that police will not receive complaints from their victims; "Possible loss of total investment by padlock; "Rents doubled because of padlock possibilities "Business small and uncertain compared with pre-war wet restaurants; "Nun-paying customers (policemen and their friends); "Social stigma placed on speak-easy owner and his family: "Loss of high class patronage because of home delivery."

To the Editor of The Independent: I noticed in Friday's paper, the editorial about Canton and her desire to annex territory. I agree with the editor about Reedurban belonging as much to Massilion as Canton.

If Canton lias her way concerning certain industries and the annexation of territory, and Massilion leaves her have her way, it's safe to say that in time to come. Canton will have it all and Massilion will be more or less of a one-horse town. I wonder if half of the citizens and especially the business men of Mas- siHon know that the Bell Telephone company of this town, will in a short while be in Canton. Of course with the dial system, the- switching machines will still be here. The operating force will be in that means our business handled mostly by Canton people.

Jg that fair to a city with the population of Massil- ion? Why cannot Massilion own and maintain such a business industry here? If that isn't taking money out of our town, I would like to know what is? I would like to see Canton prosper as well as any other community, but why must we suffer from it?

WATERWAY PROGRESS the greatest back-line man American football ever produced, to come to Massfllon and take part in the battle of titans in which Willie Hcs- ton played, as it proved ineffectively, for Canton.

When the clamor and shouting had ceased a'nd the smoke of battle lifted, Mr. Wise returned to his regular pursuits refusing to accept his full mede of credit for having made Massilion in the realm of sport. His friends insisted that he accept from them a testimonial dinner and a diamond ring which he wore to the end of his days.

Now the chief of army engineers recommends that the federal government definitely take over the project and carry it to completion, and the House rivers and harbors committee approves.

The state of Illinois has appropriated $20,000,000 for the job, nearly all of which is already spent. The federal government, it is estimated can complete the nine-foot channel for $7.500,000, and can maintain and operate it for $223,000 a year. It can be fed from Lake Michigan with as little as 1,000 cubic feet of water a second, which would not hurt lake levels. It looks like a practical enterprise, in keeping with the enlarged views of the nation on internal waterway expansion. Any feasible plan for connecting and extending the two great inland systems of navigation, the Mississippi and the Great Lakes, wilj be of benefit to the whole countrv.

What had that blatherskite of a Mertie Pecklnpaugh said? He might- have ruined her with his 'blabbing. She didn't want to show her worry and Suwnnee could see that she was upset. He tried to make Suwanee sat back and looked at her with a glitter of indulgence in his fat eyes. "By golly, you're certainly hittin' the high spots, Elanda!

Next day "Bunk" was missing. A search of Sheepshead Bay failed to disclose his whereabouts. Mr. Robins applied the scientific methods of the modem day detective to his quest, -but to no effect. Grief settled down upon the Robins demesne, thick as powder on a burley-cue queen's snoot.
