PACE SIX A I Saturday, April 14, The Decatur Review PAPtR" Counting Votes. board ot' supervisors in naming elecUon judges and clerks owe something to the public In naming those who can handle the counting of the ballots in a reasonable time. No one expects the precinct committeemen to recommend expert in every precinct, but there should be persons in each precinct who are better equipped to fill the places than others. It does not seem reasonable that it would take more than twenty-four hours to count 400 ballots when some of the precincts reported almost complete totals of 200 to 300 ballots within six to eight hours -after the polls closed. There are complaints that Involve men as well as women, slow- Ing up the counting because they do not handle such work quickly and accurately.

Some of the delays In last Tuesday's primary count give little hope lor reasonable early returns unless the clerks are selected with more care and there is a school of Instruction, by some one experienced, In counting results. The board of supervisors can give a real service by seeing that this is done. Decent Chicago. New York Times: The political revolution in Chicago on Tuesday, at least in its sweeping extent, came as a surprise to most political observers. They had feared that the city was disgraced but not ashamed.

It had Ijeen both ridiculed and reproached for first electing and then tolerating a mountebank Mayor, but there were no clear signs that the citizens resented the growing ill-repute of Chicago and were determined to end it. Yet the overwhelming result on Tuesday proved that the goings on of Mayor Thompson had cut deep Into conscience of the ple of Chicago. They were not saying much, but it is now evident that they were framing a mighty resolve. At the first opportunity they would show what they thought of the Thompson machine and all its works. They did it by the most crashing repudiation that ever befell a complacent political charlatan.

Deneen to the Front. Senator Deneen, by Tuesday's primary, becomes more than the Republican leader in Illinois. He at once stepped Into the flark horse class as a presidential candidate. Deneen has not been mentioned often as a presidential possibility, although on this page several weeks ago the political calcuations of a Decatur man pointed to Senator Deneen as a choice when the deadlock comes in Kansas City. Carter Harrison, Democratic mayor of Chicago for five years, from his listening post in Paris, France, even predicts Deneen when the Hoover- Lowden forces get through arguing.

Deneen will be for Lowden until Lowdan is eliminated. Deneen is now the supreme dictator of federal affairs in Illinois. There may have been some indecision on this point in Washington before the primary with Thompson taking the limelight and attempting to "draft" Coolidge, to influence flood control, to btock Lowden delegates, to down Deneen and fight King George at the same time. Illinois by revolting against Small- Smith-Thompson put Senator Deneen to the front. with his South American flight, stole all the praise when the Frenchmen arrived In this country, but there still awaits a big welcome lor him if he makes the Paris-New York flight.

From Other Editors Just Folks By Edgar A. Guest (Copyright, Edgar A. Guest) PHILOSOPHY. Old Socrates had much to say He loved to play with words. He'd prove in a most solemn way That halves are more than thirds, And searching the unchanging truth He sat and talked away his youth.

He talked away his middle-age And died a poisoned wise old sage. Though Socrates is listed now With all our honored great, I often sit and wonder how That old man dressed and ate, While lie his days in talking spent Who earned the money for his rent? While proving like, unlike Is not, Who bought the soup bone for the pot? I see the plough boy in the Held, The carter on his cart, And think more happiness they yield Than all the brilliant smart. This world of ours has countless needs, The gain Is grown by planting seeds. Little is done by spinning tales, Man builds a house by driving nails. While wise men sit and talk and talk, The toilers everywhere Are building roads for men to walk, And ships to fly the air, Though words may have a sweeter sound, Whene'er I hear the hammers pound I know with every blow that rings That men are busy doing things.

Insanity Plea Again. An insanity plea lias stepped again and this time stayed the ex-j fcution 6f Charles Birger. If the! plea gains for Birger a further con- tinuatid'n of court clemency and com-' nutment to an asylum, it will be the enactment of the Remus case and othsr esses. In the Birger case, this gangster has been found guilty. The verdict stand.

Tne flaw in the court procedure is that accused persons are tried on serious charges and then the ffisan- ity plea follows. It Is a triBk to defeat justice. Insanity hearings should come first. Verdicts of insanity would then save a long and expensive triai or if sane, the verdict of the Jury in the case at issue would stand. The insanity plea is the Joker in American courts.

What People Ask Typ cal i a asked by those who The a Review's comm i service department, are published below, i correct answers. BOUT and ELSEWHERE WISH you would say something about the people who go to the theater and make life miserable for some one else, when Theater tire? stick their knee into the back of the manners chair in front of them so that they can lay down In their own seat," said a Lincoln Square patron as he left the theater after toe performance of "My Maryland." "That was a fine show and I en- Joyed it but I had a hard time doing it for the fellow Just back of me continually pushed my seat forward with a Jolt and a jab of his knee every time he moved. I don't Understand why people do not have more consideration for folks around them." Still another complaint was heard, this time from a woman. "Why is it tfiat people want to hold lengthy conversations in shows where you are trying to hear the words spoken on the stage instead of the conversation going on back of you. If those persons are not interested in what is being done on the stage why do they not get up and leave.

Decatur needs some theater manners. PJE was a little boy whom the stork had recently presented with a tiny baby brother. Also, he had been well trained, and was ac- Put in customed to saying his TW prayers before HlS Place hopping into bed. A few days after the birth of the little new brother, his father was hearing the aforesaid prayer, which always concluded with "God bless daddy and m'other" et cetera, and numerous petitions for future, good behavior, but this particular night, a new line or two was added. The father listened, but could not interpret the sleepy mumble.

Finally 'he asked what the youngster was saying. "Oh," yawned the prayerful one, "I'm Just hitching little brother on at the tail end where he belongs." Rambling Over New York MEW YORK--The far-famed "gay white way" no longer Is a mere dizzy glare of bright lights. It is one of the New York's most profitable industries. The battle for space upon which to hang the burning bulbs goes merrily on from month to month. Roof space is at a premium and old buildings, which once faced destruction of the wrecking crew, rent their exteriors for fabulous amounts while allowing the interiors to remain rotting shells.

Landlords have become quite willing to sacrifice rentals in order to sell parking space for electric signs. Choice corners and locations bring huge figures. With the cost of upkeep thus mounting, the same study is given to the bright light signs as marks the beginning of a big advertising campaign. Expert designers now plan the glistening displays and the effects are studied with the same care that a movie director takes in staging his crucial scenes. One of the best instances of this on Broadway today is the Madison Square Garden sign.

Since the key purpose of this huge display is to point out to the visitor and transient stroller the exact location of the new garden, four huge glittering arrows flash off and on so that none can mistake the direction. THOSE dramas "of the night club world, such as "Broadway," arc far from being mere figments of imagination. Tense drama, lurking behind tha peep-holes of the speakeasy door, often come to' light. Not long ago one was enacted in 45th street. Gorillas of the underworld were sent out to "get" a certain place.

The lookout man at the door was warned to keep careful guard. A few nights later, while peeping through his peep-hole in answer to the bell, he refused admission to a suspicious looking stranger. At his refusal a gun was whipped out and a bullet went crashing through the door. The doorman was hit in the arm. It was one of those situations where the "cops" couldn't be called.

Nor did the man wish to go to a public hospital and take the risk of having the affair get into the newspapers and thus bring the police down on the hide-away. Bleeding and pale, he went into the kitchen. A steel carving knife was carefully cleaned and, after taking a few shots of the bar's best brew, the doorman allowed the bullet to be cut out with this crude weapon. Bandaging up his wound, he went back to his post and stayed there until dawn came and the place closed up. Then he went to a doctor.

The story has become a minor classic in the long list of unwritten melodramas of the "big street." GILBERT SWAN. History of Decatur Q--Where Is the Grant tomb, and when was it built! A--The monumental tomb of Gen. U. S. Grant overlooks the Hudson River in Manhattan.

Edison, whose inventive-genius conceived the devices from whose manufacture have grown industries valued at fifteen and a half billion dollars, is receiving his first recognition from congress. A measure prepared at the suggestion of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, and already approved by the house coinage committee, has as its purpose tha presentation to Mr.

Edison ot a medal commemorating his achievements. The measure declares that "Thomas A. Edison has, demonstrated that inventive genius may be turned to a better and nobler purpose than the mere making of money, and has added more to the material elements of civilization, by his own inventions and what they have suggested to others, than any other man in the history of the world. "This government, under which Thomas A. Edison was bom," it adds, "and in which for more than a generation he has been an educational institution of the first rank, by arousing in the minds of young men some sense of the limitless possibilities of science when devoted to the service of man, has at no time seen fit to formally honor this one Individual who has such a firm hold on the popular imagination as to force men to watch what he is doing and hear what he is saying." Representative Randolph Perkins of New Jersey, chairman of the house 'coinage in commending the measure to the members said that Edison had applied for 1,338 patents and that the monetary value of the industries based upon his inventions or which had been materially stunu- THOMAS A.

These he divided as follows: Moving pictures, telephones electric railways, electric lighting, electric supplies, fixtures, $37,000,000, phonographs car shops, and motors, batteries, concrete, telegraph, wireless telegraph, $15,000,000. The medal was suggested by Secretary Mellon when the committee referred one of the various proposals for medals to the treasury department early this session.

Br RODNEY DUTCHER. Washington, Apr.

this year's uota of starving inventors adds ma- to the national death rate, ere's the reason: The Patent Office la clogged with i.OOO applications for patents. The hottest possible time in which any ew patent can be obtained is five ull months, which is plenty of time starve. Some of the divisions into bich the applications are distributed can't promise any hope for nine ionths. Of course if there are any ijections or other complications the uslness of getting a patent may take ars. MORE PATENTS.

The trouble is that invention is ac- ilerating and that the Patent Of- ce is short of help. Less than three ears ago there were only 45,000 pat- nts awaiting action and a few of the divisions were putting them through Ithln two months, plus the month hat the Government Printing Of- ce requires to print a patent. For two years the Patent Office ras allowed an extra force of exam- ners and then that was withdrawn. Jeginnlng in July about fifty more xaminers will be added, but that on't be anywhere near enough to atch up with the business unless Americans stop inventing'things. 550 EXAMINERS.

More than 550 examiners, most of lem underpaid, are now working like horses and each one' can han- le about fifty cases a month. About 00 examiners resigned last year to ccept more money elsewhere. Their alaries range from $1860 a year at 10 start to $3800 a year for division hiefs. These are professional men, cientifically and legally educated, nd trained intensively in patent -ork. Naturally, this large turnover experienced men of great value to service doesn't help matters a it.

If the economical Budget Bureau recommends some new help in the deficiency bill, conditions will mprove from the standpoint of in- ustry, inventors and examiners. The ast time the office was allowed an xtra hundred men for two years it an the arrears down from 74,000 to 9,000 cases. Total applications were 103,000 in 925 and 113,000 In 1927. COUNTRY BIGGER. "The country is growing bigger," ays Thomas E.

Robertson, commis- ioner of patents. "People come into more and more contact with ma- hinery and inventive minds are timulated. And whenever people are mt of work they apparently get busy making inventions. They have plenty time and are inspired with the lope that they may devise a short cut to wealth. "We have had a tremendous) increase in radio, automobile and avia- applications.

Nine of our mer are working on nothing but internal combustion engines. MONTH LONG ENOUGH. "Inventions shouldn't be held up more than a month. The present situation here means a drag on industry, aside from Its effect on the individual inventor. Extensive manu facture of a new invention means more employment and the sooner we get to producing it the Bui often important inventions are helc up by lack of patents.

Financing is withheld and all other plans concerning the promotion and production of the device are delayed. "But all we can hope for here Is action by congress or a marked slump in invention if we are to keep from running behind still further." 800 TO 1000 WEEKLY. Invention hasn't yet been organized to the point where the huge laboratories of big corporations monopolize both inventions and inventive tal- ent. That old-fashioned "Yankee Ingenuity," one is advised, is still on the job. Some of its products are feasible, but not for large scale commercial production.

Others are "freaks. From 800 to 1000 patents are granted every week and almost as many applications are refused. Some people ire still trying to invent perpetual motion machines--and fuelless motors. Women are entering 1 tho Invention Held in increasing numbers, according to Commissioner Robertson. UTILITIES SOUGHT TO PLACE VIEWS IN SCHOOL COURSES Washington, Apr.

14-- (A.P.)--The activity exercised by public utilities mbliclty organizations to bring out viewpoint In universities and colleges was laid before the Interstate commerce commission Friday during ts inquiry into public utility financing. A mass of documents and letters ntroduced' during the testimony of Rob Roy McGregor, assistant direct-, or of the Illinois committee on public utility information showed that the organizations were interested in the type of text books to be used in the schools and in forthcoming treatises college professors. FAVORABLE BOOKS. Among the letters offered were a number signed by John F. Gilchrist, chairman of the Illinois committee, in which the committee offered opportunities to economics.

and engineering professors in universities to write textbooks favorable to them. In addition, information on public utilities were offered along with the use of laboratories at Chicago and Illinois utility plants. In one of the letters Gilchrist stated that his organization would assist professors in marketing the text woks among utility companies. The Illinois committee learned of books being written by professors on public utilities and asked to see the manuscripts in order to make suggestions the documents revealed. In one letter Mr.

Gilchrist wrote R. H. Tucker of Washington and Lee university telling him that there was a lack of text books on public utilities and asking him to prepare material for a book and offered to help market it. UTILITY COURSES. The Illinois committee also encouraged the founding of public utility courses in universities.

Among more than 100 documents introduced was a survey by the committee of Illinois schools and colleges and books relating to all phases of political economy. Twelve fellowships and six scholarships at the University of Illinois "on economics of public utilities" were listed in another document. The donor was not divulged. Many of the exhibits related to comments of McGregor on various college professors as to whether they were "fair" or whether their "conclusions are as they should be."
