He has broken away- from nearly all of I his friends instrumental in putting'him in office and ^ he alone is the one to blame for the unwise policy ^ pursued recently. Talk is occasionally heard c against kicking a man when he is down, but the i] mayor would not be in this position had it not been for his own stubbornness which has brought out so ^ prominently the fact that he is not a man big o enough for mayor. Friends of both Bidaman and P Lints were opposed to the “vindication” of Lints by» ^ a reinstatement as head of the police department, j As a detective he had fallen into a comfortable o berth out of the limelight, occupying a position b where no one cared much what kind of a record he g was making. The difference in salary is only s twenty-two dollars a month. Had Lints been a true c friend of Bidaman or willing to go through as much ^ for the mayor as Bidaman has for him he would have surrendered the little difference in salary. His “vindication” has been a farce. And in being “vindi- t cated” he has sacrificed all hope there may have been of remaining 011 the police force under Mayor- ” elect Lyons. aActivity among the gamblers indicates they are e preparing to resume play in upstairs rooms. It is jj reported a number of the up-town gaming rooms y have been fitted up ready to begin playing. sPresident Kantzleiter of the board of safety Q strongly opposed the “phony” order issued by the c board of safety last Friday to put the lid on again, n “You can’t fool those fellows that way,” said Mr. r Kantzleiter, referring to the Manufacturers’ club. t( He admitted he did not think there was any inten- y tion of enforcing the order when it was made. Now the question has arisen whether George Lints as superintendent of police is acting under the saety ® board’s orders or whether the safety board is sub- ^ ject to his whims. h^ tlt;George Lints is the 011I3'' political adviser con- ^ suited by Mayor Bidaman, according to his old ^ time friends. The chief of police is to be found at s Bidaman’s home at almost all hours of the day and h night. One by one the early advisers of the mayor ” have been side tracked until Lints is the only one ^that remains. 1CAn explanation of Fire Chief Leonard's action in ^ sending a telegram cancelling the order made by u Safety Board No. 2 for new fire apparatus and send- IEmg a second message asking that the instructions ^in the first telegram be countermanded as soon as there was talk of impeaching the mayor, is due. Perhaps it may be explained satisfactorily.' There is no doubt of both telegrams being sent.Another tour of inspection that proved both profit- 1 able and a source of much' pleasure was made t Wednesday night by the Young Business Men’s club. d which was the guest of the Commercial Distilling company, More than two hours was required to go through the plant. Closed carriages were provided by John E. Beggs and Tom Beggs to convey the members from the Ohio street club house. This arrangement was an agreeable surprise. Many qf the members v did not take the trip- supposing the rain would make 5 a long walk in the mud from the street car line a disagreeable feature. Cnele Sam derives five dollars and fifty cents from every bushel of corn ground at the Commercial, a bushel of corn producing five gal- si Ions of spirits. There is a revenue of a dollar ten cents on each gallon. When the consumption is six thousand bushels a day the government receives nearly $35,000 every twenty-four hours. The present a
