Thursday, March 20, 1930 It is said that stocks are worth ten times what they really earn and if we could rate individuals the same way we know a lot of men who would feel pretty cheap. § FINEST DISPLAY OF MEMORIALS IN CHICAGO 5751 RAVENSWOOD AVENUE â€"â€" Phone Long Beach 4646 J. H. ANDERSON MONUMENT CO. The Citizens State Bank of Glencoe has recently formally opened its new quarters in the handsome building at the southeast corner of Park and Vernon avenues, recently completed, and which is the property of Fred L. Rice, who is well known in Highland Park, having conducted a Chicago newspaper agency in all towns from Wilmette to Highland Park for many years. The reproductions of photographs above indicate the beauty of appointments of the new bank.

The government would be instantly taken over by a small group of mulatto politicians, who are the ruling class and whose predecessors for a hundred years held the country under the doom of plunder and pilâ€" liage, of such a saturnalia of crimâ€" inal excesses and murder as the world has not known outside of Russia. Haiti has a population of 2,500,000 people; of. these more than 95 per cent are absolutely illiterate, for the most part groveling in abject poverty. These blacks could have no more libâ€" erty under their five per cent of yelâ€" low rulers than could a toad under the hypnotizing gaze of the snake about to swallow it. Without Ameriâ€" can assistance, direction, control and protection to these "black peasants" Haiti would at once resume her revâ€" olutions, butcheries, assassinations and indescribable tyrannies. Marvelous Achievement The achievements of this governâ€" Talk of Withdrawal from Haiti Absurd, : Would Mean Anarchy THE PRES 8 ment in Haiti have been nothing less than marvelous, The government‘s colossal debt steadily has been reâ€" duced and a cash surplus accumulated for the first time in the history of the country; banditry has been supâ€" pressed and order maintained ,fbâ€"ee pressed and order muint‘inod throughout the republic, soâ€"called. This government has created there the greatest asset a nation may posâ€" sessâ€"a network ‘of good roads, which has opened up what would for genâ€" erations have remained inaccessible areas. We practically have banished the loathsome diseases which so long cursed the people of the island. We have introduced sanitary laws and made over cities dedicated to degradâ€" ation and filth. We have made phenâ€" omenal progress in the development of agricultural and industrial schools. We have minimized collective murder ‘and suppressed the human sacrifice required by the rites of jungle vooâ€" dooism. The President‘s commission of inâ€" quiry may learn ‘all this, but they should not be permitted to be content with information gathered at Portâ€" auâ€"Prince. They should be sent among the black peasantry to live a bit after the departure of the Uniâ€" ted Statee Marines.â€"Cincinnati Enâ€" quirer. at the lower left and the interior at the right.
