Alderman from the Second Ward Majority of People Voting Elect PomH The second ward is again represented on the city council. Z. J. Powell, the first chief of police for the present administration, yes terday defeated the other two candidates and will fill the unexpired term of Merle West, recently resigned. While The News was not supporting Mr. Powell for this post, we sincerely wish him well in his new office on the city governing board. We may not always agree with Mr. Powell just the same as we do not always agree with the other members of the council and the i.ayor but by the vote of a majority of the people voting, Z. J. Powell is now the alderman from the second ward. Cement Head, the Latest Well, Well Admit There's Lots of It In Chicago, where from the whirlpool of criminal courts have icsued forth many strange pleas from lawyers in defense of their clients on criminal charges, comes the latest, the "ce ment head." .' A prison official, alleged to have commit Jnegularities jn office, and who is now on trial, has entered a plea of "cement head." Cement head, be it explained by the legal sat elites, is a condition where an official by long association within the cement walls of a prison is rendered incapable of making correct judg ments. Senator James J. Barbour is the attorney for Ex-Warden Wesley Westbrook, under four months' sentence for taking part in events de scribed as a jail scandal, into the meshes of which have already become entangled eleven officials and guards. While not attempting in any way to dis parage the learned legal authority defending the ex-warden, we might suggest that the ce ment in the prison walls was sorr.swhat super fluous, or perhaps a be'atec. influence. No doubt Tom Murray, and his convicted pals, Kelley and Willcs, will bc-times express regret that "cement head" comes a trifle late for thcrn. Cerncm head would, no doubt, have proved an interesting, if only a probable, means of escaping the gallows for the taking "of human life. Among the thing-3 that matter very little is what old dad thinks of daughter's prospec tive husband. Joan of Are Hides Apain ' : : , i l 1 JKOTWW 1 ' i Will !??' -"" ; I ; .' Sounds silly to usbut why is it that the necesaary hauling to pave a new street does so much damage to some of those already laid down that they have to be done over again, and in doing them over again other streets will be ruined, and, well figure it out from there on.
