...purchase a power plant. A second referendum will have to take place before Akron actually goes into the power & light business. In Sandusky, Ohio the issue was clear. The city decided to build a $1,400,000 light plant to be owned and operated publicly. Fleetwood, Pa. and Cicero, Ind. also voted in favor of public ownership of their power & light plants. In Bradford, Pa., Auburn, N. Y.,Defiance, Ohio, mayors were elected on public ownership platforms...
...Theleme has mislead those who forget that only the "well born, well instructed, conversing in honest company" were invited. Humanism is not hedonism, which is in fact a potential consequence of that naturalism which humanism challenges. It is not secularism, either.

There were only five horses in the race and Cornelius Vanderbilt ("Sonny") Whitney's Equipoise, the 1 to 5 favorite, had beaten most of them before. So there was not a great deal of betting on the Hawthorne Gold Cup Race at Cicero, Ill.., last week. Nonetheless, because victory would make Equipoise the fourth largest money-winning horse in the U.

...book on Chicago gangland is complete without the story of the O'Donnell brothers (WestSide) three-cornered fight with the North and South Siders. Klondike's Brother Myles and notorious Assistant State's Attorney William McSwiggin, both now dead, shot up the Capone citadel in Cicero in 1925. Of the remaining 35 public enemies, only Frank Diamond, no relation to Manhattan's late little criminal clay pigeon "Legs," is important and at the same time somewhat obscure to newspaper readers. He runs speakeasies and resorts...
