Mayor Jones was re-elected on the non-partisan ticket in 1(899?),
1901 and 1903, and introduced business methods into the city
government. His integrity in business and politics gained him the
nickname "Golden Rule Jones."

Brand Whitlock was born in Urbana, Ohio, in 1869. He began his
career as a journalist, but decided to practice law instead.
After four years of study in Springfield, Ohio, he was admitted
(to?) the bar in 1897, when he removed to Toledo. In 1905 he was
elected mayor of that city as an Independent, running against
four other candidates, and was re-elected in 1907-1909 and 1911
under similar conditions. President Wilson in 1913 sent him as
minister to Belgium where he made a distinguished record during
the War. In 1919 he was appointed ambassador to that country. His
_Memoires of Belgium under the German Occupation_, published in
1918, gives an excellent description of "frightfulness" in actual
operation.

The park system includes about 1,000 acres, connected by a boulevard 18
M. long. Toledo University (2,100 students), which include Toledo
Medical College, was founded in 1880.

The advantages of Toledo as a lake port have always been recognized, and
its growth has been rapid. It is situated about 4 M. from Lake Erie, and
is connected with it by a channel 400 ft. wide and 21 ft.
deep--sufficient to admit the largest vessels from the lake to the 25 M.
of docks. Toledo is a shipping point for the iron and copper ores and
lumber of the Lake Superior and Michigan regions, and for petroleum,
coal, fruit, grain and clover seed. There are factories for motor-cars,
plate and cut-glass, tobacco, spices, and beverages, also lumber and
planing-mills, flour and grist mills, etc., with products of an annual
value of $200,000,000 or more. At Butler (367 M.) we enter Indiana.

Situated on the Elkhart River, Goshen was first settled about 1828 by
pioneers from New England. It is the seat of Goshen College, the only
Mennonite institution of higher education in the U.S. The college was
founded as Elkhart Institute in Elkhart in 1895, and was removed to
Goshen in 1903.
