IF the ministers, any of them,

ut is dangerous for any Of their
lock 10 pass through, and desig-
1ate such place. and then obtain
he statement from the officers OF
he police department to back
hem up, then will they receive
the m IRA support of the real peo-
pie of this section 10 have such
place thrown out and the owner or
proprietor disqualified from con-
ductlng a place of business under
the law. We say unhesitatlngly
that the only places in "Paradise
Found" where there are to be
found "gangs" and congregation
of men the least embarrassing for
ladies to pass through is in front
of the churches. The cigarette
''whitfer," the cigar "pufer, the
dude, the masher, and the thing
the mouths tbs head of his walk
ing stick, are the persons that
leave church just before service
Is finished and get out in front
and slight up" just before the
doxOlogy and they constitute the
only public nuisance that lnfest
this section.
We do not uphold the liquor
traffic; the truth is We sincerely
wish that there was not a bar
room on earth, nor "a drop OF
whisky juice manufactured. Bu
bar rooms are here, and that too
by the law, aud the eight men
singled out for slaughter in ''Par-
adlse Found" are clIizens of the
country doing business under the
law, and there Is no good reason
why they should be made to suf-
fer, and those Immediately around
the circle become benefited, be
cause of the discrimination prac
tlced upon those within the limit
prescribed by the preachers COM
bine.
If these eight persons had all
been colored men they would have
been sent TO the wall, but the two
great nationalities, the IRISH, and
the German are in it, and it is no
easy job to down the two.
Since the assembling of Con-
'ress this matter of dlscrimina
tion out in Paradise has been
brought to the attention OF lead
ing men in both houses, and as
Politicians and law makers they
state that it would establish d
dangerous precedent to crrry out
he dlctum of the preachers COM
blne.
And this brings Us to say that
the almost fanatic conduct anC
their too much ortbodoxness
some of the ministers of the gos
pei IN this city IN steadily csusi' E
them to be OF little practical u-t
with any but those who are grounc
from "thumb ard scsem" .aDC
have no ideas of their own, OF
conceptions of what we live for
A SCHOOL TEACHER OBJECTS To
ONIONS.
Miss NJ. D. Murrill, a dpmur'
teacher in the Oakely school o
Chicrgo, has raised storm b,
sending ONE ! upils whose bre tth
are seen ed with the succulent On
i,ns. r. Ii. G~ennell, taxpayer
takes Issue with Miss Merrill. Fl,
has two boys, and after devouring
several onions the other morning
they appeared in school and wer'
promptly sent home with a no;e
which read: "It is too cool in m,
room most of the time to have til,
windows open, aud the brea b o
your children after eating onion
makes the air very offensive"
Supt. Love, however gave th'
victory to the onion He said
"There is no doubt that MIS-
Merrill was not justified in send
ing children home because tbei
breath was laden with the odor O
onions. 1t is an instance of poo
judgment The odor may have 5eer
disagreeable to the teacher, bu
she should not have taken tina
action.
Teachers cannot regulate
pupils diet. II they want to ea
onions there is nothing 10 preven
them from 80 doing and attend n
school The vegetable is We
lik d by many people, aud ls cer
ta,nly most wholesome.
Miss Merrill, we advise you I
d just ss the teachers here, es
"garlick" you cannot then carc
the scent of the onion.
