Theological Robbery Is

Other.
The People Want a
Square Deal in
This Matter.

The five blocks of residence prop
erty bounded by Ilalsted street, Bel
den avenue, Fullerton avenue, and
Sheffield avenue do not pay one cent
of taxes into the public treasury.
One hundred and fifty elegant resi-
dences, each o1e of them bringing in
a good rental, do not put up one cent
for the maintenance of the pu5lic
service, and they compete with the
rented property of citizens who have
TO pay heavy taxes.
This property belongs To the Me-
C0rmck Theological Seminary.
1t is all right TO exempt that part
of il used for seminary purposes from
taxation, but by what right are ono
hundred and fifty rented residences
exempted?
Can any one tell?

The Central Station is loaded down
with "A gang Of song-and-dance art
lists who could not tell thief from a

Many of them are prize stcerers

have not arrested anything for such
a long time that they are afraid to
stop a street car for fear Of heart
disease.
But If this state of affairs exists at
the Central Station, it exists to even
greater extent in some of the sub
stations, where lieutenants have been
known to take medical advice to find
out if they were alive.
The new administration will tackl,
this subject before long, and The
people will welcome the change.

The American gun-makers have
produced another great gun which is
destined to make a noise in the world
of heavy ordnance. 1t is the Brown
segmental wound gun. AT its
first public test few days ago in
Birdsboro, Pa, il showed capacity
TO resist pressure which breaks all
the records. At the first firing the
gauges showed a pressure Of %, 200
pounds 10 the square inch, at the
second firing 80, 500 pounds, and at
the third between 10000 and so, 900
pounds, the exact pressure not being
ascertainable, as there were no means
for measuring 1t. IL Is sufficient,
however, that it successfully with
stood a pressure that would have
blown any other gun 10 atoms. In
connection with the heavy missiles
now in use and the application Of
dynamite 20 high-power guns the new
process Of construction must prove Of
the highest importance.
