A FILTHY DUMPING GROUND.
Editor Evening News
Your paper certainly deserves the
praise of all friends of humanity In it's
battle against the orgies OF unchastity
and the brutal reign of terror as enacted
by the toughs i'm Crescent Park. IL is a
pity America has become such filthy
dumping ground for the scum of foreign
nations. who left their country for their
countrys good
i always upnold the cause of the plain
people, who retain their self-respeN but
l draw the line against the rich and poor
alike, when they destroy the landmarks
of Christianity, public morality and the
American Sunday.
Very truly yours.

AGAINST "UNHoLY WARS"
Editor Evening News.
Like every one else. / read the papers,
and often ask myself the question, when
reading accounts of battles in other
climes, does IL pay? In other words. is
the game worth the candle? Now, we pro-
fess to be one of the most enlightened
nations upon the face of the globe. We
are naturally peaceful people, willing
(as they should be) TO have our disputes
settled by arbitration.
Now as we have everything in our own
land that can conduce to our prosperity.
what in the world do We want to send
men and ships TO other countries, TO SUBJ
jugate the Inhabitants for for we have
invited immigration. and Uncle Sam Is
rich enough TO give us all farm.
Yet virtually we are seeking TO obtain
a part of that We do not need. and which
would prove dsadvantageous to us. Take
England, for instance. With all her pos
sessions, she still seeks more. Think Of
the starving population of India under
British rule. and the millions being used
to subjugate the poor Beers We profess
to be liberty loving people.
Now should we send men and guns to
cause an unholy war? We have enough.
Is IL not best to let well enough alone?
We protect foreigners I'm our own land,
why seek to destroy them I'm their own?
