Crime in Chicago.

|
COS streets within twenty-four hours,
Following the long and uninterrupted
series OF similar attacks, and on child
rem as well, has led the Chicago board
of alderman to consider resolution
introduced to authorize its corr nittee
on State legislation to ask for law
providing the death penalty for all
found guilty of criminal attacks on
women and Children law similar
to that in most Southern states.
Mayor Dunno alone opposed the
proposition, and he did so because he
is opposed to capital punishment. As
the indirect result of the murder of
woman in the STREETS, who was first
assaulted, the police force of Chicago
was recently enlarged. We predicted
at the time that the enlargement
would not decrease crime in Chicago,
saying that what Chicago needed was
not more law enforcement SO much
as more law observance by every
class and in everything.
All the Indignation meetings, pro-
tective societies, increased saloon Ii
censes and greatly enlarged police
force have done no good at all, the
Chronicle says and the world knows.
Brutal assaults of the kind just men,
toned ara of daily occurrence-one
was perpetrated Sunday in front of a
cathedral, while service was going
on inside. The Chronicle goes on
to say:
Writers on sociology teach that
the criterion of civilization is the
position of woman in society, and
they would probably all agree that
city in which women and girls are
outraged and murdered almost daily
was in need of government.
What Chicago needs, we repeat, is
law observance. We mean the OBJ
servance of all law, of small laws by
its good citizens; the observance by
the meat packers of Federal, State
and city laws, and so on. The city
of Chicago itself, for example, ,elIs
the right to violate the law, having
a regular bureau of compensations,"
by which a person that wishes to take
part of the public streets or sidewalks
or vacant places can do so by paying
certain amount. These things are
the property of the people. The gov
eminent of Chicago has no right to
sell them or allow them to be taken.
The people have the same right to
protection in their property that they
have in their liberty and their lives.
They get very little of any of it in
Chicago. We cite the case to insist
that the awful condition that prevails
there will not get better till the better
people get better. 1t is slow rem
edy, but it is the OILY one, and it
must begin there. The people of
Chicago in everything have got to
manifest a higher respect for law.
And the manifestation will have to
begin with the rich and powerful.
With this as beginning the great
city needs for immediate protection a
moup.ed police that would be equiv
alien. to big battalion of cavalry that
may scour its waste places and miles
of comparatively deserted streets.
With the judicial arm to make. the
punishment fit the crime improve
ment would slowly come to Chicago
1t will not come by merely increasing
police forces nor enacting death pen

Dot knock your town. A little
weak chick with its soft little bill
can break its way out of an egg with
comparative ease. Those of you
who have tried cracking an egg on
your knuckles wonder how chick
does it.. Scientists have very simple
explanation for it, which is this, the
chick knocks from the inside and the
arrangement of the particles that
make the shell are such that they are
easily driven apart from the inside,
but wedged together, when struck
from the outside. Its the same with
a city. The knocks from the outside
have little effect. It's the knocker
at home that hurts town.

More Fortunate Boys.

fiedged lawyer. he passed success
full examination before the Missouri
board of examiners and was enrolled

lorney. In class or thirty-seven

tenden, who had offered $4,000 re-
ward for the capture dead or alive, Of
Jesse James. Sr.
A few years later Jesse went to
work in Armour's packing house as a
clerk. He studied at home. His
mother was his teacher. After a few
years he opened cigar stand in the
county courthouse. He wrote book
in defense of his father and had il
published. 1t sold we'll. When h.
was 81 years old he had $700 in the
hank and owned cottage in which
his mother and sister lived. Then
he opened cigar store in the busi-
ness center of Kansas City.

A Strange Pet.

From the Huebner home, on the
ranch a few miles below town,
comes a story which shows that
the milk of human kindness is a
transmitting fluid that can even
turn the hard shell of the plodding
tortoise into the home of an aston
ishing intelligence. The children
of Franz Huebner love all lowly
creatures, and, reasoning from
their knowledge of man, conclude
that the way to the brute affections
is through the stomach. So these
babies-feed everything that comes
along, the least of these tots the
other day even begging handful
of corn to feed a colony of big vic
ious red ants-the natural enemy
of barefoot childhood" Cause
they's runnin roun' an mus be
awful hungry, she pleaded.
But the most unique of all
unique pets is one these babies
have tamed-a tortoise. For seven
years a common hardshel1 prairie
tortoise has made the Huebner
home his boarding place, and has
come to be quite one of the family.
His tortoiseship is not at all epicu-
rean, eating anything offered him
with equal gusto; but he is I'm
nicky as to the regularity of his
meals. He shows up in early
spring, after all chance of bad
weather has passed, and calls reg
ufarly for meals till dewberries
ripen. Then he goes away and
doesn't come back till the berry
crop is exhausted. Returning
then, he stays till the first norther
of the fall, when he seeks some
soft spot, burrows under the earth
and sleeps the long sleep of hiber-
mating animals.
The strange pet is as tame as
kitten, eating from the hand, and
often when it fails to find one
ready to serve it at the kitchen
door it promptly makes its way to
the front door, or to the lot search
ing till it finds somebody to give it
food.
The humble creature is a prime
favorite about the Huebner home
and there will be genuine grief
if it fails to show up this spring.
The fact that it is late in coming
is taken as sign that there is yet
some ugly weather in store for the
coast country. And in this Foster
agrees with the tortoise. Bay City

In these days of strife between
two great political parties we must
remember that after all we are just
band of brothers here on earth,
travelling from the cradle to the
grave. We live side by side, our
children attend the same schools
and after the smoke of the battle
has cleared away, we will still be
friends and neighbors. Let the
bitter things go unsaid. At best,
life is short, and we get out of it a

Among the many creatures that
sleep in the winter are the frogs,
with their very long hIndlegs, short
Gorelegs and with big black eyes on
each side OF their very big mouths.
When the cold days come and the
water begins to freeze in the pond the
frogs know that it is time to go to bed

their families with them to the bot
tom. Then they begin to dig with
their long hind feet into the soft mud.
They work themselves down into their
beds backward until at last they are
covered under the mud, all except the
tips of their noses.
There they go to sleep. After awhile
they have an ice spread over them.
and they can sleep safely all winter.
They do not get hungry all this time.

grows bright and warm and Jack
