THE BIG LAND SHOW
chicago's Chief of Police Assures Wis.
itors That Everything Will Be
Ready for Their Comfort.

Chief of Police Steward of Chicago
is mindful of the comfort of visitors
during the coming Land Exposition,
which will be held during the same
time as the International Live Stock
Show, Nov 20 to Dec. L.
1--WE shall not only police the expo
sition but also all those parts of the
city which the visitors will frequent.
If there are any suspicious characters
in sight, we shall speedily warn them
to leave the city. We are determined
that our guests during the exposition
season shall be as free from annoy
ance as a thoroughly organized police
and detective force can make them. Or
dinarily the stranger in Chicago is as
safe here as in any city-we purpose
to make him doubly so during the two
weeks of the exposition and Live Stock
Show
1--WE have on the force many men
who are experienced in looking after
crowds and they will all be on duty at
the right points during the Land and
Irrigation festivities.
81 am taking a special interest in
this coming land show for | realize its
great Importance to the country and TO
the city of Chicago, and | appreciate
the earnestness of the people who are
going to be Chicagos visitors. Many
people who are seeking new locations
for their homes will come to Chicago
and many of them will not be on the
alert for suspicious characters. To such
people we shall give special care and
do all in the power of our strong or
ganization to see that no one falls into
the hands of the confidence men or 9TH
err swindlers during his presence with
in our gates.
81 appreciate the enterprise of the
Chicago Tribune in promoting and f.
nancing this great exposition and it is
my wish to have our police organiza-
ton assume large measure of the re-
sponsibility for the comfort of our
guests on .rts splendid occasion"

Add to this that he was chosen ito this

It remains to speak of our late fel-

man. There have been soldiers that
were not men. The more's the pity.
Mr.. Boulware was a man Of affairs.
He was farmer. It is no mean at
tainment to be a successful farmer
when man has two good, complete
arms, with real mans head set mid
way between two strong shoulders.
But here is man that could really
