STATE OF CHICAGO
Proposition to Cut Great City Out Of
Cfofo


Chicago. Dec. 6.-The creation of
the state of Chicago, through the SEN
aration of Chicago and Illinois, was
proposed some time since in an article
in the Saturday Times, the writer de.
claring that there were two political
entities no longer possessing a har-
mony of purpose or desire.
The great city of Chicago" said he.
has almost reached the limit of en-
durance. 1t has come to that ALWAYS
pitiful stage where harmony between
itself and It's parent state of Illinois
is seemingly impossible. Why not.
then, new State-the state of Chi
cago?
"At first impression 1t sould like too
bold move, 1t sounds like a thing too
radical. And 1t sounds, likewise. as a
lack of state patriotism on the part of
Chicago. Nothing. however. could be
further from the truth. as the state of
Illinois. outside Of Chicago, would be
benefited quite as much as the big city
in the northeastern corner. 1t would
merely be separation of two politi-
cal governments no longer in har-
mony: two governments that have
ceased to have in common the inter-
ests Of each other.
1T is impossible for city of 2,000,.
600 inhabitants, living under the
changed and enlarged conditions of
1909. to be correctly governed under
the same laws and the same charter
that were granted to it, when mere
struggling hamlet of 1887.
"And yet such is the present status
of Chicago, and it will undoubtedly
remain SO until there takes place q
separation between the city of Chicago
and the state of Illinois. Chicago has
repeatedly asked for new laws under
which its growth and proper govern
ment might be enhanced. And so often
as the request has been made It has
been denied by the parent state Of
Illinois. 1t is the inevitable result
Of lack Of sympathy and understand.
ing-that is all.
I'm 1862, Virginia, no longer a unit
politically. socially or commercially.
was divided into two states-each
forming a more perfect political en-
tity. The case Of Virginia then, as Ia
the case of Chicago now, was the OUT
growth of an incompatibility of .in-
terests. And the resulting separation
worked to the advantage of both Sec
tons.
THE state of Illinois has within its
borders 4,S21.550 people according to
the census Of 1900. Its area is 56665.
square miles. Far off in the corner
of this political division-for all states
are but political divisions over.
100000 of its population lives, in =
territory not exceeding 100 square
miles. Reduced, this means that two.
fifths of the people Of Illinois reside
in q district occupying but ous-thie.
tieth Of its whole area"

Article XVI-Desiring to prevent
one Of the most frequent causes Of
disturbance in the republics. the con-

because Of her good looks and polite

that when she was not busy she
sought to be alone and often shed
tears. After she had been at work q
week an auto drove up to the res
taurant and from the car an elderly

II was TO disprove this that the young
woman tried to make her own living.
