was informal and was made for the

The cause of the excitement was
the well-defiBed rumCr, impossible OF

Patterson would take the stand on be-
half of the defendants as soon aS Col

GYPSY SMITHS MARCH.

Gypsy Smith and an army marched
thru the redligat district of Chicago
and that was all. AS spectacular adj
vertising feature Of a great revival, call
culated to call attention to the move
ment it was a. success. Outside of that
it is hard to see where much was ac-
complished. However there is no good
reason why religious movement
should not make q demonstration if it's
leaders and followers see fit to do so
and if they chose to march quietly thru
darkened streets lined with the I'M
speakable horrors of the tenements OF
shame there is little or any less reason
a political procession or a st. Patrick $
day parade should do the same thing.
However, on many old fashioned per-
sons such demonstrations jar Whether
with good reason or not is an open
question. 1t is easier to see possibili-
ties of good in a religious demonstra-
ton OF even so spectacular sort than
to see possibilities of harm. This is
a day of demonstrations. Let Gypsy
and his followers march where they
may. They certainly represent bet
ter and higher type of moral and polit-
ical citizenship than Tammany torch
light procession.
