JOHN'' LEADS
FIGHT AGAINST CORPORA ZION

Chicago, April 26.-- The fight
against regulation of public utility
corporations by which the public
and stockholders and the not pro-
fessional politicians are gamers in
Illinois, is led by Alderman Caugh-
lin, the picturesque "Bathhouse
john" Of Chicago's first ward.
He has been emboldened to publicly
appear against proposed progress
siye measure by the election Of Har-
rison, who has terminated biparti-
san control Of the council and de-
clared war upon many other inno-
vations secured by the public since
he was last mayor "Bathhouse,
very immaculate in frock coat OF
coronation blue, with white and
lavender tie, with pompadour very
erect and with pride in his being
boss of the first ward very rampant,
has protested that unless the city
aldermen continue to have power
over the corporations the "peepul"
will suffer.
His reply to the comment of the
senate committees chairman that
the plan had worked well in Chicago
was this: dee whole state Of Wis
consin amt one-two-three to the LIST
ward in Chicago and l represent de
First ward. Chicago is big enough
to look after her own business, and
us aldermen are the proper men to
do the looking after"
This attitude of this notorious
man toward commission control in
stead of political intrigue lends adj
ded significance to the recent utter
ance of corporation executive
who declared that regulation OF the
public utilities by permanent COM
missions by which ward politics is
avoided, had come to stay. This de-
claration by President Vail of the
Bell telephone companies was based
upon vast experiences with ward
bosses such as Coughlin.
In his annual report President
Vail said: Estate control or regula-
ton to be effective, should when ex-
ercised be accepted and acquiesced in
by the public. If all the decisions
not in exact accord with the desire or
contention of the public are con-
demned, If it is expected and requir-
ed that all decisions be against the
utilities controlled, If politics and
political effect are to govern deci-
sions go for nothing with, and are
not respected by the public, failure
and disappointment are bound to
follow, self respecting men will re-
fuse to act, and the standard of ap-
pointments will fail and state control
and regulation will become a dis
grace, and the evils which it was
intended to correct will multiply"

OF ESPIONAGE
ON PAROLED PRISONERS

Chicago, April 25.- The punish.
ment of wives and children of con-
vlcted men which the parol law has
lessened in Illinois also has com
mended to Chicago organizations a
proposal to improve the espionage
upon paroled prisoners. A pending
bill, proposed by joint committee
representing the Civic Federation,
Central Howard Association, which
looks after released prisoners, the
Hamilton club and other bodies, has
for it's purpose the better supervi-
sion of paroled prisoners and the in
crease of probation officers so there
shall be one to every fifty men on
parole instead Of one to every 800.
"The innocent women and chill
dren who are dependent on convicted
men often are the greatest sufferers
from the punishment melted out for
the offense committed" said r. En-
Dry Lyon, superintendent Of the Cen
trail Howard Association. "The pa
role law has been an advantage to
wives and families, for old offend
ers seldom have families while the
first and accidental offenders fire.
quently do. From my personal ex-
perience with released prisoners /
am sure that personal and political
Influence has had little to do with
the release Of men on parole. Our
experience has been that 80 per cent
of the men have completed their pa
role with credit. With better SUI
pervision provided by the amend
ment now pending, l feel sure that
the percentage will be considerably
increased and with such supervision
it will be possible to visit the men
frequently in their places of employ
ment'

GOLD AND SILVER MINES
CIVTLIZERS OF MANKIND

'The gold and silver miner is a
civilizer as we'll as public bene-
factor, as he is continually adding to
the money medium, to the money
circulation of the country; and in
acquisition of this gold and silver
no man is robbed or injured. He
not only makes new money, but ii
may be well said, the money that
he expended in searching for the
precious metal, in placing his mine
on a productive and paying stage,
was not lost to the world, but still
in circulation. And, even if one
puts money in mine and meets
with failure, the money is not lost.
1t has only changed ownership, and
gladdens the hand to which it passes
The miner who makes new money
is on higher plane than he who
earns money, but never adds to the
worlds store of imperishable wealth
Should the miner quit work, should
the prospector leave the hills, and
should no increase be made to the
money circulation of our business
centers, the business of the world
would come to a standstill and the
growth of our country and it's pros
perity would become more circum.
scribed as population increased un.
til, in years to come, poverty would
reach point of such extremes that
the degeneracy Of the world would
place the people on par with the
Hottentot or the savages of South
America.
1T is the miner, then, who makes
new money, and who maintains anG
advances the worlds civilization
and prosperity"
Increased wealth means greater
opportunities; the starting of new
industries; withal, more comfortable
living and more pleasures for eacl
individual. And mining is the basis
| upon which the structure Of civil
ization is built.

"THE CALL ON THE WEST"

(By Miss Ruth Dakota Matson.)
Take me out beyond the city,
Where the grass is fresh and green;
Where there amt no benzine bug
gies
Nor the factory whistles scream.
Take me where the pines are sing
ing
To the rocks and clouds and brook,
Set me down way up the canyon
In the old secluded nook.
There's a brook that's running
swiftly
Filled with good old mountain trout;
There's the golden rod and daisies,
From the gaunt rocks peeping out;
There's tent and bed of pine
boughs,
And the old camp stove is there,
And the whole outdoors is calling,
Breathing me a welcome rare.
There's my pony and my saddle,
Waiting for my coming home.
And I'm longing for to see 'em
And the hills once more to roam,
am on my last long journey,
And I'm fastening to see
Once again the old home mountains
And the canyons welcome me.
Take me out beyond the city,
Let me live just for a while,
Where there amt no smoke-stained
houses,
Where the real life brings the
smile.
Then 1 know I'll rest the better,
If know that all the time,
I'll be out in Gods great meadow,
Where His stars look down and
shine.
