enced thereby to pay a visit to
these moral lepers."
That is just as true of some of
Chicago newspapers. The Hearst
papers are full of disgusting and
misleading advertisements of
medical takers; and the owner of
the newspaper who makes money
by getting its readers to patron
IL the quacks and frauds is no
better than the quacks and frauds.
If parents will read some of the
vilIainous ads in the Hearst pa
pers they will see that those pa
pers are carrying into the homes
of Chicago, advertising filth that
is sure to have a bad influence on
innocent boys and girls who read
them.
The loan sharks now being ex-
posed by The Tribune secure
their victims largely through adj
vertisements in The News. Some
of Lawson's millions were made
by the business partnership of
The News with these loan sharks;
the money the sharks paid him for
advertising came out of the peck
cts of the victims of the loan
sharks.
1t is a serious question wheth-
er any influence works more evil
in Chicago than some of the adj
vertisements printed by money
mad newspaper publishers.
