DAILY COMMENT {


The trust newspapers seem to be
mighty anxious to investigate the
City Hall. Why doesn't the City Hall
reciprocate and investigate the news
paper trust?
That would come nearer inVesti-
eating the real government Of Chi
cago than poHng into the corners of
the City Hall.
And we know of nothing in town
that would make more interesting
reading than a sweeping investiga-
ton of the circulation methods Of
some of our best, leading, prominent
and influential publishers.
Here's a swell chance for Aid. Mer-
Ram to make a big hit with the peo-
pie, and do Chicago a whole lot of
good. It would make a Wild West
show look like a Sunday school pic
mic.
Same old story. It wasn't the profit
makers but the wage-earners who
were burned to death in that New
York fire.
Andy Lawrence might get half of
that $35O,OO0 he sued the Inter
Ocean for. If he could find that much
around the Inter-Ocean, we imagine
the owners would gladly divide with
him.
Penitentiary prisoners occasionally
get privileges. Down at Sing Sing
they were permitted to put out fire
that threatened to destroy their
beautiful stone home.
And now City Treasurer Flynn
says that City Comptroller Traeger
is vice president of bank that gets
city funds. Some day the city may
have to go into the banking business
itself and handle the peoples money
for the benefit of the people.
Just think of it! A Baltimore wo-
man is kicking because all she gets
to eat is kisses and buns; and she
loves her husband, too. And she

a good joke on Teddy, and fine bust
ness for Wilson and Bryan.
Isn't it about time the city were
having a telephone commissioner
who will see that the rights of tele-
phone users are protected?
That terrible bomb that was sent
to Andy Carnegie turns. out to be
oVer-ripe cheese. But the cops killed
it just the same, although it was dead
when they tackled it.
Kit Carson killed Indians and was
a hero. His son killed his mother
in-laW, and has been pinched for de-
serting his wife. Which proves moth
ing; not even that heroism runs in
the family.
Bear in mind that much of the
fussy business being pulled off by
the politicians merely means that
they are getting ready to elect an
other mayor. Soon all of the can
didates will begin dearly loving the
dear people until after election.

New Haven, Sept. 11.-Thirty candi-

for practice on Yale field this afternoon
under the direction Of Howard Jones, the
new head coach
Only a few Of the veterans OF last
years team were back, but il was stated
that the rest Of the "Y" men would be
here before the end Of the week. The
practice to-day was light.
Prospects for a strong eleven are some
what better than usual. There is much
seasoned material The hardest problem
will be to find quarterback, a position
at which Yale was weak last year. The
team will have two good drop kickers--
PumDelly. whose wonderful goal marked
the Princeton game last year. and Guern-
sey. who showed aptitude as freshman.
Interest is focused on Captain Ketcham,
as IL is expected he will be shifted from
centre TO end.
The assistant coaches will be Captain
Spaulding OF last years team. Douglas
