MERELY COMMENT

Having controlled the states att
torney's Office for twenty years, the
bUlldOZing Tribune now frOths at the
mouth because it can't boss HOyne.
Too bad Hoyne wasn't in position
years ago to stop the Tribune from
robbing the school children of Chi
cagO by a crooked land lease.
The wave of protest against the
resignation of Ella Flagg Young from
the public schools ought to give some
politicians on the school board fair
idea of what people think of them.
They are the ones Mayor Harrison
ought to tie can to.
The Tribune is conducting a fur
ious campaign against gamblers, but
it never peeped when the telephone
trust was trying to rush a deal
through council to grab the auto
matte and establish telephone mo-
nOpoly in Chicago.
Can it be that the Trib's moral
crusades are intended to cover up
some of the tricks the big corpora
tons are trying to pull off?
Or is the great moral organ trying
to bluff the states attorney into drop
ping the prosecution of the Tribune's
chief gunman and slugger?
If Election Commissioner Howard
S. Taylor wrote editorials like he
buys voting machines he must have
been bum editorial writer.
Can it be possible that the news
papers are trying to make the loop a
morgue at night so the people will
have more money to spend in the big
stores during the day time?
Or is it because the theaters are
the only night attraction that adver-
tise, and want every other place Of
amusement closed up?
