SEEKS FUSION IN THE STATE

tempt to bring about fusion of the
progressive and republican parties in
Illinois is involved in the forthcoming
election of republican congressional
committeeman for that state.
Representative Br'tten of Chicago
announced yesterday that he would
oppose the selection of any commit
teeman who would not pledge himself
to work for such fusion. There are
only four republicans in the Illinois
Observation-Disclosures, Mann, Britten
and Mckenzie. Mr.. Mann has indi-
Gated he is too busy to perform the
duties of congressional committeeman,
and Mckenzie does not want the place,
so the selection is choice of Madden
or Britten.

Street Noises.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Every time The Star editorially con-
dennis street noises 1t omits mention of
the most aggravating and senseless Of
these nuisances. viz, the church bell The
only excuse for making that noise would
appear TO be to notify the congregation
Of an impending service. and yet 1t is
safe to assert that less than 20 per cent
OF the congregation live within the sound
of their church bell. and to those who
do the warning comes too late to be of
any use. and as pretty much everybody
nowadays has access to a clock, and is
governed by that. there is absolutely no
necessity for such an antiquated usage.
In fact. some of the largest congregations
use no bell at all. To the sick especially.
the loud. nerve-racking noise of a church
bell is especially aggravating and fire.
quently injurious. Why should that street
noise be exempt from all others? Hucksters
are prohibited to cry their wares In the
streets but unless they make their bust
ness known by that means they must ring
the house bell. which Is greater
nuisance To the housewife. The huckster
follows useful calling and paws
license. The church bell does neither
