TO Make it Safe for Women
and Children"

The Freeport Daily Standard of last week. in
speaking of the probable purchase of Krape Park by
the city of Freeport says:
One member of the board stated that if
the park is secured the board will pass
ordinance making it offense punishable by
heavy fine to carry any sort of Intoxicating
liquors into the park grounds. It is the idea
of the board to make the park safe and
pleasant place for ladies and children, so that
they spend the day evening at the park
without fear of being molested or insulted by
intoxicated persons The park will be we'll
policed and intoxicated person will be
permitted to enter it.
This is commendabe action and one that will be
appreciated by the best people of Freeport.
Why not carry the idea still further and give the
and children the same protection from intoXl
Gated persons the streets of Freepor? Intoxicating
liquors in public parks bad, and Intoxicating
liquors the public streets no better.
1t wasn't many years ago that young woman
young mother wheeling her baby of the main
streets of FreepOrt shot down in cold blood by
drunken boy This boy is serving a life sentence
in the Joliet penitentiary He could give possible
excuse for his act, inasmuch he did not know the
woman he shot, except that he drunk.
Let us make the public streets of our cities safe
well public parks.

ABOUT THEATRE

cult OF De Luxe photo play houses at
which 1t Is planned to display feature
dramas and the three reel classics of
the mimic world.

these houses is evident from the red
letter signs that adorn the front of
the old Hammond theatre and the pre-
dictions of the Allardt brothers through
their agent IN Hammond, Maurice Han
kinSon.

ORPHEUM
SHOW BEST
so FAR

Burns e. Lind who open the Orphe-
um show this week in terpsichorean
classics, almost fatally injured them
selves at the Sunday matinee by at
tempting to satisfy a patron in the
rear who requested timidly that they
do the ST. Vitus dance. 1t was moved
and seconded that the author of that
comedy be elected unceremoniously.
That and other incidentals livened
up the crowd that for the first time
this season have displayed enthusiasm.
Up to date the bills have been mostly
bad and Indifferent. Therefore the
present worthy entertainment is hailed
with Joy.
"As My Father Used to Say" skit
by Howard and Lnder. follows the
song and dance act. 1t is pleasant
piece of foolishness with lots of noise
and very little cleverness. Yet it goes
with bang and holds it's own.
Case and Rogers in THE Baggage
Man" keep up their share of the pro-
gram. Rogers is possessed of re-
markable voice and uses 1t to good ad-
vantage on sane and sensible songs.
Corrigan and Vivian, sharp shooters
close the show in the shortest act that
has played the Orpheum in months. II
is good variety.
