And these were but two days of regular grind
Of two weeks in which the saloon in one way or
other figured in about the relative proportion in
its connection with the crime of Cook county. The

of the saloon and the pool rooms and there is little
doubt but that from third one-half of the remain
ing cases in which the saloon was not brought out as
being auxiliary and put down in the above list
as not connected when the full testimony is brought
in the trial the saloon will be found to be an aid
or an abettor to the crime committed
Since the states attorney of Cook county has
issued statement to the effect that he needs larger
amount of money in order to properly prosecute the
crime of Cook county, the above figures and state
ments of the experience of two weeks on the grand
jury ought to be very illuminating as to the great
of crime and the increase of taxes to take care
of it,

The Criminal Protector

About month ago Judge William Gemmll, in
public address, fixed the responsibility for the pre-
vaence of crime upon a certain cotere OF saloon
keepers who have strong political pull.
The charge that the saloon is school for crime;
that ii makes honest into thieves, and peaceabe
citizens into murderers is familiar story, and has
been supported by such volume Of convincing evil
dence that no sane man has the presumption to at
tempt defense for it against such charge But
Judge Gemmil went farther in his accusations against
the saloon He branded the saloonkeeper the pro-
tector of criminals and of shielding them from the
consequences of the law by bringing pressure OF one
sort or another upon the police the prosecutor and
the Judges themselves. He said:
There are 500 pckpoces Chicago today and can't
convict one of them sending criminals and hold
up the Bridewe The Brdewe is filled with drunKs
and they only class of offenders than can be convicted
Certain soonkeeper of the city call some OF the branches
municipal day and enumerate the cases IN
which prosecutions If the aloonkeepers
influence sufficient fix the judge the prosecutor to
have dropped the step taken with the police
department. when the called the policeman fails
TO make out and the judge compelled to dismiss
the charge.
1t has been than month now since Judge
C1emmi made these accusations, and there has been
no successful reutation Will good citizens continue
to accept the situation depicted by Judge Gemml
without even an effort to remedy the evil? Courts
controlled by saloonkeepers of the lowest type not

claims ne loves me. and he told
me he wants to keep steady COM
many with me. At first he used
IN call on me every week, but now
he keeps disappointing me every
time he promises to call, and I
always call on him and ask him
for an explanation, which is a diff
f4rant excuse each time, and
amounts to nothing Kindly adj
wise me zhat to do, as love him
from the bottom of my heart,
and il would cause me to suffer
very much if l had to give him up.

NV dear, 1t is better to give him VI
than to force yourself on him when
he does not want you. If he were
very anxious to see you he would
keep his engagements with you. Dc

then. He has stopped calling on

me. I have lots of other young

Of this young man than all the
others. How can | find out the
reason he does not call? He
lives some distance, but that does
