closer to the people than the high
brows who train with Mccormick.
And if we don't watch out we'll
have a sassiety mayor and a 400 adj
ministration.
Then Chicago will be run like
Blackstone reception or a Lake Shore
Drive pink tea.
The trouble with lot of politicians
is that they are afraid of the woman
vote and are making the fool mistake
of thinking that the club women will
control it.
But it is long ways from a cinch
that the women touted strongest in
the kept press as leaders will lead the
whole flock of women.
1t might be we'll to remember that
even though they have the vote, Wo-
men are still human beings-or are
human beings still. Suit yourself as
to where you put the still.
That Go-to-Church campaign is
all right for diversion, but a Go-to-
Work campaign would be more to
the point, if somebody will supply the
work.
If the people won't go to church,
there's nothing to stop the church
from going to the people.
And it would help a whole lot of
Christian ministers if they would
practice what they preach and try
applying their Christianity just as it's
founder did.
BY the way, in writing communica-
tons to The Day Book cut 'em short.
Go right to the point. Don't waste
words. It's not language we're after,
but ideas and thoughts.
Putting too many clothes and too
loud clothes on thought is just as bad
as overdressing a human being.
We invite letters to the editor,
We want our readers to help make
The Day Book what it ought to be.
But don't write a book. Boil 'er
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-12-24


when they attempt to be public mas
tiers is a darned~ convenient thing to
have about the house.
Out in Colorado the governor got
gay and ran the state to suit the coal
operators, letting them use the
militia as strikebreakers.
But they have the recall in COL
orado, and the people are going to
try it on Gov. Ammons.
Here's hoping he gets his bumps
good and plenty.
Come on now, Business, pick up.
The currency thing is law, and it's
time for business to get busy.
There was never any danger, but
the ghouls of Wall street frightened up
on credit and put over a neaT-panic,
just to throw a scare into President
Wilson and congress.
It's about time for the big bankers
of Chicago to grab off financial head
quarters, and try handling money and
credit for the benefit of legitimate
business instead of for the frenzied
financiers of New York.
MI IIC Nc1IiNStS SNSd "tiSiS 1'S W.
ing business with the peoples money,
although they act as if it belonged to
the banks.
They'd better begin using it for the
benefit of the people.
If you want the right angle on that
row in the County Board, just guess
that the newspaper trust is grooming
Mccormick for mayor, and that Nc
Cormick is playing politics toward
that end,
We don't care boot about parties
or politicians. They all look alike
when they get in.
But the political game being played
in the County Board is newspaper
political game and it makes us tired.
Back of it all is strong play to
get next to the woman vote. And if |
the women are not smarter than the |
men they'll fall for it.

EARLY RECOVERY
OF j. P. AND A. 7.

SmartIy at the Exchange
Opening in New York

NEW YORK. Dec. 1S.-Profession-
ais who experimental on the short
side on the strength of the break
in Canadian Pacific to 212N found
they We're not making much headway
and covered. Their purchases caused
a complete recovery in Union Pacific
and American Telephone, and pulled
up other shares smartly.
Notwithstanding acute weakness of
individual stocks at the outset the
market, after opening slightly lower.
gradually developed strength. and
before noon gains were general. New
Haven. Reading and .Sew York Cen
tral rose a point
The depression in Canadian Pacific
was attributed largely to selling here
by Berlin, Paris and London. due
largely to the collapse of Russian Sc
curities abroad. Steadiness of the
market in the face of Canadian Pa
cific's slump, which amounted to 5ss
points, indicated that the list was
speculatively sold out and the bear
position vulnerable. eBarish state
ments of a leading steel manufacturer
failed to influence the market for
steel shares.
Bonds We're easy
Dullness was the distin gushing
feature of the early afternoon mar
ket. American Express broke IA to
80. the lowest in nearly so years.
