PEOPLE AND THINGS
In the meantime, is there no way
we can get the streets Of Chicago
cleaned?
Can't Johnny Powers clean up the
streets around the corner of Con-
gTess and Peoria? Or have the city
do it?
The Board Of Review evidently
doesn'tlhke Hoyne's attitude toward
big taxdodgers. 'Smatter? Spelling
something soft?
It looks as if the Trib traiIed after
Hearst on the war thing in order to
give Joe Medil Patterson a chance
to give an imitation of a war cor
respondent.
Something must be done to amuse
our hereditary aristocrats.
Some time ago Patterson attract
ed some attention as a SOcialist-Or
as what he thought was a Socialist.
We have too much respect for our
conservative friends, the Socialists,
to believe they are as warlike as
Joseph.
Unless we n1isundeFstand the So
cialists, they are for political action
and not for war. Joe appears to be
actually bloodthirsty.
We still think more of Villa as an
American citizen than we do Of lot
of EN- who we're born in this coun-
try.
As an ex-bandit, we like his way Of
banditing better than we like Rocke-
feller's way.
Villa will take chance Of getting
killed. The ROckefelers won't. They
pretend to be religious.
We hope the A, B. c. mediatoEs
keep on chewing the rag and having
a good time up in Canada until villa
takes Mexico City. Then it win be
