some men have pull and others have
not.
He knows the powerful influence of
newspapers, and every Chicago po-
liceman knows that during the news
paper lockout the police department
was run to help the newspaper pub
fishers whip the pressmen, stereo-
typers and newsboys into submission
and slavery.
He knows that for years the news
paper sluggers have been unmolested
by the city government while they
beat up newsboys so they would sub
NIT to newspaper bossism.
Every policeman knows that eX-
convicts were sworn in during that
trouble as deputy sheriffs and special
policemen and armed with badges,
guns and all the authority of the law
to slug, to shoot, to kill.
He knows that several murders
were committed by newspaper gun
men, and that none of them was ever
brought to trial.
Is it natural, then, that a police
man, who is only human being
after all, should imagine that the way
to promotion lies through hostility to
the working class and servility to the
rich and powerful.
When there are learned judges on
the bench who are influenced by
money and good clothes, how much
more can you expect of common
policeman, who never had a college
education and can't belong to a learn
ed profession?
When you get down to brass tacks,
all there is to it is that the employing
class has control of government in
Chicago, as it has pretty much |
everywhere else. And the reason for
that is that the workers don't under |
stand the rotten game and fight one
another, industrially, politically and
every other way that counts.

WOMEN TO WATCH DOINGS. OF
SANITARY DISTRICT

The women are turning their at
tention to the Sanitary District. This
announcement ought to throw an
awful scare into the political gents
who have for years found this divi-
sion of government easy pickins.''
Yesterday twelve women attended
the meeting of the sanitary trustees
and got up and made an awful howl
when 423 vouchers calling for $685.
$50 we're ordered paid without ques-
ton.
The Great Lakes Dredge & Dock
Co. all by itself drew $12,796 out of
the pie. This broke the patience of
the women and they let out protest,
but the majority of the board got
away with it.
The women, who were all from the
Women's City Club, promise to pay
more attention to the Sanitary Dis
trict in the future.

 According to Sanford, who has been held in bonds of $2.5OOrupon a charge of manslaughter after his arrest by Sheriff Eli Mead and appearance be fore Prosecuting Attorney Harry R. Sherwood. and other witnesses who are now being sought by the authori- ties, the fatalities were accidental
 Sanford,s story is that he was ap- proaching Bridgeport with his em- ployer, who is sales manager of the Newmarket Rolling Mills, when Job- served the little children directly in front of their homes. which is the old William Lyon place. about a quarter of a mile this side of Westport The little child had seen the car and start ed to run across the road Suddenly she observed her little brother also looking at the ear. She ran back to get him and Sanford, going at about 20 miles an hour, according to his ern- ployer, believed that. she would lead him to safety. Insted the girl dragged him directly into the roadway. In futile effort to still avoid the little ones, Sanford drove his car di- rectly into the stone wall, throwing out the occupants. The car had pass ed over their little bodies and before any of the passengers and the mother who had heard their cries could reach them, life had departed
 Z They immediately te1ephoned to Westport for aid, and Medical Exam finer Powers responded. The chi1- dren had apparently died in a few seconds as they were badly crushed by the heavy car. After holding a temporary examination. the medical examiner ordered the bodies taken to the Fable morgue.
 Sanford was later placed under ar rest. The mother, whose residence was directly in front of the scene, was inconsola.ble over her loss. The father, Lewis H Allen, was later no tified. Sanford's employer was en- deavoring to obtain bonds for his chauffeur at late hour this after noon.

We. have been regaled here for two or thre days on the matter of attendance in this body. To my sur prise some of our great lawyers have taken what to a 1a,yman, or at least to myself, is a. most peculiar position I suppose strictly speaking it is tech nica1. Now the truth is that it is not the occasioad violation of the law with which we are concerned, but it is the chronic violation, the chronic condition.
