LETTERS TO EDITOR
"ANoTHER BIG QUESTION"

Editor Day Book:-You have kick
ed up another big question in the
Judge Speer impeachment case. The
Impeachment clause of our constitu-
lions was put into it to reach exactly
this class of misbehavior, that is,
mlsbehavior in Office, which falls
short of being criminal" under the
Criminal Code. If the misbehavior
falls within the Criminal Code judge
can be tried and put in Jail like any
other criminal; but the trainers of our
institutions we're sane enough to rec
ognlze that there was such a thing as
a course of conduct uniting a man
for judicial position, which neverthe-
less did not come within the terms of
Criminal Code, and that is precisely
this case. And yet our impeaching
bodies, contrary to the spirit of our
law, are more and more inclining to
the notion that the only ground for
Impeachment is when an official
qualities himself for a convict's garb.
This is all rot; and for one l am glad
to see you point out the distinction
and call general attention to the mat
ter. Rehabilitate the spirit of an i'm
parchment law as it was meant, by
awakening the public conscience on
the subject, and you will find your
officials much keener to serve the
people. Henry Knaus,

If Mayor Harrison was giving peo-
pie what they pay for we would have

THE LABOR AGENTS
Editor Day Book:-A contractor
shot and killed teamsters' business
agent few days ago. Immediately
the newspapers, led by Jim Kelley of
the Herald, wanted to "uproot graft
in the labor unions. Kelley assures
us that he has the best interests OF
labor at heart. Boss" Mclaughlin
feels about the matter in a similar
manner. And so does the employers
association.
We can rest assured that the big
department stores are making no OBJ
jections to the purifying process"
If they were Kelley would soon shut
up. And let us not be surprised if the
Restaurant Keepers Association
should come forward to lend help
ing hand in this noble" undertaking.
Don't you, see the idea of all this
excitement?
1. We are forgetting that Con-
tractor Patrick Dignan murdered
Business Agent George Hammond.
2. We are getting a great deal of
public sentiment created against
business agents in general.
Is there any truth in the charge of
graft.
1 don't know. And 1 don't care a
great deal.
But 1 do know that Chicago paint
ers receive the highest wages paid in
any large city in the world. Hence
it is quite natural that distrust to-
ward painters union officials should
be created in the minds of the rank
and file.
The Chicago teamsters are per-
haps more solidly organized than
those of any city in the country. If
the teamsters can be made to believe

FILLING BLOODY GAPS
Both Sides Rushing Reinforce
meHtS to the Front.
HUMAN ENDURANCE STRAINED
Never In the History of the World
Has There Been Such Carnage.

London special: The battle Of the
Aisne, which has endured for eight
days, has been the most sanguinary
battle in the history of the world. At
least 100000 men have contended
with the utmost ferocity. The Ger
mans are opposing 100000 to an al
, lied force of 100000.
This estimate of the forces engaged
may be retained, because it can be as
sumed that Germans and allies have
obtained reinforcements to fill the
gaps made by bullet, shell and bay
onet. These troops, after series OF
engagements each vital to the general
combat, are stretched from north of
Noyon to north of MontfaucOn. on a
line which forms an obtuse angle, run
ming southeast from Noyon to Ora
onne, Berry Au Bao and Rheims. and
thenceforth east and northeast to

II they are to be broken and hurled

present it is a drawn battle. The Ger
mans, evading attempts to envelop
their right and left wings, and them
selves developing strong offensive in
the center of the battle line, which is
east and north of Rheims, have the ad
vantage of entrenched and fortified po-
sitions, defenses calmly and skillfully
prepared by the German engineers at
least three weeks ago. The terrible
slaughter of the past eight days has
been due largely to the attempts OF
the allies to capture by frontal attacks
of infantry and light artillery the key
