don't make machines of ourselves. Sam
Walter Foss wrote a poem, Holding
Boston up to ridicule. The title of this
skit Is The Path the Calf Made, and he
commences it as follows:
One day through the primsval wood.
A calf walked home, as good calves
should;
But made a trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail as all calves do. i
Since then two hundred years have fed,
And, I infer, the calf is dead,
But still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs my moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
BY a lone dog that passed that way
And then a wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale and steep,
And drew the flock behind him too,
AS good bell-wethers always do.
And from that day DER hill and glade
Through those old woods a path was
made;
And many men wound in and out,
And lodged n turned and bent about
And uttered words OF righteous wrath
Because twas such a crooked path.
He goes on and tells how the path
village street and finally how the
crooked thoroughfare became the cen-
trail street of the reknowned metropolis
and how a hundred thousand citizens

calf three centuries ago, and he closes
his poem with the following soliloquy,
A moral lesson this might teach,
Were I ordained and called to preach:
For men are prone to go 1t blind
Along the calf paths of the mind,
And work away from sun to sun
To do what other men have done.
They followed in the beaten track;
And in. and out, and forth, and back,
And still their devious course pursue,
To keep the path that others do.
But how the wise old wood gods laugh
who saw the first primeval calf.
All! many things this tale might teach,
But 1 am not ordained to preach.

The H.-H. are peeved because the
Sullivanites, having the biggest pull

Charley Deneen bunch. Yesterday the
inquiry began, although Deneen was
about the only anti H.-H. man that
appeared.
Attorney Al Austrian, who with
Levy Mayer, pulls most of the big
pohtical-corporation stuff in Chicago,
appeared to represent the Sullivan in

pulled between him, Chief Eectioner
Commissioner Howard Taylor and
Attorney Charley Mitchell of the
board. Austrian seemed to have got

For instance, Taylor, who is a law

job, said to Austrian: your methods
are those of a police court shyster."
