Another Mans Opinions.-I am
ashamed to say it. But only became
a daily buyer of The Day Book Mon
day, April 10. 1t happened like this:
l was riding on an elevated train
Sunday, April Is. A very well-dressed
and refned-looking woman took the
seat beside me. She had Saturdays
Day Book and she read it all the way
from Sheridan road station to Will
mette. With the tail end of my right
eye also read every word. don't
think the lady knew l was reading
with her read your article in which
you exposed the Arthur Burrage Far
well counterfeit Christianity and the
counterfeit philanthropy of julius Ro-
senwald, "Chicago's pet philanthro-
pist."
l asked the gentlemanly-looking
news agent at the Wilmette station
for The Day Book. He did not have
it. AS soon as l got into the loop"
Monday morning l asked a .newsboy
for Saturdays Day Book. He at once
scurried across the street to two or
three news stands and came back
with three or four Well-thumbed

News auto truck ran over a man and
killed him. A coroner's jury, COM
prised of six members of the board
of safety commissioners, found the
driver culpable for exceeding the
speed limit allowed by law and the
Daily News for not having proper
lights on the truck. Evidence was
brought out before the jury to prove
that newspaper delivery trucks are
permitted to violate the speed ordi-
nance on boulevards.
found no story about the finding
of the jury in any paper, aside from
The Day Book, except the Tribune.
This indicates that there is some
truth in the charge that Chicago
newspapers suppress news if they are
involved in it.
Why was the Tribune the only pa
per in the trust to print the news?
Did the other publishers think their
readers had no right to know about
people being killed in Chicago streets
by newspaper autos?

ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN.

The American A. B. C. Combine
If President Wilson's peace policy
through mediation by Argentina,
Brazil and Chile is successful he will
have accomplished one of the great
est diplomatic feats in American his
tory; and will not only bring about
peace in Mexico, but throughout the
entire American continent.
1t is the beginning of an all-Amer-
lean alliance, and long step toward
universal peace.
The United States will be better off
as partner with other American re-
publics than it has been as the big
boss under the Monroe doctrine, with
the self-imposed task of preserving
peace on this continent
The attitude President Wilson is
putting this country in, in its rela-
ton to the republics to the south
of us, will clear away the suspicion
that our secret policy is to gradually
extend our southern boundary line
until our flag floats over Cape Horn.
And all truly patriotic Americans
will be prouder of Uncle Sam as Big
Brother than they ever could be
proud of him as a big boss.
Wilson is right. War with Mexico
is unnecessary. Let us have peace.

A cowardIy GoVenor.-So long as
the striking coal miners didn't fight
back when attacked by Rockefeller's
hired murderers and the equally muir
derous state militia, Gov. Ammons
was brave governor.
The moment the miners armed
themselves and began fighting back
in defense of their families and their
homes the cowardly governor holler-
ed for heIp-and wired the president
for federal troops.
Ammons, shines as a hero only
when he is fighting helpless women
and children or unarmed men. If he
eTer got into real war himself he'd
get shot in the back.

"These proposed treaties bind
us to submit questions affect
ing the national honor and the
vital interest of the United States to
the activity of joint commission.
OF course this means we would have
to submit the Monroe Doctrine itseif
to the action of such commission.
When such is the case 1t is mischiev-
'ous folly to make treaty binding ,us
to do the very things we do not do,
and that 1t would be criminal on our
part to do"

What former President Theodore

war and the present position Of the
United States in relation thereto Is
of unusual interest to the American
people. In his discussion Of the sub

ciples Of the Monroe doctrine fore.

as the reason the United States is
not drawn in to "the great cataclysm
which has engulfed all Europe in

The peace of the Western Hemis-

preservation of this doctrine. It is
for this reason that feel that the
arbitration treaties now pending in
the Senate would, II adopted, be In

would have any effect whatever. i
doubt If they would have much eff

they would be executed. But surely

nation to enter into treaties which

our sincerity and good faith.
