81 felt when l looked at the home
of Bobby Burns and saw the shelf of
a place called a bedroom in which
twelve children slept, including Bob
by, l felt thankful that Burns was not
born in the city of Chicago, state of
Illinois in this era of reform, or he
would not have been the poet he is.
We would not have, allowed twelve
children to live in the home where
Burns dwelt; we would have taken
them away from their poor parents
and put them into institutions where
the love of life would be crushed out
of them.
I'm talking to Jane Adams at one
time l questioned: DO you believe
today if you had been placed in an
institution, and had been asked who
were your parents, and had had to
hang your head and admit that you
had no parents, because the state had
separated you from them, do you be-
lieve you could love the state that
had done thatzthing to you?'

of the court all day. This is a case in
which plaintiffs bring suit to recover

of contractors to complete a portion OF
the sewer nea the disposal plant, they

that the contractors agreed to pay
other contractors for the work if ii

While officials were at BrooKings
negotiating with business men of that
city, a delegation of Madison citizens
made an automobile trip to Brookings
and made "a formal proposition to the
officials to extend their line to this city.
The reply was that as soon as their
affairs were settled at Brookings they
would give Madison a hearing. They
are now making good their promise
and will meet the citizens of Madison
at the opera house in this city Thurs
day evening.
The Short Line is the biggest thing
that has been offered Madison in many
a year. and the enterprise is easily
within the reach Of our city. The
meeting Thursday evening will be the
most important gathering of citizens
held the city for a long time--and may
be the mean of increasing the value of
Lake county farm land and Madison
city property and increasing population
by securing to the city the Shoit Line
