and to lay down certain foundation
pronciples which will enable US to
improve the common store of health.
More than wealth or power, men
desire health. When a person has
cancer, he would give all he has to
be, well again. Greed is certain
breeder of sickness. The only real
happiness. and basis for health is do
ing something for others.
Just now we want every one inter-
ested in health to be interested in our
plans for the new institution. We
want many to think about the propo-
sition.
We therefore ask people generally
to write and tell us what word, or
words, will best express our ideas of
what the new institution should be,
so that it may have a name which
vii be explanatory and significant.

MERELY COMMENT


In one breath Pres. Mccormick OF
the county board says States Atty
Hoyne doesn't dare go to the bottom
of the Lorimer bank mess;
And in another he blocks giving
Hoyne money to keep his witnesses.
If Mccormick really thinks Hoyne
is bluf1ng and won't go through with
that investigation -.
Why not call Hoyne by giving him
the money he needs to carry on the
work?
Some people may get the idea that
Mccormick himself is blocking that
bank investigation.
If Mccormick were blocking crook
ed politics by holding back that
money he would be justified.
But Hoyne is trying to make sew
eral investigations that the public
demands.
Now we are informed that Chicago
public utilities are controlled by Sam
insult, Ira NJ. CODE, B. E. Sunny, John
]. Mitchell, Henry A. Blair and Jim
Patten. .
And they ought to be owned and
controlled and. operated by the people
and for the people.
Now let the city experts trace the
connection of these men with the
banking system and find out how
much they control the peoples
money.
There's a swell system of inter-
locking directors in Chicago banks.
Before long well find out whether
Big Business went to the White
House to tell Wilson what to do,
OR
Whether the president sent for Big
Business to tell 1T what to do.
Maybe Woodrow is going to make
crooked Big Business straighten out.
He's had lots of experience as a
schoolmaster, y'know.

Government Ownership

The objection brought up
against government owner
ship of the telephone and tel
egraph companies in some re-
cent editorials is that il
would cost the government
5000, ooo,ooo.oo to take them
over, consequently the idea
was poohooed as unpraticable,
and to say the least, silly.
Now let us suppose it
would cost the Government
5000, 900, 10000 to buy these
companies, which is quite
piece Of change, still would it
not be better to buy them
once and be done with it than
for the people, who are the
Government,t to keep buying
them over and over every six
or seven year and have moth
ing to show for it?And there
is no use Of Uncle Samuel
having to pay an exorblnate
price for these water-logged
companies. They should be-
run through a wringer first
aud the water extracted, which
would lower the estimated
cost not little bit.
Afurther objection in these
same editorials,w was the inabil-
ity Of the Government to ma
mage such a large business
successfully, which on the
face of it is rot. The larger
the business the more
efficiently it can be managed.
Bringing several small comp
anles under one head cuts
down the overhead expenses
has been the cry Of the Stan
dard Oil Co. Why would not
this apply to combination
under government ownership?
There never was a change
aeltated yet, (which had the
betterment of the masses in
view, but that forthwith
would appear on the editorial
page(comic section)of a lot of
papers, a protracted wall , which
when anallzed would bear out
the belief, that the editors resp
onsible for such stuph were
mere lickspit,les and bellycra-
wlers with no more backbone
than an angle worm.
Why not have the streets
privately owned and a toll
collector on every corner?
