THE OPINIONS OF THE
PEOPLE $40
To the Editor:


uufres the Board of Election Com
missioners to select a polling place
in each precinct, Gin the most public,
orderly and convenient portion there
Of" .-......
A polling place has for many years
been established at Hull House, 800
South Halsted street Just before the
last aldermanic election, however,
when the precinct boundaries were
changed, the board, without any
hearing, changed the polling place
from Hull House to small tobacco
store on Blue Island avenue.
There have been no important cleo
lions since the change and there has
been no occasion, therefore, to COM
plain on account of the inconYen-
fence, but with the approach of the
general elections and the enfran-
chisement of the women, it is very
important to select suitable polling
places. The practice of accommo-
dating tobacco shops, barber shops
and other private business places
should be abolished. These places
are as a rule dominated by gang of
men who patronize the shop, are in
innate with the owners and paid for
the days work by some political or
ganization. The .hangers-on humili-
ate the voter known to be opposed to
them. This problem is made more
serious by the fact that the women
are about to go to the polls. for the
first time. ~a-i 80 ~
Although this particular change in
the 9Th precinct of the 18th ward is
in itself not so important, the prin-
ciple involved is large. The character
of our polling places in great meas
ure determines the character of our
elections. Perhaps there will be few
er fraudulent elections if the Board
of Election Commissioners were not
influenced in the selection of polling

dred soldiers rode their horses.
Sabers were drawn. The ear of one
woman was slashed almost from her
head Another woman was cut
across the face. Still another had
her hands cut.
A little boy of ten says soldier
leaned from his saddle, clenched his
fist and struck the child in the cheek.
And Chase, self-appointed car
over the striking miners, is declared
to have.struck at women with his re-
volver.
Not content with matching their
brute strength against the weakness
of the underfed wives and children
of the strikers, the craven soldiers
and the car drew their weapons and
used the strength of their horses.
And afterwards, at the order of
Chase, six of the women were ar
rested, three of them declared to be
seriously wounded.
We grow hysterical over the bar
barism committed in other countries,
but when an atrocity like this takes
place in. a flower state of our "ciyil-
lied" country, we seem unmoved. 1
wonder why?

QUEER TALES FROM
ANIMAL KINGDOM

The chief reason birds have tales
is to enable them to steer while fly
ing; but the f1amingo and stork have
legs so much longer than their tail
feathers that they serve as rudders.
The flamingo is one of the few
birds whose mouth is upside down;
this. is because it inverts its head
when feeding, and uses its upper
mandible as a hook and scoop.
It is one of the careful little tricks
of nature to provide the young fam
lingo with straight bills until their
legs are long enough to go wading;
this enables them to feed off the.
ground.
- Flamingos build their nests on the
ground but in the shape of an fnvert-
ed cone; this enables them to sit on
their nests as one sits on the edge of
a, table, -.

NO NEW LICENSE
AFTER CONVICTION
Supreme Court So Rules, in Cas-
sidy Case, Settling Important
Liquor Law TangIe.

The Supreme Court handed down
decision on Wednesday in the case
of S. D. Cassidy, of Bibb County,
which settles a new point in the adj
ministration of the prohibition law.
Cassidy, a near-beer dealer, was
convicted of selling intoxicating liq-
uors under his license to do business
as a vender of imitation or near"
beer. After this case was disposed
Of he asked the Ordinary of Bibb for
a new license to sell near beer" and
this was refused, the Ordinary hold
ing that his former conviction dis
qualified him for relicense.
Cassidy brought a writ of manda
mus against the Ordinary in the SUI
perior Court of Bibb, to compel the
Ordinary to issue the license, on the
ground that 1t was a legally recog-
nized business, and he had a right to
engage in it.
The writ was refused. and Cassidy
appealed to the Supreme Court, and
this is the case affirmed in Wednes-
days decision. The high court held
that the Ordinary pursued the proper
course in refusing to relicense Cas-
sidy.
In his appeal Cassidy set up the
contention that his Federal rights
had been invaded by the Ordinary's
refusal to relicense him, but the
Georgia court denied this contention
also. 1t may be, however that the
case will go to the Federal Courts on
this point

."Holy Rollers" Who
Beat Boys Cruelty
Threatened by Mob

NEWTON, ILL, Feb. 1S.-The
Newton Jail was being guarded to-
day by a dozen citizens, sworn as
deputies, to prevent the threatened
lynching of four religious leaders
known as Holy Rollers" who are
charged with beating two small boys
to rid them of devils" The mob
that gathered about the Jail last night
did not storm the building because
none Of the mob appeared capable of
leading the angry men. Among the
prisoners is a woman.
The scene about the Jail followed
an assault upon the Rev. d. p. Ly-
ons, head of the Holy Rollers" in
court late yesterday afternoon, when
the SCARED backs of the two boys
were shown to the jury. A crowd of
men in the courtroom administered a
severe beating to the preacher before
Sheriff Pippin and his deputies re-
stored order.
Later the Sheriff and his deputies
formed a square about the prisoners
