Chicago Summer Sports.-This
town is having a lively summer.
Thousands disport themselves in the
cooling waves of Lake Michigan and
other thousands get acquainted with
the grass in our various parks.
Some go to see the animals at the
Lincoln Park zoo, others visit the
movies and still others howl them
selves hoarse at ball games.
But when we pick up our daily
papers all of US revel in vice. The
furry in the levee gives all the papers
full opportunity to tell their readers
all about kings and print pictures of
some of the erstwhile queens of the
underworld.
Even the Everleigh sisters got
their pictures in one of the papers,
showing up prominently on one page,
while the pictures of some of our
swell sassiety folks we're just as con-
spicuous on another page.
And the whole town eats it up. Evi-
IDENTIFY the underworld is full of ro-
nance and adventure; and folks like
to read about it no matter how much
they condemn it to others.
There appears to be fascination
about vice. 1 sometimes wonder if
some men don't turn reformers so as
to get as near to vice as possible and
yet have a plausible excuse for their
intimacy with it, >

Is Kenna a Crook?-I don't know
much about Chicago politics or Chi
cago's underworld, but 1 have been
reading about "Hinky Dink" Kenna
in Chicago newspapers for years, and
most that / have read has been in
sinuation and innuendo. l don't
know what he is charged with doing,
for l have yet to read a specific
charge.
can't get at what his particular
offense is, and can't figure out what
the trust newspapers are trying to
make people believe Kenna is doing.
l presume there are thousands OF
people in Chicago who are much in
the same fix that find myself in.
That is they know the newspapers
persistently knock Kenna and create
the vague impression that he is some
sort of vice lord, but they don't
know what he has done. There is
nothing definite or concrete about
any of the charges.
Now if Alderman Kenna is a crook,
if he accepts bribes, if he sells the
people of Chicago out to the public
service grafters, if he collects tribute
from the underworld, if he protects
thieves and other crooks-in fact,
if he is in any way connected with
Chicago vice and crime, l. wish some
of the holier-than-thou newspapers
would give me some definite informa-
ton, so that can Judge for myself
whether think Kenna is good or a
bad citizen.
have asked number of men who
are supposed to know what is going
on in Chicago whether or not Kenna
was a crook; and not one of them
has said he was. Not one of them
could tell me of anything crooked he
had done; and l am still in ignorance.

vial. MOI Critical

F1ltfE issue between London and Washing
u ton is not critical, for a crisis infers
psychological conditions which do not exist
and which are not likely to exist The Amer
lean Government is seeking to reach
agreement under which American shipping
can operate, with the purpose, first, OF secur-
ing definite recognition of our rights as
neutral, and, second, with the idea Of reach
Ing an agreement which will preclude the
possibility of animosity and hard feeling
hereafter. The protest therefore, is peace
measure primarily, brought forth at time
when entire friendliness will mark the dis
cusgion. It lays the ground, too, for flnan-
cial reparation to American interests after
the war. It is devised dually to vindicate our
rights and to assure recompense for any
wrongs already suffered
The British claim Of fraud, while construct
lively admitted is not the vital question The
fact is that England has virtually put q ring
OF steel about all Europe and is subjecting
trade from neutral to neutral to Vigor-
GUS restrictions as cargoes destined directly
for beiligerents. The United States cannot
admit the right of Great Britain to revive in
exaggerated form the doctrine of ultimate
destination. Because Italy borders on Aus
tria is no good reason why trade between
italy and the United States which was per-
fectly legitimate year ago should be sub
ject to Interference now. Might makes right,
but not at the expense of the United States.
It is a fact that British orders in council
hundred years ago, against which the in
fant America protested SO vigorously, were
little more destructive of our trade than the
vast system of surveillance now in effect.
AS matter of fact, American Atlantic ports
are practically blockaded by British men
( of war which halt and inspect practically
every ship leaving port. The manner, too, in
which great marine highways have been
1ilned. practically preventing all commerce,
Is fudefensible and is only permitted because
there is no combination of nations strong
enough to prevent It, or willing to make the
sacrifice to do so.
The seas belong to no nation They are
no more Englands than were they Venice's
when that Imperial city regarded them "as
It's bride and warned all others to cease from
their adulterous intercourse" We are
standing on such high ground, with such
weight of argument behind us, that recogni
fion Of our salient claims is inevitable, sooner

Snug Councils Plays the Game


TIIE most significant thing about the job
i less men who f1ocked to the office OF Direc-
tor Harte yesterday was the obviously good
character of most of them. "They were
poorly clad, but glance showed that they
were not typical buns or chronic failures
mot men that somehow can't get along"
1t is evident that the $4,000 appropriated
by Councils for charitable purposes is Woe
fully insufficient. That much and more
week is needed. An industrial revival VIII
be necessary before all be taken care of,
for even the beginning of great public works,
with the attendant sympathetic impetus to
general trade, would not be sufficient to
relieve the situation entirely. But the city
can start the ball rolling.
The way is not hard. The United Gas I'M
provement Company is ready to undertake
the expenditure of ten times $4,000 If au-
thorized SO to do by Councils The substi
tuition of gas for gasoline lamps, at a saving
of thousands of dollars annually to the
municipality. is the proposal. But Councils
does nothing. 1t rests on its oars. For Mr..
Connolly Socrates of the Finance Committee,
has not only become parsimonous in regard
to the city's money, but has apparently APP
pointed himself a trustee to see that the
U. G. 1. does not spend any.

A Credit of soO.OOO,OOO

T1UROPE is practically at standstill pro-
p ductively. and Its necessities have re-
uuired it to purchase in abnormal quantities
from the United States The result of this
decrease in our imports and increase in our
exports is trade balance in our favor for
December of approximately 500, 100000.
The tariff has nothing to do with the sit
uation. 1t is the war that has brought it
about and it is the war that will continue it,
provided the Government is able in some
way to assure protection of our neutral
fralghts on the high seas. We have become
the cne great market of the world. and the
most vital problem that confronts US in rela-
lion thereto is distribution. There is no
troubIe finding people who want our goods;
The thing is to get the goods to them.
The impetus given our foreign trade is
likely to put us in so advantageous a posi-
zion before the world catastrophe is over
that It win require years for our chief COM
pstltors to set back on an equal footing with
1is. IL they ever do. 1t is not a condition to
EIoat over, but we may well be thankful that
the awful cataclysm has not wrecked utterly
tho whole fabric OF social intercourse. and
that this great nation can still uphold the
arts OF peace and commerce.

The CITY Is Mans

HIHE city is mans and Gods is the country.
J. From it's asphalt to its domes each
metropolis is material evidence of the in
genuity and vigor of humanity. This Won
der and that wonder, all are associated in
timately with great personalities, and all
alike are tributes to the splendor and glory
of man. The city is his work. his own
creation, his masterpiece of effort, and all
who live in it, consciously unconsciously,
have their visions warped and their stand
ards of measurement limited by the horizon
of stone and marble which surrounds them.
But the country is Gods. There are the
ilIimitable spaces, the magnificent splendor,
the reach of heaven, the birth and death of
day, the miracles OF creation, the recurrent
harvest. The weather is more important than
the theatre and the rain pours in rich volume
as the gift of Providence. Ar things unite
to concentrate attention on the mightiness
of nature, the marvellous arithmetic of
Providence the eternal harmonies. 1t is the
southland, where the human mind gets into
closer touch with the inhnities, and every
day has it's ancient miracles.
So, the man in the country has the more
religion and the man in the city needs it
more The one is spiritually influenced, the
other finds materialism drawing him like a
lodestone all the time. The one takes his
vision from books, the other from the skies
The city man needs more help in overcoming
handicaps. That is what the approaching
great revival movement is intended to give
him.

NTo YEAR has stamped the record of itself
IN so deep in human chronicles as 1914 II
marked the end of an era and the beginning Of
another. 1t gave birth to the grandest and
most fearful Of all tragedies, for in compari-
son with the catastrophe which 1t fathered
all others that humanity has suffered seem
almost trivial. It is year never to be for
gotten, but certain to cast its shadow FOR
ward over the last of its successors.
To the United States 1t has been a twelve
month that can best be described as Micaw-
berism All industries have been waiting for
something TO turn up. Prosperity has been
just beyond the horizon, keeping company
with the end OF the rainbow. Bumper crops
were not sufficient to balance the heavy
losses incidental to the catacysm in Europe
The increase in railroad rates, at first denied,
was delayed intermnably. The new banking
system provided for last December did not
become effective until November. The MeNi-
can situation was a long series OF postpone
ments. one week leading to war and the next

The Shovel Migh.ier Than the Sword

Fighting is still an absorbing game we con-
tinue to believe, despite the reports which lay
stress on trench digging and other similar ac-
tivities. Building the Panama Canal was pretty
absorbing work for steam-shovel men ana ensi-
neers alike and that was no more than trench
digging There is no question. however, that the
