PURSES AND PREACHING.

IONOEO NM INEFtNI IIINNAs
Gospel Preachers: There is so much
preaching done in your churches
against the saloon business and liquor
interests, law breaking, disorderly
conduct, vice, etc. ..
Have you ever preached against
the Russian method of our beloved
police department, which is used in
the present garment strike? No! Why
not? Because the employer and man
ufacturer are, good paying members

of your church and are keeping you,
Mr.. Preacher, in good comfort But
that money this church member is
paying belongs to the working girl
and man, so, you gospel preachers,
you are living on the poor mans
wages. If you, Mr. Preacher, like to
be man, then raise your voice in
your church against the Russian
acts by our police department.
You, Mr.. Preacher, you are respon-
sible for low wages, crime and vice.
If some of you would like to go into
debate with me l am ready for you
any time.-A. S.

PICKET PROFANITY. -

blame the police always. Everybody
has a duty to perform, and our po-
lice officer has one that is probably
more trying than any other. If he is
commanded by his superior to use
obscene language in order to get the
girl strikers to abandon their places
he must do so, and the girl who is not
used to hearing such words is the
sufferer.
l happened to overhear CONVEX
sation between two girls on picket
duty, one of whom was hardly more
than 16 years of age. The elder one
said: eve should worry if we get
pinched. They'll take us out"
Now a girl of that type does not
care for hard words. They will do
her no good. She is probably used to
them. l could see from the express
sion of the younger one that it was
something new to her, but laughed,
and could, of course, not realize what
it meant. The only knowledge she
has of life is what she has seen in
moving pictures. How much will she
learn while on picket duty? Girls of
that age should be taken care of in
stead of chased out in early morning.
There are ways of settling this strike
without the use of profane language
and young, innocent girls as pickets.

ALL TRUE BUT THE NAMES
John Mortel, head ovenman of the
Black Bakery Co., had stood in front
of the huge revolving cracker ovens
ten weary years. Time was when
John was hale, hearty man, but the
fumes of gas and sizzling heat and
long hours had left him but a shadow
of his former SELF Apparently every
ounce of adipose tissue had melted
away. His STOPPING shoulders, high
cheekbones and CHASTITY color told the
story of occupational disease. When
the 6 o'clock whistle blew Mortel
shuffled out of the oven room more
dead than alive.
The summer of 1879 was one to be
remembered by man and beast who
toiled in factory or streets of Chi
cago. The oldest inhabitants do not
recall a summer when the heat was
so unbearable. When John Mortel
reached his tenement house on South
Halsted st. it afforded but slight re-
lief from the fiery furnace he had left.
During the summer his little brood Of
four had at different times been sick
on account of the heat and bad sani-
tation, and one night as he was en-
tering his humble home the priest
and doctor broke the sad news of the
death of his oldest child.
Johns wages had only been suf1-
cient to keep the wolf from the door
and this sudden emergency for ready
cash for funeral expenses, which is
always a terror to the poor, over

LYRIC

They continue to .tpack them in'' at the Lyric theatre at every perform ance with indications that next week s record will break even this weeks. The advance sale of seats for next weeks show has been phenomfnally large, the reputation of .sThe Only Son" having gone before it. This big New York success in which Wallace Eddinger scored his greatest triumph at the Republic theatre. Is 8 play which appeals to the masses and knocks home a great truth. It is a powerful play in every sense of the word and yet it's. strong lines and stronger situations are nicely temper ed by bright comedy, combining to
 make the offering a truly delightfuI drama
 Lowell Sherman, who will play the title role of '@The Only Son. In the production, will be seen at his best in this piece for, being a personal friend of Wallace E1ddinger, he has had the advantage of seeing him enact this play as the author and original dt- rector intended that it should be enac- ted. With the Broadway stars hints he will be able to give a presentation of the part which should compare most favoralbly with that of Eddinger himself
 Miss Suzanne Jackson will be seen to good advantage in this vehicle, and the members of the supporting com Ipany wil all have roles which can not fail to please The play will be ex- |cellent1y staged and will show at the theatre every evening, and every mat inee with the exception of Monday.

Supporting this renowned actress is a very cap able cast which most adequately pre- sents the great dramatic masterpiece of love and intrigue. Throughout the picture is very interesting and. of it. self, is well worth a visit to the the atre.
 Heading the vaudeville program is "A Day at the Circus" introducing Maud a mule that displays some Knowledge at lingering, and also shows a great disinclinatfon to De ridden.

 A little bit Of everything was 1n- cluded in the offering of Gordon and Rice. There were songs, talk, conn edy and some sensational trick bicycling that were all done well.

that we shall be able to do anything

POLICE COURT NEWS
LOOK OUT FOR A
TREE DOCTOR"
Two Grafters Hoodwinking
Housewives With Smooth
New Deal.

Two men representing themselves to
be tree doctors" are hoodwinking
many women Of the city, according to
Information received by the police de-
partment yesterday.
Chief Burns issued orders last night
to all officers to arrest the men and
an effort will be made to locate them
today.
From information | have received"
said the chief last night, lit is evident
that these two men are pure fakes.
They do not know anything about
trees. Their plan is to go to a house
when the men-folks are away and
solicit work In some cases the woman
in charge Of the household has en-
ployed them. Then they would saw
off a dead limb, stick some cement on
the sawed-off end and collect their
money under pretense that they had
made the tree healthy"
The chief is anxious that anyone
solicited by the alleged fakirs call
the police department. so that they
may be arrested.
