suit OF the primary of Tuesday, there
Will be practically an entirely new set
of county officers to begin their duties
on the first of January. In the place
OF Mr.. F, L. Dunn. who has been
sheriff OF the county for the past four
years Mr. r, l.. Sullivan, who for
some years has been town sergeant Of
Blackstone, will I'll that position. For
treasurer, Mr. r. l. Overton, of
Burkeville. has defeated Mr. r.. NJ.

This was the emphatic statement
made by T. Il. Jones. one of the three
remaining members OF the school
board, who returned from a trip to
the western part of the State.
While he would not state as much.
Ii was plainly evident that Mr.. Jones
and the ather two members propose ts,
tight hard to retain their Offices and
that the resolution Of the Council call
ing on them TO resign will not be
complied with until the Council gives
some specific reason why they should
resign. Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Phillips
are awaiting the return TO the city Of
Colonel K. w, Huffman, and II is likely
that a statement setting forth their
side of the controversy will then be
issued to the public.
Indications are that the fight has
only begun or will not be begun until
Colonel Huffman returns.

GRADE CROSSINGS AND AUTOS.

Motor Age for April gives very
interesting article regarding grade
crossings and automobiles. 1t says:
Owners and drivers throughout
the state of California are affected
vitality by a recent decision handed
down by the supreme court, which
once and for all time places upon the
operator of car the duty of coming
to a full stop at dangerous railway
crossings, whether or not that cross
ing is protected by warning bells. 1t
also takes away from the driver the
right to collect damages where he
fails to hear a whistle blown or a
signal sounded.
Under this ruling drivers cannot
collect damages for accidents, even
when the view of the track is not
fully free and open, and when no sig
nal from approaching train is heard
unless he has brought his car to full
stop at point where he can look up
and down the track before attempt
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-05-28

ing to cross. The decision, which
was handed down by Judge Melvin
and concurred in by Henshaw and
Lorigan, was in the case of o. G. Grit
fin against the San Pedro, Los An
geles & Salt Lake railway"
Let it be sincerely hoped that the
state of Illinois won't hand down such
law (favoring the railroads). What
show would the autoist have in get
ting a fair deal with decision of this
kind?
Why doesn't the supreme court
compel the railroads to remove all
obstruction from these death traps,
where in most cases the autoists are
unaware of danger until it is too late?
Fewer accidents would occur.-P. w.
Barclay.

THE PUBLIC FORUM

THE PUBLIC FORUM
"WHAT Is THE USE"
BY Geo. 3. Mccomb
What is the use of worry?
What is the use of fears?
Why do you always hurry
To cross the bridge of tears?
What is the use of sorrow?
Why do you always sigh?
The sun will shine tomorrow
In a bright and summer sky.
Why are you always pining?
Why are you always sad?
Each cloud has a silver lining
And tomorrow you'll be glad.
So just you keep on smiling,
No matter what may come,
The dreary hours beguiling
With laughter, song and fun.
And just forget the. worry,
And just forget the fears,
And just forget to hurry,
When you get to the bridge of tea

REPLY TO NOLAN.-In regard to
the letter from Nolan of 1922 w.
Jackson blvd. in The Day Book, about
the smell of the fish peddlers' baskets
on the Halsted st. cars, l beg to an
swer same in this manner:
If Mr.. Nolan can afford to live on
Jackson blvd. and go to work as a
sport, he ought to be thankful that he
is not one of us poor unfortunates
who must go out and make a living
for a family with a fish basket on
each arm.
So, Mr.. Nolan, please smell your
part and let these men make their
livelihood, as there are many other
people who also ride the cars daily
and take the smell good-naturedly.-

Chicago Lecturer lays Women Ought
to DO the Question Popping.

Chicago. ILL.,. Jan. 12.-"Every wo-
man has the right to select her hus-
band
This is the first of the five rights
of women outlined by Mrs d. B.
Wells, noted lecturer, in the meeting
of the International conference of the
Middle West for Missions, held in the
Eleanor club rooms.
The five rights are:
First-RiSht to select her mate.
Seco1d-Pight to be physically de-
veloped before motherhood
Third-Right TO have personal care
during motherhood.
Fourth-Right to instruction in the
duties and responsibilities OF mother
hood.
Fifth-Right to perform these
duties and responsibilities as she
knows how.
Mrs. Wells. who talked to some 200
women. said that these five rights
must be acknowledged, since man
has been so careless about his respon-
sibiities.'
She cited statistics regarding the
families OF drunkards.

Hugo Lutgens brings the Novelty
bill up to a good standard this week
Lutgens has an act that is rarely seen
in vaudeville, that OF portraying
preacher and getting away with it. His
first English sermon kept the audi

tinuous laughter. while he kept a
solemn face. Lutgens halls from the
Scandinavia of America. Minnesota,

ciate of the late Governor Johnson

cycling and comedy They are billed
as "A Circus on Wheels" Bruce Nor

Hip Review.
Before a capacity house the Fer
guson Brothers Stock company pre-
scented THE American Hustler" at the
Hip last night. The play is a comedy
meIodrama Of a style that is rarely
seen nowadays and brings to mind the
good old repertoire days of old But
the FergusonS put the snow on well
and the audience was with them from
start to finish
Eddie A. Ferguson bore the brunt
of the comedy and he did remarkably
we'll with it. Albert Ferguson had
another leading part and the two re-
ceived a round of handclapping on
their first appearance. Miss Van
Esse, the leading woman. interpreted
her part as it should be done and will
probably prove popular to the Hip
patrons Other members in the play
were Miss Montgomery, Miss Delzell,
Fred Bart1ette, Rex Wilson, Chic
Kehoe.
