WHY THIS SUDDEN LOVE?

Why is it judges of the municipal
courts are so anxious to help fallen
women to another chance around
Christmas time? If these poor I'M
fortunates deserve mercy around
Christmas time why do they not de-
serve mercy 365 days in the year?
Because an ordinary child was born
1000 years ago, must we wait until
He has a birthday before we show
love and affection to our hayward
sisters about us? Did Christ wait
until He had a birthday and then say:
''He of you who is innocent, let him
be the first one to cast a stone at
herr" No! He said it every day in
His life.
The fact is that half of the munic-
ipal judges and all investigators
would be out of job if widows were
all cared for with their children and
if the fallen women were not con-
tinually nagged and driven about by
tale-bearers, grandstand reformers,
judges and investigators. The visible
supply of misery must be manufac-
tured if it does not actually exist, as

KINDERGARTEN

kINDERGAR EN- ADS. - Last
year at this time my little girl of 5
five came home from kindergarten
telling us we had to go to the Boston
Store and The Fair to see Santa
Claus. Teacher said So" 1t re-
quired us little time to convince her
that to look at these toys would be
very nice, but she couldn't get any
unless we had the money to pay for
them. My point is this: Would you
call it false teaching from the teach
er's part, knowing Santa is myth,
or free advertisement for these
stores or both.-Louis MarchaI, 1852

CONSTITUTIONAL

Should not strikers and other people
be told more about their constitu-
tional rights? Part of our Illinois
constitution is:
1.-The right of the people to be Sc
cure in their persons, houses, papers
and effects, against unreasonable
searches and seizures, shall not be
violated, and no warrant shall issue
without probable cause, supported by
affidavit, particularly describing the
place to be searched and the person
or things to be seized. "-Nathaniel
Bacon.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-12-22

our public institutions must be con-
tinually replenished or else public
officialdom would also be out of a job.
So it is a case all along the line of
you scratch my back and l will
scratch yours"
Two-thirds of the work pulled off
in our municipal courts is unconsti-
tutionaL. A fallen woman as rule
has no lawyer at all to take up her
side, or if she does he is poor excuse
for lawyer.
How many boys jerked into court
who have competent lawyer to fight
for them? How many defendants
obtain jury trial or have sense
enough to ask for one?
We never will get rid of fallen
women until we practice polygamy.
Every day that goes by the white
races are one day nearer polygamy,
not only in Europe, but in Mexico and
Canada, Turkey, Persia and Mo-
rocco have no fallen women because
all are given an equal chance. Our
possessions, the Philippines, practice
polygamy, and Brigham Young's
land did not have an Legitimate
child or fallen woman until the
United States govt prevented polyg-
amy. A big war is all that stands
between the U. S. and polygamy and
the salvation of all women as well as
of all children born. May God hasten
the freedom of the under dog and
free the defenceless from the slavery
of the marriage trust.-Allen Steven.

As will be seen from the photograph, there is a deep gulley on the opposite side where the train over turned. Had the murderers pulled the rail out on the opposite side undoubtedly all would have been killed. The train, instead of merely turning over. would have been literally smashed to pieces In it's fall over the embankment, which is about 25 feet deep.

 Near Scene of HOld-Up
 Within mile of the scene of the wreck fast passenger train of the Alabama Great Southern was held up and the mail car footed about a year ago. A great many people living in the nelghborhood of the men under arrest believe there is a possibility of their being connected with this job. All of those under arrest deny any knowledge of the affair, although the police are of the opinion that they may have been implicated in the plot.

'I turned" said Archie Lee, Ito see where Shan and Amos was; they was serambling into the wagon which was stopped on the road just back of where we were standing. l reckon we must have lost our nerve. Everybody wasn't killed. as Shan had said they would, and Lord God. them women and children crying out kinder got next to us. :
 T told Shan that he better not do that thing while we was pulling up the rail. said Amos Smith, but the fool wouldn't stop, so just helt the lantern and cussed him, but l guess he was some fraid after we heard the folks groaning; he didn't say a thing any more while We rode off in the wagon. After we got mighty near home I says to him: I rekon we killed some of em' Well. don't give d. he said, all you guys got to do Is keep your mouths shut and If any O them policemen say anything to you, cuss 'em out I don't see how them detective fel- lows got us," continued Smith, but they did, and now l guess we uns is in fer 1t.

I predict he will come clean inside of tS hours I have never seen a man with the actions and the looks of harder criminal than Shan Henry. We have the dope on him and he has sense enough to know It."
 The arrest and confessions of two of the men and the probable confession of the third closes the first chapter of one of the most diabolical plots ever con ceved by human minds to kill. rob and plunder.

 Young Woman Denies It
 The writer then turned his attention to buxom young woman who proved to be the eldest daughter of Amos Smith and asked what her name was. The young. lady drew up in scorn and informed the ouestioner Slat her name was Miss Mary smith. and put severe accent on the Miss" Well, Miss Smith, what have you to say about this thing "I hain't got thing to say 'cept everybody what sez my pa did 1t is a le' Whereupon the young lady said nothing more. All of the occupants of the room, including the visitors, refused to let the photog- rapher take their picture.
 In the back of Smiths hut was found a sled of the most primitive type. Not a rail had been used in the construction of the queer looking sled. Oak pins were Used where nails would have been neces- sary. There was not window in the room. The door was made of a solid piece of wood which appeared to have been hewn out of solid block. Not even wash basin could be found in the abode Of Smith. All of the children were ragged and could not have been washed in weeks Upon inquiry, 1t was learned that the nearest school was over four miles from the spot where the Smith family existed The hut is about half a mile off the nearest road and is situated on the crest of a hill.
 House of Shan Henry
 The house of Shan IJenry, said to be the chief consplrator in the plot is within a stones throw of the house of Smith It is in kind of hollow The house was built in the same manner as Amos Smiths. The only improvement was in the fact that one pane of glass adorned the side of the cabin and acted as window. The chimney can be plainly seen in the accompanying photograph. It is of the most crude type imaginable. being made out of stones. logs and mud. The meals of the family are evidently pre- pared upon the primitive hearth which Is built in a manner so as to adjoin the room The tar paper which covers the house is held in position by stones, there being no nails used.

Little news is permit ted to leak out regarding the opera tions at the front, but it is believed that the Allies are persisting in their attempt to break the deadlock and that both sides are suffering heavy losses.

DIPLOMATS LEAVE
 BALKAN CAPITALS
pairing for Entrance of Bulgaria Into the War.

LONDON, Sept. 2S.-Notwith- standing the denial of the Bulgarian government that Bulgaria's mobiliza- tion of her army is not intended for offensive action, it is believed that the Balkan states will soon be in the war. Diplomats are leaving the Bal kan capitals on pretext of illness and preparations are being made every where along the borders to repel in- vasions of to begin offensive move ments.
 The Servian ambassador to Bulga- ria has left Sofia and returned home claiming i'll health as the reason for his hasty action. The Bulgarian con- suls in Macedonia have also been re- called on the same pretext of ill health.
 Reports from Black sea ports say that the Bulgarians are still fever ishly working to erect Notifications along the coast to resist attacks by the Russian Black sea fleet, now in undisputed command of the sea. Ru- manian diplomats are also reported to be preparing to leave the Bulga- rian capital and all indications point to the struggle beginning shortly after the army of Greece has been mobilized.

ADMIRAL WATSON BEEN
 SUCCESSFULLY FLOATED.

SEATTLE, Sept. 28.-The steamer Admiral Watson, of the Admiral line, which was rammed and sunk by the Pacific Coast Steamship company's freighter, the Paraiso, was fioated today and will be lowed to the dry dock of the Seattle Drydock & Con- struction company. Divers succeeded in patching the eighteen foot hole cut in the Watson's hull by the Pa raiso, and the wrecker Santa Cruz has succeeded in pumping the vessel out without wrecking the bulkheads by pumping the water from all com partments at the same time.
 When the Watson was rammed and sunk her cargo consisted of lumber, steel rails and shipments of grocer ies for Alaskan merchants. Once the ship was lifted from the bottom of the bay she foated by her own buoy ancy. It will require several weeks before the Watson is again back on the northern run.

CATHOLIC PRIESTS
 SENT FROM TURKEY
Believed That Expulsion is Due to Their Efforts to Check Mas
 sacres of Armenians.

LONDON, Sept. 28-It is reported from Rome that the Turkish govern ment has ordered that all Catholic priests be expelled from the Ottoman empire, and that hundreds of priests are arriving at Russian Black Sea ports, and crossing into Bulgaria and Greece for safety.
 It is believed that the order expell- ing the priests is due to their efforts to protect the Armenians from mas sacre. The dispatches from Rome substantiate the reports of the Ameri- can missionaries that hundreds of thousands of Armenians have been slaughtered by the Turkish and Kurd soldiers.
 It has been announced that En- gland will take part in raising funds for the Red Cross operations for the relief of the Armenians. The Brit ish government has urged delay in raising subscriptions until Ambassa- dor Morgenthau, representative of the United States at Constantinople, has rendered his report to President Wilson, concerning the reported Turkish atrocities.

 The numerous raids of the German Zeppelins has caused intense hatred of the Teutons to manifest itself in England and men who have refused to enlist in defense of their country are being discharged from employ ment and regarded as lacking in pa triotism.

President Yuan Has Summoned An Army to Afford Protection to
 Convention Members.

PEKING, Sept. 28.-That the fate of the Chinese republic rests with the convention of citizens soon to be held in this city, has been declared ny President Yuan. The president states that troops have been provided for the protection of citizens who at- tend the convention which will de- eide if the Chinese republic form of government is to be continued or the monarchy be restored.
 The diplomats of the foreign pow CTS have been active in their attempts to guide the Chinese statesmen who win participate in the convention, to adopt a constitution which will fav- or their respective countries.
