AUIOMA PHONE GRAB MADE
BIG ISSUE BY VOTERS LEAGUE
The attempted automatic phone
grab is made one of the big city issues
in the report of the Municipal Voters
league issued today. In its recon-
mendation of support for Aid. Mer-
Ram in the 18th ward the league says:
CAS- a member of the committee on
gas, oil and electric light Aid. Mer-
Ram took a leading part in telephone
and electric light regulation and al
most single-handed prevented pur-
chase of Automatic Telephone Co. by
Chicago Telephone Co., until proper
jolicy could be determined"
In the policy of Furnishing it's
friends and rewarding it's enemies
the league report makes no mention
of the fact that Morton L. Johnson,
who has done a lot of single-handed
fighting against the Automatic phone
grab, is running for alderman in the
33d ward.
The league asks defeat for Aid.
Thomas J. Ahern, 18th ward, saying
his blind partisanship makes it diff
cult for him to deal fairly and intel
igently with council questions" In
this, the league goes against the
street car mems union which wants
Ahern reelected because he is an old
street car man and voted in favor of
an ordinance to give the car men a
straight ten-hour day Most Of the
car men now putting in ten hours a
day have the ten hours spread be-
tween mignight and midnight so that
they spend four and five hours a day
travelling to and from the car barns
and waiting to go out.
Three Socialists get the o. K. of
the league. One is William E. Rod
nguez, 18th ward. He is former bust
ness agent of the painters union,
now law partner of William A. Gun
nea. He is reported as "a. man of

Aid. Kenna, LIST ward, gets this:
''He now has no real opposition in
the richest ward of the city. His use

the city bring about this condition"
The Socialist, Lester Phillips, should

by the M. V. L.

Gil governed city" it stated. ''It is in
reality of greater Importance to have
a good council than to nave a good

local laws and frames ordinances. It

that grants franchises and regulates
public service corporations.
Aid. Henry D. Captain, Republican
candidate 25th ward, gets an o. K.
Though States Atty Hoyne once
said the traction companies don't
need a lawyer to talk for them so
long as they have Aid. Captain as a

that on that committee Captain

WHAT SHALL WE DO?
(ActS 2:3O

A life without a question is
unthinkable. Human living
largely hinges on the sort of
questions on. is concerned
about. A hopeful feature IS
more and more the questions
agitating humanity centres
about the inequalities of life,
out of which grow much of
human discomfort. Caste is
still present in society. The
merest novice in sociology
knows we all live on one
anothers labors. The areu.
ments against human brother
hood will not stand the test.
From the King on his throne
to the bessar in his rags there
is not a single difference be-
tween man that is not man
made. Getting down to basal
facts, the margin of difference
is negligible and exists solely
because of the consent or en-
forced actions of man. Many
answers to the questions of
human life-Bud dha answered,
CONTIGUOUS answered. Go to
the Orient and see the result.
Any answer given to the
questions arising out of life
must come at last to the judg-
ment Of the finished product of
the system involved.
Christianity is no exception
and we who confess Christ
should be careful not to mis-
represent Him.

hood is the finished product of
the program of the Christ
Prof. James says "Conver-
sion is the only means by
which a radically bad man can
be changed into a radically
good person."
And Jesus says Come unto
me all ye that labor and are
heavy laden and | will give
you rest" Have you tried
the Christ remedy? If not
you have no right to complain
of the lack Of brotherliness in
the world. What will you do?
