his beautiful head and his soft eyes to

drums nor trumpets had played it, but
there was no doubt about its being at

soothed his nerves when he was a sick

He remembered it when he had dozed
by the fire and dreamed of chasing
cats and barking at Brunei and being
faithful dog all around; he heard
again a beloved voice hum it to him.
Pitchoune whined and softly jumped
down from his seat. He put his fore
paws on Miss Redmond's lap. She
stopped and caressed him, and he
licked her hand

ittions and picked Mayor Thomp-

son.
The political system of the Chicago
street railways has been on the job
hot, heavy and fast the last few days
trying to stop the big wage raise for
the street car men.
Former Congressman Fred Lundin
is the man the system centered on
for reaching Mayor Thompson. Lun-
din is political manager of Mayor
Thompson and the main dynamo of
the organization behind the mayor.
Word was sent Lundin that if Mayor
Thompson stands for a Scent an
hour wage raise for all f1rst-year men
and other wage raises demanded by
the men the fractions companies
have power to punish the Thompson
organization in two ways:
/. No traction money for any pO-
itical campaigns of Thompson.
2. No support for Thompson by
the traction political system in the
many wards where street railway
politicians rule.
Two men close to the mayor are
reported to have spoken a good word
for the street railways. These two
are State Sen, Sam Ettelson and Dan
Schuyler, attorney for the State
street stores and the Chicago Tunnel
Co.
The mayor has been told that the
street car companies can take an ar
bitratiOn award to the courts. No
DOdy's afraid of court action, how
ever. 1t would discTedit arbitration.
And Big Business in Chicago isn't
ready to kill the arbitration idea. It's
handy for them most Of the time.
Mayor Thompson will go away up,
as a popular figure, if the demands Of
the car men are granted. 1t will be
taken as clear proof that all attempts
of the traction political system to
reach Thompson failed.

NEW DOPE LAW

The new federal statute, designed
to reduce and ultimately eliminate
the use of morphine, cocaine, etc.,
which went into effect March 1st.,
is working havoc with those unfor-
tunates who have become slaves to
the use of such dr.gs.
All doctors and druggists are for
hidden to prescribe or sell it except
in very limited sense and since
the penalty for a violation Of the
law is fine of $4,000 and five years
in the federal penitentiary, the lid
has been put on very tightly here
and everywhere.
Many of the unfortunates are be-
ing broken of the habit by a gradual
daily reduction of the drug, but as
the habit is hundred times worse
than the drink habit, their suffering
is very great.
One unfortunate, who realized he
must be restrained while being
treated and who said he was suffer-
ing the "torments of the damned"
Monday begged County Attorney
Senff to have him locked up in Jail
for a couple of eeks, which an
rangement has been made and he is
getting along well under the care Of
a physician.
The ultimate result will be very
beneficial to society and such a law
ought to have been passed years
ago, but until cured those addicted
to this awful habit certainly have
our sympathy.
