Holding on to your boy at this age is
much like holding a bear by the tail. You

Now is the time for friend father to take
a reef in his moral courage and go after
the boy.
He is to remember. first of all, that the
boy Is quite as important as business. OF
course you AVE to look after the store
and retain your trade. but you also have
to look after the young cub II you expect
to retain him.
Hence Just sit down and plan for him as

you and the cub go out together. just you

stories. and eat sardines and pie out Of

Take him to the ball game. Sit by him.
Eat peanuts with him. Yell with him.
Take him to the circus. treat him to pink
lemonade and popcorn.
Make something for him to do around
your office or store on Saturdays. Let
him think he's helping. And don't forget
to pay him for it. And don't ask him
what he did with the last quarter you
gave him.
If his mother makes him go to Sunday
school, go with him. You've done worse
things for money; do this for love.
And Sunday afternoon walk with him.
And Sunday night read to him about

heart and a lump in your throat. and all
together a sweet and tende and half sad
and entirely happy feeling that no mortal

Also you will have done more toward

Big Business is up in the air.
Chicago's biggest gambling house
went on record yesterday against the
city action toward forfeiture suit and
seizure of the automatic phone sys-
tenn. The board of governors of the
Chicago Stock Exchange passed reso-
Iutions urging delay and declaring
stocks and bonds of Chicago utilities
will have hard time selling in other
cities if the property of the Chicago
Tunnel Co. is confscated. c. H.
Candy, president of the board of
trade, issued statement saying the
same thing.

let-up on the forfeiture suit. And

the tunnel and telephone game is
threatened.
Harriet Vittum, president of the
Woman's City club and one of the
active workers of the Penny Phone
league, nails the game this way:
''It is time to see whether a clear
and solemn fledge in a franchise
actually means what the words of it
say We are tired of the lies and
falsehood and dupEcity by which the
Illinois Telephone & Telegraph Co.
has refused investigation and delay
ed action, while its financial manip-
ulations we're netting millions to the
clever operators in stocks and bonds.
Forty millions of dollars of the
peoples money was obtained by the
original promoters through the issue
of stocks and bonds upon which no
dividends were paid and the property,
after being reorganized and plumber
ed in the most modern get-rich-quick
fashion, was eventually sold to the
interests now in control for $5,000,-
900. The present owners are group
of manipulators who should be held
strictly to the terms of their fran
chise.
Corporation Counsel Folsom will
do service for the people if he goes
straight through with forfeiture suit
rapidly, as possible. Court hearings
will undoubtedly show the plumber
and wreckage of the automatic phone
company as one of the most amazing
pieces of frenzied finance Chicago
has known" ....
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-05-20

feited to the city. They built their
tunnel, monkeyed along with a phone
plant and then tried to sell the phone
plant to the phone trust, keeping the
tunnel for themselves.
1t was a part of the franchise
agreement that the plant should be
forfeited if the tunnel company sold
or agreed to sell the automatic to
any other phone company. Now a
bunch of bankers are yelling them
selves red in the face because coun-
Gil is holding the company to its con-
tract.
Why is it that the big bankers of
a town are always found on the, side
of property rights and seldom if ever
on the side of human rights?
Why should council pay any more
attention to the yawping of the. For
gans, Dawes and other money-lend-
ers than to the needs of common
everyday citizens who earn their own
living and mind their own business?
None of these so-called big money
lenders is entitled to any more con-
sideration than any honest working
man citizen. Nobody elected the
bankers to think for the rest of the
community. Let them go back in
their cages and count the cash.
