Packey Mcfarland is back at his

to Mrs: Packey to decide if the family
bankron shall be increased further
by the big money Packey can pick
off in the prize ring any time he goes

Packey quit the game almost two
years ago. 1t was his wife, then his
fiancee, that brought about his retire

That and the $3.50, 900 in ring earn

But quitting the ring is mighty
hard task, especially when there's no
man anywhere near your weight who
can beat you and the promoters are
willing to pay your price any time
you want to fight.
That's the way things stacked up
for Packey, so he induced his wife to
let him fight one more battle.

ORGANIZE TO PROTECT FROM
BAR AND BENCH

BAR AND BENCH
The Citizens Court Protective assn
was organized last night in public
mass meeting which was held in a
hall at seth and Halsted SITS. The
purpose of the organization is to pro-
tect its members from the uncour-
teous members of the bar and bench.
1--WE need such protection when we
look at our municipal courts" Miss
Juliet Cunningham said in address,
ing the meeting. eve call ourselves
Americans and yet we elect men who
misuse our courts. We allow a man
whose training was obtained in one
of the old justice shops to mount the
bench daily and exhibit a lack of
knowledge of Illinois law as profound
as his lack of knowledge of English
grammar. We allow another judge to
mount the bench, not daily, who has
a prediction for alcoholic liquors,
prediction so great that one has
only to mention 51st and California
av. and the identity of the Judge is
known"
Miss Cunningham founded the So
ciety with the idea of sending watch
ers to the court to report the behavior
of attorneys and judges.
Hart Vance, 722 Roscoe ST., was
elected president of the new organiza-
ton, and those who wish to become
members can get into touch with him
or with Miss Cunningham at 1874 w.

jump on a man and stir up pubic
prejudice against him when he
about to go on trial on Criminal
charge.
The fight on Lorimer in this CAM
paign is cowardly for that reason.
Lorimer is down politica aaB

Roger Sullivan ought to stop Il for1

sake of his old-time friendship
Lorimer is human. So are the
members of his family. He is about

that trouble enough for one family

He's big, has money and can stand it.

Nobody ever became hero kick

the professionals. Winners get the
bouquets, but when their usefulness
is ended they get kicks.
There's one thing good about the
campaign, anyhow: ~
Neither SWeitzer nor Thompson

The complete Hyomei outfit is in

that can be carried in the vest pocket,
medicine dropper and bottle of

and if one bottle does not give perm

mel can be obtained at any time for
a trifing sum. 1t is more economical
than all remedies advertised for the
