THE PUBLIC FORUM

What is this Boys Brotherhood Re
public, the organization that last
week won an important victory for
the boys of Chicago?
Who is that noble and good man
who is guiding these boys and teach
ing them?
Never have l heard or seen of
group of boys embarked on cause
of that nature. l want all the read
ers of The Day Book to stop and
think. Here is a boys club which
seems to be looking out for the in
terest of others and not for their own
selfish benefits.
What a great pity it is to see that
there is only one of its kind in this
city. Instead of helping the Boy
Scouts and other organizations of
that kind, what a blessing it would
be for all of society to give and to
assist these boys in making their club
the greatest in this city and extend it
to all of our country.
When the general reader of the pa
pers read last week that Judge Olson
was going to install finger print
system in the juvenile and the boys
court they only gave it passing
thought. But, thank God, there is in
this city of ours a club of boys, who
being boys themselves, know and feel
the impression this system would
leave on the sensitive mind of the boy
or child "a criminal impression).
They raised their voice in protest
against this rule and their protest
was heard.
The committee that braved the
clever judicial oratory of a chief JUS
tice of the Olson kind, and met with
success, deserves all the credit in the
world. Those boys are leaders, and
1 would suggest that if any of the
boys of that committee are at pres

mile run. This he won in the fast
time of 4 minutes So is seconds

MILL OPERATORS NOW
FEELING OPTIMISTIC
Business Outlook Is The
best Since The First
OF The Year

The Yellow Pine Mills in the
Ozone Belt are feeling more optim-
lstic over the business outlook than
at any time since the first of the
year. The demand for yellow pine
lumber and timber is increasing
and all the mills are now assured
OF a maintainence of their recent
advance in price. Firm business is
now in the hands of the purchasing
agents Of the railroads and car
companies which will require very
large amounts of Yellow Pine, and
the entrance into the market, at
this time, by such heavy consumers
of lumber as the railroads and car
companies gives an impetus to the
market which is bound to produce
the desired results. 1t would appear
that there is much more railroad
and car material to be bought with
in the next thirty days than at any
time during the past several months.
Yard stocks in the northern re.
tail yards are moving rapidly in
most of the large cities which, COUP
led with the scarcity of a large
number Of items throughout the
southern mills, is yielding the manu-
facturer better prices for their pro.
duct.
