live topic in "The three biggest
fakes in Chicago"
The biggest fake and crime of all
times is the effort of those who pose
as our friends and covertly attempt
to divert mankind from attaining po-
itical and industrial freedom. Here
are three ringleaders in the class that
is attempting to deprive men of their
natural rights.
1.-The churches. They appeal to
the skies for a solution of problems

that must be met in a material way.
More frequently they pass unnoticed
the cries of distress and offer pray
er when bread is wanted. They have
retarded progress more than any 9TH
er cause.
2-The press. 1t pretends affec-
ton for the working class, but be-
trays it and works against its in
terests on every occasion. Instead OF
pointing the way to prosperity it mis-
leads and offers excuses and bubbles
over nOn-essentials.
3-The politicians ''for revenue
only" Most of them are in it for
what's in it. They don't represent
anything of value and care not a rap
for their constituents.-T.H n.

THE W. us CONVICT PLAN

THE w. us CONVICT PLAN.-
A news item in your sheet of last
week stating the Western Union plan
to teach telegraphy to the conVicts of
Sing Sing and emplOye them as te-
legraphers eff they come well recon-
mended" was read with great interest
by the telegraph profession of Chica-
go. Speaking from the standpoint of
an old timer, would say we think it's
a good joke-on the convict. The
w. U. is looking for some cheap adj
vertising as philanthropists, but we
don't think the business world of the
United States has gone back to
point where it is satisfied to have it's
private kilograms and financial af-
fairs handled by a lot of forgers,
porch climbers, holdups, murderers,
etc. The Western Union officials
who have lately testified before the
federal commission claim they could
get along with 600 less operators
than they now employ. Then why
do they want to impose on the poor
convict by teaching him something
that will be of no benefit to him when
he gets out?
Study this picture for a few min
Utes: We see crowd of men, who,
for some cause or another, are re-

LITERARY FAKES.-I Il

-
biggest fakes in Chicago are the
dealers in literary paregoric such as
the Kaufmans and the SWEET Mar
dens dish out. This kind of writers
and photographers, it seems, don't
realize what calamity of "efficien-
Cyl would follow in the wake of their
advice if the ambitious would
straightway decide to live up to it.
Talk is VIGOROUSLY cheap, but it
takes The Day Book to hand out the
right kind of talk without strings to
it and along the right lines. The
really ambitious man doesn't need
the opium of any writer's for the trust
press, because when the opportunity
comes, that he's generally prepared
for, he won't have to look twice to
make a grab for it.
A man may have ambition without
direction. In this event the presence
of a woman may decide his course.
If it doesn't, he's just plain fool. j.
