is not written for the purpose of ex-
posing or disgracing our worthy po-
lice department in any way, merely
to give the citizens of Chicago an
opportunity to use their own judg-
ment on the outrageous way in which
the police are threatening the masses
of unemployed who are compelled to
seek the cheapest quarters in the
city in order to exist.
This article is referring to West
Madison ST., where 1 myself am oc-
cupying a room at the Salvation
Army hotel, better known as the
Workingmen's Palace. Now you
will, of course, say: "Oh, well, he is
a bum" But you are wrong. 1 am
a workingman and my salary enables
me to live in more fashionable parts
of this city should I choose to do so,
but 1 have still more to learn down
here, and as a citizen 1 imagine have
the privilege of living wherever it
suits me.
Now, the so-called tramps and buns
are class of people who have always
existed and always will exist. They
are human, but in nearly every in
stance are not treated as such, and
every one is willing to give them
credit to be everything but that. No
one ever took the trouble to find out
why they are such and what made
them what they are and what they
really are. But in many instances it
has been found that the tramp or bum
possesses more knowledge of life and
has a much kinder heart than many
who claim that knowledge makes
the man" in this so-called civilized
world.
Now, it is a convenience in this
district that any one can pay for his
room at night if he has not the means
to do so by the week. 1t is a privilege
by which you are not accommodated
in several other parts in this city. It

year felt the necessity of an income
of some kind, and in many instances
find it almost impossible to keep their
debts away.
In those cases many single men
can be included who are ashamed to
live in place that their friends who
are working and in good standing
don't approve of. That, of course, is
a fault which can only be judged by
circumstances. Others again who
realize and have sense enough to
understand their own situation seek
cheaper lodging until better times
come, but are in many instances dis
gusted, and why? Between the hours
of and at nights it is the custom
of our police dept to send their
wagons around to Madison St and it
is also the custom of the hotel man
ayers on said street that if your room
is not paid for you cannot hang
around. Now in some of those lodg-
ing houses the managers give the
people a chance to work for their
room, but as the work, which usually
consists of cleaning up, seldom be-
gins before IL o'clock at night, where
will they keep themselves until that
time?
The police department is taking
good care to keep the same officers
on the beat who know the proprietors
and the neighborhood well, and if
any one happens to be in their WaV
on the sidewalk he is sure to be ques-
toned, and if not to satisfaction, in
the wagon he goes. Now, 1 have
heard some people say: "Only a
bunch of drunkards." But if they
would stop and realize that the ma
jority of those men are forced to en-
ter the saloons in order to avoid the
illegal arrests" that these officers
conduct, they would not be so hasty
in condemning the man who comes
out drunk after the officers are leav-

DR.. Southern a Winner.

Several of the farmers of this
community have been bringing
samples of their growing wheat to
town the past few days. but it fell
to the lot of DR.. Southern to carry
off the prize so far. The genial Doc
tor has a field of 80 acres and if
the field is anywhere near as good
as the sample he sure is going to
have some wheat. The straw, from
root to tip of head measured close to
five feet in length and the head was
well filled. If Monroe county does
not contribute largely to the -four
supply this year it will be a funny
thing. The men who are producing
such wonderful samples of their
wheat are the ones who are making
farm work study and are coming
to realize that a good fertilizer

to Lend q Hand.

With general push and an all

mess men Of Monroe City are sub
stantially increasing their business.
The merchants, mechanics and pro-
afessional men of a town or city are
practically responsible for its
growth When you find commu-
nifty where every man has a differ

and absolutely refuses to help in
any matter unless his suggestions
are given preference you will find
dead town and the only things that
keeps it from making a trip to the
cemetery is that the undertaken
is dead also.
The business men of Monroe City
are not in this class-they are very
much alive. There is no picnic or
public gathering near by but what
practically every business man is
either there or represented in some
way. Visiting and becoming &C
quainted with the consumer is the
practical way to boost a town and
its business houses. The people
who are visited do not forget the
matter and it is only a question of
time until the visit is returned.
The business men of Monroe City
want the citizens of Monroe county
to come to Monroe City, not alone
in a business way but social way
as well. They have even gone so
far as to offer inducements aside
from bargains in their varied and
different lines. A free picture show
is given on Saturday afternoon at
the Gem Theatre. This is not done
because they think the majority of
farmers can't afford picture shows.

the farmers visit to Monroe City.
The commercial club is continu-

new plans whereby a better IN

the business man and the man or
woman with whom he comes in
contact. Some people seem to think
that a commercial club is only for
the purpose of getting factories and
other industries to town. This is
not so, as that only forms small
part of a commercial clubs mission
and a part that is seldom real

EIreproof Clothes.

DR.. William II. Perkin, the English
chemist, has found a method of max
ing cotton cloth absolutely fireproof,
so that 1t will not burn even when held
in a gas-fame. One fireproof garment
was unframed by twenty washings,
and another which had been worn for
two years and washed every week.
Neither could be burned, though the
latter was worn almost to rags. This
fireproof cloth costs about penny a
yard more than untreated cloth.
Not only will this flreproofed mate
rial be found suitable for the manu-
facture of clothes for firemen. but it
may also be used by women for the
finest party dresses, the most deli
cately-colored fabrics being unframed
by the process and even given a softer
appearance. For children's clothes 1t
should be particularly desirable, since
It is likely to prevent many accidents.

MACHINE TO TEACH MUSIC
After-schooI Practice Hours May Be
Lightened as Result OF
New System.

AS the result of a system OF mu-
steal time-recording records for talk
ing machines lately devised by Jules
Louis-Elson of Far Rockaway, N. Y,
the prospect of after-school practice
hours on the piano stool may be light
ened for juvenile music students.
The principles contained in what
the inventor terms his scenario may
be interpreted on six double-disk talk
ing machine records, or, the same re-
suit may be obtained in a condensed
form by combining all of the musical
counting or time recording on one
record only.
On one side OF the record are ex-
amples cited by the instructor in oral
text; on the other side is the oral
count of beats, as 1, 2; 1, 2, 8; l, 2,
3, 4, etc. A concluding specimen OF
the oral instruction text is as fol-
lows: For example, let us take the
Presto form (the record plays II
bars). Now, when you consult the
printed music you will notice that the
quarter, or c (as it is printed), is
barred This serves to indicate that
one should count in two. The record
now sings as a teacher does the pre-
viously played bars of the Presto, en-
phasizing the count: /, 2; l, 2. Thank
you"
