THE PUBLIC FORUM
AWAKEN.

AWAKEN. - Shakespeare speaks
of a city of kites and crows, but it is
nothing to a city of sleepers and
dreamers.
Some Of the people sleep all the
time, all of the people sleep some of
the time, but all the people do not
sleep all the time.
To those awake it will be noted
that Judge Orrin N Carter has a GER
tain judicial record, particularly in
regard to street car affairs, and also
it will be noted that he has but one
opponent for the position of judge,
namely Frank L. Wood. The voters
generally, and street car men in par
ticuIar, should therefore be wide
awake on election day, June 7, and
cast a vote in the right place.-Ar-
thur w. GIadwin, 2348 w. Monroe St.

THE PHONE CASE.-In the case
of the Automatic phone company, big
business is greatly concerned lest the
people of Chicago compel some of
its cohorts to live up to their con-
tracts.
The proposition is a simple one.
The city offers a franchise under GER
tain conditions and the offer is &C
cepted. Bonds are issued and sold
with the above proposition as ba-
sis. If either party to contract fails
to perform his part of it, the other
party has a perfectly legal right to
withdraw or forfeit.
AS to the Automatic bonds being
in the hands of innocent holders, all
buyers must have, or should have,
informed themselves of the legality of
the foundation of these bonds. But
are these bonds held by the first buy
ers or are they held by subsequent
purchasers, who bought them at a
greatly reduced cost - spectators
who are taking gamblers chance?
Does big business want the people
to pay the price that these bonds
would bring if the venture had been
a success, in order that these specu-
lative buyers may get one hundred
cents on the dollar? Surely they do
not propose that this expected value
shall be returned to the original pur-
chasers?
Did big business come to the as
sistance of the innocent holders of
various certificates of Indebtedness
when the surface lines went through
their numerous acrobatic juggleries
in frenzied financing? No, they did
not. Yet thousands of innocent hold
ers were deprived of their securities.
The people have right to the en-
forcement of thir contracts. This
cry of innocent holders" and 'inno-

daughters from insult and worse.
Being a citizen and wishing for the
welfare of all other citizens and their
wives and daughters, as well as my
own, would like to see Chicago's re-
formers at least subdued, if not
chased out of Chicago entirely.-Wm.

West Indian Picnic

by the West Indian Aid Association on
August % was a record breaking affair,
so far as numbers were concerned. 1t
took place at She'll Mound park, and
being an ideal day for an outing, many
took advantage of 1t and went out early.
Manager T. Henry of the affair tells US
that he box office receipts show over
900 people. Many we'll filed lunch
baskets were in evidence. and it was a
good thing for Bob ChandleI's barbecue
lasted about as long as it would take to
say Jack Robinson. Dancing and races
during the afternoon were the chief
amusements, music being furnished bv
Mrs. Leaner and Herbert Clarke. At 7
O'Clock the Orphean orchestra was
installed, and kept playing with shor.
intermissions until IL o'clock. The
floor was managed by Sinclair Moore
and j. Bowman, and they succeeded IN
keeping good order for such a large
mum Der present. There were strangers
from almost every important city in the
United States. New Orleans and Chi
cago were we'll represented. About 10
O'Clock the prizes were awarded for the
most popular lady, the incest baby, etc.
Z. Henry, chairman of the committee,
deserves much praise for the grand
success and good management of the
