Mayor Rolph of San Francisco is

interesting provision of the primary
law which relieves of the necessity
of going to the people in regular

a majority over all in the contest for

congratulated upon being able to ell

If the primary is adopted in Yer

Higher taxes and fear of conscrip,

Canadians to buy Vermont farms and
settle on them. While acknowledging
the good sense of these people in
choosing state in which to locate

They probably won't start kicking
about the town tax rate where they

British reports Of the fighting in
France dwell on the tremendous Ger
man losses and the German accounts
tell of the terrible slaughter of Brit
ish and French soldiers, The fearful
truth probably is that both reports
are true. When the full truth is
known it is likely to show that the
losses to both armies in this recent
onset have been the most serious OF
the whole war.

CIark-MemoriaI Quartette.

Messrs. Brigance, Flint. Evans
and SumIall. who compose the
Clark Memorial College Quartette
sang before q very large congreRa-
tion at the Baptist Church last
Sunday evening, attracting to that
popular resort for worship many
visitors -
The singing by these young
men, who are working their way
through the College they represent,
was a benediction and blessing to
the people WHO heard. Many said
1t was the most impressive and
beautiful evangelical service they
had attended. Rapt attention was
given each number by the quar-,
tette and perfect silence was OBJ
served throughout the vast audi
torium. while the harmonious
strains vibrated TIE heart-strinRs
of the listeners and left lasting
impression,
At the morning service. Mr..
Brigance, first tenor. gave a vocal
solo which emphasized the spiritual
fervor of that service.
From here the young men went
to Silver Greek for a similar SER
vice.
1t is hoped they may make a re-
turn trip to Brookhaven

SUPPRESS CRIME OR SUS-
PEND POLICE IN CHICAGO

Chicago, Dec. 19.-The hrst
move to clean Chicago of crime
and purge the police department,
pronounced last week by Mayor
Thompson to be rotten and honey
combed with grafters in colluslon
with crooks" was taken tonight
by Chief of Police Charles Heal>'y,
who sent out a drastic order to po-
lice captains to suppress crime or
suffer suspension
Chief Healey's order warned
commanding officers that charges
would be filed with the civil ser
vice commission against any cap
tam whuse district showed an in.
crease in crime without corre-
spending increase in arrests.
Each captain is to be held, strict
" accountable for crimes IN his
district.
The mayor, in statement made
after a conference with Chief
HeaIey, the assistant chief uf po-
lice, and the president of the civil
service commission, said that he
and the other conferees were con-
vinced that there was col!usion be-
tween members of the police de-
partmeat and criminals He as
serted that murders of policemen
had been numerous. and that some
of these officers apparently hao
been victims of plots within the
department.

CHARITY WANTED BUT NOT DESERVED
Several Examples Past Few Days Show
That Not All Who Apply
Should Receive.

There have been twU very strong
examples of persons applying for
charity to our citizens the past few
Gays where the parties apply ing for
aid did not deserve help; and If the
facts were really known from " hat
we have picked up many similar
instances have occurred
One of these samples of charity
got around with the aid of crutch
and had a very plausible tale to tell
in fact was so successful in one
way or another that he got on the
outside of so much "oil of joy" at
last that he threw away his crutch
and ''cussed out" few people be-
fore he was arrested on a plain
charge of drunk "
Another Gentleman Of the
road pretended to be a hard-up
preacher and so hoodwinked the
mayor, marshal aud city clerk that
the last TWO (Who are always chari-
tabIy inclined) were taking up a
collection to help him on his way.
Before they had completed the fund
they found out that their preacher
was pretending to other people that
he was a physician and in that role
mad endeaVored to get local physi-
clans to give him a "shot" of NOR
prime though without avail de also
made an effort to get one Of the
drug stores to fill a prescription
for morphine without success. 1t
is needless to say under the cir
cumstances that the Reverend"
did not get the lift that was in
preparation for him.
The restaurant proprietors here
are being constantly "bummed"
for meals The stream of beggars
has been so great at times that at
ter an unusual number of sollcita-
tions a day or two ago, one of the
propEietors gave orders to waiter
to give this man a bowl of soup"
and was met with this response: i
don't want any soup; if you can't
give me something else l won't
eat " He failed to eat at this
place

THINGS TO FORGET.

Forget the slaL der you have

Forget the hasty. unkind word.
Forget the quarrel and the cause
Forget the whole affair, because
Forgetting is the only way
Forget the storm of yesterday.
Forget the chap whose sour fsce
Forgets to smile in any place
Forget the trials you have had.
Forget the weather, if it's bad
Forget the knocker; he's freak
Forget him seven days week
Forget you're not millionaire.
Forget the gray streaks In your
hair.
Forget the home team lost the
game,
Forget the pitcher was to blame.
Forget the coffee when it's cold.
Forget to kick; forget to scold,
Forget the plumbers awfu
charge.
Forget the iceman'S bin is large,
Forget the coal man and his ways
(weighs).
Forget the heat in summer days.
Forget. wherever you may roam.
Forget the duck who wrote thil

Forgot that he, in social bliss,
Forget himself when he wrott
this.
Forget to ever get the blues,
But don't forget TO pay you
dues.

TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL.
About Sending in Correspondence
Rules in Regard to Pay
Entertainments.

The Leader feels that it is telling
a very old, old tale when it has to
again call the attention of its cor
respondents to the fact that they
must sign their names to notes or
articles sent in to The Leader for
pubIication-DOt that their names
will be published-but we must
know who the author is. Many
good lots Of notes so sent in have
gone to the Wastebasket and others
will find the same place il they
continue to be sent with no names
We want the news and notes for
the general iDterest of our SUBJ
scribers, We must know who sent
them
And then there is another matter
that has been explained ard doesn't
seem to be understood: All notices
of entertainments of any character
where an admission fee is charged
is considered advertising matter
by this paper before the date such
entertainment is held and for such
advertising this paper charges one
cent a word for each issue such nc
tices are published Somebody
must pay the fiddler" If II
costs to go to such affairs it il
worth something to draw up q
crowd and let the public know
what is going to happen Wnen
The Leader helps TO do this and has
OILY its space and subscrip-
tions to sell. wherever admissions
are charged, We will also have to
demand "a ticket" to admit
to our columns.
