ical brute is armed with club and
gun and then sent out to do the
work of a pirate master.
Under our present police system
few policemen can remain honest
and humane.
Our police system is a putrid mess,
and while it remains as it is-a sys-
TEN of protection for predatory in
terests and other wealthy lawbreak-
ers-it can be nothing else.
1 have thought for many years a
great city would have more decency,
more peace, less thievery and black
guardism, and surely less taxes on
the oVerburdened taxpayers if it had
no police at all.
But if we are to have police let us
select them for their general intelli-
gence, the information they can give
the citizen when desired, their kind
ness of heart, their education, and
not for the strength of their arms or
thighs.-T. P. Quinn.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-11-09
POLITICAL SUPERSTITION.

TOEI ISHL OUT ENO iSINS -
During the last municipal election
group of Chicago workingmen were
ignorant and foolish enough to pub
Iish full-page advertisement in the
newspapers asking other working
men to vote for Thompson for mayor
because his election, they declared,
would restore prosperity to the city
and in particular to the steel indus
try.
Conditions in the steel trade and in
general are now better than they
were early last spring, and undoubt-
edly many of these workers think
that Thompson's election is the
cause. But how can local election,
or any election, affect an industry,
the prosperity or depression of which
depends on the general market and
trade conditions not only of the en-
tire continent, but of the world?
There is more work in Chicago
now than last winter and spring, but
this is not due to the present city ad-
ministration, and no one knows how
long it will last. Production and ex-
change are governed by economic
laws and are not affected by elections
