FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT. - The
prosperity Day. parade billed for
April &c affords opportunity for
thought for those who have time to
think. 1t is advertised as one of the
greatest demonstrations in Chicago's
history. AS prosperity is claimed to
be absent, and about to be restored
monstration is to be made, people
should not accept the proposition I'M
questioned.
AS the highest prosperity advocat-
ed by the man and the party or in
terests in whose honor we are to
parade is that the workers, whose
labor produces all wealth, shall have
the privilege of carrying dinner pail
with cold victuals in it, they should
carry a question in their minds as to
the reason why they should enthuse
over full dinner paid and why they
should not be able to eat a warm din
ner in decent place as well as people
who live upon unearned wealth.
The demonstration will show the
unequal freedom which gives to the
rich and respectable the privilege of
Obstructing our streets with a parade
containing thousands of expensive
motor cars and caters to the love of
display of the wealthy while it denies
the use of the same streets for a
march of the starving poor and dis
inherited.
Believers in equal freedom will
grieVe that so many people imagine
that civilization based upon in
equality and special privilege can
survive.
1t is unthinkable that the victims of
inequality can continue to be pacified
and quieted by grand parades, martial
music, policemen's clubs and the
promise of full dinner pals.
A great many of Chicago's school
children are said to suffer from hun
ger and lack of comfortable clothing.

ing that he might be able to give
little comfort to the poor pupils
whose feet were on the ground. An
other teacher with the aid of big
hearted police officer and benevolent
citizens is feeding her starving pupils
whose parents are too poor to give
them breakfast.
In view of this condition the big
interests behind the school govern
ment have decreed that school prin-
cipals shall join the parade and act as
marshals for the teachers of schools.
1t is to be hoped that onne of theh ILL
shod and hungry pupils will be forced
to march in the procession, but that
they may think, and keep thinking
until they know, why so many suffer
from hunger and cold in the midst of
Astounding wealth.
The thought will come and cannot
be suppressed that this reVersion to

MANY of those 1O6,0OO voters who dis

William II. Wallace, a member of the

Now he was quick to perceive the' 'situ-
alton and a series of ingenious questions
soon established the fact that Edmonston
was strange man who had several times
made him presents of candy and who
had forced him into the cab and had tried
to stifie his cries. SO well did the boy
stick to his story that II was with diff

to give evidence against the abductor.
He glibly related how he had noticed
the small boy 1t was unusual to see
child of his age alone in the business
section and he had watched with admira-
ton the skill with which the youngster
threaded his way through the stream of
pedestrians. Then he had seen the man
accost the boy, the boy had turned to run
and the man pursued. He had hailed the
cab and the driver had responded with
the intention OF taking his fare to the
police station But the Boys cries had
prevented the execution of this bit of
strategy and the policeAhad come and ne
demanded S25 for damage done to his cab
in the matter of scratched varnsh.
Samhel contributed his account of the
affair, disclaiming ALI knowledge of Ed
monston and demanding that he be taken
to his mother. who lived in a nearby
suburb. In was only after Edmonston's
repeated objections that the captain. who
had come out Of his office to take charge
OF the case. revoked the order for a
patrolman to take the boy home and con-
sented to telephone Natalie Torrey. Most
of Samuel's runaways had been toward
the outlying precincts and the police of
the business district were not as familiar
with the boys record as the men in the
more remote stations
Nettie promptly described Samuel and
promised to come down 10 get him, but
the boy so persistently clung to the dec
laration that he had never seen Edmon-
ston before that the latter was sent to
a cell TO wait the coming of the girl.
This happened, however, after his pedi-
gree had been entered upon the police
blotter and the reporters had made FASH
light photographs with which ID enliyen

OF the kidnapping band
It was a crowded half hour for Ed
monston The reporters pressed about the
bars of his cell seeking TO coax him To
make a confession In time for the last
editions Of the evening papers.
Then Nettie came into the cellroom
leading the reluctant Samuel by the hand.
