We must have made record time in

THE PUBLIC FORUM
CAN'T UNDERSTAND COCHRAN.

CAN'T UNDERSTAND COCHRAN.
i wish to take exception to the re-
marks you have made in which you
have been constantly praising big
Biz Thompson. What puzzles me is
how one man possessing such pro-
gressive ideas, and one who no doubt
has good and welfare of the work
ing class at heart, can be constantly
speaking in laudatory terms of man
who has absolutely no sympathies
for the working class, and the only
use he has for it is its votes. He is
totally Indifferent to the present in
dustrial struggle now prevailing in
Chicago.
1t seems to me the only reason you
give why he deserves so much praise
is because he settled the street car
strike. Well, as a matter Of fact, he
was forced to settle it, and did not
settle it because of his so-called af-
lection for the deer peepuI'! AS a
matter of fact, as a chief executive
of this city he had to settle the con-
troversy that affected that 55 per
cent that the city receives from the
proceeds of Chicago Surface lines.
Do you think that the Chicago As
sociation Of Commerce would be in
viting him to banquets every once in
a while if it did not have confidence
in him? If he had even spark of
sympathy for the toiler would he ap-
point Sammy Ettelson, the patron
saint of the State street stores, as
corporation counsel? Or would he
appoint or try to appoint enemies of
the Teachers Federation as mem
bers of the school board? Would not
he try to settle the present strike of
the garment workers?
In spite of the fact that he has
proven himself an enemy of labor
you still keep on patting him on the
back and saying: Good boy, Bill, but
please keep out of bad company"

FUTURITY MURDER

FUTURITY MURDER.-The prop
uganda for sterilization "a movement
largely Fastened by certain of the idle
rich, and by a class of self-styled
scientists of the long-haired type)
has come into such prominence as to
merit the consideration and censure
of the student of economic condi-
tons.
The object of this benevolent CD
movement is to do away with the I'M
fit (the poor by a process of elimina-
ton, and we read of certain society
organized to carry on this race bet
terment" scheme, and the distressing
fact is brought to our attention that
this society has outlined an ambitious
program which would involve the
complete ruin of thousands of human
beings, and which contemplates the
murder Gin INTENT of thousands yet
unborn.
1t is a well-recognized fact among
the better-informed that much of the
infant mortality, misery, crime and
degeneracy is caused by an unto
ward environment, incident to eco
nomic conditions, which precludes
the possibility of proper housing and
sanitary conditions, and the lack of
good food n sufficient quantities. The
real criminal seems to be, not the I'M
fortunate, but the man higher up
the employer who refuses to pay an
adequate wage. These conditions
can be remedied by compelling the
employer, through legislation if ne
cessary, to pay living wage and to
cease to consider labor a commodity
to be purchased at the least cost.
The crime of sterilization is only
equaled by that of the corporation
which forbids its employees from mar
rying on the grounds that their earn

exceptionally popular with the women
at Diamond lake, Eagle lake and

Bend when the discovery Of a physi-
clan becomes known. 1t seems that
some insects have been found to be
very susceptible to some cOlors. EX-
periments have proved that the most
particular mosquitoes care nothing for

Champagne colored shoes and
stockings have already attained quite
a degree of popularity, and they seem
to have an additional value in ward
ing off the summer insect, mosquitoes.
This discovery was made quite by
accident at house party. The woman
in question was invited with half a
dozen others 20 country home where
mosquitoes are prevalent one eve
ming the insects made such an attack
on the silken-clad ankles of the other
girls that they were all driven from
the porch.
Nobody could understand why the
mosquitoes had not bitten this one
girl, until someone discovered that
she wore stockings of a pronounced
yellow shade. while the others were
wearing hosiery of black or white.
one of the members of the party was
a physician, who, by making expert
ments, found that mosquitoes Will
have nothing to do with anything that
is yellow.

SOUTH BENDER BUYS
THEATER AT GOSHEN
G. j. AIlardt Purchases Jefferson
Show House at Cost of
$4,000.

Charles J. Allardt, manager of the
Orpheum theater of this city, closed
a deal Monday with the Elkhart Trust
Co, in which he obtained the Jefferson
theater of Goshen at a cost of $780,
900. Tho original Jefferson house was
built in 1895. 1t was completely de-
strOyed by fire in 1906 and was rebuilt
in 1907 at a cost of $4,000. Harry G..
Sommers of New York held the lease
from the time the building was built
until 1913 when he transferred it to
MyrOn c. Dow of Goshen, although he
continued to supply the standard at
fractions.
The Allardt circuit will take possess
sion of the theater Nov. l. as a mo-
ton picture house with occasional bills
Of the Keith vaudeville. Mr.. Allardt
has made a success Of the Orpheum
theater in this city and it is expected
that the Jefferson theater will present
bills of the same style and grade that
have been shown here.
The theater has formerly been given
over TO motion pictures although high
class dramatic and musical attractions
have been played there during the
past winter
1t is not known who will have
charge of the theater but il is expect
ed some member of the Allardt cir
cult will manage il.
The building is in good condition
and will need no repair for the coming
season. The seating capacity is larger
than the Orpheum theater OF this city
and the walls are beautifully decorat-
ed in artistic scenes. Frank j. Muir
ply will leave the city today for Win
nipeg. Canada, where he will have
charge of the theater under the AL
llrdt management there.
