LITTLE LIFE TALES FROM THREE
OF OUR COURTROoMS
True love travels a rocky road as
witness Michael Bushick, 1S, and
Mamie Blank, Is, his sweetheart.
They had been in love in a little town
in Iowa for years and years, which
amounted to six months, when
Mamie's parents decided Michael
wasn't a proper match for her and
they were forbidden to meet again.
Michael decided on an elopement
and they came to Chicago to find the
law as rough on juvenile weddings as
Mamie's parents had been, but after
a counsel together they decided to go
to housekeeping until such time as
they were old enough to do the thing
up right.
Result: Morals court. Case con-
tinued to see if the parents back
home will now agree to a marriage.

"ANTI = PREPAREDNESS" BODY
PLANS BIG MEET HERE
In an effort to offset 'jingoism,"
which they believe will result in de-
struction of principles of liberty, the
"Anti-Preparedness Committee" of
Washington has accepted the chaI-
lenge of Pres. Wilson. In a speech
delivered in st. Louis the president
told those who differed from him as
to the immediate need for unusual
naval and military preparations to
hire Large halls and state their case
to the public.
A meeting will be held Monday,
April 10, 8 p. M, in the Auditorium
and speakers of national reputation
will deliver speeches on preparedness,
and music and motion pictures will
be thrown in for good measure.
''Mr. Jingo," IA feet long and 10
feet high, will be paraded through the
streets today as an advertisement of
the peoples meeting. Mr.. lingo is
the skeleton Of a dinOsaur.
The anti-preparedness committee
declares that the various miIitarist
organizations masquerading as de
fense" societies and falsely claiming
that they alone can speak for Amer
ican patriotism are deliberately Gre
ating a widespread condition of hys-
terra as to the safety of this cOun-
try and danger of foreign invasion,
and this reckless propaganda of mill
tarism and jingo-imperiaism, if al
lowed to go unchecked, will inevi-

The contract for the paving work
was let at an early date in the spring
and should have been completed by
September LIST, but it was nearly
that date before the work was fairly
under way, and at the present time
there does not seem to be the hus-

complete it this fall.

fall, otherwise we will have torn

THERE seems to be growing inn

that the paving work which was
started some time ago will not be
completed this year but will be
allowed to drag over until spring.
We have tried hard to believe
differently and have repeatedly
stated from time to time that all
efforts would be put forth to have
the paving completed this fall, but
we are now Inclined to believe that
it will be impossible to finish the
work unless greater efforts are put
forth that are being manifest at the
present time.

three weeks in which cement work
can be done satisfactorily and if the

So the City Council is going to
license all vehicles used for hire in
the city. From reading the proposed
ordinance it would look as if the
livery barns would be put out of
commission entirely if they have to
pay the proposed scale for each car
riage used, in addition to the amounts
already paid for taxes, expen ses, etc
1t is all right to license autos and
vehicles used for hire but some
judgement should be used as to the
amount.
