A splendid health measure is to

these poisons, gases and toxins from

rid the City Hall of "undesirables"
and fill it with such as will work in
harmony with the administration.
Let me quote from a new weekly
organ of the Thompson-Lundin ma
chine, The Republican. This paper,
commenting on the 18th ward situa-
ton, says as follows:
"The Republican ward organiza-
ton has unanimously declared Daniel
A. Roberts, assistant corporation
counsel, their choice for alderman of
the 18th ward and recommended him
to the people of the ward to be the
nominee of the spring primaries.
With Mr.. Roberts it is expected to put
a quietus on the present incumbent,
Mr.. Rodriguez, and thus rid the coun-
Gil of very undesirable member"
A very undesirable member, indeed
to the hooters and grafters of the
City Hall, and we, the voters of the
18th ward, fully realize it. 1t is for
this reason that we are going to re-
elect Aid. VIM. E. Rodriguez.
Citizens Of the 18th ward, appeal
to you. You have had occasion to
witness the good work of Hon. VIM.
E. Rodriguez. You have cheered him
on many occasions. You are all as
sured that he will continue his good
work. Let us now determine to re-
elect him, not only with a big plural
ity. but with big majority vote, and
show the administration that we
mean to rid the City Hall of all bood-
lers and hoodlers now infesting it

SHORT SKIRTS.-Let's get down
on earth in The Forum once in
while. On one of the ''L' stations
Monday, when it was as cold as the
dickens, saw a girl in short skirts
the kind they're wearing now. l
thought of how well my legs were
covered with thick wooden pants, and
wondered if hers weren't cold. But
she looked comfy all right. And then
it occurred to me that the girls with
their low-necked dresses and short
skirts in winter are accHmating their
bodies better than we men are, l
don't bother about the other feature,

CURING MEDIocRITY.-We must
combat mediocrity with its. own
weapons, the principal one of which
is the use of personality. For ex-
ample, not so many months ago the
Republican editors of the country
were in a state of mind bordering on
reverential awe of the rampaging
figure of the Political Barnum-Ted-
dy r. Whenever occasion seemed
particularly to call for criticism of
his behavior these editors would put
forth intended personalities in such
general terms as to easily fit anybody
or nobody in particular. And, mag
inc! these were to pierce the arn1oF
of intense feeling of personal gram
deuT such as that possessed by the
creator of the cute Teddy bear and
the ineffable bull moose!-ad cooks!
odds bodkins; and then some! Why,
since the more extensive use of per-
sonaIity, Teddy is chattering and
twaddling more than ever. Recently
we had the pleasure of hearing Sen
ator Reed compare his actions to
those of dog that is murderously
fierce only when he feels that he's
safely chained. But if the maker of
that simile hadn't actually mentioned
the coloneIs name, at least adject-
lively, the latter could never have
tumbled; neither would his equally
dense followers have been led to crit
ically examine into their falling idols
dishonorable conduct and empty phi
Iosophy. And here's where the prac-
teal psychologist gets his innings
in; the pleasure of watching the lis.
tening and reading mob grow critical.

COMMUNICATION
CRUELTY

Editor Banner: Vr.--,
Not long ago the writer saw a large
sea turtle which had just arrived
from the coast by express. It's eyes
had been gouged out, flies were crawl
ing in the eye sockets, and the crea-
ture was writhing and gasping in
mortal agony, the victim Of mans
refined appetite, The writer is In
formed that sea turtles are always
blinded before shipment, thrown on
their backs in the cars and sent
across the country in the most hor-
rible agony to crafty our epicures
who gather with laughter and toast
and fatten on the agony of Gods
humble creatures.
If this Is civilized nation, such
cruelty should be stopped at once,
and the express companies which
are willing to prolong the agony of
the helpless, harmless creatures, or
receive them in such "a condition,
should be held responsible for their
indifference. Are mems stomachs
more sacred in the eyes of the Gre
ator than the poor creatures which
fall into our hands?
