the abolition of profits, thereby Civ

some honest men they are few and

POOLROOMS.- Judge Fisher says
he can't see any harm in poolrooms.
He claims that, if properly conduct
ed, poolrooms furnish good recrea-
ton for boys. Recreation itself is
very good, but there are other things
which we must consider.
1t is scarcely necessary to say that
the boys of today are the men of to-
morrow. The worlds future de-
ponds largely upon boys and 1 be-
ieve that poolrooms are not the
proper places for boys to hang out
l don't mean that the boys should go
to church all the time, but / believe
there are many other places which
are better for recreation than pool
rooms.
Having had little experience
around the places myself l can say
that they are of little less danger to
the public than the saloons. They
teach nothing good, expose boys to

habitued poolrooms.
What Chicago needs is good play
grounds, better police force and
better places for growing boys.
When these are not to be had, boys
generally go to poolrooms in search

EVOLUTION.-Is not evolution a
power itself or is there not some
greater power causing this much
spoken of evolution?
Man does not control the universe,
neither does he bring about that
which we call evolution" without
the power is in him, and it would not
be in him if some greater power did
not place it there What this power
is no man ever lived who could sat
isfactorily explain. We know we are
here and know partly how we came,
but not altogether; but that has
nothing to do with what we have a
right to do for the good of human
ity and the building of the world.

supposed good work for the money.
