pers represent was told by Congress-
man Frank Buchanan at the meeting
of the Public Ownership League of
Cook county Sunday.
The methods of newspapers whose
souls have been sold with their ad-
vertising columns was> laid bare by
the congressman. He told how the
newspapers warped the truth in
Washington news when an issue of
vital interest to the public is at stake.
He referred in special way to the
campaign for military preparedness
and the railroad eight-hour-day bill
to point out specific instances of
practically all the papers in the coun-
try distorting facts to create false
public impression. He asked why
the newspapers did this and an
sWered himself:
"The business Office of the. news
papers demand distortion of facts in
order better to serve the will of the
advertisers.
Newspapers are to day printing
big headlined stories of war and the
need of preparedness to blind you
from, seeing contemplated steals"
said Buchanon." Continually they
cry for a heavily-armed prepared
ness, for a big navy-to the benefit
of the steel interests. Take the prof
its out of war by public ownership of
munitions factories and the cry for
a great preparedness will cease.
Newspapers have given the mis-
taken impression to many that the |
railroad brOtherhoods held up con-
gress in their demand for an eight !
hour day. The truth is rather that |
congress held up the brotherhoods |
by interfering in a well-planned |
course of action.

Editors are simply advertising

WILL PUT IN
EXTENSION

The special work for the trolley
track extension off Cohansey street
into Washington street extension has
arrived, and the work will begin at
once the weather permitting. The
track will be intersected at Cohansey
and Washington streets and an extern
sion will be run west on the south side
of the Washington street extension on
by the present Tabernacle building,
with a curve set in to carry the cars
upon the property of the Traction
Company. All of this work will be
done before the evangelistic services
are begun, giving opportunity for the
Traction Company to make special ex-
cursions from out of town and running
the cars directly to the Tabernacle,
and the storing of the cars upon the
company's private property.

The PULPIT IS UP
Workmen Are Doing Some of t he
Interior Wofk-Lack of
Lumber.

The work upon the exterior of the
Tabernacle building is held up to
some extent by reason of lack of
lumber. The most of the great frame
work is enclosed, and when the north
end is covered the structure will be
ready for the rubberoid paper which
is to cover the entire structure and
which will fire proof the exterior.
Yesterday the carpenters were do
ing a good deal of the interior work
On the south end of the great barn
like building is a raised platform
which will be used as the pulpit or
rOstrum and the choir. The platform
extends from the south end of the
building 81 feet out into the auditor
ium, and the pulpit platform is at the
extreme front facing the audience
This pulpit platform is raised six feet
from the ground, giving sufficient ele-
vation so that the entire audience will
have a view of the speakers. The
raised platform fans out on either
SIDE and extends back of the pulpit.
There are IL risers upon this plat
form which throws the rear up about
12 feet. Upon this raised platform
will be seated the choir, it being es-
timated that the platform will have a
capacity Of 800 persons. The organ
will be set directly in rear of the
pulpit.
There will be two large rooms
erected on the east side of the build
ing opposite the choir loft One of
these viii be for retiring room and
the other for committee room The
space on the west Of the pulpit and
choir platform will be left open for
The seating of the pulpit.
About two-thirds of the big roof
slopes east and west from "a feet
high peak. Then hip roof slopes
from the ground. About one-third
Of the seating capacity will be COW
cred by this sloping hip roof. This
Plan follows the recommendation Of
the evangelist, Rev. George Wood
Anderson, who urges that this sort
of construction will bring the voice
down and make it much better to
hear at the extreme length of the
building.
One can get some idea of the i'm
merse structure when it is understood
that there will be $4,000 feet of lum-
Der used in the building, and to cover
the exterior with rubberoid will re-
quire thousands and thousands of feet
of preferred paper.
The ground in the building will not
have flooring, but will be covered
with shaviDgs. Two carloads of these
shavings have been purchased and are
. here IT IS estimated that one carload
will be Used to cover the ground and
the c,her will be used from time to
time to freshen up the covering
