Most OF them operate under the
name of reform"
Save the mark!
Reform!
The originators of most of these
Chicago reform organizations are
crooks long since past redemption.
When they are not attacking pub.
lie men they are attacking private
individuals.
The divorce courts are searched
by them to discover some new ave-
nue. to blackmail people on account
of the misfortunes Of some of them.
These are the people, male and
female, who are giving Chicago a
bad name before the world.
Most of them should be In Joliet.
Many Of them should be In Jail.
In official quarters too many in.
digent lawyers are so busy searching
for means to feather their own nests
at the expense of human misery that
nothing need be hoped for In that
line.
Greed. Graft and Get There are
the notices of our Matchmaking re.
formers.
Read the list of uplifting" Organi-
cations in the directory and you will
have faint idea of what hive the
crooked reformers form in Chicago.
No wonder the Chicago Herald and
Examiner in the course of a ringing
editorial on April 3, 1919, said:
This town doesn't need any ire
deeming." Chicago is a glorious. pro-
gressive. industrious city. II Is not
the rat.h0le, the stencil pot, the
me.infested lair of license and sedi,
ton that some people who live here
try to paint 1t.
It is not SOdOm, nor yet GomOrrah.
It Is a city with credit In the markets
of the world; a city of churches;
city OF spirit and pride; city OF
honor and sallantry; city OF blood
and iron, of energy and limitless
courage and sacrifice when II is nee
essary to make war or pay for max
ing war.
Our town has no red light district
II Is free OF open gambling. Its
streets know not the heel-tap of the
unfortunate woman who lives a life
of expediency-unless, perchance, an
amateur wanders in from outside the
walls.
Badly as we need a coming law and
improved housing conditions, we have
nothing to compare with the cartoon
lists and professional sociologist's ira
ditional idea of the "slum.'
The one thing the matter with this
town is that 1t is infested with paid
knockers. Some of these traducers
are paid by busybodies whose sys
TENS are so full of theories about
how other people should behave that
they would explode II they could not
work them off. And the only way
| they can work them off Is by harass

Others are paid by persons wei
intentioned, but to,ally ignorant o.
life as it is lived by the real, red

is, perhaps the most dangerous, be
cause it is sincere, and in its marrow

STRONGEST LINE. MAY Be
DETERMINING FACTOR IN
OREGON---PULLMAN MIX
winch lime IS the stronger?


Upon the answer to this problem de-
pends the outcome of the University of
Oregon Washington State college game
in Portland, Saturday afternoon.
Who will be the winner depends
wholly upon the matter of which team
presents the better defense and which
is the more apt at taking advantage
of the breaks of the game 1t is prob
able that two more evenly matched
teams never met In the history of foot
ball on the Pacific coast and choosing
a winner is like stealing melons in the
dark-both appear Al when sounded,
but you can't tell which is the ripest.
The backfields of the two aggrega-
tions are nearly on a par, Oregon's
veterans having the edge. This, how
ever, is offset by the stonewall defense
and charging power of the Pullman
line. which is well demonstrated by the
fact that Coach Welch's men have not
been scored upon this season, although
, their only game of importance was the
one with the University of California.
Oregon's line, on the other hand, has
been its apparent weak spot Wash
ington, last Saturday, made more yard
age between the ends than did the nu-
gene lads, but the shifty backs of the
lemon and yellow were the more con-
sistent ground gamers The Pullman
backs, however, are harder charges
and faster at picking holes than tho
Washington plungers and with a hole
. smashing line in front of them will be
a serious menace to the Oregon goal
line
The Webfoot line is weak. only be-
tween the tackles, and the probable abb
sence of Spike" Leslie from Satur-
days game will not improve it. In
dividually, the men are to be rated
high, but Coach Huntington has not
developed that strength of unity in his
advance guard that he has In the back
field. Aside from Williams and Bart
let, tackles, the Eugene boys will be
the lesser experienced from one end of
the line to the other and unless this
week's work has done wonders, the
Pullmanites will gain more than their
share of the yardage without resorting
to open football, which must be Ore
gon' style of play against the norrn-
orner's stonewall line.
A wet field will give Pullman big
shade on the dope.

tend meeting with any committee of
which Rupert was a member.
BY this stand, Johnson blocks the
efforts to oust his ally, Hermann and
he brings upban issue which may force
the National league powers to take up
arms against him with the trio of enc
mics in his own league.
If Johnson persists in his refusal to
meet with committee not of his own
selection, the National league powers
may decide to deal with the American
league board of directors and act over
Bans head.
Another airing of the American
league squabble in court seems prob
able if the National commission does
not turn over the Yankees third place
winnings. Colonel Rupert, president
of the New York club, has announced
that he will institute mandamus pro-
ceedings to force the payment If the
commission does not comply with the
request of the directors

The present system of demobiliza-

personnel, temporarily retained in the
