Guarding the captor.

After the Turkish line was broken
In front of Nablus, a Tommy of poor
physique found himself In sole charge
eta whole company Of Jackos. No
assistance was In sight, so the ban
tam solemnly proceeded to march the
captves toward the nearest COM
pound, q few miles distant. The
Turks stumbled along, and the rough
nature Of the country threw the col
umn into such confusion that Tommy
often found himself surrounded by
prisoners. Once, while negotiating a
difficult descent, he fell headlong
among the b~oulders. his helmet and
rifle flying before him. For a moment
the situation seemed critical; but a
stalwart prisoner promptly restored or
der by lifting the guard carefully to
his feet and replacing the cumbersome
headgear. Then, picking up the rife.
Abdul restored it with a graceful bow,
and the column marched on to cap

Chicago reform organizations are
crooks long since past redemption.
When they are not attacking pub.
lie men they are attacking private

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.

for means to feather their own nests
at the expense OF human misery that
nothing need be hoped for In that
line.

have faint idea OF what hive the

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,

gressiye, Industrious city. II Is not
the rat.hole, the stencil pot, the
crime infested lair of license and sedi,
ton that some people who live here
try to paint II.
II Is not Sodom, nor yet Gomorrah
II is a city with credit in the markets
of the world; city OF churches
city Of spirit and pride; a city OF
honor and gallantry; a city Of blood
and iron, of energy and limitless
courage and sacrifice when it is nee
essary to make war'or pay for max
ing war.
Our town has no red light district
II IL 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 il 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 il they could not
work them off. And the only way
they can work them off Is by harass
ing their fellow man.
Others are paid by persons vel
intentioned, but totally ignorant Of
life as 1t is lived by the real, red
blooded human beings. This class
Is, perhaps the most dangerous, be
cause it is sincere, and in its narrow
way intelligent.
Still others are maintained in elab
