Our large cities are full of thieves
thugs, crooks and the non-descript
castoff of humanity. They prey upon
the people at will and there appears
to be no check. This, perhaps, is be-
cause the officials of both of the two
political parties are afraid to under
take thorough cleaning up of their
cities for fear of losing the votes of
the underworld at the next election.
This is an ugly truth-but truth, new
ertheless.

SHAMING
THE DEVIL

It is said that the devil always
claims his own.
But there are times, we fear, when
even the devil would hesitate to claim
many certain undesirable specimens of
humanity masquerading in the guise
of fair womanhood.
Out at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, are
a large number of manned and broken
heroes who fought in the world war
and came home nothing but battered
wrecks. Some have no legs, or no
arms, and others have neither legs or
arms.
About twenty-five of these heroic
but helpless men were invited recent
ly to attend a musicale in Chicago
which was largely attended by the
women of high society. Some of these
women protested against the presence
of the crippled soldiers who had Civ
en- their all for their country, on the
ground that the iodoform with which
their wounds were dressed was dis
tasteful to their aesthetic sense of
smell. They even went so far as to
write letters of protest to the lady
who gave the musicale and invited the
soldiers.
Did the devil smile?
He did mott
He hung his head in shame-for even
he, in ali of his diabolical baseness and
debauchery, had not sunk so low as
that.

The report added that considerable

existing mortgage system is inadequate
for the purpose.

This report stated real estate condi-

being based not upon present prices and
