Chicago after their months Of front

to cooperate with the federal bureau

completed Wednesday and arrange
ments were made to establish another

seems to be that too many people
take the way of least resistance IN
doing the things carelessly and VI
ciously that they ought to do care
fully and we'll.
Because this is true, there should
be no such things as dark, dirty cor
ners. Let in the light so that the
dirt can be seen and then it will be
taken away and such places will be
made clean and safe.
The litter habit is a bad habit.
Don't cultivate it.
Air as nature provides 1t is good.
Man alone defiles it. Keep close to
natures supply and through the out
door life and the open windows of
home and workshop get it in its pur-
est form all the time.

great for any city to pay, while the
advantage of a reputation for first

and very great from an industrial
point of view, as well as from any

Help for Labor.
LABOR AND LIVING CONDl-
TIONS-A section of the reconstruc-
ton commission should deal with the
working and living conditions OF men
and women in Chicago. Whatever the
government can properly do to make
the daily life of men and women COM
Portable should be undertaken. Hous-
ing conditions, sanitation, reception
and care of the immigrant, regularity
of employment, sound working condi-
tons, the hlgn cost ol h'ihs OH
lenge the attention of the city and
should be dealt with on broad lines.
MANY of these conditions are beyond
the control of the municipal govern
ment. but in some specific cases 1t is
possible to act directly and, in other
cases, for the city to take the initia-
tive. In view of the revolutionary
conditions now prevailing throughout
the greater part of the world, it is
imperative that Chicago leave no
stone unturned to remove the causes
of social discomfort"

titled to some consideration at the

tend that the action of the court

THE NEGRO POPULATION n
THE UNITED STATES FRoH
1870 TO 1915.

The Bureau of Census of the Unit
ed States has recently issued most
wonderful and comprehensive book,
entitled the NEGRO Population in tie

Hon. Samuel L. Rogers, director d
Department of Commerce and b.
reau of the Census, Washington, D.
c., has recently furnished the edix
of this paper with a volume Of tie
work.
The copy which lies before Us s
worth its weight in gold. 1t consist
of eight hundred and fifty pages. Il
very infinitely gives a detailed s
count of the Colored people, residing
in each and every state, thrOughOui
the union, its territories and Other
possessions and a thousand and one
occupations which the Colored PEG
pie, men, women and children Ts
employed in in this country; the
number of homes and farms owned
by the Colored people and the smOun'
of taxes they pay on more than
billion dollars worth of property u
the United States.
On the whole it is a most remark
able and highly instructive work iron
every point of view, and it would d
well indeed, if the Colored people d
general would familiarize themsei'S
with its contents.
For our part, we wish to mos
heartily thank Mr.. Rogers, dree'~

DARK CORNERS.

Dark corners are dangerous. There
are many kinds of dark corners, but
they are all dangerous.
Dark corners in lavatories, toilets,
kitchens, work rooms and living
rooms, in fact in all places of human
habitation are dangerous corners
Dark corners are dangerous be
cause they are hiding places for dan
gerous dirt. Have you ever noticed
that careless, ignorant and vicious
spitters always seek dark corners
where they may practice their dirty,
dangerous habits without so much
fear of detection as though they did
it in the open?
Dirt in dark corners is, of course,
hidden away and not so easily dis
covered. Filth that has been depos-
tied in dark corners is more difficult
to remove than when it is placed opt
in the open where 1t can be seen and
properly taken care of.
The man who spits into a dark cor
ner is a first cousin to the fellow
who dumps the Objectionable waste
and refuse of his premises on the
nearest vacant lot under cover of
darkness. Both of these offenders
against the laws of decency and
health are seeking to evade detection
and punishment, for as they well
know, it is an offense against the
laws of society, the laws of any well
organized community.
The well lighted work room is cas-
lily kept clean because it affords little
or no opportunity for the practice Of
unsanitary habits by the dirty, the
ignorant or the careless.
Living rooms that are well lighted
are also more easily kept clean be-
cause the sunshine and the daylight
pouring in through the windows re-
veal the presence Of dirt and dust
that should be removed. There should
be no dark corners or recesses in
any rooms used for human occup-
ancy. Light and air are indispens-
able essentials for all indoor occu-
pants. Darkness encourages dirt and
filth; it also encourages dirty, sneak
ing, filthy habits among people who
are both ignorant and vicious and
who, if not ignorant, are lazy and
cowardly. The man who under cover
Of darkness puts Objectionable mat
ter on a vacant lot is both a sneak
and a coward, or he wouldn't be
guilty Of such conduct. This is pretty
plain language, but it is true. The
workman who takes advantage and
uses it, Of dark, lily lighted corners
or recesses, as q cover for his cussed-
ness, it not q good man to have on
the pay rool of any working lestab-
lshment.
It seems to be a dominant charac-
teristic Of many people to dispose Of
their dirt, filth and rubbish of every
Kind in almost every way but the
right way. This is why not only in
Chicago, but in every city, town and
hamlet in the land, the dirty, vacant
lot and the equally dangerous, dirty
dump heap ere always in obtrusive
evidence. The litter habit is nation
wide and it seems to be q mighty
hard habit to eradicate. The trouble

MERRIAM GIVES REcoNsTRUc-
TON PLANS FOR CITY.
Rsonisss 90 Appoint q Commission
If He 10 Elected.

Capt. Charles e. Merriam has an
nounced his reconstruction prog
ram" for Chicago. While Mayor
Thompson was assailing him in one
end of his ward, the Seventh, he was
telling another gathering of his con-
stituents what he would do if elected
mayor.
He said:
''The next four years in the history
Of Chicago should be. a period OF
reorganization and reconstruction
Every effort should be made to meet
this critical situation as effectively a.
possible. The Chicago plan commits
sion has presented program which
have already Endorsed, but, in add
ton to this, If elected mayor of Chi

my policy would be to select strons
men and women, capable Of working
together without regard to faction
party class, or creed, ON exactly the
same principle that united action was
obtained during the war. A consider
able part Of these men should be al
dermen or other city officials, because
Of their practical contact with mu-
nicipal affairs and their direct re

sponsibility for their conduct to the
government. The other should be
private citizens drafted into public
service. Public opinion should COM
pei them to act, regardless Of their
personal inclinations. No private in
terest should be allowed to stand in
the way of the great public interests
of Chicago during the next few years.
On this commission there would be
four sections, as follows:
Plans for Soldiers
"SOLDIERS-This section should
employ all the power of the city gov
eminent, in cooperation with the
state and federal governments, and
with any private organizations, to
guarantee the very best treatment to
the returning soldiers. This applies
not only to their reception on COM
ing home but also to helping them
secure employment appropriate to
their proven ability and any and all
other possible ways of helping them
through the necessarily trying time
of REIMBURSEMENT. Our boys who have
offered to give everything in life
should not be neglected by the COM
munity in whose defense they fought.
Plans for Charter.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL CON
VENTION AND CHARTER-Thii
section should look after the interests
of Chicago in the coming eonstitu-
tional convention. Great interests are
at stake in the approaching revision
of the organic law Of the state, and
the city government should take the
lead, in cooperation, Of course, with
other organisations, in the great and
difficult task Of seeing that Chicago's
just claims are fully considered and
properly recognized. The great ques-
tons of home rule, just taxation, pub
lie utilities should be given the most
earnest consideration and should be
closely watched by the city govern
ment- In the same way, the question
of a new charter for Chicago should
be taken mp. It is universally agreed
that many important changes in our
local government are absolutely nee
essary, and the united action of ouI
citizens should be secured in order
to make these changes promptly and
with the least possible friction.
Aid for Business
"BUSINESS-The city government
ought to aid in every legitimate way
in advancing the trade interests Of
Chicago. Matters like the new post
Office, the town han, the development
of water and rail facilities, the proper
advertisement of Chicago in the great
territory around rs, are all propel
work for the city. The government
naturally would cooperate with thu
organizations such as the Association
of Commerce, the real estate boards
the Greater Chicago Federation, and
other societies Of our citizens It il
now definitely recognized that q good
city government is g business asset
to community, and bad city gov
eminent gives q city a black eye.

Aside from all that can be said

Look at, Your Soul

when you've opened your bag on the
parlor floor.
And poured out your souvenirs,
Your helmet and buttohs and bits OF
shell
That you snatched out OF those pits
OF he'll
And saved for souvenirs.
when you've spread them out and
told your yarn
Not once. but n hundred times;
And shown the scar on your shrapnol
wound,
And handed your nurses picture
round;
And blushed, yes. a thousand
times.
When you've gone to bed in the same
old room,
with The same old goodnight
And you think OF tomorrow days
And laugh at the horrors OF old
otlmc fears
When rats gave you your only
Niss.
When peace and quiet caress you
again
And your soul will have It's say;
! And It stalks forth grim and fear
somey
And stands in the moonlight for you
to see
And you know what It's going to
say
Can you look straight into the pierre
ing eyes
And swear you've kept the faith
That through all wars hell you've
guarded the trust
And you've brought no red souvenir
OF lust
To betray and tarnish that faith
Can YOU fall asleep with n smile on
your lips
And awake with u laugh at to-
morrow,
To find no rust on the gleam OF your
shield
No blot on the flag that made Ger
many yield7
Then laugh, and take Joy in to-
