The Chicago Police.

Mayor Thompson of Chicago, now
that the election is over, is devoting
himself to the job of police reorgani-
zation. which recent events have
shown to be seriously needed. He has
demanded the resignation of the chief
of police and has appointed as sue
cessor his own secretary, formerly a
newspaper reporter. The Chicago po-
lice gained nationwide notoriety a
short time ago through disclosure of
certain dealings between them and the
liquor runners. At that time the po-
litical campaign was at its height and
the mayor had no time-perhaps he
had no disposition-to attend to this
matter Of housecleaning. Now he has
got around to it and the people Of Chi
cago who want a decent city-and they
are, Of course, in the majority-are
waiting hopefully for results. The
question in their minds is whether the
mayors secretary can and will put
the city police force on a dependable
basis Of law enforcement and hon.
esty. His close relationship with the
mayor indicates that in point Of fact
the mayor will be his own chief Of
police. There is not that degree Of
public confidence in Mayor Thompson,
despite the fact that he controls"
Chicago politically, that the city will
look for a thorough cleanup. Too
many evidences appear that the graft
and corruption in the force are too
deep-seated to be eradicated by the
very city executive under whose re-
gime they have developed. Unless the
mayor has experienced change of
heart the new police regime is not
likely to be much different from the
old, and all friends of Chicago will
bewail the outlook.

Autumn Leaves.

Autumn Leaves.
OF autumn leaves we used to sing
A sentimental story.
Observing through their coloring
A rich and somber glory.
But when upon a rainy night
We drive with fear pathetic,
The thoughts they bring are impolite
And not at all poetic.
For every little autumn leaf
Assumes an air forbidding
Which plainly indicates the grief
That may arise from skidding.
The autumn leaves are unrefined,
And bid US pause and shiver.
They first disturb our peace Of mind
And then upset the fiivver.

No man knows more about Liberty

to them in the following language IN

"a $50 bond in the hands of a

of interest on Liberty Bonds, which
would have meant mcre taxes for
the taxpayer and more spending
money for the bondholder, would
have had any other effect than to
increase the initiation which has been
rampant since the Victory Loan.
Some critics say that the Treasury
should have foreseen the after-the-
war reaction and in order to protect
the bondholders from the consequent
ces of their own acts, issued the
bonds and notes at rates of interest
which would insure market price

To the Sporting Editor of the World:
The Lawyers of the City are great
ly pleased that the Insurance men of
this city have cornered enough cour-
age to accept our challenge to a
game of baseball. The time and place
designated by the acceptors of this
challenge is, entirely : satisfactory,
namely, American Day at the City
Ball Park, the proceeds of the game
to be devoted to the Elks Band.
Really, it will be a great relief to
the Lawyers of this city to have
these loquacious vendors of Protec-
tion, so-called, lay-off us for week
or two. If we take them as seriously
as they would have us we might feel
constrained to seek out some of them
for an additional policy for tie pro-
lection of the widows and orphans
they plan on. making. However, we
approach the impending conflict with
no apprehension. We plan on dis
closing to you worthy gentlemen Of
"the noblest profession of them alp
that it requires something more than
talk to play a game Of ball. 49,.

II hast nights Issue Of your paper

presumptious thing I have seen in

am referring to the challenge issued
by the lawyers Of this city. Who on
earth told those poor simps that they
could play ball. They think they will
win their games by talking the 9th
er fellows to death; let them beware,
that is just exactly how we make our
living. While we have no faith in
their ability to play ball, and just
merely to show them that they know
nothing of the game at all, we, the
Life Insurance men of the city, the
noblest profession of them all, do,
hereby and heron, acctpt said chal-
lenge in exactly the same spirit as it
was issued, namely war to the death,

place on American Day, May 1.

twenty feet in his automobile. En-

They went off on the plains some
distance from Hollywood, and built
a copy of a section of the Lincoln
Highway. Through this, almost at
the same height as the roadway, they
made ditch twenty feet wide and had
built on one side an incline three
it filled with water. Then: there was
feet high with a twelve-foot runway.
Russell got into his roadster, went
back about one eighth Of a mile and
let it go. He was moving at the rate
of seventy-fve miles an hour when
his wheels struck, the incline. He hit
it squarely; had he not done. SO the
wheels of one side ~. the other would
have struck the ground beyond the
ditch first and he might have been
overturned. His car flew into the
air going some six feet higher than
the level Of the road. It leaped the
distance over the water in fraction

it.
