DESERVE BETTER PAY

The overworked letter carriers and
postofllce clerks will have to sigh
In vain for more money.
No more deserving class of men can
be found in the country.
More than that, because of insuGi.
cient funds the postal service is far
from being efficient.
More men and better paid men are
needed.
II necessary the rate Of letter pos.
tage should be raised.
No one complained when the letter
postage was raised from 2 cents to
3 cents for letters outside the city.
This temporary raise Melted Uncle
Sam $149,O0O,OO0 in one year.
No one was pleased when the rate
was reduced to 2 cents.
Now the overworked letter carriers
are to have their work increased be.

patch, favorable report on the annual

amendment providing for cent drop

ABOLISH THIS COURT

The law establishing a Juvenile
Court in Chicago is responsible for
nine.tenths of the crime.
Most of the murders and all of the
holdups are committed by youths in
their teens.
Those ruff1ans are all wards of the
Juvenile Court.
And Of the Feeble Minded reform.
ers' who weie responsible for its
creation.
The police force is powerless to
handle young criminals.
The Juvenile Court was established
for their protection and they know II.
The bankers and business men who
furnished money and wrote letters
favoring Juvenile Court here for
the protection of young criminals
must feel proud Of their work. 9
All of the bank stickups have been
the work Of Juvenile offenders.
The reform lizards and sob sisters
who support the Juvenile Court with
tuti IHuutIIt always Ret
busy when the police arrest boys who
are unusually bad.
Unusually bad boys must be pro.
tected from police brutality.
The police recently rounded up a
gang of young ruffians who confessed
to committing twelve murders and 146
holdups and robberies.
Every day the police station where
this awful gang of thieves and bloody
murderers are confined is visited by
reformers who poster the police to
death with warnings not to abuse
these boys" or treat them harshly.
The people are sick and tired of
this rubicund rot and want the Ju.
venile Court abolished.
And the sooner the better.
