JUDGE GROVE MAKING
GOOD HIS PROMISES
BY A. N. Fields

The vigorous attitude OF States At
torney Grove in cleaning up the vice
and criminal elements in Cook Coun-
~ and in Chicago have given the
lie 10 his political traducers as well
as inspiration 10 the friends of good
government. II IS not expected that
he will be able to eradicate all OF the
evils in asfeW weeks which had years
OF growth under his predecessor.
Bomb throwing, gambling and vice
flourish IN the county districts for
eight years without fear OF molesta-
ton but his short term clearly in
dicates that those who delegated unto
themselves the right to speak for him
and we have taken the position that
the continuation of bomb throwing
and vice will be safe commodities in
the future are reckoning without their
hosts.
1t is quite probable that many OF the
cohorts OF vice and corruption have
been lullcd into reposc OF satisfac-
ton with the thought that they will
be permitted to continue their ne
farIous practices with case and COM
fort but from the conspicuous cx-
amplcs OF law endorsements now be-
ing put into operation by the county
prosecutor have proven their assur-
ance of safety 10 have been but feet
ing shadow made by passing cloud
The unimpeachable character of
former Judge Grove sustained by
several years of honorable service
"A, Chief Justice of the criminal court
is OF itself positive pool that citizens
OF every creed aud racial identity need
have no apprehension OF his failure to
carry out his pre-campaign pledges.
II can be expected that he can
eonsummate instantly every pledge
made by him during his campaign, the
fact that many evils complained OF
have years OF growth, precludes the
possibilities OF an immediate effectual
remedy To this end however the
cooperation and moral support is So
licited from every good citizen.

The meeting was thrown almost
into pandemonium when VIM {. Lin
ton, one OF the editors OF the Chicago
Whip was called upon by the pastor,
Rev. G. w. Babcr, lie spoke at
length on the moral and political sta
tus of the Negro in Chicago. He
emphasized the necessity OF a new,
cleaner, and more intelligent leader

scheduled to sing at this meeting, but
for reasons not yet published, it failed
to appear. Rev, Dr. L. X Williams
and Warren B. Douglas were billed to

Of THE CENTURY

The new congress comes into life
facing one of the greatest opportuni-
ties of modern times.
It's action will be watched with in
terest by millions of people,
One of the worst evils with which
this country is afflicted is the constant
and fragrant abuse of board of trade
privileges by certain piratical specu-
lators who are enriching themselves
at the expense of the producing and
consuming public.
Boards Of trade may be a modern
necessity, but multiplying the law of
supply and demand is not necessary
and should be prohibited by the iron
hand of the government.
A combination of plutocratie spec
ulators can hammer down or boost to
the skies the price of wheat, corn or
any other commodity at will They
clean up millions on their deals, but
these profits are not shared in by eth
er the producer or the consumer.
It is purely Juggling of the mar
kets by individuals who have the pow
er to do so, and solely for their own
personal gain.
If we have no law elastic enough
Ito strangle these leeches one should
be enacted and rigidly enforced.
If the law of supply and demand is
allowed to determine the value OF
stocks and commodities there can be
no valid objection to the price they
bring, and they will always command
what they are worth.
Any price beyond this is robbery Of
the many for the benefit of a few. Ano
robbery is robbery, MO matter in what
| yuise we find it.
No congress as yet has had the
| courage to meet this supreme issue.
Will the new one go into history az
greater than its predecessors, Or will
it content itself with sidestepping the
golden opportunity of the century?
Supply and demandi
What wonderful treat it would b.
| to see it again firmly seated in the sad
die!

Go TO WORK

Many people are Of the opinion that
now that the new administration is
in office and its views are fairly we'll
known, there should be no further
delay in the revival of business thru
out the country.
Every change of administration
brings its period of doubt and uncer-
tainty. The moneyed interests do not
know just how far it is safe to go,
hence they set the brakes and marke
time by temporary curtailment of
expenditures. This produces a natural
slump in business that is designated
by some hard time.
Mr.. Harding has indicated that he
desires a conservative but progress
sive administration, free from entang-
ling foreign alliances, and with the
protection that should be afforded legi-
innate business interests in every sec
ton of the country.
It is time for big business to get
down to the steady grind again, and
for little business to hit the same
pace.
Everybody GO to work at some
thing!

Why SUCH
AN EFFORT?

Sometimes people look upon attend
ance at church as a duty which must
be performed, ana yet one which re-
quires more or less of an effort.
When we go to show we pay the
price to see performers reproduce
scenes of everyday life that are old
to mankind 1t affords us the change
our natures require and we are salts
fed.
At every church service the minister
tells us something we did not know be-
fore. He extracts his information
from a source that can not be question
ed, from book that never grows old.
from the fountainhead of truth and
knowledge.
The pages of the Bible contain more
thrilling stories and more astounding
wonders than all other prints of civil
cation combined-and every word is
truth.
All of this is yours for the going,
as free as the air that you breathe
There is no ticket taker at the door
and no admission is charged. You are
welcome without price Can you ask
more?

RETURN OF THE
SPRINGBIRDS

''The sparrow hath found an house,
and the swallow nest for herself, :.
+. -. even thine affairs, o Lord of
hosts. Psalms.
With the coming of spring will come
the return of our birds.
To the true lover of nature this is
always season of joy, for one reason
because it means the return of his
friends
The bird is friend to man, seeking
to bring him cheer and gladness of
heart and likewise saving him from
the destruction of the army of insect
life. To the loud, CHEEKY carol of the
robin redbreast he is awakened in the
morning, and to the short, sweet. war
bic of the bluebird he is sung to sleep
at night. Gods little messengers of
love and harbingers of goodwill are
they.
But, to him who cannot love, the
harder business argument of economics
may appeal While he may be annoy
ed by the tune of the warbler friends,
he may, possibly, see their value as
destroyer of insects. Experts tell us
that the saving to our agricultural life
annually because of the birds runs into
millions. In fact, it is said that with
out birds in very few years all vege-
tation would be eaten up by insects.
Therefore, from this view point alone.
the birds have proved their value to
man.
In the face of these facts, there
fore, it seems strange that more en-
phasis is not laid upon the preserva-
ton of bird-life. We seek to conserve
in all other directions, and yet hardly
realize that failure to save our birds
will eventually mean our destruction.
1t is strange that we tolerate the
shooting of birds both by foreigners,
who unnecessarily kill them Tor food,
and the careless school boy who, en-
couraged by the example and the de-
sire to kill fostered by his elders,
chooses the happy. helpless bird as
target. Until We protect our birds
as we would our friends, let us not
boast of our civilization. If the birds
are our friends, let US treat them as
such,-protectng, feeding, sheltering
and apreciating them.
Even the altar of God, is the friend
of the bird. Then. why not man

HIGHWAY
DEVELOPMENT

Madison, Wis., Chief Engineer
Hirst of the Highway Commission in
a talk given recently before the joint
session of the senate and assembly
gave some statistics concerning high
way traffic in Wisconsin which were "a
Their startling to those who had never
made investigation of the subject. ain
1917" said Mr.. Hirst. (which marked
the beginning of state interest in high
way construction, there were 800 mo-
cor vehicles registered. Travel on our
highways was largely by horse-drawn
vehicles, and probably fair estimate
of this travel would be that it totalled
100000 miles per annum. In 1921
there will be we'll over 100000 motor
vehicles traversing our rural high
ways, and the total mileage Of rural
highway travel will undoubtedly ex-
end 1,000,000,00O miles.
The construction and maintenance
of highways is, therefore, very logic
ally looming large in the public eye,
because upon the proper construction
and maintenance of our highway SIS
5em depends the economic use of those
100000 motor vehicles and of about
100000 horse-drawn vehicles, and the
economic use of these vehicles bears a
relation to every problem which Wis
consin has, including not only the main
problem of the transportation of per-
sons and things, but the problem of
proper school facilities and the prob
lem of proper marketing.
This does not mention the great item
of tourist traffic and the revenues de-
rived from it, which item has become
an important factor in the basic econ
omics of the State. Outside Of educa-
ton there can be no other one factor
in the states program or in the state
progress which touches so many lives
and interests, as does our system of
public highways. Therefore, it be-
hooves us to conider all matter in con-
nection with this system with the
gravest care"
