Has it ever done anything to abate
food profteering?
Never
Has it ever made move to ask
for help for the people of Chicago in
the way of securing better and more
freight car service?
1t has not
Yet it IS better paid than any city
council r1at ever sat in Chicago

According to all accounts wrong
numbers" high prices and popular
woes unnumbered do not disturb their
slumbers.
The man who advertises and sells
high grade diamonds knows the fal-
lacy of the cry of the cheap news

best buy. He knows that but one in
newspaper could buy the big brilliant

to find the advertisement in a wilder
ness of copy appealing to numbers
only
Nearly every reader of the Chicago
Eagle is a diamond owner having
money to spend. Many of them own
several diamonds. They buy good
diamonds and buy in good times and
bad. Go where the buyers are to sell
any sort of merchandise
They don't buy diamonds in the
pOorhouse.

Mayor ThOmpSon'S great fight for a
scent street car fare has the people
behind it. The millions who use the
surface lines feel that they are paying
far too much for the service they get
especially when the fact that the sur
face lines are making a profit of
nearly million dollars month out
of the Scent fare dawns upon them.

Every business man in Chicago
should read the report of the Con-
gressional Commission that investi-
gated the postoffice.
