dit of Brooklyn is described also as good

women law breakers who are not "fair
to see somehow fail to strike the chord
of popular imagination and get what's
coming to them" in drastic and prosaic
style.
Justice should never hang upon a
matter of looks, but sometimes it does.
And in way, that is fair enough.
Women should be good looking and if
they are not, it is their misfortune. that
is all. Which accounts for the success
of good looking women bandits. 1t
points also to the leniency with which

piled, absently. "Line of duty,

"But why did the CURL ask it, too?"
He shrugged.
"Search me! Don't let's talk about
it! When l think what sallie's been

"Now, Mike!" Sallie exclaimed

For many years the question of Chi
cago's sewage has been question for
argument and dispute. 1t is probable
that no other city in the world has ever
had more trouble with that municipal
problem. Just now it is assuming ma
tional importance and it may become an
affair before it is settled.

one of the largest bodies of fresh water

BANDITS AND BEAUTY

The bob-haircd girl bandit of Brook
Ign continues to flaunt her activities in
the face of the entire police force of
then some lesser imitator is "bagged"
and, put Through the paces,"' but the
real star bandit about whom there is
growing up quite legend, has not yet
been caught. She will be ultimately,
but in the meantime she has cut wide
and spectacular swath.
Claims have been made that she is
and could be product of Manhattan
Island only, but every community at
some time or other has had stories of
such fearless, lawless women who set
the widest daring of mere men to
naught. The early days of Texas are
shot through with the accounts of such
women, but the famous Belle Star OF the
eighties, who terrorized the East Texas
country until the United States Cavalry
had to be called out to finish her and
her band, is the most spectacular OF all.
She could ride like an Indian. Her
aim was deadly. She could throw a
Bowie knife that never missed its mark.
She wore bobbed hair trousers, wide
Topped hat and at the age of eighteen
was bandit queen with fifty or more
desperate men at her heels. Any morn
ing they would ride from their clair, J."

some sleepy and peaceful cast Texas
town, clean out the general store and
rob everybody IN sight. Then off they
would dash in a cloud OF dust, whoop-

inoffensive sky.
At one time, so the story goes, Belle
went into a town, incognito, with a
body guard of two and stopped at the
hotel. While she sat in the dining room
dressed in the mans attire she affected
enjoying her bacon and eggs. well
known Texas Judge entered the room
and looked about. Belle bent over hel

REACTION IN GERMANY.

II the leaders of the German Peo-
pies Party, who have declared them
selves in favor of Democratic
monarchy, mean no more than their
words convey when taken literally,
their plans would make little differ
ence to Germany, or really Demo-
cratic monarchy would be at least as
much a government by the people as
the present system provides. The
difference would be that in the place
of President Ebert, who, by the way.
was never elected, there would be
placed an official having the title OF
king, but the center of executive pow
err would be found in prime min
lister responsible to parliament, In
short, the government would be like
that of Great Britain, where popular
power is as great as 1t is IN any
country.
If anything were gained by this
proposed change 1t would be sentl-
mental and unimportant. Some Ger
mans would be better content II they
could pay Difference to monarch
ratner imam vote IOr preSiucH'' LUZ
it is not safe to assume that the men
who are engineering this movement
back toward the kaiser would be con-
tent with any alteration in the form
Of the government which did not
carry a change of substance with 1t.
They talk about a Democratic mon,
archy but there is strong likelihood
that they mean to restore the old
monarchy with its large concentra-
ton of power in the privileged and
military classes.
If the German people use good
sense they will not countenance such
a reaction because, entirely aside from
questions of internal policy, they
cannot afford to compromise their
relations with their neighbors by a
return to the days Of the war lords
and the junkers. No people need to
cultivate friendship more than the
Germans do and it is difficult to
imagine how they could stir distrust
against themselves more certainly
than BY reviving system that bercft
them of almost every friend they

spot where she had located the intake
OF her water supply. This was the time
when daily bulletins were issued on
the condition of the water. Sometimes
lit could be used and sometimes it was
necessary to boil it, and all the time
Chicago wondered why she could not
have decent water.
Then Chicago hit upon the plan OF
pumping water from the lake and caus-
ing it to flow backward through
canal into the Illinois river. There was
a world of trouble before this idea was
carried out at the expenditure of many
millions of dollars. Many competent
engineers declared, when this plan was
suggested, that it would never be salts
factory and would at most, be only
makeshift. Their prediction has been
verified, for Chicago is now trying to
push a bill through Congress allowing
her to take still more water from the
lake. This it must be remembered at
fects the volume of water in all the
system of the Great Lakes and lessons
the flow of water through the st. Law
renee river which is the main waterway
of Canada.
A bill has been introduced at Wash
ingtor allowing Chicago to draw 10000
cubic feet of water every second tor
the sake of giving her an adequate flow
through her drainage canal. Naturally.
the bill is opposed by the people OF
Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio, who have
great interests in the lakes and in lake
transportation. Furthermore it must
be remembered that Lakes Superior,
Huron, Erie and Ontario are as much
Canadian waters as they are American
and that in common justice. Chicago has
no right to lower the level of the great
lakes to degree where it may adversely
affect the interests of Canada. Conse-
quenty. there seems to be strong
probability that Chicago will not secure
the national legislation she is seeking.
Chicago is one of the great cities OF
the earth. There are many people who
believe that she is destined to become
the largest city in all the world. She
certainly has chance to be that. IT,
however, she is to grow and expand,
she must hit upon some system of sew
age disposal other than that of dumping
il into a stream and allowing the stream
to float it away. That is the crudest
sort of an arrangement and her city
pride should tell Chicago that she has
long ago outgrown such sma,l-town
stuff
Other cities have their systems of
garbage disposal by fire and there is
no reason why so great city as Chi
cago should not have hers. The time
has passed when she can GO down to
