Predominating Disgust.

The activities of Chicago's mayor in
his America first ideas have at
tracted international attention and
pretty general international criticism.
His latest attempt, however, to insult
the English and to bring discredit
upon Chicago surpasses all the others.
Mayor Thompson is the organizer of
the America First Foundation" When
his ideas about America first were
broadcast throughout the country
there was small response to the in
vitation to join the organization at
ten dollars a head, and ii seemed as
If it would founder on the rocks of
public opinion and financial instabil-
ity. But Mayor Thompson hit upon
another bright idea. He would col.
lect from the personnel of the munich
pal departments under his control.
And so the six thousand five hundred
policemen in Chicago were notified
that each would have to fork up ten
dollars for membership or else suffer
the displeasure of the mayor. This
is a fine break for me-" one patrol
man said. Here they knock US off
for ten dollars just before Christmas.
That means that a couple Of my kids
will be short Christmas presents, but
know that IL don't pay up I might
as well get out the old hip boots, be-
cause / will be sent out into the sticks
where the tall trees grow"
OF course, IL Mayor Thompson is
questioned about his browbeating tao
tics with the police force he will claim
that no order went out from his office,
but just a general invitation, and it
will be exceedingly difficult to make
out a concrete case. But the people
Of Chicago and the people of the coun-
try know what it means for police
man to refuse that kind of an invita-
ton, and If they were not Disguised
with the antics OF Chicago's chief ex-
ecutive before they will have a full
measure Of that feeling now.

Prncrastinators.

1t takes only a short drive on a
cold morning to discover how wide
spread is procrastination and how ex-
pensive 1t is for the procrastinators.
Car after car this morning had the ap-
pearance of steam engine as its owner
drove downtown. Steam from the bot
tom of the radiators and steam from
the top, in some cases almost binding
the driver. These procrastinators
seem to have an exceptionally difficult
time learning an exceedingly easy
lesson. 1t is one of the most obvious
truisms in the world that anti-freeze
liquid for the radiator costs less than
the inevitable repairs made necessary
by the lack Of 1t. Yet history repeats
itself day after day. and while it means
increased business for the garage man,
it means decreased business for the
owner. And the most amazing thing
about 1t is that communities spend
millions of dollars for accident pre-
vention and expect results from per-
sons who have not even the intelli-
gence to save themselves money, which
should be the most ordinary kind of
intelligence extant.

fold his child in his arms, but found
instead her horribly mutilated corpse,
with legs and arms severed and tight
wire around her neck.
Such a crime has seldom been dupE-
Gated. 1t is unspeakably revolving. SO
unnecessary. without reason and with
such ferocity! 1t is difficult to under
stand how the human mind could con-
ceive such a diabolical outrage. The
sorrowing family of the little victim
has the heartfelt sympathy of every
man and woman in the country. The
fiend, when caught, and he will be
sooner or later, should have a quick
trial and quick execution. There is
no room in the world of civilization

An Atrocious Crime.

More than four thousand police and
citizens of California are engaged in
a man hunt to find the fiend who
committed one Of the most atrocious
crimes in the history Of the United
States. Fifty thousand dollars reward
has been offered, and the prayers of
an entire Nation are behind the gigan-
tic posse. Last Thursday twelve-year-
old Marian Parker. the daughter of a
banker, was kidnapped from school.
Her abductors wrote to the father. de-
manding fifteen hundred dollars ram
som. He agreed to pay and arranged to
meet the kidnaper a block from his
home. The appointment was kept, the
fifteen hundred dollars being paid over,
and the criminal instructed the dis
tracted father to stand where he was
until his sleeping" daughter was de-
posted on her own front steps. The
father saw the fiend stop at his house

The Market Site.

The more the question of the loca-
ton of the farmers market, soon 10
be ousted from its present site by the
Government building works, is con-
sidered. the more urgent it appears
that permanent site for it should
be Immediately selected and provision
made for its acquisition in one meas
ure. 1t may be necessary to make a
provisional arrangement for the dis
play and vending of goods brought
into the city by nearby growers pend
ing the erection of permanent sheds,
shelters and accommodations. But
there is substantial reason grounded
in experience for avoiding a postpone
ment of the decision as to the perma.
nent site.
In their ton to Con-
gress the Commissioners express the
expectation that ultimately the farm
ers' market will be located at the
point where the wholesalers chiefly
congregate and prefer to wait until
that congregation has been determined
upon before specifically recommending
site. They fail to take into account
the possibility that when the whole
salers are ousted from their present
location in the immediate neighbor.
hood of Center Market they may
spread out over a wide area. The
only sure way to cause them to con-
eentrate within a relatively restricted
space is to supply them with a gath
ering point such as the central retail
market or the farmers market, per-
haps both.
Public apprehension is felt with
cause lest the placing of the farmers
market on one of the sections of the
Mall as a provisional measure will
lead to procrastination. It is the only
unit of the market group which must
be shifted from it's present location
Immediately. While the bill to acquire
the entire Mall-Avenue triangle is
likely to be passed early in the ses-
sion and within a few months con-
demnation proceedings, failing direct
purchases, will be under way through
out the area, the Governments build
ing plans do not contemplate any
erections at once upon the spaces now
occupied by the wholesalers or the
Center Market. Those spaces may be

be undertaken for at least two years.
1t is altogether likely that short of
the taking of the entire market area
tract as whole by the Government
and peremptory custer Of all occu-
pants there will during the next two
or three years be a gradual dispersal
of the wholesale establishments in an
accelerating movement as available
locations elsewhere become more de-
sirable and less easily secured. But
without any nucleus such as that fur
nished by the farmers market there
will be no assured concentration.
The practical way to avoid dis
persal and particularly to avoid a
protracted occupation Of the Mall by
the farmers market is to select a
permanent site for that institution
now. coupled with a temporary pro-
vision with a strict time limit Other
wise there will be continued uneasi-
ness and anxiety on the score Of an
other makeshift creation in the park,
which, fairly serving its purposes, will
be allowed to remain indefinitely.

occupy positions of eminence and trust
in the Government of the United

Every one who has ever had any
experience in trying to get to see

with the speakers above quoted.
1t is true enough that the biggest

the most affable after one gets into

This is the happiest part of it.

Some officials do maintain. on the

1t is generally discovered. however,
that such persons are almost always
of the lowest ranks-that is, 1t is
