The broad ax., 1927-01-01
By CHARLES STEWART

The government of the United
States, in its most busy department
representing over a half million OF
men, has a representative in Chicago,
a servant who has given to all the
people the class of labor never before
rendered from that department Wisely
he saw the future, when he dug out OF
his own vocabulary the rich thought
Don't bury your live ideas in our
dead letter Office" This raised the
educational chirography Of the group
of people who simply scribed any old
thing as an address and forgot that
Newton ever wrote calculations. Thus
he has enabled thousands OF people
in every section of the country to re-
ceive that which the sender intended
he should have.
In every other branch he has sought
"a make it efficient. Whatever might
have been the avenue that gave to our
group the standing OF foreman and
special clerks it can be said without
fear or contradiction that the depart
ment at Washington would not have
10 KID the promotions unless Post
master Arthur c. Lueder acquesced
in its entirety Thus, the ~ bigot
who takes all the credit should have
recognized the executive power OF the
Postmaster of Chicago.
When Postmaster Lueder refused to
accept the pledges OF seventy-hve
thousand or more OF our best citizens
70 become candidate for Mayor OF
this great commonwealth upon the de-
sire to complete his term as Post
master and give to the people things
Of his mind that will give broader and
better service to the Postal Depart
ment Of Chicago.
His friends look at a distant but
short when they will again call upon
him to fill a public office, which re-
ouires a man OF the broadest type and
highest character for the fultllment OF
law and order. He was a soldier III
the Spanish-AmeriCan War and ne
well understands the instruction to men
that means what it says. 1t may be
4 little premature but when the cleo
ton to be called by Governor Small
gives notice for the successor by the
people of the best loved lrishman ever
elected to office in this County, the
late Patrick J. Carr, group represent
ing a large component part OF the re-
publicans OF this county will present to
the voters OF Chicago and Cook County
this stalwart soldier, Arthur c. Lueder,
for the shrievalty.
The Public wishes its Chicago Post
master renewed SutHSlll ~ XIV "iHNi
vision for a superior service in the
remaining days Of his term as Post
master.
Our Christmas and Yuletide season
has a charm of distinction OF its own,
There is no holiday throughout the en-
fire wear which thrills us all with its
events. Of dancing, luncheons, card
parties, dinners, and the pleasant mem
cries OF the chat OF friends OF auld
Ianq svne. The contagion OF the
Christmas spirit has seemed to be If
resistibIe this wear. Every one has
seemed to grasp the opportunity to
cast off their worries, vexatlons, and
complexities of our modern lite, and
again become children in spirit, gen
erositv. prove to the world that they
are not hard-hearted Scrooge. 1t IS
only to be regretted that space will
not permit the readers to know OF all
the eventful things that have been
brought to our attention.
The Literary and Dramatic Club OF
the Hope Presbyterian Church, DIST
Street and LOOMS Blvd, presented to
the Congregation and Community
friends Nativity" a pageant, which
was so we'll portrayed that the many
attendants who left their holly decor
ated homes at the wee hour Christ
mas morning expressed nothing other
than that of the great entertainment.
Captain Frances Lawrence and Lieu
tenant Ethyle Guevarra, OF Girl Scout
Troop 100, Hope Presbyterian Church
are to be congratulated for their untir-
ing efforts for the holiday entertain
ment of the Scouts. More than two
hundred OF the younger social set OF
Englewood and neighboring commun-
tiles gathered Tuesday evening at the
Ogden Park Field House, 65th Street
