Prisons and Prisoners

An Echo from Don't Come to Chi
cagov
Some weeks ago | wrote. in this
column, a release detailing why / ad-
vised paroled prisoners, generally
speaking, not to come Chicago. Al
the time it was published a certain
paroled prisoner took me to task for
writing it, claiming that even if it
was the truth that it would hurt the
chances of others who might be able
to get to Chicago. did not argue
pedient for the moment, without
with him / knew the type. Any x
thinking of the later result.
Today when | returned to my office
/ found this note awaiting me, 49,.
Have been trying to see you for
hours. Am at wits end and don't know
which way to turn. Must see you at
There was no name attached to the
note nor did / recognize the hand
writing but I waited for the party to
call and he did-the same fellow who
chided me for writing my earlier re-
lease. And he was as perfect an ex-
ample of why paroled prisoners
should not come to Chicago as I ever
o- -. homo 70 Goa
At a glance you could tell that he
was either drunk, sick or starving, or
perhaps all three. His breath was
free from any sign of drink so I knew
at once what his trouble was He
was the last time I say him, one of
the fortunate fellows who had a
mother and brother here who gave
him a home and provided for him,
etc.
I asked him about his mother and
found out that she was sick and his
brother who was, a few months ago,
working four days a week, is now
only working two days a week and
could hardly support himself and his
sick mother and so the other brother
the paroled prisoner-was put out
of the home because they positively
could not take care Of him Although,
as the paroled prisoner told me, he
had tramped the streets for work he
was not qualified for and today he
was nearly at the end of his rope,
sick, without food and without in
conveniencing his brother and sick
mother without ven a place of shell
ter.
Naturally I did what I could fo1
him but at best the relief was only
temporary. Next week. next month
and next winter, he is going to have
to face the same problem only in g
more acute manner He has ne
qualifications that would make hin
particularly useful to any one else
and such ordinary common labor
that he can perform it is possible t.

same thing.

while, as tabulators raced to tally
California's vote, opponents of the
prohibition amendment enjoyed an
advantage Of more than 100000
votes on the early returns. First
returns from southern California

one lead, and although this per-
centage was not maintained, re-

Adventure Club

So many stories are told of
Bonnie Prince Charlie, still the
darling of all true Scottish
hearts, that it would take many
books in which to record them.
But no one ever speaks or
thinks Of the prince without a
thought for Flora Macdonald,
the brave young Scotch girl who
helped him escape from his en-
emieS.
Flora Macdonald was a true
Scotch heroine. Some day you
will read of her in your history
books. Maybe you have al
ready and certainly if you are
Of Scotch descent you have
heard of that brave and beauti-
full young girl.
The prince, his cause lost,
escaped from Scotland disguised
as one of Flora's maids. The
English captured her and put
her in the Tower of London
where she remained until her
friends obtained her release.
Later, after her marriage,
she came to America and
until after the Revolutionary
War lived in North Carolina.
She died a very old lady, hon.
ored and beloved by everyone
who knew her or who had
heard of her exploits.
Flora's story is too long to
tell here. But if you are in
terested go to the Public Library
and ask for one of the many
books that have been written
about her. You will enjoy read
ing Of her adventures.
We promised you Saturday a
heroine for each Of the heroes
we mentioned the day we intro
duced William Wallace Nc
Gregor to the club. We have
given you one for Sir William
Wallace, Robert the Bruce. Earl
Douglas and Bonnie Prince
Charlie.
The other hero we spoke Of
that day was Rob Roy Nc
Gregor of whom Sir Walter
Scott writes in his book Rob
Roy"
Rob Roy's" wife, Helen Nc
Gregor, was as brave as the
best of them. But hardly as
gentle as we would like to have
our heroines. She had many
wrongs, however, and we could
never find it in our heart to be
hard on her. Read ''Rob Roy"
and see if you do not agree
with us.
