JOE ETTOR'S GOT SWELL SOCIETY GUESSING Joe Ettor. New York, Jan. 11. There is much consternation among the swell sassiety of New York to day. Joe Ettor of Lawrence fame is the cause of it. Ettor addressed a mass meeting of the striking ho tel workers last night. In the course of his speech he said: "If you are forced to return to work under the present condi tions, go back with your minds made up that it is the unsafest thing in the world for the capital ist to eat food prepared and served by members of your union." Ettor was asked what he meant by this. "I meant just what I said," he replied. And you can figure it out any way you like, but if the capital ists of New York force the wait ers and cooks to return to work under the old conditions, they probably will acquire the far eastern habit of having a taster test their food before eating it. MERELY COMMENT When life palled on Daniel, he oozediinto a lions' den to try and liven things up. When life palls on Woodrow Wilson he comes to Chicago and painfully regards the Illinois Democratic party and the har mony thereof. State's Attorney Hoyne has just discovered te startling fact that some newspapers (make a business of protecting gunmen and highway robbers. Hoyne says that if he can't get the truth about present conditions before the people any other way, he'll hire a theater and tell 'em face to face. Maybe Mr. Maclay Hoyne does not intend to be bossed the way certain other state's attorneys have been bossed. Some things would almost seem to suggest that the Hon. Cap. Halpin desired to discredit Chief McWeeny. It is to be hoped that Uncle Sam will find some way of curing Bill Rockefeller of the delirium tremens or whatever it is that makes him shake so he can't talk. Was that Arabian Nights ball for charity for the purpose of showing off jewelry? The sound of running you hear is made by politicians coming from Springfield to try and grab off Woodrow Wilson and whis per a few sweet nothings in his ear.
