DAILY COMMENT ON
Why not, instead of "Windy City,"
call our Chicago "Dirty City"?
At least until 01' Sol is kind enough
to come out and melt away some, of

the streets.
a newcomer 10 this iana, auer
looking things over, would probably
come" to the conclusion that the
United States militia was kept up to
protect property at the cost of human
lives.
Now what made you think Calumet
and Trinidad was running through
our mind?
Fate was real kind to us during the
primaries. Nobody offered us a cam
paign .cigar.
Which brings up the question if
the so-called cigars are as bad as
they are for election time, what
could they possibly be during mere
primary times?
Wow! Give us the plain every day
common makin's. n .
Hurrah! .Some of the White Sox
bunch" made a hit with King .George
of Bally 01' Hengiand.
But, wait a minute, we'll take back
that "hurrah." The hit they made
isn't going to boost their batting
averages, any. .
Bern' as how you are liable to get
arrested by a cop for spitting on the
sideValk, some real "funny" fellow
one of these days is going to. spit on
a cop.
At that, though, the spitting on the
" sidewalk habit is" a vile one.
Anybody who can't take time to
step over to the curb had better wear
a sponge on their lip.
If you., have got. a goatee, never
mind getting a. sponge.
'Sfunny how other folks' feelings
can affect you. We bumped into one
man down in the loop and lie smiled
and said, "Beg pardon, pardner."
You feel like walking a mile out of
your way to mi$s that fellow the next
time.
And then we slammed into another
PEOPLE AND THINGS
person, or rather he slammed into us,
and he gruffly snapped, "Why the 'ell
don't you look where you are go
ing?"
How lovely and agreeable a person
like that makes you feel.
So the next time anybody bumps
into you with a crash' in the loop,
thank 'em.
And then we'll always have peace
in the family.
We Owe Men Exactly Nothing
Grab off the first letter of each word
those are the people that feel that
way toward the harsh sex concern
ing political affairs.
Mother may I go out to vote,
Yes, my darling daughter.
Don't sell your vote for punk cigars,
But vote for whom you aughter.
The United Charities is out beg
ging again. This time they want the
good folks .of Chicago to come
through with $25,000.
Must be the high cost of living.
You see the H. C. of L. hits all the
salaried people working for .the U. C.
And a good , big share of .the money
collected by the U. C. goes out in salaries.
