ggt,as!fmnt "tfF1 B tL the battle of life and help make this earift better and .happier .and. purer than we found it. . John McCoey, 1028 W. Jackson Blvd. Criticism of Cochran. I have read t your amazing statement replying to Mr. Farwell, Your, ignorance qf what is going on in Chicago is astounding. To say that even 10 per cent of Mr. Farwell's work has to do directly with the-females, of the tenderloin is mak ing it very high. A study of his finan cial report would show what he is engaged in; and if yo,u would peruse that a while you would be a wiser and I hope a humbler Mian. Moreover, why did you omit the name of Prof. Henderson of the United Charities from among those signing the Vice Commission report? An acquaint ance with what he is doing would quickly upset alLyour pet theories about the United Charities, not to mention where you have deplorably -fallen down in describing other or ganizations. In the third place, it is no fault of the preachers that you have not heard how they have "thundered from their pulpits the awful facts" about low wages, etc. I have heard such thundering direct from a num ber and heard about them from much larger number. Mrs. Raymond Robins' correspondence also will re veal that they have joined in with her work in organizing the clerks. You look to me very mueh like a quack, interested in the coin just as much as in bettering your fellow men, and not entirely averse to garbling the facts if your-purpose can thns be bet ter served. I am sure that no one who is seriously -concerned about Chicago will pay any attention to you, such as you are, in my judgment, tfio hand nf all Timo-roca J, L. Garrison, 5734 Maryland Av. Who Garrison Is. I don't know Mr. Garrison who wrote the above, but the letter came to me on a letter head, on which is printed: "The J. L. I I Garrison Lectures. Living. Eloquent Forceful. Unexcelled inherit, Superb iri "Interest, Delightful' in Appeal,' Filled With "Vital Principles, Far reaching in Usefulness. A Man Who Makes You Think and Who Enter tains by the Very Happiness of His Manner. A Mighty Man With a Mighty Message, Garrison Cannot Fail to Please." ? When I read that I didn't have the .heart to refuse to publish his lecture on me. N. D. & War With Mexico. Bearing in mind that W. R. Hearst owns vast tracts of land in Mexico the follow ing extract from .a long editorial in Hearst Chicago American of Tues day are not only interesting but il luminating: "We shall free Mexico from a Spanish system, complicated by In dian bloodthirstiness, and solve the problem for Mexico and the Mexicans by making of that country UNITED STATES TERRITORY and of the people United States citizens. "The Mexican consul general says it (the war) will costfine hundred millions. That may be true. The UNITED STATES CAN AFFORD IT The territory that would be added to the United States would be cheap at five thousand millions. "When this war is qver and the end may come soon, for the sake of Mexico and her oppressed people there will be many millions of acres south of our present frontier made, prosperous, happy, useful AND AMERICAN." oo ' ', A GOOD IDEA "A famous educator says every body ought to read a little poetry every day." "I agree with him. If more people would read poetryifivery day perhaps there wouldn't be so many tryingta write if."
