so a car man may take his wife and Aiddies out. The summer parks are calling them, just as auto rides and real joys are calling Busby. Stop and think-the hours car men put in. They leave tome at 6 a. m., make two trips, come home about 10 a. m., go back at 3 p. m. At 10:30 p. m. they come home all tired out Nine hours' standing, where as high as 800 people can treat you as they feeL Of course, some are very kind. Again, the cranks would make you crazy arguing 'about transfers two hours late while they have a good one in their pockets. A car man puts 14 to 15 hours on a run at that rate for 9 hours' work, with $2.70 a day1, at 30c an hour, after three years' service. Sure is some wages. A Car Man's Wife. WHO'S THE WRITER? May I please be informed through your Public Forum who the broad-minded, intelligent person is who writes "Con fessions of a Wife"? I have been a constant reader of The Day Book for almost two years and I surely think this is the most realistic and true-to-life story that I have ever read.

What we need is UNIFORMITY of thought Devout people will refer all THOUGHTS, SPEECH or WRITING to' the CHURCH, before uttering them. C. H. GIVE CREDIT. I admired the answer to Mr. Tompkins by G. H, Curtis very much, but I like to see every one who quotes from the writ ings of another to give the author credit for it The last part of his letter is from "Ingersoll's. Vision of the Future," and I want the public to know it. These same tactics Billy Sunday used in using Ingersoll's Decoration ad dress as his own, but one like Billy Sunday is liable to do anything. A.R, LIBERTY. BELL. Liberty Bell is not what it is cracked up to me. As Eva Tanguay said: "O, liberty, what chimes are committed in thy name!" With one-half of the country living on the other half and the other halt living on breakfast food, where in the bell is there liberty? E.
