B5 WIKBBBSSBBBBBSSS! MERELY COMMENT Bravo! The Trib comes right out in the open this morning and gives the names and addresses of four Chi cagoans who were arrested and con victed for spitting on the sidewalk. No backwardness about it "a tall." Right out where Trib readers could see it Yesterday Judge Wells fined four concerns for violation of labor laws. We didn't see a mention of it in the Trib. The four concerns were members of the Illinois Manufacturers' ass'n. The four spitters were merely members of their own families. It takes a lot of queer doings to make the world go around. Incidentally members of the Illi nois Manufacturers' ass'n advertise in the Trust Press as a rule. An employer who docks his em ployes for being late on a day like to day reminds us of one of those little animals that makes Johnny go home and change his clothes If he chases it We're beginning to wonder if the doctors and the weather man are in a league together, If you haven't yet had a cold or sore throat this winter you are a cu riosity in Chicago. If anybody breaks into your home, quietly rush to the telephone While you are waiting for central to say "number please" the robber will grab up your jewels and coin and skip. You will not, in this way, be beaten up. Such is telephone service these days. "Resolved, That the epidemic in Chicago is not la grippe, but old-fashioned colds and pneumonia," will be discussed by Chicago Medical society members tonight. All right So far, so good, but Here's a little resolution all our own: Resolved, That whatever the blam ed epidemic is, we would all be tickled to death to get rid of it Wm. Chenery has a cracker-jack article on "Baby Bandits" in the Trib this morning. It listens humane. Sounds like Chenery might have a couple of ypungsters tf his own. He realizes Doys are numane Deings, just tne -v same. J NOW HINT AT MOOSE AND THE G. 0. P. GETTING TOGETHER Complete amalgamation of the Republican and Progressive parties is now possible, the result of the meeting of the Progressive national committee meeting at the Congress hotel last night The Progressives made it clear they are willing to unite with the G. O. P. if they can have a Progres sive as the presidential candidate. Col. Roosevelt is the one most fa vored to buck Pres. Wilson at the presidential polls, but if the old party could not swallow the colonel the Progressives would be satisfied with Justice Hughes or a number of oth ers of progressive political trend who even need not be open members of the Progresisve party. Geo. Perkinsfi angel of the Pro gressive party, today in an interview today declared thatthe Progressive party would continue as a separate, distinct organization, despite any agreement made with the Republi can part ythis year for the purpose of defeating Woodrow Wilson for the presidency. "Double harness for this political race, not amalgamation, is the Pro gressive party's plan," said Perkins. "We have done our share. We have shown our willingness to select a single candidate from both Repubt lican and Progressive -parties. This does not mean amalgamation, but the possibility of two tickets with the same candidate. I want the fact em phasized that the Progressive party will continue as a separate orenU 1 zation."
