WIPWWSBffSBWBflWW COCHRAN'S COMMENT YO MAYOR THOMPSON. Say, Bill: Back up and start all over again onthat public school thing. Throw Jake Loeb into the discard. Appoint new members of the school board that Jake can't lead around by the nose, He's made a mess of it and darned little credit in it The News ana itid are Dacmng jaKe, ana mey are sore at the Teachers' Federation. You know why! Margaret Haley and the Federation showed up that in famous midnight school lease and hpw the Trib and News are robbing the school children of Chicago. I be lieve you're for the public schools, Bill. So are the teachers. The great est protection the public schools of Chicago have today is the Teachers' Federation. They'll fight for the public schools and the pupils. Jake Loeb will fight for the Trib, News and 111. Manufacturers' ass'ii. Get wise. Show the folks you've still got some public spirit in you. You'll get ' farther backing the Teachers' Feder ation than, backing the Sportsmen's club. Get these good, excellent and ' superior teachers back on the job. Appoint members of the school board who will give them a square deal. THE BOYS ARE BACK HOME Yes. the boys are home again the soldier boys who left Illinois and went to the Mexican border. It may be YOUR boy was one of them. . If he was, I know YOU are mighty glad he's home again. You didn't know when he left that he would get back home. For all you knew our coun try would be plunged into war with Mexico, and YOUR boy along with thousands of other boys would be hurled across the border and possi bly buried in a Mexican grave. There was a demand, you know, that we throw an army of 500,000 American boys into Mexico to kill Mexicans and make valuable the mines of the . Guggenheims and the ranches of the Hearsts. And if YOUR boy wasn't among the first few that went, he might be among the many thousands who would be on their way there now. Had YOUR president been, weak, had he been a tool of Wall street, a creature of the Rockefellers, Hearsts and Guggenheims, we would be at war with Mexico now. And YOUR boy wouldn't be back home again. He might be fighting to the death for Guggenheim and Hearst. Isn't there some reason, you fathers and mothers of Illinois, why, as you fold your boy to your arms, that YOU should thank God for Wil son, the man of peace? THE LINE-UP Wall street's against Wilson. Morgan and Rock efeller are against Wilson. The New York-X3hicago money trust is against Wilson. Penrose, Smoot, Barnes and Murray Crane are against Wilson. The Steel Trust and Standard Oil are against Wilson. The Vanderbilts, Astors, Guggen heims 'and Stotesburys are against Wilson. The, Beef Trust is against Wilson. The railroad mutes are against Wilson. Hearst and Gary "are against Wilson. The Pullman Co. is against Wilson. Nobody for Wilson but THE PEOPLE. A TIP FOR THE1 TRUST. Here's a tip for the Bell phone trust: Let that Automatic deal ride as it is. The Armour crowd didn't make good on the contract. They got the city coun cil and the state board of public util ities, but they didn't get the attorney general of the U. S. You know what your agreement with Uncle Sam is. You know ybu will be held to the let ter of the agreement. The fight won't be over if you buy the Automatic. It will just be started. It will be to a .finish. Don't be fooled by the no tion that loop press editorials are the public sentiment of Chicago. Keep off the grass. Let well enough alone. A ssmsmmiimmmudmi
