LEGAL"BlACK MAIL
The So-Called Legal Fraternity
Rotten With Alleged Lawyers,
Who Live Upon the Sorrows
of Others.
The Chicago legal fraternity needs
a purgative It Is too full of crooks
and blackmailers who are living upon

is only one of many. This class of
vermin la boosted nnd nldod by cer
tain "reform" associations, somo of
which are paid out of tho public
funds and nro "authorized" black
mailers. Tho exposuro of thoso frauds Is cer
tain to come, nnd will shako tho
daylights out of tho legal crooks,
who now fatten on human misery.

PUBLIC SERVICE
ERRORS
Too Many of Them to Suit the
Public.
If tho City I opaitmcnt of Public
?orvlco over gets thiough shtupcnlng
Its teeth It should look after tho
street signs placed at Interactions.
Hundreds of thorn nro misspelled.
Many of thom aro misleading.
South Wells street at Cist slroot Is
ttlll named on tho sign at that cor
ner. S. nth avenue
Sedgwick street Is misspelled
Scdgowlck street on all signs.
Tooker plnco, called alter ur.
Tooker, tho Chicago Inventor of tho
Keyless lire alarm box, Is mlsspolled
Tucker placo.
And so It goes all over tho city.
Inspecting smokes la ovldently
easier than Inspecting Bomo kinds of
public utilities.
W. T. Cummlngn, tho woll known
englneor nnd contractor, has mado n

over tho country.
Harry It. Gibbons Is mnklus

Dennis J. Egnn Is a Domocrattc
leader of force, ability and popularity.
Tho Ollvor typewriter is praised by
till who hiie used It.
The Tooth Extracting and Smoke
Consuming Department in the
City Hall Makes People
Laugh.
Why doesn't tlio alleged city de
partment of Public Scrvlco got after
tlio fraudulent weighing machines,
with which the city Is infested?
Can you guess why It doesn't?
There arc 102,041 of these machines
scattered all over the city on city
sidewalks.
It Is safo to say that 100,000 of them
are out of order most of tlio time.
They yield an Immense rovenuo, as
oach imtron is obliged to glvo up one
cent for tlio prlvilcgo of finding out
how much ho docs not weigh.
Another fraud on the public is tlio
counterfeit gum vending cenMn-tlio
(dot machine which In tlio majority of
oases, takes the cent but yields no
Win,
Why is it that tho City Department
of Public Scrvlco permits theso frauds
to exist?
RE-FORMING CHICAGO
A big fight is being mado at Spring
field for tho passago of tho following
laws affecting Chicago:
Non-partisan elections for aldermen
and mayor.
Reducing tho number of aldcrmon
from soventy to fifty.
Increasing tho number of city
wards from thlrty-flvo to fifty, with
one alderman representing each ward.
Recall for aldermen and mayor.
Eliminating tho ofTlces of city
clerk and city treasurer from tho
elective olllccs and making thom op
polntlvo by tho council.
Tho bills, If successfully pushed
through tho stnto legislature muBt go
to tho pooplo for ratification on a ref

tho city council, was nut In tho dis

to tho council In a bill providing for
four years Instead of two-year tcrmB
for tho city fathers and provided for
ono alderman from each of thlrty
flvo wards. It lost by a voto of 32
to 27 and was then nmonded to pro
vldo for fifty wards, with an nldor
mnn from each.
NEED HOUSE NUMBERS
Over Half the Residences, Stores,
Apartment Buildings and Other
Structures in Chiccago Are
Without Them.
Tho casual obsorvor cannot fall to
notlco that ono of tho crying nooda
of Chicago Is Btroct numbora on tho
buildings.
Slnco tho passago or tho new stroot
car ordinance which provides for
tho stopping of tho cars nt ovon
numbered cornors only, tho nbsonco
of tho numbers Is painfully notlco
able nnd much nnuoynnco Is folt In
consoquonco.
Lottor cnrrlorB nnd others who havo
long suffered from this flagrant dis
regard of tho law requiring numbers
on every house havo grown tired of
uttering complaints. No attention
was paid to thom.
Wholo blocks all ovor Chicago aro
without numbers, and no ono In au

YOU ARE JUST AS

interpretation "A man's Just as old
as his Splno allows him to fool."
Tho spinal column Is tho main con

pass from tho brain, and from which
tho tiny feeders nro distributed to
every portion of tho body. If through
abnormal curvature tho bones of tho
spinal column obstruct tho frco flow
of tho health-giving currents from tho

Chiropractor adjusts tho causo of tho
