KING GEORGE SHOULD WORRY Of all the blithering asses that have ever sprung into prominence in the land of the Stars and Stripes, this man, William Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago, is, without any doubt, the most cemplete. F91: years â€"â€"â€" ‘A‘ he has been roaming about his nat- ive city hurling epithets and words of vituperation at King George, the British Empire and anything Brit- ish that may chance to come under his notice. At his last election he was landslided into office by the votes of Chicago‘s overwhelming anti-British population, and now his latest outburst is against certain volumes in the Chicago Library, contributed to the city by the late Queen Victoria following the disas- trous tire ot' 1871. and expressing her sympathy for the peOple who had so recently undergone so many hardships. Coming from hated Bri- tain. Mayor Thompson sees red ev- ery time he thinks about them. and he is determined to have them taken from the library shelves, piled on the lake Shore and burned. ' . Men like Thompson are a‘ mill-‘ stone to any nation. The average citizen of the l'nited States is a pretty c’lecent fellow, and it is gratiâ€" fying to know that the statements of this arch-blatherskite of the twentieth century are not taken very seriously by United States citizens generally. Already steps have been taken to. put this misfit in his place and Mayor Thompson may find out that he has bitten off more than he can chew. Whosoever is afraid of submit- ting any question, civil. or regigio'ugs, Every decent man likes a man who love; and is patriotic to his country. but loyalty. to one’s coun- try is anything else than berating the other fellow. Chicago’s mayor is but proving himself the ass he is and making his gityt‘hen laughing- “II‘_I J‘vuu--c -_- stockuof both the British Empii'e and the ['nited States in pursuing his F’I'_Q_59n§-c9ur.5€:. , 1- A _ LA-.. 1v..t\-non r’LLV\ b.‘ \r\ The United States has been known for years as the melting pot of the world. Our advice to Chicago would be to melt Thompson over again, and if, in the re-rendering process, they should happen to stir up the fire and forget he was in the kettle neither the United States nor the world would lose much. 'V‘-.-‘- -vvv â€"__ Mayor Thompson doesn’t mean what he says. He knows better. In our opinion he is but one of those political morons who will stoop to anything to retain office, and with a large anti-British population such 1"’ n:1_n _-...- as resides in the Windy City, some such tw-addle has to be used at elec~ tion time and in the intervals to get and hold his votes. We will gamble that Thompson knows as well or better than anybody that he does not occupy the mayor’s chair with the sanction of the intelligent elector- ate. that. he could not retain his posi- tion if he attempted to talk any- thing sensible. . 1'. ' n--___‘- A‘J ‘1“.“c Vv--v-~-v' In the meantime. King George and the British Empire have little to worry about. They can go about their usual business of making this world just a little better to live in and will be remembered. even in Chicago. long after its citizens have forgotten who this man Thompson is 01' was. FINISH THE JOB Our advice to the Durham Town Council sq far as their actions affect the renovated Town Hall is to go ahead and “finish the job”. We are not criticizing them so far as they have gone. but honestly, we think they have not gone far enough. “hen the job is finished we wuld like to see it a completed job, with nothing left undone. for future wor- ries. lL‘d. During the past week it has been brought to our attention that as yet nohing has been done toward the installation of lavatories or other conveniences in the building. This to our way of thinking is a mistake. It. will have to come sometime, and the work can be done a‘ good deal cheaper today than it will be at any time in the future, _ Personally. we would have liked to have seen the old building ven~ eered this fall. but as this is out of the question at this season of the year. we hope and trust that the mistake of not proceeding the nec- essary conveniences will not be made. At the best, our entertain-i ment centre cannot be expected to be up-to-date in the present meaning of the word. but it will be a great deal better than it has ever been before. and we feel that it will not be a wise policy to hew too close to the line in the matter of ex- pense. To date the-Council has done well. They have acted in -full- co- operation with the I. O. D. E.. and while there is not a member of the Council who does not recognize-that Thursday, October 27,_1927 the bricking of the building would be a good bpsiness move, the matter _ LL... “Anton“ fhg* ”U a 6WU Uuusn; of .expense as been the_'réason that. thxs has never been semously advo- cated. . - ‘1'12-__-1 “An‘ UGLCU.
