Ask for the Ciroulation Depar ment Is Landis Weakening? Judge Landis, who bravely socked that $29,090,000 fine on Rockefeller & Co., must be “going back.” With a gang of loan sharks in his court at Chicago, he said; “We must all admit that porch climbers and burglars are perfect gentlemen compared with these preying persons who are in the salary loan business. It is a question in my mind whether any lawyer will be permitted to practice in my court who continually, from day to day, is in any way affili- ated with these nefarious loan men.” Why any question about it, judge? shysters prey upon the “preying persons,” both shark and shy- ster fattening upon the awful necessities of the poor. Why not put doubt behind you, judge, and clean your honorable court of the vermin? If these so-called lawyers were indeed porch climbers or burglars, would you let them infest your court? Certainly not. Let us tell you right here, judge, that the honorable pro- fession ofthe law is fast becoming a horrible stench in the nostrils of justice-tloving people of all colors, breeds, vocations and conditions of life, and that there could be nothing better for the law than to have honest judges whip from the halls of justice the shysters of the honorable professiion whose practice defending extortion and defeating justice y, judge, the boss of the toughest gambling den in your Chicago district will refuse to let known, habitual crooks play in his place. Are the ethetics of, your honorable profes- sion and honorable court lower than that? The sharks and their lawyers are tearing to pieces men, women and their homes, with your court as the shambles, judge. Is there any question as to what a wise, courageous and just judge should do?

On the other side there were three candidates dividing the anti-Gill votes. Anyhow, our old friend “Hi” still has a fairly good run concealed about his person. Welcome the Latest Doctor We introduce Dr. Karl Kumm, expiorer by profession and said to ee istinguished scientist of London, who has just landed at Los An- nih Dr. Kumm says he has discovered, in the heart of Africa, a tribe of men with the faces of dogs, who speak with a low, guttural bark. Also, tribe of. men who, living in swamps, bop about on one leg, after the ion of storks. Also, men with faces like the beaks of birds. We welcome the doctor to our midst, and hope he'll set the scten- tifle world wild, 4s he promises to, With Mr. Roosevelt too indisposed initiate any mew members into his club, and with Dr, Cook only mak- peeps from the depths of oblivion, things were beginningy .
