It i>) a region of illiteracy, blatant self-nghteomness, cruelty, and violence. Until it is improved by the invasion of better blood and bdtcer ideas it will remain a re proach and a danger to tne Ameri can Republic.” Is Chicago Jn a position to throw stones! Has the Windy City nothing ^o learn from the despised South? For Chicago to prate of “ignorance” and violent politicians” is, as certain Vene tian gentleman ance remarked, “hypo crisy against tlie devil.” Can the South match Bath-House John and Hiney Dink?Has the South ever emual ted the Lorimer scandal? Yet Lorimer came from the grfat and good city of Chicago. Chicago has, through Lorimer, brought disgrace upon the politics of a nation; its municipal government has been sordid and corrupt; what did Chicago ever do in a constructive way to advance the political thinking of America or help forward-looking men to better things? Nothing at all; in in the realm of political construction Chicago has been as barren as a stretch alkali desert under a blazing sun. But look at little Galveston, a few years since stricken t>y one of the worst disasters in history; yet setting out, with a courage that tempest and ocean combined could not daunt, not only to build a city impregnable-in face of the wrath of Nature but also to fashion a city government on a new principles, where honesty and efficien cy might come into their own. The one great contribution to the practical art of city government made by the United States since the birth of the nation came out of the South. What has Chicago done for Cook Cpunty, except to debauch its politics? The Illinois metropolis might well take a leaf out of the book of Fort Worth, Tex., which has so stimulated the good roads enthusiasm of Tarrant Co. that that jurisdiction has within two years invested $2,000,000 in improved highways, expended, not according to the methods of pork-parrel politics, so well comprehended in Cook County, but under the personal supervision, with full respcmsibility, of one of the most eminent highway engineers in America Chicago prides herself on her achieve % ments in literature. Atlanta, one- twentieth her size, has given the na tion. Joel Chandler Harris, Henry REGIILL The United States has asked for the recall of Dr. Constantin Theodor, Dumba, -the Austrian ambassador to this government. “The department has instructed Ambassador Penfield at Vienna to deliver to the minister of foreign af fairs the following note: “ ‘Mr. Constantin Dumba, the Aus tro-Hungarian ambassador at Wash ington has admitted that he proposed to his government plans to instigate strikes in American manufscturing plants engaged in the production of munitions of war. * ♦ * * *’ ‘By reason of the admitted pur pose and intent of Dv.
