MOLOCH AND MAMMOrj
Crimes ReTled In Chicago That Would

, tnry UldeThalr UaadaU 8 ha ma
The civic federation in Chicago
started an investigation in the "Le
vee District" which was taken up by
the city council and is being pushed
with visor. The council committee is
horrified at what they have discovered.
They have before them the statement
that young girls and boys are stolen,
sold into slavery, stripped naked and
held prisoners in rooms until they
have been led to lives of shame and
crime.
The traffic, according to the infor
mation in the hands of the committee,
has existed for years, and is hidden
beneath the slime and corruption of
the levee district so deeply that prose
cution is difficult.
Several high police officials are in
volved, as well as the officers on the
beat, who winked at the crime and the
system by which tribute is levied upon
Abandoned women and criminals of
flark Chicago.
One of the members of the investi
gating committee said he had heard
.hings that would bring tears to a
rock. , Ho declared that, he had
traveled all over Europe,
ana from a criminal standpoint had
never seen anything to equal the con
ditions which every member of the
committee now knows to exist under
I'Olice protection.
The ignorance of that member of
the Chicago. city council results from
the fact that he is not a- reader of
The Independent. A year or two ago
that whole matter was gone into in
these columns and . the manner in
which the police worked every city
in the United States minutely de
scibed. There are often comments
upon the absolute Ignorance of the
eastern voters and managers of the
republican party concerning economic
questions. But that is not the only
thing to which their ignorance ex
tends. They are as blind as bats to
the conditions that immediately sur
round them. Because a man wears
good clothes or knows how to dis
count a not, is iio evidence that he is
not an ignoramus.
He Will Stick
Editor IndeDendent: I was an earn
est worker in the farmers' alliance for
over six years before the birth of the
nponle'a nartv (in your state), hence,
1 was ready for the party before it
existed.
On its first appearance I embraced
it, and received it with open arms,
and have been true to every trust ever
since. I have never wabbled never
been sid-tracked, never caught on a
pin-hook and never fished with suw
a hook. The principles or tne peo
pie's party are close, akin to, and sec
ond only to pure and undefilcd re
lieion.
' Christ taught the principles of the
ceonle's nartv while he was on earth.
And those principles have never been
more derided, scoffed at, condemned
or spit upon than Christ was. lie
was crucified and so was the people's
nartv.
It was only Christ's body that was
killed just so with the people's party.
Christ's spirit is immortal, and so are
tho nrinciDles of the people's -party.
Christ gave his life's work to the
poor, and so will the people s party.
'The fact is. the people's party is the
hand-maiden of Christ's church on
earth. Its principles are pure and
holv and as such must me forever.
The condition of the populist parly
at this tline in this (Llano) county
forcibly reminds me of the parable of
the sower where .the seeds reii, me
consequences, etc. I am confident
that the seeds of populism fell cm
many good and honest hearts and
enranc un and crew at a wonderful
rate, but when the dark clouds began
to lower, and persecution began to
accumulate they began to wither be
cause they did not have much depth
of Bull.
i have been taught that all those
jshfi !! ! saved through Christ
must h am to look to mm. not a a
Keneral, or universal savior, but as
a personal savior. Thus It should be
with us Kind friend in every thine
that affects the public pood; we
should make It a personal mam r and
atity with our convictions.

CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON, OF OHIO. M
"TTTtTTTTITTTTTIITIIiII IllllllllllllillllllliJ
TTnn. David Meektann (swell known, not onlv in his'own State but throughout
AmpricA. Me boffin hla political career bv acrvinir four consecutive terms as
Mayor of the town in which he lives, during which time he became widely known
as the founder of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected to the
Fifty-flfth Congress by a very large majority, and Is the acknowledged leader of
his party in his section of the State. .
Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman.
Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only uncon
quered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal
enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue, and hcldictatcd the following letter
to Dr. liar tman as tho result:
have used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly
benefited thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encour
aged to believe that if I use it a short time longer I will be fully
able to eradicate the disease of thirty years' standlng."-David
Meekison, ex-Member of Congress.
Over fifty members of Congress endorse Peruna as a catarrhal tonic. Men of
prominence the world over praise Peruna.
ATONIC is a medicine that gives
tone to some part of the system.
There are different kinds of tonics, but
the tonic most needed in this country, '
where catarrh is so prevalent, Is a tonio
that operates on the mucous membranes.
Peruna is a tonic to the mucous mem
branes of the whole bod . It gives tone
to the capillary circulation which con
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Peruna Is a specific in its operation
upon the mucous membrane. It is a
tonic that strikes at the root of all ca
tarrhal affections. It gives tone to the
minute blood vessels and the terminal
nerve fibres. Catarrh cannot exL t long
whrre Peruna is used intelligently.
Peruna seeks out catarrh in all the hid
den parts of the body.'
A. M. Ikerd, an employe of the C. B.
fc Q. It. It., West Burlington, la., writes :
"I had catarrh of tho stomach and
small intestines for a number of years.
1 went to a number of doctors, and got
no relief. Finally one of my doctors
sent mo to Chicago and I met the same
fate. They said they could do nothing
for me, that I had cancer of the stomach,
and there was no cure. I almost thought
the same, for my breath was something
awful. I could hardly stand it, it was
so offensive. I could not eat anything
without great misery, and 1 gradually
grow worse.
"Finally I got one of your books, and
concluded I would try Peruna, and thank
Clod, I found a relief and a cure for that
dreadful disease. I took five bottles of
Peruna and two of Manalin, and I now
feel like a new man. There is nothing
better than Peruna, and I keep a bottle
in my house all the time." A. M. Ikerd.
Catarrh of the stomach is usually
called dyspepsia. Catarrhal dyspepsia
cannot be cured by pepsin powders or
any.. other temporary relief. The only
cure for real dyspepsia is a removal of
the catarrh from the mucous membrane
of the stomach. This Peruna will do.
This Peruna has done thousands and
thousands of times. .
Congressman Botkin, of Kansas, was
cured of catarrh of tho stomach of many
years' standing. Hundreds of other
cases have been reported to us through
unsolicited testimonials. Peruna is the
only internal systemic remedy for ca
tarrh yet devised. Every one afflicted
with catarrh in tho slightest degree
ought to take a course of Peruna.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Ilartman, giving a
full statement of your caso and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.
Address Dr. Ilartman, President of
The Ilartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.
those like you are the very corner
stone of this won't-stick business; let
every one make it a personal matter
and say that I for one will stick, and
jou will hear no more of this won't
stick business."
I hope that the readers of this little
article (if it is ever read) will look
into this won't stick business much
further, broader and deeper than I
can write It. I can say for one that
1 will stick if all others slip, stumble
tmd fall. I never will Imitate the old
sow, or tho dog. J. D. CADY.
