"Stuff sausages, not geese!" seems to be the message of the Chicago City Council, a quaint attitude in the city which wasn't it Carl Sandburg called the "Hog Butcher of the World", and Upton Sinclair revealed the "horrors" of all that slaughtering down at the Stockyards?

I'm sure Mayor Daley (the senior departed one of 1968 fame) is a'rolling in his crypt at the swinish level to which the local council persons have allowed themselves to descend. Mrs. O'Leary's famous cow obviously was a more positve contributor to local improvements than any of the current Council-nebbishes, "brats" without the "wurst", "furters" without "frank"ness, "kiel" with no "base" on which to stand.
