Gronlund In Demand.
Union Printer.

Union Printer.
From the invitations that Lau-
renee Gronlund is receiving to
lecture before wealthy men ana
bankers associations there would
seem to be a growing interest
among the rich on the subject OF
socialism. 1t is said he is besieged
with requests to explain to wealthy
audiences the principles which he
advocates. As the exponent OF
socialism Mr.. Gronlund is proba-
bly, the most able OF his school OF
thought in this country. lie pre-
sents his subject free from ooJec-
tional bitterness and class hatred
that is indulged in by the more
radical of his school, and hence
finds willing listeners among peo-
pie that other socialists cannot
directly reach. Mr.. Gronlund un-
derstands the temper OF the
American public, and his purpose
is to educate through calm, dis
passionate arguments in support
of the principles whose applica-
ton to human conditions he be-
lieves to be essential to industrial
prosperity and social happiness.

Under the Australian system of
voting, voters enter a room con-
nected with the polling place, in
which are a desk, pencil, and
tickets, printed under official au-
thority, and bearing the name of
every nominee for the several
Offices. No person is allowed in
this room except the voter. In
order to vote, he takes one of the

those for whom he wishes not to
vote, and takes the ticket to the
election officer. For those who
cannot read, there is special
officer to fix the tickets as the
voters wish. Nobody knows for

The Bald Uxnobbers' Trial

ST. LOUIS, March THE trial of
Dave Walker, chief of the Bald Knob
bers, was resumed at Ozark, Missouri,
yesterday, the two jurymen being suffi-
GENTLY recovered to take their places.
Charley Graves, one of the Knobbers
indicted for the murder of Charles
Green, was the first witness called and
related his first connection with the
organization. This was the first raid
he had been on and when the party ar
rived at VIM. Edens' house he recog-
niZed Dave Walkers voice as one of
those calling Open up, Bald Knob
bers.' This was followed by batter
ing down the doors. A smothered
shot. suppressed screams, then a
fusilade and frantic appeals for mercy.
He then saw Dave Walker carry his
son William from the house, shot in
the thigh, and heard Dave say: why
did you not stop that woman's scream
ing?" Bell replied, 81 would if she
had not pushed my gun aside" Dave
was chief of the knobbers, and on
leaving the place he cautioned all to
say nothing and told each man the wit
ness who was to swear to an alibi in
case of any arrests. The members
of the organization, the only way to get
out was to be lied out by a halter or
shot out with gun"
DIR. Newton testifies to being called
by Dave Walker to attend his sons
wounds, and while caring for him the
boy told him of the murder. In
speaking of it he said there were too
many tenderfeet out that night. If
the party had been of as good stuff as

have got shot. Walker said that in

and held his hands until Green
emptied his pistol and then fixed him.
He also admitted trying to kill one of
the women for unmasking him.
