THE Youths Companion" A schoolboy was
on an Accommodate train studying his morn

there was II man crushed and apparently dying.
The engine was fitted one side and threatening
to tOpplc over every instant. The conductor
called for n volunteer 10 20 10 The rescue. Strong

quickly flung himself under the engine and
was hidden from sight by the steam and smoke.

Maj. Sohwarz's Card.

That is quite an interesting card which
Maj. John Schwarz published in the Press
yesterday. It is especially interesting
when considered in connection with politi-
cal happenings in this community during
the last few months. We refer TO it for
one purpose only. and that is to draw at
tention to the fact that the avOwed pur-
pose of the Citizens Club, when 1t was
formed. was to purify county and city pol
itics. We cannot be mistaken that that
was its avowed purpose, because the peo-
pie We're told Of it so often that not few
became suspicious that the purifying bust
ness was not The main business of the
club. Still. there was quite general be-
lief that there was room for purer poll
tics, and the hope was expressed that the
club would be true to its avowed purpose.
We do not know whether it has been
true or not. We do not intend to pass
judgment upon the club. We know moth
ing of its workings or it's intentions. But
what does Major Schwarz say? Is not the
major good authority? Is he not great
and shining light of the club? What bet
ter authority then, relative to it's secret
acts is there than he?
And what does the major say? over his
own signature he says: The very meth
DDS which we have so strongly condemned
we find here within our own club"
This discovery must have caused the
major intense grief. He Joined the club
with intentions of purifying city and
county political affairs, of placing honesty
before money in elections and we can
imagine what shock it must have been to
such a reformer as he processes to be,
chock fun of good intentions and high pur-
poses, to find that he had been deceived,
had been led into giving his name and
influence to an organization that proposes
to use the very methods that he con-
dennis.
But when did the major find out that
the purpose of the club was not what he
thought it was? Was it yesterday or the
day before, or last week or last month?
That is matter of prime Importance. If
yesterday, his admirers can have no fault
to find with him, but If before that date
must he not explain why he was willing
to accept the clubs nomination? Being a
frank man the major should enlighten his
friends on this point.
