could not use the army to operate mines
with imported labor; that II they and
other mine owners would agree not to Inn
port labor into the State and would EN-.
ploy bona-fide citizens of our State,
would give them all the protection that
is guaranteed under the law, II 1t took
the entire quota of the National Guard
to do so.'
Here is the governor of State practi-
cally telling the citizens Of his State
that unless they conduct their business in
way that meets with his personal
approval they cannot have the protection
which the laws of the State guarantee to
them. He admits that there is no law
that would authorize him to keep the
miners out of the State, but in order to
give Illinois laborers ''shade the best of
it," he refuses to take any precautions
whatever to prevent the shooting of the
imported miners. He was never asked to
use the army to operate mines with, he
was simply asked by a civil officer of the
State to furnish him with sufficient
defiance of law were threatening to re-
sort to violence to keep men from working
whose right to labor was as clear as their
own, from carrying out their threats. In
short he was asked to assist in the On.
forcement of the law of the State and the
preservation of the peace He deliberate
ly refused, riot followed, and twelve
men were killed. The true explanation of
his performance is we suppose, that he
was catering for the votes of organized
labor. In another part of the interview
he sets up in extenuation of his refusal to
do his duty the claim that the laborers
that were to be brought in were An unde-
sirable class, but this was evidently film
sy pretense. The true reason was that he
was after the labor vote.

is getting in good work To haul down
the flag when it has been raised over ter
ritory that we cannot keep without being
false to the pledges we made at the begin

the intention of the operators to import

and being informed that it was, he says
he made this reply:
"Whi!e it is true there is no law that
would authorize the governor to keep
them (the miners) out of the State, yet
at the same time l did not feel it my
duty as the governor of Illinois to use the

An Incident of His Portland Visit in
1924

To the Editor of the Press:
The following incident in connection
in 1924 is related by Miss Ruth G. Rich,
a Maine woman, whose Eome was near
Portland and who is now teacher In
the Dwight school, Boston:
This is the picture which comes to me
as I try to recall the story: A driving
snowstorm without. Within a big fire
roaring up the huge chimney. the hearth
closely winged and freshly wiped up,
the heavy, iron andirons just rubbed over
with bacon srind, and SO, beautifully
black; my mother putting on clean
apron preparatory to converting into
yarn the large bundle of rolls which had
been warming on the spinning wheel
since the early morning. We children are
grouped about, my older sisters knitting,
my brother whittling, and l trying to-,
with a very dull knife.
My mother always began by telling us
that the school children had known for
some weeks that the distinguished for
ejener was coming to Portland; that the
school girls were to wear white dresses
with blue sashes, and that many OF them,
she among the others, were having new
dresses made; that the school boys were
to wear their Biographies suspended IN
front by ribbon, also blue, quite like
breast plate; and that all of them were
to march. The blue sash was her first
really nice ribbon, and great was her
delight when she found that after the
bow was tied the ends reached to the
bottom of her short skirt
At last the very morning came and the
day was fine. The children gathered
early at their respective school houses and
,vere arranpad in line by tWoS. A few
of the boys received on the head, hard
raps from the knuckles of their teachers,
for having the wrong cover of the geog-
raphy turned out. The one to be shown
bore picture of the world, and was TO
indicate. to the great man, that all the
world welcomed him.
Well, the children marched and some
where on the route my mother saw
Lafayette walking. She described him
rs . venerable looking man, with
squirrel" cheeks, and lace falling over
the hands.

SIDEWALK ON SPRUCE STREET.
70 the Editor Of the Press:

hope the city government will come
up today and see the new sidewalk they
have built on the continuation of Spruce
street. 1t is work of art, and it will
be a pity to have a rainstorm wash 1t
away before they have chance to see it.
This part of Spruce street is used con
stantly by the city and there is no reason
why 1t shouldInot have as good sidewalk
as any street in the city. If the property
owners were not willing to pay theil
part of the expense OF proper sidewalk
il would have been much better to lei
the old one remain, for certainly it was
an Improvement on this strange cons truc-
ton, and would have saved the city a
dollar and a half. perhaps, for next years
