Precursor of many hundred stories

lar through the more than twenty
years since its writing. 1t is now is
sued in holiday edition. containing
thirty-two illustrations from photo
graphs and drawings by Clara f. At
wood, twenty-five vigncttcs, a photo
gravure portrait of the author. and an
introduction by Emma f. Brown. "one
secret of the books power. it seems to
me" says Mrs. Brown, lies in the fact
that its talented author is herself
descended from a long line of dis
tinguished Cape Cod people" 1t was
written when its author was only
twonty-three years old, from material
gathered at odd moments through her
association with the quaint peopl" OF
| Cape Cod, and it was so faithful IN
many respects to their many oddities
and encentricities that satisfaction and
| indemnity for injured feelings was
sought in the courts But Mrs. Greene
wrote nothing in malice, and the con-
| troversy redounded more to her credit
! than to the common sense of those who
looked for remedy in legal Judgments.

He has never held office, and the pres

Mr.. NOvak gives out the following
rs the platform upon which he Is max
ing his canvass:
| ! believe In the right OF the people
10, and that the time Is ut hand for.
the ownership and operation Of all
public utilities by the people, including
street railways, gas and electric plants.
l believe that immediate action
should be taken to remove the dan.
gerous railway crossings In our ward.
by requiring the railway companies to
elevate their tracks. particularly the
Illinois Central Railroad. The open.
ing Of the park near Pullman will in
crease traffic across the Illinois Cen.
tal Railway on those streets leading
to and from the park, and thereby ex-
pose the lives Of many women and
children to danger. Many lives have
been lost on these crossings In the
past and by reason Of the additional
use of crossings 1t will expose hun.
drcds more.
am opposed to granting any fran.
chises Of public utilities on any terms
which contemplate putting cash into
the general treasury, a form of taxa
tiOn which places the burden Of gov.
crnment upon the working men and
women Of this city. Taxes should rest
upon property, not upon the heads of
men and women: instead Of this taxa.
ton the public should receive n reduc.
ton In rates.
believe in organized labor when
presided over by honest and cOnscien-
tious men, striving to obtain for the
working classes q fair and Just wage
and that this weapon should be used
IN holding the greedy corporations with
vast capital. who have formed work.
Ing combinations and mOnopOlies, from
placing the scale Of wages where a
working man and his children would
be enslaved and thus he deprived OF
earning sufficient means to enable him
to properly care for his family and
educate his children.
If elected, I will work for prompt
action by the City Council, following
the adoption of the Mueller law, for
inaugurating municipal ownership Of
the traction lines.
II elected, ! will vote against any
extension of grants to the present trac-
ton companies except on revocable
license basis.
