Town Extension

At special meeting Of the City
Council Of this city, held last
week. the corpo ate limits were
extended south east ward far
enough to include the home of
Mr.. Il. $. Mcmahon within the
new city limits
Neither the City Council, nor
its official organ, deemed it expe
dicnt TO comment upon the act,
The "dear people and the hum
bic tax payer have neither right
to question, noI privilege of know
ing why this was done.
/ TO question the advlsability of
the step is impairment NEEDLE
sOmencss.
Usually when city extends it's
limits it is u matter of civic pride
and much is made of the act
Why this reliccnce' The city
official Journal certainly had the
opportunity for Il "scoop' in so
far az the news item is concerned.
Bnt, some how, il failed to profit
its chance, allowing the fact to
find only such publicity as 1t
might gain by publication in the
official proceedings of the council.
We fail to see the advantage OF
the act to the general taxpayer.
1t is of common report that the
city fathers have asked Il con
tractor for an estimate for extend
ing the water mans to the new
eastern limits. If this be true, II
looks somewhat like special
privilege, when we consider that
there are Othere sections where
the the taxpayers have been pa
tientIy waiting and paying for
the past four years for such bene
fits.
Is there any other bug under
the chip 1t is suspected that
there is, and the next move will
probably reveal the motive.

Politics and Industry

The team that has hitherto been
harnesscd to the destincs of the
south was well matched and pulled
together under all conditions and
with all kinds of a load, and in
consequence no hill was too steep
nor mirc too deep to stay the car
of Southern Progress to which 1t
was attached. That team had
Politics for the lead horse, with
Industry at the wheel under the
saddle
Recently there has arisen Il ten
dcncy of this team TO balk and
pull apart. The lead horse has
suddenly developed i disposition
to bite and kick his mate until
there is danger that the ear will
come To II standstill unless their
old-timc efficiency can be restored
It is of vital Importance that the
causes of this badness be asrer
tanned and renewed
Perhaps the lea horse may
have been pasturing with Il brnn
cho, and thus acquired some OF
the traits Of that western species,
or he may have had an overfred
of populislic fodder that has
spoiled his digestion for golden
corn, but be the cause what they
may, this tendency must be cured
and cured at once if the develop.
mcnt OF the south is to go for
ward as IT should.
Similc aside. here is need that
the insane tendency which our
politicians are exhibiting against
capital and corporations, whereby
unjust and discriminating burdens
are sought to be placed upon them,
shall be corrected. There must
be perfect accord between our pc
litical leaders and our captains of
industry.
The industries Of the south are
the great arteries through which
flow the life blood Of all our peO.
pie, and no politician or party
should ever hope for, much less
receive. the suffrage of southern
voters unless on II platform of
absolute justice to our industries,

Dear Sir: But few of The men

know u good deal, not only about
Devoe but the rest; we see that
they do We buy every pant,

Our agent finds out all about it.
When we know what a paint is
made of, we know how it will act;
we know how far II goes, and how
long it wears.
Devoe is the standards; call it

But the men, who sell them,

know what the maker tells them.
That is: they know that he tells

the more comfortable they are.

nesses are Heard.
1Bv the Associated Press

Chicago, March 22.-The special
grand jury to investigate the so-called
'.beef trust was completed today. A.
j. Hoffman, of Mendoza, Ills, was
designated by the court as foreman
of the jury. District Judge j. Otis
Humphrey charged the jury to pre-
sent no one from envy, hatred or mall
ice, nor to leave any one unpresented
for fear, favor, affection, reward or
hope of reward
The charge to the jurors was deliv-
cred In most impressive manner and
was listened to with deep interest.
Continuing, Judge Humphrey said:
81 call your attention particularly
to the statute which prohibits and
fixes a penalty for combinations in re-
straint of trade, Interstate Commerce
laws and their various branches.
While you are selected to try the guilt
or innocence of the accused, in order
to justify a true bill you will have
such evidence as, If unexplained and
uncontradicted, would satisfy your
minds of the guilt of the accused.
You are not to disclose to any person
or at any time the secrets of your de-
alterations. Reputation is the great
est earthly inheritance. The mere
fact that some@ persons name is be-
fore you, as being accused of crime,
would blacken reputation, even
though you might not return a true
bill. No human being has a right to
know, and you are not to disclose to
any human being. the secrets of your
deliberations. All that shall come to
the light will come through the return
of indictments, If indictments shall be
found. I"
Among the important witnesses who
will appear before the beef trust grand
jury are Miss M. A. Dinoek, private
secretary to J.. Ogden Armour: G. o.
Young. general superintendent of
Swift & Company, and George F. Nor
gan, assistant to Young.
Two witnesses were heard today.

the upper portion of the buildings
were thrown into panic when flames

where the fire started, and it was only
by the greatest good fortune that all
escaped, AS it was, many were more
or less bruised in the crush which
followed the rush down the stairways.
It was believed for a time that many
of the girls had been cut off from
escape on the upper floors, SO quickly
did the flames spread, but all finally
were accounted for. The fire was con-
fined to the three upper stories and
was subdued after about an hours
hard work.

which blocked Broadway and the
other streets in the vicinity. Reserves
from five stations were called before
the police succeeded in forming fire
lines.
