was that of radicalism.

Why shouldn't the lesson of the Chi.
cago election be taken to heart by every
great city and every small town in this
Republic? If the people of Chicago can
turn the rascals out, the people of New
York can turn the rascals out. the peo-
pie of Philadelphia can turn the rascals
out. Talk about vested rights and char
ters which grant monopolies! Nobody
wants to confiscate property or violate
contracts, no matter how ill-judged
those contracts might have been. But
We say this: Just as private property
was assessed and taken under the prin-
clple of eminent domain, in order that
corporations should construct their rail-
ways, their telegraph lines, their tele-
phone lines, so the same principle of
eminent domain can be APPLIED to return
to the people what was taken away from
the people. Assess these properties at
fair valuation, pay honestly and fully
what they are worth, then take them
over for the public to be operated for
the benefit of the public The law of
eminent domain can be applied to all
sorts Of property, real and personal, the
tangible thing called an acre of ground
and the intangible thing called charter
Consider this Chicago election in the
broad national point of view. How can

Roosevelt, who is still tinkering and

control? How can it give

party. which has nothing in its platform
which can be twisted into a declaration

DUNNE'S VICTORY
The Greatest Municipal Fight for Civic
Honor and Relief From Corpor-
ate Invasion of Human
Rights Ever Waged

Editorial in Brann's Iconoclast for
May):
AS predicted in Our last issue, Judge
Edward T. Dunno was elected mayor OF
Chicago. There is much more in his
election than the triumph of one politi-
cal party over another. It marks a new
epoch i'll municipal government. 1t is
the beginning of a revolution, nation
wide. If charged with being the orig
inal Dunno man." the editor of this
could be convicted by refer
ence to our files. Far back as last No
vember we urged his nomination. We
believed then. as we believe now. that
he was and is the man of the hour.
Dunno is clean and capable, brave and
brilliant The elements of truth, virtue,
justice and honor are so mixed in him
that all the world can stand up and
say Here is man. AS a Judge, he
was just As man he is manly. In
citizenship, model. In politics, true
disciple of Jefferson.
If he makes no serious mistakes, for
him there is path leading onward and
upward to the sun-lit summit of endur-
ing fame. Chicago trusts him The
eyes of nation watch, and with the
whole world expects great things of
him. He will not fail. Confronted with
some vexing problems, he will prove
equal to every emergency. He will be
assailed by the cohorts of organized
greed, but honor is bulwark and can
dor a perfect shield.
The contest which ended in Dunno
election was the greatest municipal fight
for civic honor, and relief from corpor-
ate invasion of human rights ever waged
in this or any other land. The forces of
fraud and fallacy were led by the arro-
CANT and splenetic Harlan, backed by
Wall street minions and millions. He
raved at William R. Hearst, aping the
antics of venomous mad dog. Hearst

it seems had incurred the enmity o1
: Harlan's masters by blocking more pub
lie steals, and doing more than any mar
living OR dead to stop the aggressions OF
organized piracy, and their puppet put
j, in most of his time trying to prejudice
people against Dunno on Hearst's ac-
count. So far as Judge Dunno was con-
cerned, it was a clean, fearless, fair and
open battle for principle, in which right
prevailed and opened wide the gates OF
progress through which the imperial
queen of the commercial world shall
march to lead the procession of An1eri-
can cities through the shining centuries
that are to be- Henceforth Chicago fol-
lows no more. Every man who worked
or voted for Dunno and municipal own
erShip is entitled to his share of credit
for the great victory, but there are four
men who deserve special mention. Judge
Tuey, the grandest old man who ever
graced the judicial ern1ine in his origi-
nal declaration for Dunno delivered the
blow of d Hercules from which the
traction octopus never recovered A. M.
Lawrence, of the Examiner. followed
with the most effective newspaper cam
paign ever conducted in the history of
American politics. But great share Of
the glory belongs to James O'Shaugh-
messy and Clarence S. Darrow But for
the tireless energy, enterprise and Wig
ilance of these four men, Dunno could
not have been either nominated or
elected
Judge Dunne's election not only
makes municipal ownership possible but
certain. Now that there is to be no
more franchise "dickering" street car
will fall over each other to
get Mueller certificates for their prop
erty. secured by first mortgage on the
street car plants, and bottomed on what
amounts to perpetual franchise. Once
naugurated, municipal ownership of
street railways will neve be abandoned ..
\ man who would even suggest that the
water system of Chicago be turned over ,
% private corporation, would be re- i
gardcd as an idiot. Other cities will
follow the example of Chicago and
ownership of public utilities
will soon become the rule and not the
in this country. The dial of
progress can not be turned backward.
The forces of evolution are at work.
They are irresistible. The benefciaries
# natural monopolies can no more turn

THE RISING RIVER,

Red river is rising steadily and "a
many points the danger line has beer
reached At Arthur City. Texas, the
danger line is 27 feet. The guage there
yesterday was I7.4. The danger line al
Fulton is 28 feet. the guage yesterday
was 26.2. At Spring Bank the river
was within fve-tenths of the danger
line At Shreveport the river was 18'o;
danger line 20 feet The present stage OF
the river will flood all low places not
protected by levees or high embank-
ments. The acreage planted in low
lands has been limited by inclement
weather and therefore there is little
to lose, except time, for cropping which
is fast slipping away.

THE SECOND PAYMENT
Mss Clara DriSC0lI Takes Up Another
Note on Alamo Property.

The San Antonio Daily Light of
last Saturday says:
The second annual payment of
$4,000 on the Alamo property was
made at the Alamo National Bank
yesterdaN by Miss Clara Driscoii. ac-
companied by her father, Robert
DriscoIl The total payment was
std.500, there being interest to the
amount of s50e
At the present ratio of payments
there remains four payments to be
made, one during each of the four
ensuing years. In addition there will
also be an annual installment of in
terest.
There has now been a total of
$4,000 paid on the property and of
this amount Miss Driscoli has per-
sonalIy advanced the greater amount.
II Is presumed the first payment on
behalf OF the state will be made di-
rect TO her in order that liquidation
may be made for the money she has
personally advanced in the interest
OF the project.
In passing the Alamo bill at Aus
tin, so enthusiastic were the mem
bers of both houses in the matter
that they purposed including in the
appropriation the interest which will
become due on the debt, Miss Dris~
coll decided however. that the
states donation of the principal
amount was sufficient and she would
see that the interest on this sum
would be paid
Miss Driseoll left for her fathers
ranch yesterday afternoon and will
return TO San Antonio In eight or
ten days. BY that time Miss Driseoll
hopes to take mp the work looking TO
