tive for the crime, Judge GarrettsOn

THE disclosures now being made charg-
ing conspiracy TO commit deliberate
murder against a Chicago union labor
organization places the organization
involved and all i'll sympathy with 1t far
outside the lines of those entitled III the
slightest to public sympathy or endurance.
If any truth shall be found to attach TO
the LEGGED confession of a business agent
Of a wagon makers union that he parti-
cipated in a conspiracy through which a
non-union workman was attacked and
killed. every guilty participant should be
punished to the full extent OF the law
This country of ours is broad and deep
and there is room within its limits for
differences of opinion on almost all sub
iects save those of legitimate freedom Of
individual action and the Sacredness OF
human life. No organization will be
strong enough to preserve itself from
humiliation in case it is proven to have
had recourse TO criminal conspiracy and
murder to accomplish any of It's purposes.

Dislike for conventions Of all kinds
and wish to be allowed TO live his

ments in Kimbark avenue for the
lonely hut beside the lake.

Born branches of the Illinois legisla-
ture have agreed upon primary election
law which will become law with the
signature OF Governor Dineen. The Hi
nois bill provides for the nomination by
direct vote of only one state officer, the
governor, and includes within It's direct
nominating provisions the congressional
and legislature candidates and also county
and city officers It's hardly such bill
as was contemplated when the Illinois
law making body first assembled. but was
agreed upon as a compromise satisfactory
to all elements of the Republican party of
that state. The Democratic members of
