Years ago The Bee made a vigorous
fight on the Burlington Relief depart
ment as a cleverly devised scheme to
deprive employees of their right to
compensation for injuries sustained in
the line of service and succeeded in
cutting of some of the most vicious
features, especially its compulsory re-
quirements. Since then the Burling-
ton Relief department has been kept
carefully in the background, but Is
now suddenly projected again to pre-
vent the legislature from enacting an
employers liability law. The plainly
apparent forcing of employees to come
to the front for the railroads under
pretense of protecting their interest in
the relief funds may make 1t pertinent
for the Legislature to inquire whether
the relief scheme is really voluntary
and whether or not discrimination is
practiced against those who refuse to
Join.

PLAYING TO THE GALLERY.
Chicago Record-Herald.

We scoff at the man who is playing
To the gallery day after day;
We sneer at the glib politician
Who starts after Office that way.
We hear him addressing "the peepul,"
And we turn from the scene In disgust,
But the gallery whoops and elects him,
And In him reposes its trust
We laugh at the best selling novel,
We smile at the tawdry romance,
But the gallery gladly accepts them
And give to our books not a glance.
We merely exc out an existence,
While he who produces the trash
Is placidly living In splendor
And calmly securing the cash.
The player has learned that he triumphn
II the gallery deigns to applaud,
And he knows that he fails If his acting
Has not stirred the heart Of the god.
We n1adly go chasing the rainbow
And babble of art, in our pride,
When the ones who are steadily pleasing
The galleries push us aside.

GIRL OF MANY TROTHS
WE'D TO PROSECUTOR

Philadelphia, May 28.--Arm in arm,
past forgiven, all charges withdrawr
and all differences happily adjusted
Miss Katie KRIS and Charles Miller
left Magistrate Boyle's court yesterday
morning to board train for Whining
ton and be married.
Miller was the principal witness yes
terday morning at the hearing Of Sam
Lux, the employment agency pro-
prietor. and the KRIS woman, who were
arrested Monday by Detective Edward
Bryant on a charge of conspiracy.
Miller, in his affidavit when procur-
ing the warrant, declared that Lux had
taken money from him, promising at
the same time that Katie would be his
wife. Katie, when the day came, re-
fused. Investigation showed that Mil
Ter was not the only young man who
had been fooled in the same way, and
arrests were made.
Until the hearing yesterday morning
Miller had not seen his whiloln sweet
heart for several weeks. When they
met in the court room 1t was evident,
from covert glances that passed be-
tween them, that the old feeling of love
was not wholly dead, and that 1t would
require but little encouragement to fan
the little spark into it's old flame.
Accordingly, the lawyers for the de-
Tense and prosecution got together, and
Detective Bryant took Miller and Miss
KRIS into a corner and talked earnestly
to them for several minutes.
When he was through both were cry
ing, but smiling through their tears
and, after shaking hands all round, the
trio left the court room.

PRIESTS BODY LEFT
AS RENT SECURITY

New York, May 30.-The murdered
body Of Rev. Father Kaspar, of the
Armenian Apostolic church, of Hobo
ken, N. j., has been found in a trunk
left as security for their room rent
by two Greeks who three weeks ago
engaged the apartment Of Mrs. Henry
Sherer, at 333 West Thirty seventh
street.
The police think 1t possible that the
body was shipped here by express
from Chicago and the authorities of
that city have been asked to follow
one clew, based on a meal ticket also
found in the trunk. This ticket was
issued by a restaurant at 1922 Hal
sted street, West Pullman, and writ
ten in ink across 1t was the firm name,
IS. Ermoylan Bros"
A Chicago dispatch says that at the
West Pullman address, 1920 Halsted
street, two Armenians conducted res
taurant until five months ago under
the name Of IS. Ermoylan Bros"
The Chicago police learned that
about the time the Ermoylans closed
out their business an expressman, al
so an Armenian, whose name they
withheld, hauled trunk answering the
description of that found in the board
ing house, from the restaurant to a
railway station. 1t bore New York
address, according to the police.
The police think the motive for the
muruer was robbery.
