Under promise of immunity from

from the Joliet penitentiary by Gov
ernor Deneen Eddie" Tate, the "gen.
tleman burglar" admitted that he
helped to blow the school board safe
and stole 5000 pieces of forged scrip

former superintendent of schools, New

Tate said he robbed the safe on the
night of Jan. 6 and that he was assist
ed by Eddie Fay and Patsy Flaherty.
He says $4,000 was paid the. three
men by a prominent Peorian repre-
senting Dougherty.

by Dougherty and his friends and how
1t was carried out. Until he was given
absolute assurance that he had a
chance for freedom he denied that he
was implicated, but insisted that he
knew who did the work.

COURTS INDIRECT CONFLICT
State and Federal Injunctions
in Rate Law Fight.

Kansas City, June 15.-Upon appli-
cation of Attorney General Hadley
Judge Parks, in the circuit court here,
issued orders upon the representa-
tives here of eighteen principal Mis-
souri, railroads compelling them to
obey the 2-cent passenger rate and
the maximum freight rate bills which
went into effect at midnight. This
brings the circuit court into conflict
with the United States district court,
before which the railroads are suing
for an injunction to prevent the state
officials from enforcing these laws.
The effect of the injunction issued
by the state courts will be to compel
the railroads to obey the 2-cent fare
and maximum freight rate laws until
the courts pass upon their validity.
The railroads plan has been to enjoin
the enforcement of the law until the
courts determine their constitutional
ity.
When the case of the railroads was
called before Judge Mcpherson in the
federal court he ordered it postponed
for day. The court said that in the
meantime his order restraining the
state officials from enforcing the acts
in question would continue in effect.
Thus the circuit court and the United
States district court are brought into
direct conflict.

THE DAY WE DESPERATE.

How much of patriotism is there,
do you think, in the present-day
celebration of the Fourth of July?
it not safe to say that not. one in
fifty of those who make the day
deadly and deafening give thought
to the meaning of the OCCASION?
The holiday has become the natal
day of license, not of liberty; selfish
ness, not of patriotism. The indi-
vidual who place dynamite caps on
street car tracks, who fires aIrevolver
who throws giant crackers about is
rot inspired by love of country; for
love of country inculcates respect for
the law, and such a one is law
breaker. Has not the time come to
rehabilitate the law and make it
supreme on that day which once COM
memorated the achieving of our
liberty?
When the Country was small
boy, as it were, and the Fourth of
July fireworks were the amusement
of small boys, and not in large
measure of the criminal element, the
fireCracker was a nuisance but not
menace. But it is no longer noise
making device to amuse the childish;
it has become an instrument of de-
struction ready at the hand of every
one who frets at all times under law
full restraint and SEXES upon July q
as the great day when it is permitted
him to main, to kill and to destroy
all in the name of patriotism!
Mayor Busse has acted promptly
and wisely in seeking thus early to
regulate the celebration and to
prohibit fireworks in their most
dangerous forms, but mayor and
police both will be powerless to &C.
complish much unless public senti-
ment and public action cooperate
with them to stamp out lawlessness to
protect life. The sick and the young
are the greatest sufferers on July 4.
The police do all that is possible to
protect the former; it is time the
public-spirited citizens did some
thing to safeguard the latter on the
day of carnage.
