in the ordinary walks OF lie? Or
why this wide disparity between
employer and employer
Hence the banding together of
private men to protest against acts
of oppression and encroachments
upon their inalienable rights.
They say "a man ought to obey a
law that protects him." But when
that law becomes too grievous to
be obeyed and the yoke too burden
some to bear, is it not justifiable
to shake off that yoke, even by
open resistance? Is it allegiance
for a man to obey such a law or is
it mere pusillanimity? And when
this kind of obedience increases
the burden and makes the chains
more CALLING, is it right to entail
this servility upon future genera
tons? And you, who have taken
the stand of what you believe and
know to be right, about this labor

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT AND
MRS. CHENEY TRACED TO
EUROPE-ON WAY TO
JAPAN.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Frank
Lloyd Wright, whose fame as a de-
signer of original conceptions in
residence buildings, extends to for
eign shores, left his Oak Park resi-
dence early in October, ostensibly
to publish a portfolio of plans in
Berlin. He sailed from New York
and was heard from in the German
capital.
About the time of his departure
Mrs. Edwin II. Cheney, wife of the
president of the Wagner Electric
Manufacturing company of Chi
cago. disappeared from the resi-
dence of a friend in Colorado,
where she had been spending the
summer Efforts to establish the
whereabouts of Mrs. Cheney, guild
ed by circumstances which already
had linked her name and that of
Mr.. Wright in Oak Park society
she had been the companion of the
architect for month in Germany
and probably is with him on the
way to Japan.
In Berlin Wright had apartments
at the Hotel Adlon, where he regis
tered as Frank Lloyd Wright and
wife, Chicago" His business adj
dress there was in care of Ernest
Wasmuth & Co., architects, No. 80
Markgrafen strasse, where he re-
ceived mail for himself, and cable
grams and letters to Mrs. Cheney
from relatives here have been re-
ceived there by her. Neither
Wright nor Mrs. Cheney, who
posed as man and wife, had any
explanation to offer when Mrs
Cheney claimed letters and des
patches in her own name. -Four
days ago they gave up their apart
ments in the Hotel Adlon, leaving
no address, but announced they
were going to Japan.
That Wright is the victim OF a
strange infatuation against which
he has battled for years is the
statement of Mrs. Wright in the
seclusion of her Oak Park resi-
dence surrounded by her children
