THE TRIBUNE WILL GET HIM

THE TRIBUNE WILL GET HIM.
Last Saturday evening as members
of the United Brotherhood Of
Carpenters In Chicago were leaving
a meeting Of that organization we'll
dressed slugger made cowardly and
brutal attack upon reporter for the
Tribune. The organization occupies
an unfavorable position just now be-
cause of the suspicious directed
against It in connection with the bomb
outrages which have stirred Chicago.
In these circumstances 1t is especial
ly incumbent upon it, If in nowise re-
sponsible for the attack upon the
Tribune representative, to exert itself
to the utmost to aid the police in
bringing the slugger to justice. Fail
ure to do this is in effect an acknowl
edgement of sympathy with him, If
not a confession Of completely in the
dastardly deed. Thus far the carpen-
tiers have made no move calculated
to clear their skirts, and there is
ample warrant for strong public SEN
timent against them But they are
reckoning without their host IL they
suppose that their refusal to cooper
ate in bringing the guilty person to
justice will enable him to escape
merited punishment In an editorial
article on the subject the Tribune
gives fair notice to all concerned, as
follows:
"The circumstances of the attack
were such as to leave little doubt
that the offender may easily be
apprehended If the carpenters are dis
posed to clear themselves in the mat
ter. The celebrity with which the COM
pany Of twenty-five or thirty men who
had Just come from the meeting
shuffled about In order to cover the
retreat of the coward who struck the
blow indicates that his identity was
known and that his protection was
deemed essential 1t will not be diff
cult for the officials of the brother
hood to deliver the man to the police
IL the declared intention to assist in
the search for him is sincere.
Whether they do help or not, the
Tribune does not mean to allow this
attack upon one of its reporters,
made when he was attending to his
! Legitimate business, to go unpublished.
1t has good memory and long arm.
1t will never forget the offense, and
will ferret out the offender and put
him where such fellows belong. 1t
has the aid of the police. II that shall
not suffice, there are other agencies

A. e. Kepford, state lecturer on
tuberculosis, is sending letter broad
cast over the state asking counties to
take advantage OF the county hospital
law passed by the last legislature.
The law in question provides for a
special bond election to be called by
the board Of supervisors when 200
residents of the county petition for
a county hospital to be built with
the proceeds of a bond issue, for
which special tax of not 70 exceed
mills shall be levied. Attached TO
the statute is section which makes
1t possible for any county to establish,
sanitarium for consumptives which
may be either independent or de-
partment of general hospital. 1t is
this provision of the new law to
which Mr.. Kepford calls particular
attention

THE FUTURE OF THE RIVER.


On the heels Of the announcement
that certain New York steamship in
terests are going to establish line
OF vessels between New York City and
st. Louis, comes the further announce
ment that Captain Sims is or3aniz-
ing boat line between st. Louis md
St. Paul and that associated with him
are certain interests In the cities
along the river. Captain Sims states
that he is going to try to regain for
the Mississippi some Of the prestige
1t formerly enjoyed as commercial
highway. This welcome announce
ment prompts the Rock Island Union
to say:
There is not now, and there never
has been, any question about the fu-
ture OF the Mississippi river. There
was time when it was largely used
for the transportation of products,
farm and commercial. Those were the
days before the railway-wh Chi
cago became the market for this
1 western trade With the increase Of
population along the river, the growth
of cities and towns, there will be
la constantly increasing demand for
water transportation. The Ohio river
| is today filled with boats and barges
and the Mississippi below the mouth
OF the Ohio is carrying large traffic.
But on the upper river there Is little
being done except In passenger traf1c,
for pleasure. and short line packets.
But as the river towns grow the com
merce between them will increase.
There will be demand for more &C
ltual commerce between st. Paul and
st. Louis and between st. Louis and
the Gulf.
while the proposed lines may be
premature and we hope they are not
the time is coming for the establish,
ment of such packets and the pro

river valley

In his sermon last Sunday Bishop
johnson Of the San Antonio diocese Of
the Episcopal church came out in
favor of local option as against state
wide prohibition He asserted that
both the prohibitionists and the sa-
loon keepers had gone to extremes in
the present contention and that the
sensible people should take the mid
die course of regulation and avoid
radical laws. His action has aroused
a storm of protest in the anti-saloon
league and among the Prohibitionists.

is quoted as saying that outside of his

WHY 1T Is HAPPY.

The Tribune is jubilant today be-
cause Of the reported failure Of the
movement for citizens ticket IN the
fan election And its mirth is easily
accounted for. The Citizens movement
Is the only threatening cloud on IL
horizon. 1t fears the Citizens move
ment because it knows that some OF
the american" voters would gladly
embrace the opportunity of leaving the
marty ranks In this election, for good
independent ticket 1t is correspond

the city. for the third time, by the
gang for which II speaks. II mfy be,
however, that the jubilation Is pfema-
ture. The people have not yet spoken
on the subject.
with some the question of party
loyalty is paramount. and that is "a
virtue of no mean value. But party
loyalty should prompt the adoption Of
any honorable measure by which a
common enemy can be routed. And Il
this cannot be done without co-opera-
ton, party loyalty demands co-opera-
ton. 1t would be queer patriotism that
would refuse an honorable alliance
with neighboring nation for the pur-
pose OF resisting an invading foe. II Is
as peculiar party loyalty that refuses
cooperation with other parties when
that is the only way Of defeating a
common enemy.
Ex-President Roosevelt. in one OF his
addresses, said.
'rhe worst evils that affect our local
government arises from and are the in
evitable results OF the mixing up OF city
affairs with party politics of the nation
and state. The lines upon which ma
tional parties divide have no necessary
connection with the business Of the
city. Such connections open the way
90 countless schemes Of public plumber
and civic corruption"
We recommend this TO tho considera-
ton OF every voter Of this City.
