SIXTEEN PAGES.

The Herald and News prints today
a sixteen-page edition devoted large
ly to the day we celebrate. This has
been our custom from time to time
for many years.
We feel that it is well that the
children should know what the day
means.
In celebrating the day and COM
memorating the deeds of our fathers
we do not yield one whit in our al
legiance and loyalty TO the Stars and
Stripes, but we desire that our chill
dren shall have right conception
of the Stars and Bars.
It will not be long before the last
Of those who took active part j
great struggle will have passed be-
yond the river.
We especially appreciate the liber-
al patronage of those merchants
whose advertisements appear today
and ask our readers to give them at
tention for what they say is part of
the edition.
The boys in the office got up the
ads and did the printing in the regu-
lar course and only started on it last
week. And the advertisers pay our
regular rate.
: TO all of these the editor feels
grateful.

THE DLER.

The little monument square
rear of the old court house building
has had the grass moved and a
couple of the trees that stood in the
midst thereof have been cut down
I am told that Mayor Blease cut
these tt ees with his own hands. The
place looks nice and just think how
much better the whole thing would
look if Mayor Blease had just put
that coping around on either side
and in front and a little park was in
grass in the front. And the old bui!I-
: ing had a little attention given it.
Here is another outburst from
"Uncle Eli How easy it is to be
misunderstood. But suppose you
read Uncle Eli first and then you
will understand what I am going to
say unless you just insist on not
. understanding, as I believe some
people do.
Mr.. Idler: see you are still ham
pering on the minds Of the people
about a park. Don't you never get
tired of the same thing? If you don't
the people that are worth while will
soon stop reading your letter FOL
they will know it by heart. You
said in Tuesdays issue that you
wanted to see Mr.. Wood before be
addressed the chamber of commerce
and tell him about your park. II
tell you, you had better not let Mr.
Burton or Mr.. Kinard see him before
you do, they will bring him over tc
Willowbrook, the loveliest spot in
Newberry, right then and there yo,.,

Selfshness, yes, selfshness. What
did you say it meant? You had bet.
ter study it a little yourself. Why
don't you write a letter to heaven
and ask for a special day for East
side to be passed in to avoid the
world If you get an answer at all ]
would be tickled to death to see ii
and I know Mr.. Aull would be glad
to print it for you. What else dc
you call it but selfshness by wanting
Mr.. Wright to give you a special
night (of-night), yes, it will be an
off-night and 7 think you will be off

that effect. Don't you. know Mr..

invitation to Willowbrook, and lie

was, so plain that all the little tots

seventy understood it. The people

but very often my efforts and my
good intentions are not appreciated.
We can all get together at Will
loWbrook and have a park on the
Eastside, too. I am coming over my
self some of these bright moonlight
nights when can see how to get
along. It is a beautiful place. I
passed along there once in the day
time and it must be just lovely at
night when all those lights are on
and the pretty girls are swinging
and see-sawing and skating and
on the rustic bridges.

Of course Newberry is going to
have Y. NJ. G. A. building and the
old court house building could be
made an ideal place and $4,000
would go long way towards max
ing it a convenient and comfortable
building for this purpose. Some
body ought to get busy and formulate
the plans and let the people know
just how it is to be done. The thing
will not take care Of itself. It needs
leader and an organizer. But it
should be remembered that the erec-
ton and equipping of building
means the employment of paid Sec
retary and keeper of the building.
The building will not make a Y. NJ.
G. A. of itself. It takes something
else. Don't forget that in your CAL
culations.
Before I write again Memorial day
will have come and gone. One by
one the ranks are growing thinner
and every year finds some old veter-
an who was present the year before
missing from the roll call. Nearly
half century since we went to battle.
The youngest Of the boys who enlist
ed are the old men now. In years,
if not in spirit. They will soon hold
their last reunion here. Looking
backward it does not seem so long
ago since the grand old days before
the war and yet when we look at the
progress and achievements we mar
vel that so much could be done in so
short time. But even with it all
the world will never see again such
fine type Of civilization as existed
in the old South before the war.
There was then time for study, time
for ease, time for comfort, time to
be chiValrous, in short, time to be a
gentleman. Now everything and
everybody is in hurry to get rich.
Then it was that a mans word was
his bond. Now you must show the
collateral. But I reckon it is all

When was talking about an off,
night at Willowbrook I was not
thinking for a moment that Eastside
would object to being present with
West End. Nobody would have
thought of it, either, but Uncle Eli.
Eastside is about to monopolize the
regular nights, and just wanted to
get Eastside over and let them ex-
perience how it would feel to have a
park. West End is ahead of Eastside
because Eastside has no park. I love
the West End people myself and have
lots of friends over thtere whose good
opinion I appreciate, and it was in
their behalf and as their friend
made the suggestion Bless your life,
West End is all right. I would like
to know who in this town works
any harder than I do and who gets
less for it. l am always trying to
do something to help somebody.

PITTSBURG, NIGHTLY STIRRED BY GRAFT, PLANS
COMMISSION GOVERNMENT AND VICE CLEANUP

Remarkable Charge by Arch
Bribetaker of Universal
Graft in Smoky City
Roosevelt Started the
Great Bribery Upheaval-
To Expose Men High Up
Who Profit by Vice.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-04-15
JULIAN KENNEDY

Capt. Johnny Klein, who for years
distributed the graft among his fell
low councilmen and who confessed
his bribery crimes at the threshold
of the penitentiary. says that the
council system has been responsible
for Pittsburg's corruption. He adj
mits that councils in which he sat
pocketed over 100000 of brides
given by six banks to get the city's
deposits at low rates of interest,
and by the Dallas c. Byers steel
mill to vacate a street which the
Byers concern could use in it's bust
ness. These cases of bribery are
well established, but that the coun-
cilmen have been open for any sort
of money from any source is the
truth of the matter.
Klein says that it was inevitable
that councilmen should fall to
bribery. They are not elected for
their honor, and most of them are
cheap men," he said. THE city
pays these men nothing for their
time, and they have to live, you
know. Those of us who took brides
are no worse than the rich and re-
spectacle business men who passed
us the cash. Why, there's graft
these days in nearly all business.
Ninety per cent of the business peo-

pie of Pittsburg are grafters. It's
the American system
These are the words of a self
confessed thief and can be taken
for what they are worth as showing
the depth of Pittsburg's shame.
Pittsburg's graft system, hand
and glove with the rotten state sys-
TEN, is hOary with age. There have
been sporadic attempts at reform
in late years, but these did not
come to anything The town was
content, apparently
The present upheaval was really
started by Roosevelt, when in 1908
a bank examiner reported to Wash
ington his discovery that the bank
was buying councilmen's votes to
get city deposits at low interest
dates. T. K. stirred certain promi-
nent citizens to action and an in
vestigation brought out the aston
ishing truth that six prominent
banks, with the knowledge and ap-
prevail of their rich and influential
directors, were head over heels
in the business, and one by one,
facing prison and hoping for i'm
munity, councilmen have confessed
their part in the transactions.
w. A. Blakeley, district attorney,
defying the influential bride givers
as well as the vengeful bride takers,
| caught in the laws net, has forced
the prosecutions through the courts.
He has all along declared that he
was after the men higher up, the
| big, respectable fellows, who for
business success have traded in
councilmen and have sold out the
peoples rights.
His biggest victory came when
Capt Johnny Klein, go-between of
councils and business, made a full
| confession. Klein, a picturesque
politician, had fought his prosecu-
ton stubbornly. He declared he
| would never confess. After his con-
viction his brethren in crime failed
to support his family, and sending
for Blakeley he told him the whole
rotten story.
Blakely let down the immunity
bars for councilmen with guilty con-
sciences, and they came in rush
to confess. In "a hours the guilty
stories of II councilmen had been
told to the court, and for week
the confessional continued.
Armed with these confessions
Blakesley says he will get" the full
list of bride giving bankers-the
men higher up. Prior to the Klein
confession the district attorney had
sent VIM. Ramsey, president of the
German National bank, to the peni-
Tertiary for IS months and $1,000
fine and had caused the conviction
of A. A. Vilsack, cashier of the Ger
man National, and had wrung con-
LESSONS from E. H. Jennings, presi-
dent, and Frank Griffin, cashier,
of the Columbia National bank. And
there are two councilmen doing
time and two other convicted.

Now a movement is on to clean
up protected vice. Julian Kennedy.
the famous engineer, is at the head
of party of prominent citizens,
who have employed detectives to
expose the "red light district.
These detectives report that the
vice system is protected by graft
ing politicians. The remarkable
thing about this campaign of res
form is that the reformers take tt
stand that unfortunate women
should not be prosecuted, but that
the owners of real estate rented by
women and the men who patronize
vice are the real responsible cul-
prits and should be shown up. The
plan is to order lewd women out of
town. Those who refuse to go will
be arrested and the men who col
lect rent from them will be called
into court as witnesses. This pub
licity will brighten the other land
lords, who will order tenants of bad
morals to move.
Similar publicity will be visited
on jewels, grocers, wine merchants
and other business men who cater
to such places, selling the fallen
women goods at highest prices and
profiting greatly by the traffic. De-
tectives say that there is a regular
political organization of these kind
of merchants, who use their influ-
ence to protect vice.
