ROWDY CASES
 CONTINUED ONE WEEK

The cases of the state versus Chas. Bailey, Charles Bailey, Jr.. and Will liam Burton were yesterday after noon continued for one week because of the illness of the principal witness. The men are under arrest on three counts each, that of disturbing the peace, assault, and obstructing an of- ,ficer in the discharge of his duty. They were arrested as result of an attempt of Constable Hedburg, of Lenox Heights. to arrest a gang of rowdies on last Thursday evening. These men tried to aid the others in their desire to avert arrest, and in the course of the affair the constable was pretty badly banged up. They were arrested the next day by Sheriff Ellwood and were brought before Judge Wakeman and bound over for trial

A Terrific Change.

Governor Stubs of Kansas, IS
~accidently right for once:
In the whole East there's
been a terrific change in senti-
ment in the last month.
There has been a terrific
change of sentiment. Regret
fully, sadly, a large part Of the
public has parted with a belief
or an illusion. 1t has ceased to
believe in Theodore Roosevelt.
Judging him GENEROUSLY here
tofore, it has thought him, in
spite of much previous evidence
to the contrary, straight for
ward, loyal, a man Of his word.
It is forced to see him furnished
and diminished by his own act,
tangled in a web of equivocations
and subterfuges, false to his
promises, false to a friend. The
square DEAL" SO long a bitter
Jest to his opponents, is now be-
come as bitter a jest to many
of his former partisans.
Private friendship might be
sacrificed to a clear and an i'm
perious public duty.
but here is no refuge for Theo-
dore Roosevelt. For base re.
spects of personal ambition he
seeks to sacrifice not merely 8
friendship, but a hallowed pre-
cedent Of American history, t.
override Washington and Jeffer
son, to grasp the honor or the
infamy which was denied t.
Grant. to make himself Presi
dent again; and who knows hoy
many terms he may have Il
prospect in his exorbitant AM
unregulated megalomanial An
lin his fury to outbid all other
