where only this kind OF work is done.
Each and every separate piece OF the
work was perfect before 1t was placed

best efforts to make the boat a marvel
of perfection.
While in the shop, many other ar.

dence Of Governor Braden's old friend
There Governor Braden, his -four
friends and myself searched them and
found and identified carefully the
money and bill that Dawson had given
them in the hotel. The gags were
then removed from their mouths, and
in the locked library we went to work
on them.
Braden said IT want to get that
child labor bill passed, and I've been
forced to take means like this to do 1t.
You're going to help me pass It in
order to save yourselves from expos

been a couple Of d--n fools, but ]
think can save you and make useful
citizens of you. II can't, can put
you In the penitentiary, where you
won't do any harm for some time.
Now, you are going to give me the
dope on how the legislature has been
bribed by the lobbyists, first. and
after that you are going to vote and
work for that labor bill as If nothing
untoward had happened. Either that
or you are going to the pen. Take
your choice"
We worked over them all that night.
When we were through we had de-
tailed and signed confession of how
they had been bribed, how other legis-
lators had been oribed, and who had
done the work.

we want the fellows who did the brib
ing. You say Goldfarber passed you
the money. All right, you go and cali
Goldfarber to room in the hotel
down there and tell him you need $500
apiece at once. We will pick out the
room for you.'
They did this. They engaged room
and sent for Goldfarber. He came
in, smiling, and they told him what
they wanted,

He was handing over the money
when the two photographers we had
stationed behind openings cut in the

day Braden sent a note to him telling
him that If opposition to the child

photographs would be published. He

"I1l ante $1,000 apiece to you fel-

went on from peep-holes in the next
room. The money that Dawson hand

by all Of US that morning.

had decided that Murray and
Schoenlein would be easier to get
than any of the lobbyists. They were
pair Of ignorant fellows who until
their election as reform representa-
tives had worked as mechanics for a
living. l knew that they were now
enjoying prosperity that would soon
turn their heads. decided to help
the turning.
The two Legislators were staying at
the smartest hotel In the city. Pres
entity there were two stylish young
women staying at the hotel who fat
tered the pair we were after by seek
Ing an introduction. The women
were in the pay of Braden's foxy old
friend. 1t didn't take long to make
the inexperienced Murray and Schoen-
lein fancy that they were a pair Of
kings. They began to buy wine in
the palm room of the hotel. bought a
motor car each, and generally began
to play the parts Of couple Of fools
caught by the attractions of couple
Of clever, smart-looking women.
It doesn't take long for that kind
Of pace to bring out the braggart in
q man, especially IL there Is q good
looking woman to brag to. Within
two weeks our women had heard all
about how Murray and Schoenlein had
been reached They had been given
$4,000 each by Goldfarber in his room
in the little hotel where the lobbyists
hung out.
"And there's lots more where that
came FROM" boosted Murray.
One evening one Of the women
said: There's friend Of ours stop
ping at this hotel who is interested in
a bill for dam across a river up the
state. He said he would like to meet
some representatives who would listen
to reason. He's a millionaire.
Murray and Schoenlein said they
wouldn't mind meeting the friend if it
could be done in secret. 1t was. A
meeting was arranged in room at a
hotel, and they met Dawson, Of the
Burns agency, acting the part of a
millionaire. Dawson had his bill al
ready drawn and showed it to them at
once. It purported to be bold-faced

and schoenIein up to now had been
steadily standing by the governor,
pledging themselves to fight for his
reforms to the last ditch. But the
interviews they gave to my editor
were made Of different stuff. They had
been voting and talking against the
best interests Of the state. They
would stop doing this. The governor
was a headstrong fool, who persisted
in trying to ruin the state in order
to further his own ambitions.
"The bunch has got to them" said
my man, reporting to NE. 81 could see
it in their eyes. They've been taken
care OF by your frieads the lobbyists"
We printed the interview and edito-
rally lauded Murray and Schoenlein
for being courageous enough to do
their duty by the state IN spite Of the
lash Of political boss like the gov
ernor.
Next day Goldfarber came to me
with an editorial which he had written
and which he wanted me to run.
"The Cronkton News will run any.

Have you seen what the governors

reform paper that had just bought,
which bore the headlines:

We laughed heartily over the story
and adjourned to the bar. told

hoped Mr.. Goldrarber would remem-
Der me If he happened to speak to the
advertising manager Of the Union
Milling company.
He certainly did. Next day there
came by telegraph an order for full
page ad to be run daily for month,
and check in full payment for the
same came in the first mail.
To show It's gratitude the Cronkton
News ran laudatory article about
the Union Milling company and about
the men who were at its head. MY
editor made the company look like the
foundation upon which the welfare Of
the state rested and its owners like
unselflsh benefactors of the human
race.
This was kept up until five large
companies were running big ads in
the News and until we had written
them up favorably. was on friendly
terms with the five lobbyists who rep
resented these concerns. They were
the men who really had been running
the state, and obviously they were the
ones who were behind the detection
Of Governor Braden's one-time reform
legislature. If could learn what
they knew about the change of heart
that had come over the representa-
tives after the labor bill had been In
troduced, would have finished my
case.
One day Goldfarber came to my
room and said: Suppose you send
"a man up to interview Murray and
Schoenlein, those celebrated reform
friends of the governor. They might
have something interesting to say"
/ took the hint and wired my editor
to get on the job himself. Murray

Within Mo weeks our women bod heard al abmf how
Murray and ScboeRlen had been reached,

sent him prints Of the photos, too.
Goldfarber took look at them, and
packed up and left the capital-for-
ever.
The threatened opposition to the Ia
Dor bill did not materialize. Various
Legislators were notified that they
were released from their obligations
to the interests. and were at liberty to
vote as they pleased. They voted with
Braden and the bill went through.
A few days after It's passage the
Cronkton News quietly went our of
business. A lot Of people wondered
why; it had seemed to be doing SO
well Of late. Murray and Schoenlein
resigned from the house soon after
the labor bill was passed. They said
that politics was too strenuous for
them.

Lockhart Junction News.

Lockhart Junction, Jan. S.-We
are having some cold weather at
this time. Yesterday, which was
the Sabbath day, was beautiful as
the ground was covered with snow
and the sun shone bright, which
made everything look pretty.
Well, the old year has passed and
gone leaving it's sweets and bitters
behind. Our minds revert back to
our childhood days around the old
home, where we look forward for
Santa Claus as children do today,
and that was happy time as there
were no responsibilities resting on
US. All was peace and joy. Then
grown up to manhood and then
married we were, and then the chill
dren at our home were looking for
Santa Claus and home, sweet home,
as the poet describes: There's no
place like home.
We met q friend in Jonesville
some time ago who lives in Tennes-
see who takes The Union Times and
says he likes to read our letters and
Telephones letters and our letters
are the first thing be reads. We
met another friend in Union who
says write more and often as your
letters makes. me think of our boy
hood days around old home. That
friend used to live in this neighbor-
hood but moved from this commu-
nifty several years ago. Thanks to
you and others who remind us of
writing, but my dear friends it is
much easier to read than it is to
write when news is scarce. Well,
it may be like I heard a good
preacher say in the pulpit not long
ago, that some might say it was
easy to preach and said he might
think he was preaching good ser
mon and then some were ready to
criticize.
To you, Mr.. Editor, 1 will say
when you find space write again for
your letter in last weeks Times was
read and appreciated by this writer.
Now, dear readers and friends, /
will close my letter as it seems to us
not much news, only my thoughts
as being a correspondent to The
Times l would only write these.
could, like the editor, write more
about gone by days, but it would
take up too much space and l will
close hoping l will be able to find
some news by the next time.
Wishing all bright future and a
prosperous year. Moxy.
