which, with the Mississippi river. sur
rounds Cairo. showed fifty-four feet on
the government gauge tonight and it had
rising tendency. The conditions here.
however. are believed to be more favor
able than they have been since the rivers
went above the danger mark.
The breaking of the levees south OF here
has caused a feeling that the river will
soon begin to fall.
Reports from New Madrid. Mo-, said
the water fell three inches there today.
The force Of levee workers around the
city was doubled tonight and 100000
sandbags were distributed around the
levees at convenient places, in readiness
for repairs in case they are needed.
There is not dry acre on the east side
of Mississippi county, Mo-, and the Missis-
sippi river is sweeping through the coun-
try with great violence. while there is dis
tress and restitution rep orted among the
poorer classes of the people. The rail-
roads are making desperate efforts to
open traffic out of Cairo, but it Is thought
it will be more than week before they
can get under way to any extent.

Principles in Contest.

There is far more in this contest than
is involved in the momentary victory OF
any man or any faction. We are now
fighting one phase of the eternal struggle
for right and for justice. The men who
fought for independence, the men who
struggled for the adoption of the Consti-
tuition the men who upheld the Constitu-
ton and Lincoln were all OF them our
spiritual forefathers. and we are treading
in their footsteps and doing in our gener-
alton substantially the kind of work they
did in theirs.
LAS far as we are concerned the battle
is just begun and we shall go on with it
to the end. We hail as our brothers all
who contend in any way for the great
cause of human rights, for the realiza-
ton in measurable manner of the doc
trine of the brotherhood of man. Every
man who fights for the protection of
children from excessive toll. for the pro-
lection of women from working in fac
tories for too long hours. for the pro-
lection in short of the workingman and
his family Is our fellow-worker and we
hail him as such.
Our cause is the cause of the plain
people and it is the cause of social and
industrial justice to be achieved by the
plain people through the reSolute and
conscientious use of all the machinery,
public. private. state and national, gov
ernmenta1 and individual, which is at their
command -

Mr.. Levi reached his establishment yes

business for the day, he found the door

both were deeply dented and the locks
were hammered almost out of shape.
Even SO, the store was open-a new en-

of the walls. An ak with a much-dented
blade. which lay nearby. obviously was
the key to the situation.

way through the wall. having failed In his
efforts to batter down the door or pry
