ties Just previously the mayor had
made numerous raids on blind tigers,
and had assessed fines ranging from
SIS to $3.50. Also, he, vetoed an or
dinance allowing poolrooms to keep
open Sundays and after 100 p IN. on
week days.
Last Friday morning the vets, to
get revenge, fired the mayors house
while he and his family were in bed,
by pouring kerosene over the back
porch and setting it on fire. The ac-
cidental awakening of an invalid girl
who slept on the open porch, saved
the family.
The murder and arson plotters also
fired the Odd Fellows building and
called the fire department thither, in
order that the mayors house might
burn unmolested.
The mayor openly charges that this
attempt upon his life was made be-
cause of his activity in fighting the
blind pigs and dives of his city. He
spoke regretfully of the loss of his
home, but declared firmly that he
would fight to the last ditch

Highwood, ILL.,, Augast. Because
of his activity in enforcing the law
against the sale of liquor, Joseph Sew
crson, mayor of this village, was made
the object of the wrath of the VETS
expressed in their attempt to burn
him and his family alive.
Highwood formerly was wide-open,
and at the mercy of saloonists. The
legislature made a dry zone around
Fort Sheridan, and thus abolished the
saloons in the village. A few of the
saloonists who were voted out have
continued to sell, by operating blind
tigers. Severson has waged per-
sistent and relentless war against
them His fight against lawlessness
came to a climax when he removed
from office, Marshal Eustis, on the
ground of neglecting his official du-

Will X Recme is a Presbyterian.
He found two members Of his own

notion Of divorcing the church and the
saloon, were not doing just right. w.
II. Lucas, one Of them, signed saloon

application, before the county judge,
Reeme carried his fight against them
up to the general assembly of the
Presbyterian church and won his case
Yesterday Reeme crossed denomin-
ational lines and went after Deacon
Hill. At the close OF the sermon il
the Christian church, Reeme and dn
assistant stood at the church door
and passed out the following card to
the worshippers:
An appeal to all members and true

Senator Gronna Will Speak at Big Jubilee
Convention Of Anti>Saloon League

Lakota N. D., Aug. I3.-Born in
Iowa in 1858, AISLE ]. Gronna, United
States senator from North Dakota,
lived among the Hawkeyes until he
was young man, and then came TO
Gods country. North Dakota has
suited him and he has suited North
Dakota.
This farmer has been in some sort
of office almost as long as he has
lived in this state, for the people have
recognized his worth. The first thing
they did to him was to send him, in
1880, to the state legislature. Then
the people of Lakota made him a
member of the board of education,
and trustee
Folks in his district looked around,
one day, for a good man to send to
Congress. They decided to send
Republican, and AISLE J. Gronna was
the Republican chosen. That was in
1905. In the meantime Senator Mar
tin n. Johnson died, and Congress-
man Gronna was named to go down
to Washington to fill out the unex-
pired term.
In Washington this congressman
and senator has always stood for the
people and against that which was
dishonest and corrupt. When the
blind pig statesmen tried to defeat
the Webb interstate liquor shipment
bill, Senator Gronna was on the right
side, and he voted that way all the
time.
Senator Gronna will attend the b.
ehnial convention Of the Anti-Saloon
League of America, at Columbus, @,
November 1913, and speak ON
Hawaii"

AN EASTERN TRIBUTE
 TO WILLIAM J. BRYAN

"Stand-pattism is dead" said MT. Bryan in his speech at Des Moines. In stating the lesser fact Mir. Bryan omits the greater fact. Not only is stand-pattism dead but Hannaism is dead.
 It was Mark Hanna Republican ism that put the United States gov ernment into partnership with Big Business. It was Mir. Bryan's free silver campaign of 1896 that gave Hanna and Plutocracy their oppor- tunity. In trying to escape the evils of a debased currency the country swung to the other extreme.
 AS a result of the 1896 campaign Washington moved to Wall Street, and Wall Street became the capital of the United States. The government was frankly and cynically admins tered for the profit of privilege. Plu. tocracy became as arrogant and des. potic as slavery. If Wall Street want ed legislation. legislation was enact ed. If Wall Street wanted laws sus, pended. those laws were suspended. If certain government policies meant

dividends for Big Business, those pol icies were adopted. If Wall Street wanted to exploit the resources of the country. those resources were placed at his disposal.
 The very expression. "stand.pat' was coined by Mark Hanna to en, courage the Republican machine to re sist the public demand for honest tariff revision, and it soon became a battle-cry against every assault up on public abuses and public wrongs From the Dingley Act to Dollar Di plomacy, every evil that helped tc bring about the final wreck of the Republican party had it's origin in the unholy alliance that Hanna establish ed between the government and Wal Street.
 Mir. Bryan can take pardonable pride in the death of stand-pattism He has lived to retrieve the mistakes of his past. His free-silver campaign drove the country to plutocracy, but his battle for Progressive Democracy in 1912 emancipated it. To his eff forts the country owes the nomination of Mir. Wilson for president and the effective realization of the new poll cies that have taken the United States government out of the hands of Wal
