LETS STRIKERS GO.
Court Finds No Evidence of General
Disturbance of Peace.

st. Louis. Dec. 1s.-Forty-two striking
girl garment workers and twenty men
who were arrested in a street disturb
ance last night were released today. The
judge said there was no evidence that
the strikers had caused a general dis
turbance of the peace.
The scene in court was enlivened by a
two-minute demonstration on the part of
the crowd Of men,. women and children.
who yelled derisively at Lou Gallant, the
only witness who appeared to testify
against the strikers. When Gallant said
he had not requested the police to arrest
every one of the 500 men. women and
children who had gathered in front OF a
down town garment factory at closing
time last night the forty-two girls IN
court cried Yes, you did; yes. you did:
two minutes before order could be re-
stored.

course Of honor. we will gain scores OF
better men.
Every cause must have it's Benedict
Arnold but no cause loses by him.
Our need of the hour is organiza-
ton"
In his statement to the delegates
Robins declared: You cannot pour the
new wine Of the economic and social
lie of 1914 into the old party bottles
OF 186O.''
Continuing he said:
I'VE are charged as the representa-
ttves Of $50, 478 voters Of Illinois to
maintain and develop the political en-
tity of the Progressive party as the
instrument of their political will. We
scout all amalgamation schemes for
compromise with either of the old boss
ridden parties. Nothing can prevent
the triumph Of the Progressive party
except a cowardly compromise with
the discredited old party machines for
the sake Of temporary success.
Time for a Change.
"The time Is ripe for a. Progressive
victory in Illinois. The promises of the
national and state administrations are
being compared with their perform
ances and both are being found want
ing. We were promised a tariff bill
that would reduce the cost of living.
We have the tariff bill but the cost OF
living rises while the demand for labor
lessons throughout the land. Already
the bread lines lengthen in every city
and the tramp of the unemployed is
heard in the streets. In this state
We have the highest rate of taxation
In our history and it was imposed by
an administration that made economy
the slogan of its appeal to the viters."
Mr.. Robins placed responsibility for
this situation on both parties. The
bipartisan combine of the Demo-Re-
publican gangsters in the last legisla-
ture defeated the initiative and referen-
dunn, the tax commission bill, the nom
partisan municipal election bill and
the eight hour bill for working wo-
men," he said.
The people are becoming restive un-
der the continued breach of faith. Yet
both the old parties are planning to
be controlled and led by reactionaries
and machine bosses in the approaching
state campaign and now comes Mr..
Taft recommending Senator Root as the
Republican candidate for president in
1916. This suggestion has received en-
couragement from the high priest of the
Republican faith. Where can the peo-
pie look for help except to the Progress
siYe partY?"

You did not show any mercy to
the billions and we'n show none to
you.''

johnson, a laborer attracted by the
shouts of the mob attempted to inter-
fere and were badly beaten. After
the conviction Of Culbertson last
week. which carried only a prison
sentence for life. there was dissatis-
faction expressed because the death
penalty had not been imposed.

the exception eyes twinkled
behind his goggles-"of about hun
dred and fifty thousand lire"
The sullen bTigand whistled.
In the village nearest to the prop
erty they picked up a notary through
whom to effect the purchase.
The little farm was sweet to the
eye, with the deep greens of the figs
and grapes and the sIvery greens of
the olives. Furthermore, there were
roses in the dOor-yard, and the young
and childless widow to whom the
homestead belonged stood among the
roses. She was brown and scarlet,
and her eyes were black and merry.
Yes, yes, she agreed, she would
sell! There was a mortgage on the
place. She intended to pay that off
and have a little over. True, the
place paid. But, Good Lord, she lived
all alone, and she didn't enjoy that
They invited the pretty widow to-
luncheon, and she helped them
spread the cloth under a fir tree that
had thrown shade for five hundred
years. Asabri passed the champagne,
and they all became very merry to-
getheT. Indeed, the sullen brigand
became so merry and happy that he
no longer addressed Asabri respect
fully as "eXcellency," but gratefully
and affectiOnately as my father"
This one became more and more
delighted with the term, until finally
he said:
ct is true, that in a sense I am this
young mans father, since 1 believe
that if l were to advise him to do a
thing he would do it."
THAT is Gods truth" cried the

He shook them by their brown,
gTimy hands, mounted the impatient
Biddy, and was gone blssfully
smiling.
Upon reaching Rome he rode to
his palace and assured Luigi the valet
that all was we'll. Then he bathed,
changed, breakfasted, mapped, and
drove to the Hospital of Our Lady in
Emergencies. He saw the superior
and gave her the leather bag con-
tanning the brigands' savings.

Then he drove to his great banking
house and sent for the cashier.

portable parcels of fifty thousand lire
each"
The next day at ten he left Rome
in a black and beauteous motOrcar,
and drove slowly along the Appian
Way. He had left his mechanic be-
hind. Packed away, he had luncheon
and champagne enough for four; and
he had not forgotten to bring along
the three parcels of money.
