THIRD TRIAL OF
CLARENCE BARROW
Confident and Eager for Last Stand
Before the Bar on Charge OF
Jury Brlbing.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 81
Though worn with the fatigue and
anxiety of two gruelling trials, Clar-
ence barrow was confident and eager
for the beginning of the third trial on
charges of jury bribing, set here for
today. During the months that these
cases have been pending, the labor
attorney has watched every move,
his wife standing by to give encour-
agement and comfort and showing far
more concern than he. That this
trial, following two virtual defeats of
the states effort to send the attorney
to prison, would be even more fiercely
fought than the others, has been free
ly predicted since March 8, when the
second jury disagreed and was dis
charged. District Attorney Freder-
icks denied vigorously that this dis
agreement marked the end, even de-

keokuk Should Respond.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Heretofore in time of disaster in
other parts of this country, Keokuk
has always been one of the first to
respond to the appeal for help. The
terrible loss of life and property in
Ohio and Indiana last week has
brought to many cities the call for
assistance but Keokuk has not Of
fered any aid To my mind this is a
matter of civic pride and an effort
should be made by local officials and
citizens to render some assistance
The fact that of the forty thousand or
more sufferers from the conditions in
the two horror stricken states, about
twenty thousands of them will need
assistance for an indefinite period,
should awaken the sympathy of Keo-
kukians and compel them to do their

The action could well be afforded by
all other lodges and organizations. A
subscription of twenty-five or fifty
dollars from each of the Keokuk
lodges would go a long way in caring
for some OF the needy in the storm

instance of that kind of stalwart Re-

personal ambition to party good. In
the belief that the interests of the
party will be thereby conserved, this

not enter the Third district primary
contest, in case Hon. Hannibal Hamlin
of Ellsworth is a candidate, pledgins
his unqualified support in that event,

Should Mr.. Hamlin decide not to en-
ter the primaries, the Journal UNDER

In this connection, the Journal would

New EnnIand's Dead.

New England's dead! New England
dead.
On every hill they lie;
TN every neld OF stllte, made red
BY bloody victory.
Each valley. where the battle poured
Its red and awful tide,
Beheld the brave New England sword
With slaughter deeply dyed.
Their bones are ON the Northern hill
And on the southern plain.
BY brook and river, lake and rill,
And by the roaring main.
The land is holy where they fought
And holy where they fell.
For by their blood the land was bought
The land they loved so Well
Then glory to that valiant band.
The honored saviors of the land.
Oh few and weak their numbers We're,
\ handful of brave men:
But 10 their God they gave their prayer
And rushed to battle then.
The God of battles heard their cry
And sent To them the victory.
They left the ploushshare IN the mould,
Their flocks and herds without a fold,
The sickleS in the unShorn grain,
Tie corn. haif-garnered, on the plain,
And mustered in their simple dress,
For WRONGS 10 seek a stern redress,
To right those wrongs, come veal, CONT
To perish, or o'ercome their foe.
And where are We. O fearless men?
And where are We today?
] eall--the hills reply again.
That We have passed away.
That on old Bunker's lonely height
In Trenton and in Monmouth ground
me grass grows green. the harvest
bright above each soldiers mound
The bugle's wi and war-like blast
Shall muster them no more.
An army now might thunder past
And they heed not lis roar
The starry flag meath which they fought
In many Il bloody day,
From their old graves shall rouse them
not,
For they have passed away.
