Illinois Federation, doesn't call
spade an agricultural implement. He
strikes from the shoulder and hits
between the eyes. Here's his latest
vigorous letter from Springfield:
THE day of the trial for murder
of Carl E. Person is drawing near
again. This time it will take place
in Lincoln, H., and no more cruel
travesty on justice has ever taken
place in human history.
Twice the emissaTies of predatory
wealth tried, deliberately, and in cold
blood, to murder him. Once in De-
catur, in the dark of the night, they
poUnced upon him from behind, slug
ged him fearfully, beat him into I'M
consciousness and left him for dead.
And, after learning that he had come
to life again, and that he still per
sisted in using his voice and pen in
the interest of down-trodden labor,
his fellow workers and their families
who were on strike against the in
justice and despotic tyranny Of the
Illinois Central Railroad corporation,
once again they determined to try to
murder him and finish their bloody
work.
"And the big brutal wife beaten, the
town bully, chief slugger, scab herder
and strikebreaker, over 200 pounds
of beast, decOyed this boy, Person,
who weighs less than 1876 pounds, to
a place where he lay in ambush ready
to attack him, by telling him over the
phone that he was another man, and
when Person went along the sidewalk
looking for his friend, this degener-
ate throwback to the beast, with
murder in his heart, bounced upon
his victim from behind, like the cow
ardly woUld-be assassins did who
tried to murder him in Decatur.
He struck the boy over the head,
splitting open his scalp, binding him
with blood, then crashed his head
against the concrete sidewalk again
and again, until the crowd tore him

WHAT HAS DEVELOPED THE
 CANNY SCOTSMAN?

The wonderful Scotch! Out of how frugal corner have they proceeded to inherit the earth, l saw Andrew Carnegie's portrait in a gallery that was open, and I saw the Canongate- the very modest dwelling of the re- gent Murry, the diminutive habitation where lived John Knox We got a line from the consul to say we were not suffragettes, and a permit on the strength of it to see Holyrood.
 l wish there could be a report by Dr. FleXner on the Scots and how they came so, and whether they owe thelr great place in the world, and In literature and the hearts of men, to poverty, the Presbyterian religion, whisky, or oatmeal. Certainly they lived in the imagination and good deal on it, having so little else to live on. It is a hard life, but very spirited while it lasts, which, usually, IS not long. It is fine for the health to have enough to eat. and to go dry shod and clothed in cold weather, and To wash and to sleep warm, but it seems not to be particularly good for the spirit. We see such splendid re- suits from poverty, hard fare, and short commons, that you would think it would become the fashion. Not so. Those who embrace it are not admired What we most admire in poverty is it's power to make out of some materials strong people who can beat it, and either get rich or otherwise become glorious and re- spected. But especially we admire those who get rich.
 That is what poverty, combined with strong climate, whisky, oat- meal and religion, did for the Scots It qualified them to get rich, glorious and respected. They seem to have no Franciscan sentiment about pow erty. They think nothing of it, and that is sound opinion, for the fear of it is it's best trait. It's not healthy; it's not pleasant. It makes for short life and short language But it seems to be about as healthy as extreme wealth, which makes for small families, large expectations, and distaste for exertion-E. s. Martin in Scribner's Magazine.

THRILLING WAR FILM
 AT THE REGALE TODAY

In these days when there are wars on practically every continent and when the newspapers are carrying column after column relating to the numerous engagements, interest in such affairs is naturally at fever heat. It was therefore a happy thought when the director of one of the largest ''101 Bison" companies conceived the idea of reproducing in : cidents pertaining to the occupancy of the Philippines and the subiuga- tion of the Filipinos. The Capture of Aguinaldo," a tWo-reei war pie ture was the result and this is to be the feature offering today at the Regale theater, 210-212 East Wash ington street
 Manager Cruckson has recently in augurated a plan of increasing inter- est in his Monday programs by re serving whenever possible his very best offerings for that day. Today S offering is in line with this new plan. 'The Capture of Agunaldo" is a most interesting series of stirring events in the Philippines, faithfully reproduced from authentic accounts aided by officers and civilians who were either in the engagements or were eye witnesses. The program carries two other films, King Bag gott in "Notoriety,' an Imp drama of exceptional merit, and a Frontier comedy. Slim to the Rescue"
 Beginning October l, Manager Cruckson will begin the presentation of bookings arranged by the Univer- sal headquarters in Los Angeles, es- peclally for the Phoenix house. This means that an even higher grade of pictures, and more careful and ex- tended selection will be provided fo1 the Regale. There will be the very best Universal features, including nigh class dramas, educational. con- edy and adventure. Ford Sterlina will be seen in his world famous comedies at least once a week. This means that the Regale hereafter will be on par with the very best hous- es on the Pacific coast and tha, Phoenix will be supplied with frs; runs and late releases with the same consideration as are the larger hous. es of the big cities
