Union Printers Back
William s. Weir for
County Commission

At a meeting OF more than 100
union printers, held in Labor Temple
Sunday afternoon, It's ayowed pur-
pose being to aid in the campaign of
William S. Weir for County Commits
sioner, j. L. Rodier was selected as
chairman and Earle f. Griggs secre-
tary.
The meeting was addressed briefly
by Mr.. Weir, who outlined his plan OF
campaign and his principles. He
stated that one Of tho urgent matters
now before the Board of County Com
missioners was the treatment of the
convicts, and that he believed a Sc
lection of the right kind of guards,
with some idea of penal philosophy,
would do much toward eliminating
brutality; that the guard who be-
lieved his only duty was to carry q
gun and menace the convicts was a
menace to the whole community, but
that the guard who felt that he was
part of the system which was meant
to cure crime was the right kind Of
guard to put over the unfortunates.
Mr.. Weir was pledged the hearty sup
port of the printers. and Chairman
Rodier announced that a program OF
campaign would be undertaken by the
club at an early date
The club will work in entire sym
pathy with the newly organized La
Dor Legislative League, but will de-
vote its main Cfforts-to the election of
Mr.. Weir.

he was stumbling along in a snow

After restoring his strength suffi-
ciently, as he thought, to reach his
base, 81 miles away, he left the re-
mainder of the contents OF the cache
for the search party which he thought
would be sent out. But so furious
grew the storm that Mawson could
make his way no more than two
miles. So he dragged himself back to
the cache, where the searching party
found him
He has been in poor health ever

Those Of us familiar with the mech

that these financial highwaymen are

{|RIE CONFERENCE GETS
WAY WITH GREAT
TABERNACLE GATHERING

Mr.. Finn presided. and opened the
meeting with touching reference to
DR.. Len G. Broughton, organizer OF
the Atlanta Bible Conference, sixteen
years ago.
There is a presence with us to-
day." said Mr.. Finn, unseen, but
firmly felt" Then he read a cable
message which, by rising vote, he
was authorized by the meeting to send
to the former pastor of the Taber-
nacle, unable to leave London to be
present at the gathering that meant
so much to him. This was the mes
sage:
1--WE greet you; we miss you; we
love you, and we hope to have you
with us next year"
Mr.. Finn then expressed gracefully
the pleasure of the conference in hay
ing Dr. Dickey present in the capaci-
ty of director.
Praises the Speakers.
1--WE know him WELL" he said, "ard
who does know the man so renowned
for his wonderful ability. as proven
by the vast scope and success of his
Winona work."
Mr.. Finn also congratulated the
conference on the fact that, with Ali
ers selected had included "old friends"
of the conference in all except three
instances. The new faces were those
of DR.. Palmer, Dr. Choo and DIR. Sou
per and Mr.. Finn said they already
had made their welcome assured.
DR.. Dickey was introduced and
spoke first of the fame of the At
lanta Bible Conference" which, he
said, had gone abroad as being the
great winter conference" of all the
world.
Well Ordered Affair.

Then DR.. Dickey complimented the
organization and arrangements or the
present meeting.
"All YOU have left me to do" he
said, lis to provide the speakers 1t

DR.. Morgan was the next speaker,

He could have added that he had a

BIC THIEVES IN
FINANCE ARE
FLAYED
BY 3. c. FORBES.

Two millionaire "f1nanciers," promi-
nent in wrecking the once great Rock
Island Railroad system, are expected
to receive the cold shoulder from
Morgan and certain other powerful
bankers.
House cleaning in high finance is
what the movement means. 1t sig
mites the triumph of character over
chicanery, of decency over duplicity.
The gentry who dominated the
Rock Island, after looting it, are out
of place in modern finance. They no
longer fit. They do not harmonic
with reform. They breathe differ
ent atmosphere. Their methods of
milking the public of millions are not
now in favor Neg DO their habits
quite commend them to the latter
day school of bankers. Their names
are not conducive to confidence.
In the highest financial circles as
constituent is privately expressed that
j. P Morgan &c Co. have not dropped
at least one of the pair before now.
His doings have been much discussed
of late-both at Washington and
here. The rupture, it is now said,
will not be long delayed.
Should the Rock Island scandal be
laid bare to the very bones-as it
ought to be-the effect would be dis
tinctly salutary Two or three gem
tlemen who scooped in millions with
out honestly working for them would
find themselves in an extremely un-
comfortable position. If they got
what the public would doubtless de-
mand they would have little oppor-
tunity for some years to perpetrate
any similar finn flaming -unless
they succeeded in bribing warders.
The wrecking of Rock Island was
more brazen than the wrecking of
either the New Haven or the Frisco
systems. AS in all such cases, the
thieving insiders line their own pock-
cts by picking the pockets of the pub
lie. The Rock Island was once a
staunch, profitable property, abund-
antly able to pay regular dividends
There was no excuse, save the Illicit
greed of the tin plate crowd, for
robbing and bankrupting it.
If the kind of ''financiers" who have
wrecked the Rock Island and the
Frisco are allowed to go free, allow
ed to retain their ill-gotten millions,
allowed to mingle financially and So
cially with the best in the land, then
no scoundrel need hesitate to hatch
up some gigantic swindle to extract
a fortune from the pockets of I'M
suspecting investors. Only the
swindle must be on a grand scale.

DR.. Walker Deplores
Drinking by Women

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Dr.
Mary Walker deplored the increase
of drinking among American women
at a lecture before the Sons Of Jona-
dab. The doctor took as her general
topic 1.-THE Evil of Strong Drink
Among Women" and said no woman
could resist the demoralizing effect
of strong drink, and that temperate
mothers meant temperate nation.
