Why WAS WILKERsoN DROPPED ! /


it's true. The gist Of it is that Dis
trict Attorney Wilkerson got the hook
because he was getting too busy in
his present case against Big Business
There are several things that boil
ster up this rumor. A few weeks ago
an outraged public stood up and de-
manded that, the United States gov
eminent find out if there had been
any justif2ble reason for the seri-
Gus increase in the cost of living.
The main fight was centered in
Chicago. because Chicago is the cen
ter of the food hogs. The situation
was critical Even reactionary news
papers had to take up the campaign
against Big Business Because tha
people had spoken and their voice
was loud and clear.
WilkeTson woke up othe situation.
He started an immediate probe. Evil
dence was obtained that was to be
presented to the grand jury. For once
it looked as though it would be no
joke probe of the beef barons.
Then Gpe day the packers sent a
message to Sen. Jim Ham Lewis. 1t
was very apparent squeel against
the way the food hogs were being
handled in Chicago.
The letter was brought to Lewis
by Luther Walter, a corporation law
yer, who appears to represent the beef
trust in Washington.
Then something surprising happen
ed. Lewis had Wilkerson yanked and
Charlie ST. Clyne, a states representa-
tive from Aurora and one of the men
who helped put Lewis over, was nam
ed his successor.
1t is said of Clyne that he had had |
no federal court experience. The |
present case demands a man with
experience and with few political con-
nections. Because the pull is going
to be a strong one.

Max Weber, who lends money to

charged with attempting to defraud
the city.
Fire Captain Andrew Gillespie bor-

after paying $56.74, he still owed

account. Weber then attempted to

indication of patriotism everywhere, and
the best young men threw aside their

no fear MS to the outcome, Of the con-
ilict among the English people. They
have not the slightest idea that Germany

Dr. Rees said that there was such
strict censorship over the English press
that he finds Americans are better in
formed regarding the progress of the war
than the people of London.

therefore. greatly pleased 10 have the
opportunity of studying them az first
hand while supplying the First Preshy-
terrain Church during the summer The
following facts specially impressed me:
"First-Billy sunday had made it easy
to talk about rri-.ou. Months after tho
campaign one could approach the ques-
ton of personal religion, via the Billy
Sunday route with almost any one, and
almost anywhere The dinner tables Of
rich and poor al. ke, the stores and Of
fees, the hotels ana restaurants, the
street cars and trains, the mines them
selves, all seemed 10 offer open doors
into the religious world. II was as easy
10 talk religion as 20 talk war and even
the war itself could not force out the
greater interest.
''second.-Bu.y Sunday had electrified
the churches and their members
Churches that almost. If not quite had
closed their doors previous summers,
We're not only open. but we'll attended.

had grown % a membership Of more than

20 TO 90 The church congregations We're
phenomenal. The spirit all through the
