COUNTY HOSPITAL REFUSED
HIM-HE DIED AT HOME
Once again man has been refused
admittance to the County Hospital
and once again the man has died.
Tuesday morning Harold G. Savers
went to the hospital in a pitiable con-
dition. He had heard that this hos
pital was for the people of Chicago
who could not afford to pay for care.
He explained his condition. He
told of the burning pain in his chest.
The doctors looked him over and de-
cided it must be bronchitis.
Sayers was sick unto death. There
was no one at the rooming house
where he lived to take care of him.
He asked the doctor if he could
stay at the County Hospital. Appar-
emily the request was too bold. The
doctor turned him down. He stag
gered from the hospital.
Yesterday the landlady at FOL N.
Dearborn street went to the little
room which was home and hospital
both to Sayers and called him. There
was no answer. Frequent calls with
out response aroused her suspicion.
She forced open the door.
The man who was not sick enough
for the County Hospital to take care
of was lying on the bed. He was dead.
An inquest will be held today. At
the County Hospital the officials say
the hospital was too crowded to adj
NIT Savers.

fathers, in founding this Government did
all that human wisdom could do to avoid the
rocks upon which former democracies and
republics had split.
In some of the ''free States" of the Middle
Ages and of antiquity, the poorer Of the people
was not restrained by any check: therefore,
the ma iority rode rough shod over the rights
of the minority
Whenever this was the case, it followed
naturally that the rich would buy the votes
of the poor and thus corrupt the whole
administration.
In other so-called republics, like that of
Venice, FOR instance too much power was
given TO the fcac, who met in secret, paid no
attention to the real wishes of the people,
and changed the so-called Republic into a
despotlsm ruled by tyrannical Council of
Ten"
All these things were as familiar as the
alphabet to such men as James Madison,
George Mason, Edmund Randolph, Alex
andcr Hamilton, Luther Martin, Richard
Henry Lee and other statesmen who sat
behind closed doors to make your third Fed
eral Constitution--the one that you now live
Mde1.
From The beginning, there was a struggle
in the Conyention between the followers of
Hamilton who detested dcn20crucY, and those
loatbed o7Tst0c1ucy.
Let me again say that when you boil big
words down to simple and short ones, arts
tocracy means Special Privilege enjoyed by
a few at the expense of the many-the few
having seized the reIns Of power and made
claws" which enable them to rob everybody
else.
Democracy is Just the reverse Of this, and
means equal rights, equal chances, the open
road free to all, the law which makes no
difference between one industry and another
the Justice that IS blind and deaf to all dis
tlnctions Of wealth and power, color and sta
ton.
If YOU will read the speech of Senator
Benz. II. Hill, made in the Z. S. Senate and
copied into his "Life' by Benz. IT, Hill ,Jr,
page 594 ct seq, YOU will get perhaps the fullest
ceareat idea of how your forefather8 invented
q system Of "checl5s and balances" to bride
the democratic majority On the one hand, and
the Grasplng arist0cracy upon the other
1t is great speech, free from flourish,
noisy rhetoric, and attempts to be eloquent.
1t is such an Grafton as Marcus Aurelius
might have made to the assembled sages of
decadcnt Roman Empire.
Mr. Hill explains how the Government
made by our Fathers sought to escape the
excesses Of an excited majority, by fixing
bounds to It's power; and, at the same time,
gave to the people enough sovereignty to pro
tect themselves from the greedy few who
would seek By tie abuses of Special PriU52cge,
to establish an aristocracy

complex Federal system; but call your atten-
ton to the fact that the great bulwark Of your

New I DIRK may be than Georgia. the bic State
must forever treat the small State as Its equal.
That's why / have always set a face of nint,
applied nationally, against the Populistic doc
trlne of the Referendum. unless way can be
found to apply it In such way as to prevent
the gentlemen Of the small States from being
ruled by the bought votes of the buns of the
big Northern cities.
When our Georgia leaders had shaken Off
the Carpet-bagger and his Ethiopian yoke
fellow, they determined to make a new Con-
stitution; and the very best men we had con-
vened In Atlanta In the summer Of 1877 to do
the work.
They did a great work. The syste-
matte footing of the State funds was
stopped. The lending of the public credit to
private schemes was forbidden a limit Of
Indebtedness was placed upon municipalities.
The selling of unborn generations into bond
age, was made more difficult.
It was not the fault of General 1ooRAbs
that such Federal Judges as Emory Speer
nullifed his law that was meant to forbid
competitive corporations from buying each
others stock, and forming dummy directo-
rates like that which the Central made for the
Southern.
It was not the fault of these disinterested
patriots of 1877 that the school children of
Georgia have been robbed Of free pafHaa9y
English educati0n.
The mandate is written as plainly as any
that can be found on the tablets of Mount
Sinai-"Give the children, free Of cA0rge, a
schooling in the elementary branches of an
English education, reading writing and alith-
metic"
For more than thirty years that mandate
has been trampled under foot. at the behest
of the voracous School book Trust, some dis
honest Public School officials, some rotten
members Of the Legislature and the Unsuitable
demands of the State Universty-where the
rich mans son IS supposed to be taught Latin,
Greek and German, at the e.cpcnse Of the
poor mans SON 9ch0 Gaaa9e0t read newspaper,
nor qc9Tte his oacn 2eaaoe.
Another thing those statesmen Of 1877 did,
or tried to do: they divided political power
between the counties. after the pattern of the
statesmen Of 1871.
To the smallest county, they guaranteed
one-tbird the power enjoyed by the largest.
They knew that the cities would naturally
attract the alloy, as we'll as the gold: and that
among the good men Of such centres Of pop{-
lation there would be an accumulation of the
idle the needy, the purchasable, the recently
naturalized the mere foater who represents
nothing good.
Our forfathers knew chat in the great cities
politics become a sordid game, and that scores
of different methods may be used to defeat
the real Will Of the voters,
The job-lash, the bride, the stuffed ballot
box, the repeater, the living vagabond who
votes the dead mans name, the registered tax
payer who comes to the polls and is calmly
told by the managers that some one else has
already voted his name-all these Tammany

got worse case of swell-head than ever, out

Brown, gagged his own convention with the
infamous Rube Arnold Rules, and again
abolished the county Unit pzaa.
This proves how the people are In danger,

BIG GERMAN LINER
SHOWS UP in MAINE
Kronprinzessin Cecilie With Immense
Treasure, Warned by Wireless, Puts
Back and Lands at Bar Harbor.

Bar HarbOr, Me-, Aug. 4.-The steam
ship KrOnprinzessin Ceeilie of tn,
North German Lloyd, which was sup
posed to be attempting to run the Brit
ish war fleets's North Sea blockad,
and get into Hamburg, arrived here 20
day,
Captain Pollock came ashore as soor
as his ship anchored and communicat
ed with the North German Lloyd's Of
| tices in New York. He was reticent
concerning the vessel S movements. The
passengers, it was understood, wanted
to land Immediately.
/. The Kronprinzessin Cecile sailed
from New York before the European
crisis became so acute as at present.
It's cabins were crowded with pas.
scngers and included in its cargo be-
tween $l00O0,000 and $l5,OOO,OO0 in
gold and silver consigned to English
and French financial houses.
According to schedule the liner
should have touched at Plymouth, Eng
land. 1t evidently was reached by
wireless on the voyage, however. and
warned that it would risk seizure by
the British naval authorities if it
toachcd there. On its failure to appear
at Plymouth at proper time, it was as
sumed that it was trying to make a
German port. On account of the trea-
sure it carried, this naturally created
tremendous excitement.
Its arrival here created the utmost
excitement. Yachts and motorboats
surrounded it Immediately.
Although Captain Pollock would not
discuss the Kronprinzcssin s move.
ments, it was learned from passengers
that the wireless message to return to
American waters was received Sunday
night, when the ship was 800 miles off
the English coast.
The same night, it was said, the
kronprinzessin intercepted a wireless
message from one French warship to
another informing the letter that the
North German liner was in their vicin.

and the captain stopped it at once, had

canvass across the portfolios and sky
lights, doubled his lookouts and ran at
full speed and with his siren silent
through dense fog to the westward.
To the men passengers, assembled in
the smoking room, he explained the
ships danger but he refused to send
wireless messages, lest they be picked
up by the English or French ships and
would not reveal the Kronprinzessiu' s
destination, which was not known to
the passengers until Bar Harbor was
reached
According to some of the passengers.
the liner was chased, supposedly by a
British warship ell of Monday night.
The captain had taken the precaution.

not considered certain that the pursucr
