the miners are getting tired of toll
ing day in and day out only to have
their earnings taking from them by
organizers and agitators who live in
luxury and travel in the most expens-
i've manner, living at the best hotels
and never having to turn a hand to
earn an honest dollar. The miners at
Butte have grown tired of having to
pay not less than $40 a month to go
to make up the money that their of
ficers live on and SO will the time
soon come when the miners in other
parts of the fcountry will rebel
against the graft that they must pro-
vide for in order to take care of the
few who do nothing but go from
place to place and work up strife.
In Colorado we have McLennon,
Lawson, Doyle, Hickey, Diamond,
Minor, and several others who are
now feathering their nests on the tolls
they are laying on the miners in the
other parts of the country, who think
their earnings are being used in 4
good cause. While the men who are
being fooled by them are barely ex-
isting on small pittance a week.
These leaders will not stop at any
thing to keep their graft flourishing
and had it not been for them, hun
dreds of men here would be earning a
decent living for their families, while
many others, men, women and child
rem, who have been killed in the con-
flicts would be today enjoying the
life and happiness that their maker
intended they should. Like the wolves
they are, they are waiting to spring
on the earnings of those they have so
grossly deceived as soon as they re-
turn to their labor. But thanks to
the wisdom of the operators of this
state, the time will never come when
these inhuman vultures will be per-
mitted to crowd down on their un-
|suspecting victims and suck the very
existence out of them. while their
families go in want and hunger.
The lesson that is being taught at
Butte is well worth studying; it goes
to show that there is limit to all
things, and that like ship OIL a rocky
reef in violent storm, the unions are
being beaten to pieces, and the time
is not far distant when the leaders
will be forced to make their living by
honest methods, by their own labor.
The sooner this condition gets firm

Passing Away

President Wilson is satisfied now
that the psychological trouble of the
nation is passing. The net loss on our
foreign trade in April was 100000
but this was reduced in May to s63,-
100000 and if we can just grit our
teeth and hold on for thirty-two
months and our gold reserve can stand
the strain, and nothing else happens
the psychological wave may pass and
leave us on dry land. Let us be hop
full. Fortunately those scandalous r.
publicans took the gold reserve Of
the nation, which Cleveland reduced
to $500, 100000 and built it up to near
ly two billion dollars, and the presi-
dent believes it will take more than
four years of democracy to wipe it
out

Indiana, the old doubtful state,
which for years has been regarded as
the barometer of any approaching pc
litical change, is pointing emphatical-
ly to republican victory this fall. Car
ried by republicans in recent years in
which they were successful, it swung
so strongly democratic, two years ago
that it wiped out the entire republican
congressional delegation which had
been so prominent in the nations af-
fairs.
The recent primaries in the Hoosier
state tell a palmer story than can well
be expressed in words of the direction
in which the Indiana political tide
is drifting rapidly. The primary vote
revealed almost startling republican
gains and corresponding progressive
and democratic losses. Perhaps the
most significant feature of the result
of the primaries this far is the terri
fic slump in the bull moose vote. For
instance, in Lake county, in which
is located the Industrial city of Gary,
the progressive vote dropped from
s669 In 1919 10 . msrs eco in this
years primary. The democratic vote
dwindled from 5136 in 1912 to 225O
and the republican vote increased
from 1176 to 64OO.
Will H. Hays, the Indiana republi-
can chairman, reports that his advices
indicate widespread dissatisfaction
throughout the state, with present
conditions, not only in industrial CEN
ters, such as Gary, but throughout
the agricultural sections. For exam
pie, in Lawrence county the republi-
can vote was nearly four hundred
greater in the recent primary than it
was in the primary of 1912, and the
primary of 1912 was held long before
division developed in the republican
ranks. The democratic vote in Law
renee county dropped off ninety per
cent compared with that of 1912.
Mr.. Hays reports that the republi-
can primary in Henry, Randolph and
many other counties, which were lost
to the republicans two years ago, ere
large enough to return all of them 10
the G. o. P. ranks this year by sub
stantial pluralities.

sive party in Indiana is indicated ~

gressive vote in this years primary

Effect. If Il is Success, Would Prob
ably Be to Put End TO Sport
Here and at Joslin.

Il is understood that Rock Island
and Moline men have formed a stock
company 10 promote horse-racing and
eventually a county fair at Campbelrs
island The Tri-City Railway com
pany is said to have assured the pro
motors that il will back any move OF
this nature and has agreed to erect the
necessary buildings and construct
wagon bridge from the main land to
the island in 1915.
CampbeITs island is an ideal spot
for such proposition and with wag-
on bridge connecting the mainland
races there should draw large crowds.
The men who are back of this venture
have been busy in quiet way for the
past few weeks and have already com
meuced the sale of stock. The stock
i being sold for the purpose of build
ing the track and geeting ready to
race. II is understood the Tri-City
Railway company will erect barns,
grandstands. etc.
May Affect JosIin Fair.
Should the Campbell island project
materialize the effect upon the Rock
Island County Fair association at JOS
lin is an open question. The Joslin
fair organization is not strong and
should the fair at CampbeIl's island
be 4 success. it might have TO go out
OF existence.
As for Rock Island Exposition park,
il will undoubtedly be plated and sold
for building lots and there will be no
more racing here, as these two cities
are not large enough to suDDort tygo
racing associations

THREE CLUBS ARE
NOW IN The RACE
Broadway, First Methodist and
First Baptist Men Out
for Members.
ARE MAKING LARGE GAINS
All Live Organizations and Formed for
the Purpose of Discussing
Live Topics.

The attendance contest between the
mems classes of the Broadway Pres
byterian church and the First Metho-
dist church started off with a rush
last Sunday The Methodists reported
A for the day. while the Broadway
men had only 30, and one of the
members of the latter class suggested
that if they did not work, they would
come out in third place instead of
second. But the plot thickens, for
the newly organized mems class of the
First Baptist church, hearing that sec
ond place was apt to be vacant, came
to the front at once. and volunteered
to do their best to fill second place.
Now it becomes a three-cornered
affair. which adds more interest, and
which adds to the probability that
every man in Rock Island will be
given an opportunity to support one
of these contestants.
Composed of Live Men.
All three are composed of live men,
and are discussing live subjects, not
theoretical and intangible themes, but
problems of every day life, such as the
relation of employer to employee, the
relation of the individual to society,
and the relation of all of these to our
governmental, state and municipal
laws Both sides of the fence are repre-
sented, and it is free meeting, where
everyone's opinion is welcome, and is
met with an argument by the other
fellow.
Outside men with a particular
knowledge of the subject under dis
cussion are often invited to present
first hand facts from actual expert
ence.
The men meet at $50 every Sunday
morning.

BY RAYMOND HITCHCOCK,
Star of "The Beauty Shop

To a man who would be beautiful
nothing is more important than a good
complexion. When 1 speak OF a good
complexion l mean there should be a
place for every color and every color
in its place. A peacl-blOom red. for
instance, which is so becoming when
worn slightly nor'nor'west of the cheek
bones. does not create favorable COM
ment when il appears on the nose in
fiambOyant, or one may say, blatant
tints.
Many men are in the habit of wear
ing face-masks when they retire for
the night. These masks, however.
should not be put on before entering
the house, as they are likely to create
misunderstanding resulting in rapid
fire gun-play. The gentle use of a
massage roller will be found advan-
tageous il persistently persevered in.
Always use a roller under five hun
dred pounds in weight, so that it may
be operated by hand. Rollers drawn
by horses, or gasoline power, are ex-
clusively for the use of the lawn, or
the roadway, and should be studious-
~ avoided in facial decorating and
body treatments. as they are too

But both Barney Bertsche and JIM
my Ryan were caught, tried and con-
Victed. This broke up the clairvOyant
game in Chicago and also did away
with the impression that had been
given out that Barney Bertsche was
able to fix the states attorney.
This was also the beginning of a
disagreement between the states at
torney's office and the police depart
ment, especially the detective bureau,
and Hoyne has been after crooks in
the police department ever since.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-10-09

who had been at the office of his at
tOrney, James T. Brady, had gone to
Randolph and Clark streets to meet
Bertsche. The latter's was Spira's
able counselor and every day during
his trial they met and talked things
over. Spira had evidently just left
Bertsche when Egan and Monaghan
came up. The trouble started and
Spira ran back. He was shot be-
cause he tried to help Bertsche.
'The police say Egan had no gun
and that the only weapons they can
account for are the two automatics
used by Bertsche, Monaghan's gun
and the gun they say Spira had. Then
there was one shot fired by Detective
yelling.
$50 far only two guns-the one
used by Monaghan and one of the
automatics used by BeTtsche-have
been found. If these are the only
guns used, the police then have failed
to account for about ten bullets
which denied the walls of the street
and were not found in the bodies of
the cOmbatants.
"The truth is the police are at
tempting to cover up evidence which
would expose the departments rot
tenness. There is no doubt in my
mind but it was an OUt-and-out at
tempt to kill BeTtsche because of the
enmity between he and Egan."
The reason Barney Bertsche is now
under penitentiary sentence in the
clairvoyant trust cases, especially
that of Mrs. Hope McEldowney, is
that Bertsche was supposed to be the
fixer for the clairvoyants, and the
story reached the ears of States At
torney Hoyne that the clairvOyants
believed Bertsche had the states at
tOrney's Office fixed.
