FRAUD CASES TO BE HEARD

Chicago, Jan. 5 Selection of to-
day as the date on which the trial Of
the first of the vote fraud cases shall
begin means taking up anew one of
the bitterest political and legal bat
ties ever waged in this State. The
men to be tried are Charles Baranov,
Joseph Gordon, Thomas Geary and
David Rose. They are accused OF al
tering ballots in the sixteenth pre-
cinct of the Eighteenth ward in No
vember, 1912. The men have the
quiet support of some of the most
powerful political interests in CHI
cago Ostensibly, however, their bat
ties are being fought solely with the
aid of their attorneys.

y. II. Gcrow has received official mo-

master general, that salaries of post
masters, over $4,000, are subject to
the income tax and that the disburs-
ing officers will be instructed to de-
duct the amount due when he sends
checks for salary. II any postmaster
is entitled to exemptions allowed,

exemptions allowed are the present
president for one term, the judges of
the supreme and inferior courts of

and municipal officers and employees.
The act says This includes all

WHAT SUPT. ADAMS SAYS
OF APPROACHING CHAUTAUQUA

Speaking of the approaching Chau-
tauqua, Supt. C. Rucker Adams said
to Telegram reporter: "The Chau-
tauQua is the great show place VIII, re
folks see much and hear more: the
university of the people, with hard
grind left out and fun put in its
place; a mental play ground where
minds grow and develop; it is also a
gymnasium where physical develop
ment and relaxation are practical,
and the peoples forum where the in
terest of every man is given full con-
sideration and fair, square deal. 1t
is the most intellectual thing in
America and is filled with amuse-
ment and joyful entertainment, no
stiffness and no starch. 1t begets con-
genial, neighborly, inspiring associa-
tion and is the most American
thing in America "
Some don't understand and have
poked lot of fun at the Chautau-
qua. OF course they are folks who
don t understand what it is; and who
fail to comprehend great many 9TH.
er things being done to make this a
great country.
But there are great many
thinking people who have come to
believe that the Chautauquas arc
actually directing the trend of pub
lie thought Because even the
Chautauqua entertainments aim at a
mans brains. Ideas must be put up
in attractive form the same as food
or the masses won't be attracted.
The Florida Chautauquas are planned
for this purpose. We want crowds
brought into our towns: we want
Chautauqua time to be a busy time
in the stores and the shops; between
sessions. But we want the crowds
and busy times to attract the. best
kind Of people; those interested in
the upbuilding of homes and our
town. We want everybody to have
a good time and then be happy, but
we want these folks to have some
thing to be happy over. SOMETHING
TO ENJOY AT HOME AFTER 1T
IE ALL. OVER Something that will
keep them thinking, for when you
get community of people thinking
in the same direction you will see
results We want every citizen Of
this community to buy tickets for the
entire family not "just to help the
thing along, but because of the real
worth to the community of Chau-
tauqua and the value to be received
from each feature presented. Only
on basis of real merit can we
build for success"
