This retrospective view Of the hal

white hairs and trembling limbs gave
token of a lengthy pilgrimage More

Mississippi to carry the blessings of
civilization into the wilds of Iowa
With strong arms and true hearts,
they had battled with the perils OF
border life, and conquered. The wild

the result of their labors, buds and
blossoms as the rose.
Men in the prime of manhood were
there who, although old settlers are
still comparatively young in years.
These came in boyhood's hopeful
hours. nobly assisted their elders in
the struggles incident to the pioneer.
and are worthy to share in the honor
and glory of the victory. With their
wives, children and friends, these
men came to greet each other, to re-
new the friendships of early years
and to pledge to each other for the
future, strong and perfect fellow
ship. All honor to the pioneers, the
heroes and heroines of the past Flu
ture generations will arise and call
them blessed. It was appropriate

BIG CHANCE FOR BIG BILL THOMPSON TO DO
REAL JOB NOW-WILL HE?


You got the police chief you recon-
mended. You've had the police force
for your own any time day or night
for strikebreaking service. Stacked
in my Office files are letters and let
tiers from the Illinois Manufacturers
assn telling me what service l have
rendered the business interests
through my policy on the Teachers
Federation and the garment strike.
1t is my privilege to inform you gen.
tlemen here tonight that / under
stand well what a weapon of defense
and offense the police department is
for the suppression of labor revolts.
l have appointed as corporation
counsel an attorney who has been
regularly retained by several corpor-
ations who are members of your as
sociation. With such an arrange
ment your association should be well
taken care of, and if don't get the
kind of support 1 am entitled to from
your association l may consider
throwing open the doors of the
mayors office to the Chicago FEEDER
alton of Labor" ~
A speech like that and there would
not be today in Association of Com
merce circles such common trick of
snickering when the City Hall is
mentioned.
If Big Bill wants to have some of
these knockers eating out of his hand
all he has to do is enforce the Buck
order passed by city council and di-i
rect the police force to strictly en-;
force the law and arrest sluggers and
private police guilty of violence.
A police department neutral and,
judicial between capital and labor
would be new and an interesting
thing.
1t wouldn't be good news to some
of the mayors knockers if he should
suddenly decide to jump into the gar
ment strike and use all his powers.

Chicago.
In that length of time an able first
class mayor who knows his job
should be able to pile up such rec
ord that his name won't raise horse
laugh when mentioned outside of
City Hall coteries.
In certain business circles, where
the Big Bill boosters held a fairly
even balance with the Big Bill knock
ers few months ago, there is now
another drift of feeling. In the Assn
of Commerce are those who smoker
when they mention the City Hall.
If Big Bill thinks he's got the ILL
nois Manufacturers assn with him
individually and collectively it's a
wrong guess. That entire organiza-
ton of dues-paying members who
hire John M. Glenn as secretary for
lobby and emissary work is more
with Charlie Deneen than with Big
Bill Under the eight years of De-
neen as governor the Illinois Manu-
facturers' assn got many handouts
and never once a real kick in the
Stats from Charlie Deneen.
At that Assn of Commerce ban
quet the other night the officiating
chairman said something like this to
Mayor Bill:
Before you were elected you
promised us what you'd do Now that
you've had six months of it tell us
what you've done"
And Big Bill got up and explained
how he settled the car strike and the
carpenters strike and raised and dis
bursed the Eastland fund. Under the
ripples of applause the air was new
ertheless cool and thin sheet of ice
was perceptible amid the human rela-
tons of the group.
1t wasn't Bills cue at all He had
a better answer. He would have
commanded respect and evoked fear
if he had said:

TEACHER.MOTHERS
WIN LONG BATTLE

New York, Feb. 1.-THE board of
education revoked last night the sus.
pension Of Mrs. Lora H. Wagner, the
teacher in the Tottenville high school,
whose application for leave of alb
sence, prior to the birth OF her child
was refused.
The revocation resolution provided
that the charge be withdrawn and that
Mrs. Wagner be restored to duty at
once. Similar action was taken in six
teen other teacher-mother cases.
The action of the board of Mrs.
Wagner's case and the other sixteen
ends the long fight of the teacher
mothers and follows recent decision
of State Commissioner of Education
Finley who handed down an opinion in
the case of Mrs. Bridget c. Peixotto
which set aside the boards order of
dismissal and itself was based on a
decision of the court of appeals.
While the decision was in one case
only, the board it was explained, felt
there was nothing left to do but apply
it to all similar pending cases.

Paris, Feb. 12.-The French war Of
fee this afternoon gave out report
on the progress of the war which reads
as follows:
Between the sea and the Somme
yesterday saw artillery fighting. To
the south of La Boisselle the enemy
exploded mine at the end of one Of
our trenches. We, however, main
tanned our position.
From the Somme to the Argonne
there has been reported nothing more
than the bombardment of Tracy-Le-
Mont by the enemy and the activity
of our artillery in the sectors Of
Rheims and of Scissors.
"In the Woevre yesterday witnessed
fairly spirited cannonading on the
part of the Germans in front of RAM
bucourt and the forest of La Hazelle.
We bombarded the railroad stations at
Thiaucourt and Arnaville."

TO RAISE BIG SUM

Chicago, Feb. 11.-Campaign for a
fund Of $11,600,000 with which to pro

widows and orphans of ministers of
the Methodist Episcopal church of the
United States will be made this year,
according to action taken at the an
nual meeting of the board of confer

There are 1000 claimants in the
United States, it was said, and their
claims for 1914 amounted to $4,000 900
or about 100000 more than the church
fund had provided. To meet this de.
felt and to provide for an adequate
fund for 1856, the campaign for $11,'
600, 1000 is to be made.
