Understood that of the men were for
conviction, and 4 for modified SEN

disposed of as early as possible. He
says that he was justified in shooting
down Bradley, in spite of the damag-
ing testimony of eye witnesses. But

 J. G. Spangler cashier of the Mesa City bank, followed President Cook. He said that the milk industry of the Salt River valley is the most
 substantial of this section. To make it all that it should be there should he cooperation with the dairymen on the part of bankers and business men. That cooperation can come in finding or creating markets for the products of the milk produced.
 Speaking of the aid the Mesa City bank endeavOrs to give to dairymen, Cashier Snangler said.
 'I do not consider that we have any safer form of investment than milch cows. When a man with a piece of good land comes to us and says he wants to borrow money to buy milch cows we do not hesitate to advance to him the entire pur- chase price, after considering the
 moral risk and the apparent feasi-
 bility of his project. For we know that with the Pacific Creamery ready to take all of his milk, he will be in a position to repay a loan at an average rate of about three dollars per month for each head"

The Eternal Conflict.

Society is nothing more than a con-
tinuation of the conflict of nature IN
der the guidance of intelligence. 1t is
vain to hope for any amelioration of
society from the prevalence of an in
tellectual education. Culture Of the in
tellect supplies new weapons for use
In the conflict and may render it less
rude in appearance, but cannot change
its nature. Doctrines and
creeds are forms; the will supplies
their contents. Just as a vehicle may
convey substances having wholesome
or injurious or indifferent properties.
so any system of thinking-theolog-
ical. social or pOlitical-may be made
to bear any purpOrt, good or bad. To
try to shape opinions so that they may
not be made subservient to any evil
purpose is all labor in vain.-Schopen-

All a Dream,


There Is an amusing example Of OH
entail subtlety in an anecdote that Mr..
Sidney Whitman tells in Turkish
Memories" The story is Of a young
diplomat who was sent to CONSTANT
nOple to be trained for his profession
One day the diplomat met a carriage
guarded by a eunuch that contained
some ladies of the sultan's harem. The
young man endeavOred to peep In at
the window and got blow across the
face from the vigilant eunuch- He
made a great uproar and lodged a COM
plant with the sultan himself. He was
received in private audience, and Alb
dull Hamid listened patiently to his
story of the outrage.
On its conclusion the sultan replied:
my dear sir, 1 have gone carefully
into the case and see exactly how it
stands. You are q gentleman; there
fore you could never have committed
such a breach Of good manners as Is
alleged to have taken place, and conse-
Quently no eunuch could possibly have
presumed to strike you. The whole af-
fair must be the product Of your fancy;
pray let us dismiss it"

this finding by a Democratic Board,
goes on to show to our people the fair
ness of this Board, irrespective to color
or creed from close observance we find
that we have ably good and reliable
friends in each of the officials and
especially Mr.. W. J. Conley its Secyy
and it may be said that Mr.. O'Toole,
who represented the City and who is
considered an expert and who. is being
held by the City on account of his
knowledge of the Compensation Law
tried by every means to inject into the
proceeding evidence which would preju-
dice the minds of the Board, but to no
avail, Mr.. Daniel J. May, who repre-
scented the Board should be highly COM
mended for his manly stand in consider
ing this case under the law and the
evidence and not as was tried to be
shown by Mr.. O'Toole. The Italian
who shot Hall, is still in the City's
employ under an alias name and who is
not a civil service employee, was not
civil service employee at the time
of the shooting. 1t is said that he is
being held by the general foreman of
the first district, Mr.. Allen, who is
said to be a close relative of E. M.
Allen, Ex-Warden of the Joliet Peni-
Tertiary, and who is now prosecuting
Chicken Joe Campbell, for his life. 1t
is further said that Allen caused the
trouble and tried to get the italian
away after the shooting. 1t is further
said that the gun that the italian shot
Hall with was taken out of the auto
mobile of Allen, the general foreman
and after the shooting it was placed
back into the automobile and was taken
again out of the automobile by one of
the employees working at the time of
the shooting and turned over to the
police. That Allen, instead of trying
to catch the criminal let one of them
pass him and get away and tried to
crank his machine and was cranking
it at the time this Italian got to the
machine after the shooting for the
purpose of getting the italian away.
Allen, the general foreman admitted
on cross examination before the In
dustrial Board that he said to the
Italian "what in the r. have you
been doing get to r. away from
here"
1t is up to Mayor William Hale
Thompson, to see to it; that Mr.. Hall,
who is the father of four or five chill
dren and who at the time he was
shot by an unnaturalized Italian, was
peaceably discharging his duties, as
city employee; receives his eompensa-
tion, without any contest being waged
against it's payment on the part of the
City Law Department. Attorney A. L.
Williams has certainly proven himself
to be manly fighter, for he has beaten
the best lawyers in the legal department
of Chicago, in fighting for the rightful
claim or money which belongs to Mr..
Hall.
