contract for mules for city work, and
who also acted as collector of the
campaign fund.
The liberality of saloon keepers in
contributing money for campaign pur-
poses which was brought out by the
contributors themselves being placed
on the stand late Thursday, also de-
veloped the fact that some of them
endeavored 10 play safe by splitting
their donations between the demo-
cratic and republican parties. The
bigger slices, however were given to
the democrats.
Frank Lux, owner Of the W. Wash
ington st. saloon in the down town dis
trict, gave $25 10 the democrats, but
only SO TO the republicans
John y. Heinlin, whose place is
near the public library donated $50 to
the democrats and SIS TO the republi-

Several saloon keepers testified to

party workers or minor city officials.
but it was not established that there
was any explicit threats or promises
made to induce the contributors Ito
come across" Some of the saloon
keepers made their contributions di-
rect to the republican and democratic
headquarters One of the counts
charges that tribute was levied on the
saloon dealers and certain other par
ties under implied threats of persecu-
ton by the police department.
Michael ]. SKY" Noone testified
that he collected about S130 in the for

Mayor Bell.
When Noone left the stand he walk
ed over and shook hands with the
mayor. Frequently during the trial
some prominent business man takes a
seat alongside Of the defendant and
spends a few minutes in conversation.
Faulty ventilation of the court room
has caused Mayor Bell to contract a
cold and a slight fever compelled him
to leave the room for a while Thurs
day afternoon.

Who Runs the Paper

In neighboring county clergy
man took the editor of the local paper
to task because the editor accepted q
certain advertising contract The good
man forgot for years the editor had
given freely of his space to help the
church; had printed columns of notices
OF services. meetings, suppers, enter
|, tainments and lectures, all free. In do
mating this space the editor had given
more than the equivalent of cash. He
had given publicity, and thus had done
more to support the church and pay
the minister's salary than any three
members of the church had done. An
editor has but two sources of income
his subscription list and his space. Yet
IN this case, when he sold his spaca he

wishes to do so but no subscr;her

Business conditions often govern these
matters, A rich and prosperous pn;la-

for years declined the advertisement of
cigarette manufacturers. Business has
fallen off lately for many of the maya

down little further, as long as takers
