In our democratic Platform there is a
plank declaring in favor of equal rights
for all, and special privileges for none,

The sale of cigars on Sunday has been
stopped also, and that is right from nv
point of view. To prohibit the sale Of
things which can be just as well purch-

to Town Council.
But there is a business that we feel is
not necessity, which is kept open and
operated every day in the year, and that
is the automobile garages Why should
the sale Of gasoline be permitted on Sun

CHANCE FOR BIG BIZ TO SHOW
SOME PATRIOTISM =
Eleven hundred troops, the First
Illinois infantry, were mustered out
on their arrival here today. Tanned
and robust from months in the open,
erect and eager to get back to famil-
lar sights, they jumped from the
three sections of the train that
brought them from Springfield early
today.
Along the tracks and around the
terminal were mothers and sisters
and sweethearts. There was an
eager scrutiny of faces as the boys in
khaki marched by, and then when
ranks were broken hurried pushing
through the crowd brought pairs and
trios together and soon the crowd
had scattered as each little group
walked off, busy with chatter of news
of home.
Few of the men have employment
in sight, but today the Association
of Commerce announced it would
try to find positions for all guards
men.
A chance for big business to show
it's patriotism came with the return
of the troops.
When the boys started for the Dor
der expecting to plunge into fight in
Mexico, managers for big firms with
out exception said they would pay
salaries to aid their families.
But the boys didn't fight, They
simply got a good stiff training that
will make real soldiers out of them.
Big business, when it was seen that
the soldiers were not going to fight
unless it was necessary, went back
on the promise of salary payment:
Many of the fellows had to come
back. and go to work to support their
families.
All the papers played the jobless
angle today. This is supposed. to be

WRECK ZEPPELIN
IN LONDON RAID
Brought Down in Flames, 10
Of Crew Dead.
one BniIOA WAS KILLED
Ten Airships Were in Squadron That
SheIed Eastern Counties of Great
Britain.

Britain.
London, Oct. 3.-Zeppelins raided
London and the eastern counties Sun
day night. There were but two casu
alties, man being killed, and wo-
man injured.
One OF the Zeppelins was brought
down in flames north Of the city. Ac
cording to the account it was hit six
times. The bodies OF thirteen mem
bers OF the crew were found in the
wreckage.
The Zeppelin appeared to remain al
most stationary in the air -or three
minutes after the envelope E<rst into
flames. The tongues of fire seemed to
lick along the bag until it was all
ablaze Even then it dropped so slow
ly that many persons who had not
awakened until the cheering aroused
them, were able to reach their win
dows in time to see it tall in an open
field some eighty yards from farm
er's cottage.
An official report on the two casu.
alties adds:
"The material damage was insignifi.
cant. Although the raiders covered
wide area, and dropped a great mum
Der of bombs only four houses were
demolished. A number Of windows
were broken"
An earlier report states:
"The airships crossed the east coast
between nine o'clock and midnight,
One airship approached the north OF
London at about ten o'clock P. NJ, but
was driven off by gunfire and pursued
by aeroplanes. She attempted to re
turn from the northwest but was at.
tackled by guns and aeroplanes and
brought to earth in flames in the neigh.
borhood of Potter's Bar shortly before
midnight.
"a second airship attempted to at
tack London from the northeast and
was driven off. Bombs were dropped.
The remaining aiTships wandered
aimlessly over the eastern counties,
In Lincolnshire bombs were dropped
promiscuously. Most OF them appear
to have been dropped in open country
without doing damage.
1.-The airship destroyed was of the
latest type
Friends of Count Zeppelin were
alarmed when they learned that an.
other airship had been brought down
in England, says the Amsterdam cor.
respondent of the Exchange Telegraph
company. The count intended to take
part in the raid, the correspondent
cables, but message sent to Germany
elected the information that at the
last moment, owing to the persuasion
of his family he decided not to join
the raiders.
