A BOOSTER.

A BOOSTER. - hope since you
raised the price Of your Day Book
that you have not lost many sub
scribers. When,I came to Chicago
three years ago a friend told me to
buy The Day Book, because that was
the only daily paper in Chicago that
did not poison the minds of its read
ers. It makes a fellow feel rotten to
see a town like Chicago, with so
many union men, supporting their
enemies, the trust papers. When
ever they have chance they fight
union labor. Is the memory of theI
American workngman so bad that
he forgets things that happen in a
day? r
Don't they remember the neWspa-
per strike, and did they forget the
Chicago anarchists who were muir
dered through the Chicago newspa-
pers. I read a book, "The Bomb"
and wish every workipgman in Chi
cago would read it, and 1 am sure,
When they got through with it that
The Day Book would have an in
crease in its circulation.
Then they would know a little
more about the dirty tricks of the.

WHAT A FARcEWL- So the Ma
tional Security league, is to hold a
congress or constructive patriot
ism" in Washington in January. This
patriotic "talk-fest' will be engi-
neered by some Of our most eminent
patriots" albeit they smell to high
heaven with their fattenings off our
present industrial system. Most
prominent of these is our willy friend,
Robert Bacon of New York, erst-
while partner of J. P. Morgan. & Co.
No reason at all why he shouldn't be
patriotic" Business in his line is
booming. You know steel products
in the form of bullets, shells, etc., are
smearing all Europe with the life
blood of fathers and sons and broth
ers. The greater the carnage the
bigger Pierpont's profits Wherefore
he and his class are patriotic when
patriotism means a market here for
his products to replace that of Eu-
rope. l doubt not but that Robert
Bacon's patriotic spasms are in di-
rect ratio to the size of our military
appropriations.
Then there is our. fellow citizen,
Geo. T. Buckingham of Chicago, he
of the Civic Federation, that was. to
bring the capitalist lion and the labor
lamb to lie quietly in the same room
while each was about its appointed
task.
We all remember his friendship
toward such democratic measures as
the initiative, the referendum and
recall. Patriotism does not mean for
him or his kind the rule of the COM
mon people. Far from it. He still

Flees Officers
at Jamestown

jamestown, Aug. 7.-During the rain
Sunday afternoon Chief Obermiller
and number of friends took a
stroll that was not without interesting
features. A number Of ttransients had
congregated around the building used
as baggage room and express Office by
the N. p, and Obermiller realized that
their actions indicated that there was
something in the wind" With him
were Special Agents Zweiner, Golf and
Mcdowell, of the N. P, and the four
men determined to "get" the ring lead.
ers before any overt act was commit
ted. They accordingly took the men
who were apparently directing the at
tempt to start something" searched
them, and started the whole company
out of town toward the west Their
numbers were augmented by the adj
dition of many more who were gath
cred near the river, so that there were
$50 or 275 of the men in the company
by the time they got across the river.
Here rather amusing incident took
place. Some of the Greeks and Ital-
ians who are living on the railway
right of way just west of the river saw
the officers coming with the large
gang ahead of them. They called,
Lawrence! Lawrence!" and immedi-
ately the whole colony Of about 70 or
so men swarmed out armed with for
midable looking firearms. They were
apparently spelling for fight and
were evidently anxious to assist the
police in getting rid of the transients.
"Mita get 'em!" they repeatedly called,
and Obermiller was compelled to use
every exertion to prevent their falling
on the harvest hands and making
short work of them. They were held
back, however, and the procession con-
tinued, the track crews bringing up
the rear. The willingness of the Greeks
and Italians to take a hand in the af-
fair is partially explained by the fact
that their respective foremen had as
sured Chief Obermiller some time ago
that they would support him at any
time, and it is probable that each in
dividual workman is under instruc-
tons to come to the assistance of the
the police at any time their services
are needed. They have had their
guns we'll oiled for several weeks, it
is stated.
The transients dared the officers to
follow them out of town and the police
accepted the challenge, taking them
about two miles out before leaving
them and returning.
A Medina negro reported to the JAM
estown police Saturday evening that
he had been robbed by three other
darkies as he climbed out of freight
car, claiming to have lost $13. The
police rounded up the dusky looters
and result of thorough search re-
covered most of the money, together
with revolver, a watch and some
other suspicious articles. The Medina
darkey, with the larger share of his
unlucky $13, returned home by the
next train. The looters were subject
ed to severe grilling, and then given
an opportunity to escape toward the
east. They seized the chance and it
is stated broke the city speed ordi-
nance in getting out of town, being
assisted vigorously therein by the po-
