FIREMEN
GET Away
With CHICKENS
(From Tuesdays Daily.)


The annual chicken chowder served
by the east side fire company took
place last evening. Prairie chickens
formed the chief ingredient in the
making of the delicious food. A few
Of the garden variety of chickens and
some ducks helped swell the size of
the feed.
Gus. Schuman, noted chef, prepared
the meal and it was fully up to any
thing Gus had produced before.
Mayor Ellis, a number of the alder
men and some friends of the firemen
were guests at the supper.
AS usual there was considerable
bantering back and forth among the
members of the company and every
one had very enjoyable time be-
sides filling up on the chowder.
One fireman said he would be a.
shamed to look chicken in the face
today, don't know what kind of
chicken he means.

probably into the camp of organized
labor, by his exposure of the fact that
Samuel Gompers' chief friend and pal
in this administration, Postmaster
General Burleson, has amassed his
fortune by the use of convict labor
on his Texas plantation. Mr.. Burle-
son employs convicts to the exclusion
of free labor, giving the State so per
cent Of their products and retaining
40 per cent for himself. Senator
Sherman suggests that organized
labor cannot approve of the intimacy
between Mr.. Gompers and Mr.. Burle-
son under these circumstances. He
does not know if Mr. Gompers is a.
ware Of how his pal, Burleson, has
amassed his wealth and he is convinc-
ed that organized labor generally is
unaware of the facts; therefore he
has spread upon the Congressione
Record the court records of the trial
for murder of convict Of one Of
Burleson's overseers who had horse
whipped the unfortunate convict un-
til he died. The overseer was acouit-
ed on the ground that all the evil
dence against him came from the
fellow convicts Of his victim. Ard
Burleson has since appointed him
postmaster Of Longview, Texas. De
claring that Every intelligent COM
'munity in the world and every decent
citizen in this country is opposed to
convict labor" Mr.. Sherman said he
felt it his duty, inasmuch as Mr..
Burleson is a partner of Mr.. Comp
ers in his political activities ito ex-
pose the facts"

BASE BALL

Grand Rapids Has Probably Seen the
Last Game of Base Ball This

The team has disbanded and while

La Toilette Holds Wisconsin

Another indication that this is not
a reactionary year is the denomination
of Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin
over an opponent who may safely be
ranked among the political back-trail-
ers. The last gubernatorial election
in Wisconsin, two years ago, was a
direct defeat for "the Wisconsin
idea" and an indirect defeat for La
Toilette. If La Toilette is now to be
reelected as well as re-nominated it
will be safe to believe that in his state
the wave of frothy reaction, which
came on the heels of the European
war, has begun to pass. La Toilette
has never bent his head to that wave.
He has never acquiesced in the ex-
cesses of the militarists. He has stood
to his guns in the thin times of liber-
alism as well as in the days of its
piping victories. Nobody in the Unit
ed States has accused him of trucking
to Wall street or to Bethlehem, Penn
sylvania, or to Shrapnelville, Connec-
ticut. He has walked his own deter
mined way pretty consistently and has
been no mans man but his own. If a
politician of his type can win an cleo
ton in the State of Wisconsin in the
