do not take to themselves any credit

were terrorizing the public and escap-
ing prosecution.
Chief Austgen was informed about a
year ago that Burns was not dead but
he could not confirm the report at
that time. A month ago the chief was
informed Burns had been placed under
arrest in Syracuse. N Y. The Ham
mond police have no Bertillon system
and do not belong to the international
identification Bureau so Chief Auatgen
made Inquiries through the Gary chief
who is identified with the bureau and
dispatched descriptions OF Burns. This
is the reply the chief has received
through Gary from the superintend-
emit:

ton to your No. S9s. Frank Burns.
and asking me to forward YOU the
Syracuse copy. While this IS NOT
very clear and distinct copy and
yours Is quite similar. still there
can be no doubt in my mind in
regard to the Identity Of this
party. To me IT is quite plain
that his death in the Lake coun+v
jail was merely q superstition and
not fact. Unfortunately I have
not on file in this bureau a copv
of the finger prints Of this man
other than those as furnished by
Syracuse n. Y. but from the

the widow of the late Jack" Meehan
full compensation for his death under

killed in a strike riot last February.
that he was hired by the Souie Detec-

5EccND CHOICE NOT NECESSARY

The primary election is not far off,
coming, as it does on the 5th of Sept
cmber. A good mahS candidates APP
pear ON the Republican ticket. The
Democratic ticket is practically nomin-
ated at this time. there appearing but
one or two breaks in the tranquility
of the Democratic host. 1t is noted
that some of the candidates are max
ing IA bid for second choice votes. No1
long ago the voter was required to
make a second choice, but as the theory
was manifestly a species of bunk. and
no voter has second choice. that pOr-
ton of the election law was killed. so
that it is no longer compulsory to vote
the second choice. Therefore it is 4
good scheme to forget it and stand by
the original choice all the time.

PAYING OTHER PEOPLES BILLS

When you contract Il bill i'll CONNER
eial life you pay the debt and do not
ash others to pay it for you.
The same, however, cannot be said
OF congress or the government Of the
United States.
There are thousands of men serving
in the National Guard regiments on
the border who have left familic5 or de
pendent relatives behind without the
necessary means of sustaining life while
the bread winner is away serving his
country.
In many cases the business employ
ers OF these soldiers have voluntarily
been paying their employees their sal
aries while they are with the army. In
III h cases the families do not suffer,
but it is hardship on the employer.
In other eases the dependent families
aye supported by lo al contributions,
charity
is THIS RIGHT!
Should the government of the United
States, the richest nation in the world,
expect the dependant families of its
soldiers to be supported by private char
ity or starve to death?
Is system that permits such con
ditions to exist conclusive to patriot
ism on the part of the young married
men of the country.
1T is NOT.
AS it stands today few patriotic
employers and private citizens are bear
ing the burden that should be placed
upon the shoulders Of -: of the people
through means Of general taxation.
When the welfare of the nation re-
quires the placing of an army i'll the
field the expense Of such an army, of
every nature, should be borne from the
public funds, and no individual citizen
should be asked or expected to pay more
than his just portion.
It is within the power Of congress to
right this wrong if it so desires, and TO,
the sake of our young men in the ranks
Of their families at home. AND FOR
THE SAKE OF COMMON DECENCY
it is to he hoped that for once cong
ress will not shirk its plain duty.
