Father O'Malley, who had been lost
in thought, spoke up again: perhaps
you will let me try my wits. But first,

Dave recounted as cOherently as he
could the circumstances of Eds death,
and told how he had learned, through
Jose, of Longorio's intentions. As the
priest listened spot of color grew In
his cheeks, his eyes glowed with lndig-

guese bakers can be done by free, pro-

The terrible killing at the city hall
is the logical sequence of the attitude
of a few disreputable bipartisan polit-
ical shysters who have dominated the
political parties and worked every
theme and every body for their own
selfish ends. 1t is time labor took
real interest in civic and state gov
ernment and put few of the profess
sional crooks out of business, and it
should be a warning to several "dis-
tinguished citizens" that they cannot
deal with this gang and escape the
responsibility for their dirty work.
The 1rishman who once remarked
that circumstances altered cases."
was far-seeing gentleman. Only
few months ago labor unionist was
a red neck, an anarchist and an unde-
sirable citizen-today he is the salt of
the earth and the Drawn and sinew of
American citizenship, the man upon
whom the country depends to uphold
