that some state or section had to be first and Illinois, as wen Is
nearly all the other Northern states, have already got'eh 'en
"frst" in federal appropriations. We will wager that a much
larger per cent of the towns and counties OF illinois nave puonc
buildings than the counties and towns in North Carolina or MIS-
sissippi. It is not fair to measure the public building needs OF a
state by the taxes paid in; the fact that one state mas o the
wealth of another is not to its discredit, and communities, no
less than individuals, do not relish having their poverty MADE
matters of public comment. Illinois, we dare say. is getting
back in pensions very nearly what it pays in taxes. while the
Southern states help foot this bill and get none of the money.
No doubt there are places which are scheduled to get
of similar bills passed under Republican rule. These should
be eliminated whenever known. but the fact that this is true
should not place in jeopardy the buildings for communities
which are entitled to them.
1t is time for sourfaced, disappointed and disgrunted Re
pubicans to quit beefng. The Republicans have been running
things to suit themselves so long that there are a few among
them-and only a few-who have reached the conclusion that
whatever comes South is thrown away.

SWEDEN FEARS


London, April 29.-Cireat apprehension in
regard to possible disturbances on May
day exists in Sweden, says an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from stockholm. The
conservative parties announced on Fri
day that they had organized corps of stu
dents and other young men to assist the
police in preserving order in case Of labor
disturbances. The Socialists quickly
countered by organizing similar protec-
ton corps to safeguard the workmen.
The whole subject of these protection
corps was taken up In Parliament yester-
dew Hialmar Branting. the Socialist
leader, said he would guarantee there
would be no riotng if the workmen were
not provoked. Premier Swartz said dis
cussion in Parliament would help to calm
public opinion
Later in the day all parties. including
the Socialist. issued a Joint proclamation
urging the people to maintain quiet. on
the ground that all classes must cooper
ate ito save Sweden from the perils of

CRITICISM FOR
GEN. GROENER

Amsterdam, April 29.-(Nia London). -
The appeal issued to German munitions
workers by Gen. Groener, head of the de-
partment of munitions, in which he de-
nounced strikers as political traitors and
said they would be suppressed with the
full force of the law, has resulted in
sharp criticism in the Rechstag main
committee, Berlin dispatches say. Gus
tav Hoch, Socialist deputy. said:
This appeal is not made in tone
which free-thnkng workmen should be
addressed. AS long as grievances exist,
strikes cannot be avoided
DIR. Ernest Quarick. Socialist Democrat
said: This is Il relapse in patrarchial
times. There can be no separation of the
economic and political demands of work
men
Herr Batter said: These orders from
military quarters are not Ineligible to
worlmen. They laugh at such language
which cannot possibly impress them The
government ought to maintain contac,
with organized labor. This is not being
done. The result is that such appeals as
this are instigated in political quarters.
