Milwaukee, Oct. 20.~-La Toilette IS
sues will be tho center of the biggest
political fight in the history of the
state No matter what the outcome
of the present demand for the i'm
parchment of La Toilette by the
United states senate may be the Wis
consin loyalty legion will continue
its fight against him. At every meet
ing held under the auspices of the
legion or any of its branches in vari-
Gus parts of the slater. resolutions
will be offered demanding his resig-
nation. and II Is planned to hurl such
an avalanche of these resolutions and
petitions at him that he will at least
have to answer them. La Foliette's
friends contend that he has been mis-
represented and misuuoted in the
press and that he will meet every
issue. The loyalty legion. however.
proposes to make La Follettism the
issue for every candidate In the next
state election.

The Chicago Real Estate board is
seeking to stop the spread of the col

on the other hand, threatens a big
mass meeting of the cOIored folks in
the Coliseum, at which protection
plans will be discussed.
Meanwhile Armour, the other hog
barons, the steel trust and members
of the Illinois Manufacturers assn
are taking advantage Of the poor
Iy-paid southern negro labOrers and
are training them to take the place
of the whites, who show too much
eagerness to organize into labor
unions to satisfy Big Biz.
An official Of Armour & Co. adj
mitted not long ago that the pig
kings were hiring all the southern
negroes they could get. He made
the excuse that white labOrers we're
all going to work in munitions factO-
ries. He also revealed the infOTma-
ton that Armour & Co. had started
importing MeXicans and putting
them to work, but found they could
not get enough Of them.

IMPORTATION OF COLORED FOLKS CAUSING
RUMPUS ON THE SOUTH SIDE

RUMPUS ON II
Since Big Business began making
Chicago the dumping ground for the
negroes Of the south a small-sized
civil war has been fOmenting on the
South Side.
Over 10000 plantation negroes
have been grabbed from the cotton
fields of the south and tossed into
ChiCagO's labor mart in the past
three months Labor officials open
Iy charge an organized plot on the
part of Big Biz interests to bring
these negroes here as the opening
gun in a war on union labor.
The stoCkyards gang, headed by
Armour & Co., has shown the most
eagerness to hire these negroes. La
Dor agents have been sent through
the south talking ''stoCkyaTds' to the
southern darHes. Chicago has been
pictured as the land of FL Dorado for
the cOlOTed people.
The negroes were transported here
by carloads. They glutted the dis
trict between Goth and 35th SITS. and
State st. and La Sale st. AS many
as 25 people were herded together in
four-room flats. The better class Of
negroes, who have lived for years in
Chicago, resented this invasion.
An exodus hastily begun from the
old "black belt. Farther south and
east the Chicago negroes moved
their families. Day after day the
siIk-sOCk whites of the more exclu-
sive neighborhoods of the South Side
awoke to find a cOlOred family had
moved in next door.
The siIk-sOCks were indignant. Jim
Crow talk buzzed through the Hyde
Park, Kenwood-and WOOdlawn dis
tircts. That talk aroused the negroes
to wrath. A syndicate Of wealthy
negroes started quietly buying up
property in the best districts and
renting it out 10 people Of their own
race.

ROWLAND DIVIDES SOX-FlRST
TEAM MAY STAND
BY Mark Shields


Tomorrow the White Sox 60 into
combat with alien clubs, battling
teams of the Texas league. Here is
the way Manager Rowland has divid-
ed his forces:
Team No. I for Fl Worth-EIdred,
right field; Risberg, shortstop; Col
Inns, second base; Jackson, left field;
Felsch, center field; Gandil, first
base; Weaver, third base; SchaIk,
Mayer and Jenkins, catchers; Rus
sell, Scott, WoIfgang, Lyons and
Scheuenbach, pitchers.
Team No. 2 for Dallas - LieboId,
center field; McMullin, third base;
Haas or J. Collins, left field; Four
nier, right field; Hartford, shortstOp;
Hasbrook, first base; Terry, second
base; Gray and Lynn, catchers; Fa-
Der, Benz, Norman and AinswOrth,
pitchers.
Keep an eye on that first team. Cut
out that lineup and the probabili-
ties are you won't have to buy
score card for the opening game.
Every indication is that the team Will
be so constructed at the start of the
flag hunt.
Two new names, EIdred and Ris-
berg, appear, and these youngsters
have won their places in the face of
the keenest kind Of competition. The
obstacles Eldred has overcome have
been especially large, as Eddie Muir
ply and Memo Liebold fought him to
4 finish for the right field position.
The fact that EIdred is picked with
the first team for the exhibition
games doesn't make him a sure
starter, but he will have to fail much
in his work between now and April II
in order to be forced on the bench.
Murphy and Liebold will undoubt-
edly be retained, giving the team five
c'Itfielders of more. than ordinary
lily. Then Fourier and John

From now until the opening of the

For the past two years the South

firsts. And that means the fellows
with the second team will have no
easy time. Gleason is a driver, but
he is also fair to his players.
He has some good pitchers with
his squad, and when they are ready
they will be graduated to the first ag-

some attention to Hartford, who is a
good infield prospect.
Pickles DiIIhoefer, the young Cub
catcher, continues to belt the ball

GODS DAY.

We believe with Speaker Champ Clark that the world is growing bet ter, but let us not lose our respect for the Sabbath, cherished Ameri- can tradition. History proves such respect to be national safeguard. It stands for stability. No nation that has had reverence for Gods day has ever perished. A disregard for this as a day of rest, of quiet and worship carries with it train of license into the whole moral life of the people. Unless it be different from other days, it bellies it's name and no longer justifies it's existence.
 Strong influences have been at work to make the American Sunday day for amusements and recreations, leav- ing little time for rest and less for worship. We do not believe the best judgment of the American people will ever support the change of this holy day to holiday In New York state the day is now made the object of a concerted attack by moving picture concerns. The Supreme Court has ruled that the movies, which have been running wide open on Sundays, are violating the law. The movie men are, therefore, leaving no stone unturned to secure an amendment to the existing law eXempting the Sun day movie. They have a rich harvest every week day, but their avarice is unsuitable. Must they have our Sun days also? If the religious people of the state believe that six days of the week are enough for the movies and other professional amusements, and that Sunday should be reserved for the uses for which God intended it. they had better let their representa- tives at Albany know where they stand and give them fair warning that if they violate Gods command, they invite and will receive punishment at the ballot box.-Leslie's Weekly

IRA HART NOT GUILTY

In Squire Smiths court this morn- ing an examining trial was had in which Ira Hart was charged with lar ceny and receiving money under false pretenses. It was charged that Hart had sold a COW which did not belong to him. The proof showed that dur ing last fall Ira Hart and Marion Hart his father, were engaged in buying and selling cattle on large scale and that during the winter part of their cattle broke our and it was several days before they were collected up. It was charged that stray COW turn ed up at Wilbur Clark's residence and that Ira Hart claimed to be the owner of the COW and sold it to Clark for $30.00.
 The evidence showed that there was some question as to the ownership of the COW, and that the sale was made with the distinct understanding that there was some doubt as to the owner ship ship, and that it was agreed that the money should be refunded in case the COW should prove not to belong to Hart. The COW was found to be the property of Gus Ingram and there upon the $30O0 check was promptly returned to Clark. The court found that there was no evidence of any fraud or unfair dealing on Hart's part, but that the trade was made in good faith on Hart's part, and the court promptly discharged him.

Pretty Countess
 Becomes A SpD
"The Intrigue" is a Timely Story of a Battle of Wits for an K Ray Gun.-MOnday.

A story of plots and counterplots centering in the refusal of the United States to buy certain very powerful x-ray gun and the battle of wits by two actually warning nations to get possession of it, is "The Intrigue, produced by Pallas Pictures for the Paramount Program. This thrillingly realistic picture affords the versatile Lenore Ulrich unusual scope as she plays in turn countess, a spy, and an exceptionally charming peasant girl, demurely travelling steerage.
 When young Longstreet, the invent or, realizes that his country will not buy his wonderful gun, he immediate ly crosses to Europe where, upon ar rival at foreign court he commences negotiations for its sale. It is accept ed and Baron Rogniat is entrusted with the mission of accompanying him to America to get the finished work.
 Rumors of the invention, however, have reached the ears of rival coun- try who prevail upon the beautiful countess Sonia to go to America also to attempt to outwit the Baron and gain possession of the new gun for her own country.
 How she travels incognito, going steerage disguised as a peasant, how she overcomes all sorts of opposition and difficulties and finally overhears the Baron plotting with some fellow conspirators for the murder of the young inventor, are all steps leading to a most thrilling of climaxes.
 Tying the Baron, who realizes that he and his country have lost in this hard-fought battle of wits, securely to a chair, she makes her escape, leav- ing a wrecked Baron and a smashed up X-ray gun for a happiness which she thinks of more value than either.

A COPPER COLOSSUS

In the March American Magazine is an account of Daniel c. Jackling, who has doubled the worlds copper output and is a giant in the copper field today. He has worked so swiftly and so quietly that the public as yet is not aware of his magnitude.
 At thirty-five he was vice presi- dent and general manager of strug- gling mining company predestined, according to the unanimous verdict of expert opinion, to be a speedy, very complete and costly failure. This is rot ancient history. The mine was opened, the company organized, only twelve years ago.
 At forty he was millionaire. At forty-five he rounded the Horn in his own steam yacht. He is forty-seven today and multimillionaire. He controls the operation of four mines, all less than twelve years old, which annually produce twise as much cop per as the famous mines of Michigan put together. He acquired an unpro- ftable zinc property four years ago, lifted its output until the figures ap- preached the total zinc production of all the mines in Missouri, and made it pay fifteen million dollars in dividends during the last two years"

MUCH INTEREST
i,cing Shown Over the Plan Of Having
u Fair For This County--Many
Persons Expected to Take
Up Project.

Much interest Is being shown by the
people. OF Maysville and Mason county
concerning the project to establish a
country fair in this section and II Is
thought that there will be something
definite done along this line with
few weeks
The fair as suggested by the Ledger
would be four-day affair, to be
held in the early part of the fall. BY
this time all Of the crops have been
gathered and there would be a greater
number of exhibits of all kinds. AT
this season, the first of September, all
Cf the fairs In this section of the
state are over and thus fair in this
county would not conflict with any
others.
The annual fairs at Germantown
and Ripley would not in the least be
hurt by a fair here but the competi-
tion would only become stronger be-
tween the exhibitors. This would ma
terially help each fair
Since Mason county is one of the
leading counties in this section of the
country in the raising of fine horses
and stock of all kinds, there would be
ample exhibitions in these lines.

TURNS OVER Office
MIR. Thomas 7. Boone, Former Secre.
tary Of the Maysville Chamber Of
Commerce, Gives Full Con-
troll to Mr.. Harry G.
Grlmsley.

A meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Maysville Chamber Of Com
merce was held last night in the Of
fees Of the organization in the First
Standard Bank Building. At this
meeting Mr.. Thomas p. Boone, for
mer secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, turned in his reports of his
work during his stay in this city,
which were accepted by the Board.
He turned over the affairs of the Of
flee to Mr.. Harry c. Grimsley, who
was recently elected by the Directors
to fill the vacancy, caused by Mr..
Boones resignation Mr.. Grimsley
will have full charge of the affairs of
the body from now on.
Mr.. Boone will leave tomorrow for
Henderson, KY, where he has ac-
cepted a position as secretary of the
Business Mems Club. His family will
remain in this city for several months
During the meantime he will make
trips to this city to visit his family
He will in all probabilities return to
this city for the banquet to be given
by the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Boone was secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce in this city for
about fifteen months, coming here
from Johnson City, Tenn. During his
stay here he brought the Chamber
of Commerce to its present prosper
GUS state. He was the leader in
bringing the Gibson Garment Co. to
this city and 1t was almost entirely
through his efforts that the Tobacco
and Corn Fair was such a great sue
cess. He was always prominent in all
movements for the commercial bet
terment of the community. We wish
him the best of success in his new po-
sition.
The new secretary, Mr.. Grimsley, is
splendid young man and during his
short stay has shown to those with
whom he has come in contact that he
will be an aggressive leader and un-
der his leadership the organization will
doubtless grow to larger proportions.
The outlook for successful year is
very bright.
