POOR OLD ILLINOIS.

The Chicago Tribune recently report
ed Senator James Hamilton Lewis
as saying that he had received
several kilograms from residents Of
East st. Louis requesting him to urge
the Federal Government not to meddle
in the riot situation. Mr.. Lewis in re.
ply said that he would protest against
any effort Of the Federal Government
to move In the matter The Negroes
behind them" he said.
Wen, why should not the govern.
ment be behind them? II the state
authorities cannot protect the lives
and property OF Its citizens whether
white or colored, or Is unwilling to do
co. why should not the government
assume that duty? That Is what We
are at war with Germany for. After
several hundred Americans had been
murdered by Germany on the high
seas. after American armed ships car.
Tying the American flag had been sunk
our government decided to get behind
the American people and save their
lives and property from further dc.
struction and incidentally to save their
liberties along with the Declaration Of
Independence.
Yet Lewis for the sake Of n few
votes in East ST. Louis would not
have tho government get behind the
negroes to save their lives and prop
crty. Think Of that in the state Of
Abraham Lincoln and owen L.ovcjoy-
In the long run this shallow, self
seeking side stepping mountebank will
hit the sub cellar of obscurity where
he belongs but meanwhile the citizens
of Illinois who elected him in a mo.
ment Of mentral abstraction are en-.
titled to some degree Of sympathy. A
state that holds Lewis and Mayor
Thompson must be endowed with
much patient endurance.

WHERE 90 THEY GET IT?

Since Former Senator W. A. Clark il
known as Montanan who think
straight and is not led off on tangent
by runOrs, we think II worth Will
to reprint his comment on the frequen
reports of the connection between til,
l. W. w. and the government o
Germany. Senator Clark who is il
Los Angeles. had this to say in /:
interview:
y am quite positive that all this
trouble the mine interests have
been having with labor is due to
the Vaccinations of German
agents in this country. Every
thing indicates that some outside
influence has stimulated the !. w.
w. and that they are aided by
money and keenest minds.
Copper is essential to the allies,
and II the supply We're cut off 1t
would be very disastrous to Amer
icN as ii is, the series of strikes
has greatly reduced the output
and several large producers. such
as the Globe mines in Arizona,
are stu closed.
Il know that the secret service
men are hard at work on this con-
spiracy and that the government
is thoroughly aroused to action.
Il notice that senator in
Washington recently facetiously
remarked something to- the effect
that the American people have
gone daffy about German spies
That was a very i'll advised state

all manner of hindcring contro-

When great industrial strikes have

WINS WAR MEDAL

A former La Sale county boy. at
one time a clerk in a Mendoza cloth
ing store, whose parents reside in
Colorado, has received high honGrs in
France, according To the following
from the Press of his home city:
From a letter received by Mr.. and
Mrs j. Fl. Dix from their son, Alvah
who Is serving with the British force
in France, we note that he has been
awarded the military medal for bray
cry in action He won il when the
Canadians were taking Vimy Ridge
His officer was wounded and he took
command with splendid credit to him
self. He and his men took charge of
four big guns and utterly broke up the
German attack The medal is not Civ
en- to many men and therefore is very
highly priced It is a red, white and
blue ribbon with a medal suspended
This is generally worn on dress occa-
sions. He also received very nice
letter Of commentator from his com
handing general and writes that he
has received his officers commission. +"
This goes to show the spirit that is
exhibited by our American boys and
when the returns come in from the
front when the men who are now in
France get into action there will be
more of these same stories Of herOism
and gallant action as was exhibited by
Mr. Dix. Ills friends justly feel very
proud Of him.
