Mr.. Holmes was born at Fairlee,
Vermont, December II, 1867; was

father, were both conductors on the
underground railroad back in Yer
mont. Their home was one of the
underground railroad stations and
they assisted many runaway slaves
to make their escape, over into Can
ada where they became freeman.
Mr.. Holmes himself, has always
been friendly disposed to the Colored
race; he spent all day last Monday, in
assisting to welcome home the "Old
Fighting Eighth Regiment" and beat
the writer, in arriving at the La Sale
Street station, to see them arrive;
every Colored man, in this
city, should feel; that they are highly
honoring themselves, by recording
their votes, in favor of his nomina-

GAS USERS VIcTIMIZED.
Many Complaints of High Gas Bills
Are Due to Operators of Petty
SwindIe.

Petty swindlers are taking advan-
tage of political attacks on the gas
company to market gas burner that
breeds trouble for consumer and gas
company. The gas companY's invest
igators find that thousands of these
wasteful burners have been sold in
Chicago this winter and are the cause
of a large part of the complaints
about high gas bills.
Heres the way to get ahead of
the gas company" the smooth talking
salesman tells the housewife, as he
goes from door to door in the older
residence districts, where gas is still
used for lighting. Then he shows her
the big burner that looks like the
ordinary tip but is much larger, puts
it on a gas Jet in place of the ordi-
nary tip and shows her the big fame
it makes.
"You see," he adds, at takes the
place of that small tip and doesn't
burn any more gas, but gives you a
lot more light"
Then he collects fifteen cents-a
quarter-half dollar-anything he
can talk the housewife out of-for
showing her chow to get ahead of
the gas company"
When the purchaser of the sum
DO" burner gets her next gas bill and
finds it has jumped up a dollar or so,
she blames the gas company, and not
the smooth salesman.
As a matter of fact, the Jumbo"
burner uses up more than three times
as much gas as the ordinary open
flame tip. 1t burns six times as much
gas as the Junior" incandescent man.

for only fifteen cents), and gives

admit that De Priest did nothing fol
his race while in Office by refusing
to tell what he did. II he had done
anything in Office. De Priest would
not fail to have it published. Fol
since he has been out of Office he has
not only published what he has done
and magnifed it many times, but he
has claimed everything possible which
anybody else has done. For example,
he claims credit for the six (6) places
in the Recorders Office which were
secured by Attorney A. L. Williams
long before De Priest allied himself
with the Deneen faction. But suppose
that it were true that he has done
many of the things which he an
nounces in his unofficial record, then
he has done more out of Office than
in. The most ordinary sense, there
fore, would dictate that it is better
for the race to keep him out Of Office
where his published record shows he
at least tried to do something for
his race, a thing of which he never
thought while he was Alderman as
shown by his record.
The De Pfiea Circular.
Although De Priest gives us no
circular of his official record, he was
good enough to publish what he calls
his unofficial record. In fact he has
given US second and revised edition
of this unofficial record. In both of
these editions he tells us that he dis
himself in the City Coun-
ell, yet he failed to disclose in what
he became distinguished. / must con-
fess that when he left the City Coun-
ell, he was certainly distinguished.
This is one time when he used the
proper word in the right place. His
name was sent around the world un-

NEW ISSUES IN ALDERMANIc
CAMPAIGN.

From the Second Ward Republican
Headquarters, Alderman Louis B.
Anderson issues the following vigor-
Gus statement for the consideration
of the voters. Among other things
he said:
''Mr. De Priest and myself have
eSch served two years in the City
Council. While there we both made
a record. He says that he is running
upon his and I know I shall stand on
mine. / have published for the in
formation of the voters the main facts
in my record. Thus far De Priest
has never published the high marks
in his Council record. ask the voters
why? Can a man run for Office upon
a record which he refuses to dis
close? An examination into that rec
ord viii show why De Priest has never
attempted to give his record in the
City Council. During his two years,
nineteen (19) places were given to
the Second Ward. De Priest did not
secure one Of them for our race, al
though he went into Office when the
Thompson administration began with
all the city patronage. De Priest was
satisfied to let Alderman Norris have
all the patronage. In doing this De |
Priest sacrificed his race in Office for |
his own personal gain and selfish in
terest.

Travellers, Prospects Gloomy.

A man who has just returned from
New York and general eastern trip
wants us to advise all others to stay
at home and fight the high cost of
living. He paid one dollar for two
soft boiled eggs and dish of oat
meal for breakfast cost him sixty
cents without cream or milk and
ninety cents with it. He went into
one hotel, his first experience, with
out thinking, and ordered the ordi-
nary things, toast, coffee, cereal
and some orange juice and when he
got the bill it amounted to 1925.
After that he found out the price be-
fore he ordered In many railroad
Offices he was told that no lower
berths or chairs in day trains were
left but he found in many cases that
a tip to the conductor or porter brot
ont what he wanted, and they seem
ed to be in conspiracy to get the tip.
The conductors and porters seemed
to be carrying in their pockets the
tickets which were supposed to be in
the ticket Offices. He said he was not
permitted to turn around without
paying some one for the right to do
SO, and if the payment was not in
proportion to the present conditions
they growled. AS far as attention
and services were concerned no one
seemed to care whether they were
given after they were paid for it
go to the demnition bow-wows"
seemed to be the mental attitude of
every railroad and hotel employe
unless he was paid for doing some
thing.
With such a picture before one,
the wonder is there is so much travel
but the travelling public seems to be
of the same mind, they don't care
either what happens.-Cedar Rap
