the beer and the free lunch counter,
the major would regale them with

Protection Won the War.

The time has come to call a halt
upon attacks on business for pri-
vate or political gain. The time has
come to remind the political pro-
hteer that the methods of business
men which were denounced and out
lawed by the politicians have been
adopted and applied by the Admin
tstration as the only successful way
of conducting great enterprises and
meeting the emergencies of the war.
II we have become a great indus
trial power since 1860 it is because
we have been permitted to organize
great industries and build up great
corporations. Many thought that
these great organizations were a
menace to the people; that they
preyed upon society and trampIed it
under foot But this war has shown
that these large business combina-
tions have served a most useful
puFpese: that they have developed
an invincible army of sturdy and
skillful men and an organizing gen
ius and leadership that have made
America a supreme factor in this
war.-President Dowse, of the Home
Market Club, in Leslie's.

Washington brewer, was in the party
and suggested to Cunningham that
he could procure a cannon at the
Schuetzen Park, away out on the
Seventh street road near Brightwood
At that time German festivals were
held at the park several times each
year and were attended by large
crowds. At the main gate of the park
were two venerable muzzle-loading
cannon that had been used in the war
with Mexico in 1S47. The ancient
guns had been doing ornamental
guard duty at the gate for many
years. in sunshine and rain, sleet and

had collected while searching for a

one of the cannon. In order to get
