CHICAGO REFLECTS
MAYOR THOMPSON
He Had Plurality Of 10000
Over His Nearest
Opponent.

CHGAGO, April 2--MaMyor VIII
Ham Hale Thompson republican, was
reelected IN one Of the most exciting
political struggles the city ever wit
nesSed, the complete unofficial returns
indicating that his plurality would be
"a the neighbO rhood OF 1900. HIS
nearest opponent was Robert NJ. SWEET
zer, democrat, county clerk, whom the
mayor defeated four years ago by a
plurality OF more than $1,000. Much OF
the hSg vote Of the mayor received
four years ago, but lost today went TO
States Attorney Maclay Hoyne, a
democrat who ran as an Independent
~ petition. Thompson's vote was
257,sss and Sweitber's 24O,2SS.
The election in which six candidates
ran for mayor, fell on an ideal day ana
the total vote cast was estimated at
about 100000.
The city voted wet by a sweeping
majority, the first time the question
had been voted on in Chicago. the
liduOr interests made campaign Das'
ga On the slogan Let Congress hear
your protest" The vote was three to
one Or better favoring saloons. the
Dry Chicago Federation made no con-
certed effort, relying on national leg
isiation. The wet and dry question
vent on the ballot by order Of the state
supreme court which found that the
dry petition had been Kept off the bal
lot Illegally at the preceding city cleo
lions.
Virtually all interested in the cleo
ton was centered in the mayorailty
tight, although other city officers in
GLIDING one alderman from each OF the
IS wards was elected.
The mayor made his campaign on
his record in office and on pleas for
republican party support on the ba-
sis Of national party lines. His priuci-
pal opponent, Switzer and Hoyne, the
8 Independent, both severely criticised
the may or and referred to 'Thomp'
sontsm" and his war record. The
mayors reference to Chicago as the
sixth German city" hisrefusal to issue
an invitation as mayor to Marshal Jof-
fFe, of France and his promise of po-
lice protection to gathering Of mem
bers OF the Peoples Council for dem
ocrpcy and terms Of peace, were urg-
4 ed against the mayor by his opponents.
r The campaign was filled with spec
faeles arranged by managers Of the
Thompson, Sweitzer and Hoyne man
ayers, for down town street and public
buildings.
a labor part twas in the field for
the first time with John Fitzpatrick,
president OF the Chicago Federation of
Labor, as mayoral candidate, who fin
ished Ia fourth place, trailing Hoyne,
the Independent. Hoyne polled about
: 100000 votes which was less than half
of that received by each Of the two
leading contenders. Fitzpatrick poll
cd more than $4,000 ont of labor un.
ion membership of 100000 and issued
a statement that "the labor party had
{ established itself"
The other mayoral candidates were
John M. Collins socialist, who polled
nearly as many votes as the socialist
candidate received four years ago.
Last in the list was Adolph earns
socialist labor, who polled fewer than
1000 votes.

White School Leads
in Sales Of W. s. s,

The White school is making the
best record in sale Of thrift and war
savings stamps for 1919. Nine hun
bred and forty-six dollars and twenty
five cents worth have been sold.
Eighty-one pupils have bought for the
first time in the past week. Teachers
and principal are trying to teach thrift
and economy, in the schools-how to
take care Of their school supplies,
books and other school possessions.
An endeavor is being made to cut
down the amount OF money spent on
candy, gum, soda water and ice cream.
One evidence Of the effect Of this teach
ing is in the amount of thrift and war
saving stamps these pupils possess.

With the Lid On

Editorial in the Omaha World Herald.
Personal liberty" once upon time
was grand old rallying cry. 1t was
looked upon as one Of democracy's cor
nerstones. 1t was priced possession.
It was something men had fought and
died for something they would not
willingly surrender.
And then, within the last genera
tion, indeed within the last decade or
so, It fell suddenly and violently into
disrepute. Those who admitted them
selves to be the very bests citizens as
sailed it openly. Those who essayed
to stand up for this precious heritage
handed down by the fathers were vio-
lently branded as nothing better than
stools and dupes of the brewers" At
the best they were looked upon with
suspicion It came to be the fashion
to suspect liberty of being a bad and
dangerous doctrine. 1t was a doctrine
involved by weak-willed and evil-mind-
ed men who wanted to go to perdi-
ton in their own way. 1t stood in
the way of making over human nature
by legislating morality and good hab-
its and clean consciences into mankind.
Even most of those who were It's
friends by intelligent conviction timid
about publicly defending it. So it
slid, as down creased incline, from
the very top to the very bottom of
our list of priced national ideals. Ma
lingering for few short years, it died
at last a natural death with the adop-
ton of the constitutional amendment
decreeing total abstinence to be the |
settled rule for the government of all
American citizens. True it is rule
not to be applied in it's early stages
to those so fortunate as to be able |
to stock their cellars, but even the
best stocked and best guarded cellar,
unless one chooses to live as a hermit
in wilderness, will soon peter out.
After that. Sahara. And for the com
mon mill-run of people, who could not
afford to buy in advance, and who
could not pay bootleggar prices, it has
been Sahara from the jump off, with
wartime prohibition and state prohibit
ton paving the way. Now we are
waiting impotiently for the millennium

1T CAN BE CURED!

tuberculosis can be cured il it is
taken care of in time. Never use me-
dicines. They cannot cure tuberculo-
sis and they only delay your chances
for recovery. The longer tuberculosis
is in the body, the harder it IS to ar
rest. Early signs of tuberculosis of
ten are: loss of weight, loss of
strength, lack of appetite, and lit
tie fever every day, especially in the
afternoon and evening. If any child or
grown person shows these signs, a doc
tor should be consulted at once to see
whether or not there is tuberculosis
present in that person. A cough caus-
ed by tuberculosis of the lungs, or tile
presence of tubercle bacilli found IN
the discharge, shows that the disease
is well advanced. In its earlies, srag-
es tuberculosis can be arrested. Wnsn
advanced it is practically mcinable.
A competent physician can sooa recog-
nize this disease before there are any
bacilli in the sputum. Sunlight Kills
tuberculosis germs outside of the hu-
man body. and helps a tuberculosis
person to fight the disease. Fresh air
is absolutely necessary to arrest tub
erculosEs. A tuberculosis person
should live out of doors day and night.
Good foods, such as clean milk, beef
steak, fresh eggs in abundance, bread
and butter, are necessary for tuber-
culosis person. He should not work,
except under the doctors orders. Rest
is as necessary to recovery as are food
and fresh air.-Michigan Public

WHY THE PEOPLE CELEBRATED.

The citizens OF Pomeroy, Iowa, last
week held the biggest celebration in
the history of that town. The cele-
bration, marked the receipt of the
news that the United States supreme
court had refused to reverse the
lower court, which found a minister
of that place guilty of dAloyalty. He
was sentenced to five years in prison
for having made The following state
ments from the pulpit: ''This war in
which America is engaged is for the
capitalists only and the Liberty bond
is a great humbug; by buying Liber-
ty bonds you buy yourselves deeper
into slavery. America has no right

/ has the temerity to tell us that the
"foisting of prohibition upon the Unit
ed States was blunder charged with
danger and loaded with disastrous pos
sibilities." He charges it with large
share of the responsibility for the pre-
valent unrest. 1t has upset the work
! ingman; unsettled him. The uproot-
ing of one habit has uprooted others.
The convivial and jovial human ami
NAL has taken on a crouch. He is
vastly discontented. He goes out to
meet others equally grouchy, "they rub
their grievances and there are sparks,
sometimes fire." This leader of Amer
ican labor goes so far as to declare:
81 believe Bolshevism in Russia began
| in prohibition"
Whatever else may be said of Com
pers, nobody will charge him with be-
ing a tool of the brewers or of any
other set of capitalists. But he may
reasonably be charged with having
jumped to premature conclusions and
having formed hastily judgment. 1t
is bit early yet to say what the re-
suits of prohibition are, or will be.
The ferment is still too active. We
must wait for its settling-if ever it
does settle.
But one thing we may realize now
better than we could in the heat of the
fight. National prohibition is the most
radical and far-reaching experiment
ever undertaken by the American peo-
pie 1t represented the triumph of
moral reform gained by beating down
great political principle. 1t sought
to uproot one of the most deep-rooted
and settled habits of the race 1t was
repressive legislation as drastic as
could be imagined. 1t was invoked
for the laudable purpose of making
men healthier and better and licher
and happier even though by compul-
sion and against their will.
1t remains to be seen whether it will
in fact work that way. We must al
hope that it will, because We nave it,
we are obliged to live with It, and we
can't very well get rid of lc
1t may be, though, that democracles
will have to learn the same lesson that
despotisms have learned: That too
much repressive legislation is danger
Gus; that in the end it simply won't
work; that it will result in explosion
an explosion due to the weakness and
defects, and in part also to the strength
and virtue, that are alike inherent IN
human nature. We know, of course,
that if we put water in boiler, and
jam the lid down tight, and hang a
heavy weight on the safety valve,
and keep piling up the fuel under it,
something unpleasant is going to hap
pen to that boiler. Perhaps Samuel
Gompers thinks that distracted hu-
manity is in somewhat the same con-
dition and that it was foolish to close
the safety valve Perhaps he thinks
deeper than that and sees that per-
sonal liberty, dispised though it came
to be in its enjoyment and misuse, is
still thing rebelliously cherished by
the human heart once it is given up OF
taken away.

Prom single death from tuberculo-

Minnesota last year of $24,00O,000.
There are $1,000 active cases of
tuberculosis in Minnesota to-day. Of
these, 5000 are men and women who
should be residents of sanatoria, and
more than $500 are children who
should have hospital care. But
Minnesota's Is tuberculosis hospitals
have total bed capacity of but 1,050.
That means that there are approx
