THE DEFEAT OF ESCfI,

Labor's defeat of Congressman Esch
in the Wisconsin primaries is a dis
tinct feature of the A. F. of L. non.
partisan campaign.
Congressman Each has represented
the Lacrosse district continuously fol-
20 years. Two years ago he was re.
elected by 10000 majority over two
other candidates, and as chairman of
the house interstate and foreign com.
merce committee he is credited in the
popular mind with being co.author of
the Cummins- Esch railroad bill.
His candidacy in the recent primar,
les centered on this legislation and. he
insisted that the law was the best pos
sible, but labor in that district is non
partisan and therefore wanted facts. AS
result Mr.. Esch will retire to private
life when the present congress ends
next March.
Other candidates who defend this law
are telling their audiences that IT will
look you square in the eye and declare
that this is the best legislation that
was ever passed. This statement is
an heroic gesture, but it is neither argu-
ment nor fact. It is suited for the
days when psrtisanship was rampant,
when the labor vote was delivered in
many sections Of tho country, the pass
ing Of which seems to be deplored by
those who declare "Gompers is trying
to deliver tho labor vote,' when he
and other trade unionists urge non
partisanship to stop the delivery of
labor's vote.
The defeat of Congressman Esch and
the cheap drama defense Of the railroad
act recalls speech by Congressman
Sanders Of Louisiana when the bill was
before the house Of representatives. for
final passage. The house had previously
refused to accept the Cummins bill,
passed by the senate, and the senate
had rejected the Esch bill, passed by
the house. This situation forced both
bills into conference, where eonferees
representing both branches of congress
secretly adjusted differences.
Forty'eight hours before the house
was called upon to vote on the confer.
ence report it was made public. In
refusing to vote for the new bill, Con-
gresham Sanders said there was moth
ing; left Of the Cummins and the Esch
bills but the titles. He declared that
there was not member Of the house
OF representatives, save possibly its
members Of the conference, who under.
stood the report, and that it was ply,
sical impossibility to intelligently digest
the 12o pages of the report between
the time it was made public and the
hour for final vote.
1.-The study that + have bee n able
to give to the report,' said the Louis
lana law maker, "conyinces me that
1t is bad and, therefore; + am going to
vote against it because the sections
that [ have studied, sections that I do
understand, convince me that it has
not been written in the interest Of the
llo,ooo,o0o people Of America"
Congressman Sanders statement
shows how this legislation was rushed
through congress, with the people
whipped to a frenzy by special privi-
lege and its defenders, who we'll know
that their prosperity depends upon
blind partisanship and a careless elec-
torate.

The Senior Class will present Oscar
Wilde's drama, Lady Windemere's
Fam" on class night, Monday, June Z,
at The Strand The play is one Of
the best modern English dramas, and
it is particularly fitting that the
Seniors should give production OF
such literary merit.
1t is. of course, impossible to give
such production without expending
great deal of time and effort. and
the class has worked very hard to
master the play.
Lady Windemere's Fan" is not
only entertaining; it is not only
scintillating with wit, humor, and
epigram but it carries serious mes
sage to the society of today, expos
ing some Of the shams, and showing
the truth about conditions. No one
should miss the opportunity of seeing
such a production.
The cast of characters is:

KIDNAPPED BOY
LOCKED In HOTEL
Son of Lexington Capitalist,
E. R. Little, Held for RAN
som, Found.
RANSOM MONEY REJECTED

Lexington, Ky, March 26.-Paul
Little, II year old son of E. R. Little,
Lexington capitalist who has been
held for ransom by kidnappers, was
found this morning locked in a room
at a local hotel.
The kidnapper of his son, having
last night refused to take the de-
manded ransom, E. r. Little, Lex
ington capitalist, sought other means
today to have his son returned. The
father placed in a garbage can
money supposed to be $4,000 at 80
o'clock last night. Returning alone
about half an hour later Mr.. Little
found the money had been I'M
touched. A note received Wednesday
night shortly after the boys disap-
pearance with an unidentified man,
is said to have demanded ransom or
the boy would be killed.
1t is believed that the kidnapper
failed to call for the ransom because
OF a fear that Mr.. Little might have
double crossed" him by having off,
GERS nearby to arrest him Little,
however. carried out all conditions
prescribed by the abductor.
The boy escaped from his cap
tors at. Z o'clock this morning. He
had been locked up for more than
forty eight hours in a bathroom ad-
joining bed room of the Phoenix
hotel.
This morning his jaiers left the
room with the bathroom door I'M
locked. The boy crept out and
seized the telephone. He called his
home and a few minutes later his
father, accompanied by Chief of Po-
lice j. j. Reagan and a squad of
policemen, broke down the door. The
boy leaped into his father arms.
I'm All Right, Daddy.
I'm all right, daddy" he cried.
Don't weep any more" Chief Rea-
gan Immediately gave orders to his
men to comb the city for the kid
nappers. The boy gave an excellent
description of the men and their ar
rest was thought to be a matter Of
few hours.
Z The boy said he had been held in
the hotel room ever since his dis
appearance Wednesday afternoon.
His captors warned him if he
screamed his throat would be cut.
He had been lured from his home by
the promise of candy.
Telephoned His Father.
- But this morning, through a bit of
carelessness, the key to the bath
room was not turned. The boy heard
the outer door close and locked. He
waited until he thought the men had
left the hotel and then made his way
cautiously to the telephone. He
whispered the number of his home.
His father answered. Then the boy
returned to the bathroom, his heart
beating violently.
The next thing he remembered,
there came a series of smashing
blows leading to the hallway.
AS the door came down, the boy
sprang out and was clasped to his
fathers breast
