The Chicago whip., 1921-05-28
A Day II, Robbins.
The mills of the Gods grind slowly
Rnt thnv Grind exceedinplv fine

But they grind exceedingly fine.
At the election in our Village this quota
tion was most beautifully illustrated. For
the past three years Might has been Right
here. We have been crushed under its
iron heel We had no redress; We writhed
and prayed in our heplessness. God in his
infinite mercy heard and answered our
prayer.
We all know there is such a thing as
man overstepping the bounds. We also
know the giving and taking of life is in
Gods hands 1t is not meet that man
should meddle and say when and for what
a human life is cut short When man in
his puny finite wisdom and reasons for
His omniscient acts, then as l have said
he has overstepped the bounds.
During the campaign which has recently
closed the fact that Honesty is the best
policy" was most forcibly brought home.
Untrue, slanderous statements were made
against the Equal Rights candidate He
acting the part of a Christian Gentleman,
never retaiated. He went quietly on in
his modest unassuming way. The venting
Of the Peoples Party splen acted as a
boomerang. 1t rebounded to their own un-
doing
If there is such a thing as those who
have passed INTO the Great Beyond knowing
what is transpirng upon this old earth,
the pioneer of the Equal Rights Party was
cognizant of the completion of his works
He. last year in his weakened physical con-
dtion, walked and talked, blazing the trail
of yesterdays victory.
The Chinese have a custom it behoyes
the people Of Robbins to emulate. | hahe
been told that when they meet friend or
any in any way rejoieed, they shake
their own instead of each others hand
think we ought to do the same now Shake
our own hands congratulating ourselves
over the fact that at last we have a man
in the chair who can at least do his own
taking 1t will not be in the future as
in the past that all public occasions
when a speech is made that the orator will
be one from Chicago or Harvey. Mr.
Robt L, Bryant, President of the Village
of Robbins, has proved beyond doubt that
he is a silver tongued orator.
Another reason for rejoicing is the pres
ident has said he extends a most cordial
Invitation to the people of Robbins, friend
or foe. to visit all meetings Of the Council.
There will be no more conducting the Vii
lage business in a corner. In other words
we will be allowed to see the wheels go
round He also says any suggestion made
for the improvement of the Village or the
interest of the people shall be gladly
listened to. Any petition which shall be
properly gotten up shall be given all due
consideration.
In Union there is strength knowing the
truth of this makes us satisfied when we
look at the men who are Mr.. Bryants
helpers. When think of the Trustees
who were elected we know there will be
peace and harmony in the council. The
Trustees are of sterling worth doing
the fight as God gives them power to know
the right. For the first time in Robbins
the people can sit back in ease knowing
that only the things which are for their
good will be done in the Council Mr.
nryant has adopted for his motto the Gold
en- Rule, to do unto others only such things
as he would like to have others do unto him
We the people of Robbins, knowing this
pray Gods choicest blessings to rest upon
him. VIM. Hale Thompson political club
was organized among the men. A speaker
from Chicago headquarters will speak at
Hughes Hall. Saturday night. May 2S. The
public is cordially invited The women OF
Robbins have organized a Women's VIM.

ident. Mr.. r. H. Bryant held his first
