SUING CITY FOR LOSS
OF HIS sweetheart
OVER 20 YEARS AGO
Ry the A.so,clated Press.


CHICAGO, March 30.-More than
twenty years ago Erick Nordstrom
lost his sweetheart and sued the
city of Chicago for damages. Yes
terday another suit for $4,000. an
outgrowth of the old case. was re-
corded in Nordstrom's name against
the city.
In the early nineties Mathilde
Svenson came to the United States
from Sweden. Erick loved her.
His suit was lost, he alleged, when
a city detective circulated false
stories about him and Mathilde
married another.
Nordstrom sued the detective and
the city for $4,000. G. B. Swift,
then mayor. agreed to pay the sum
II the suit were dropped, Nord-
strom claimed, but never did. In
1914 Erick again sued the city. this
time for $4,000. but nothing came
of 1t, and now he has sued again.
In the intervening years Nord-
strom has filed some thirty suits
against individuals and corpora
tions, and actually won some OF
them.
Mathllde long since has faded

LIQUOR QUESTION NOT DEAD.

Prohibition is to be an issue again
this year. according to consensus ..
opinion among the leading papers Oh
the country.
In several states avowedly wet
candidates are already seeking NOM
nation ON party tickets for import
ant offices. as for instance Gov. Ed
wards of New Jersey is democratic
candidate fir United States senator on
wet" platform.
Here in the west 1t is hard to De-
lieve that any opponent of prohibition
could win a public office, but 1t is
claimed that conditions in the larger
eastern states are very different. Sen
timent against the volstead act in
New York. Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Wisconsin and Indiana is said to De
strong and growing. This may or may
not be true, but it would appear that
prohibition is less popular in those
states than on this coast.
The very great difficulties in the
strict enforcement of the law has Gre
ated doubts in the minds OF many
even in the western states that the
present laws have definitely solved
the problem, but that does not mean,
by any means, that there is a chance
for LIQUOR to be voted in again in any
of these coast states this year.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
KLU KLUX KLEAGLE SPEAKS.

The Gazette recently published an
editorial in condemnation of the Klu
Klux Khan, characterizing it as un-
American and a menace to free gov
eminent. That editorial was written
after the editor had read the pamph-
lets issued by that society setting
forth its objects and purposes, con-
stitution and bylaws, it's composition
and its history. The opposition of this
paper is not based on published re-
ports of the activities of the khan but
on the firm conviction that any secret
organization that assumes to censor
the morals and the actions of it's fell
low men; that proposes to dictate the
manner in which laws of the state
shall be executed; that pretends to a
higher patriotism than it will grant to
the vast numbers of citizens which it
excludes from membership because of
| race, color or creed; that undertakes
to set up an order foreign to the spirit
Of democracy; that strives to graft on
to democratic ideal Of social rela-
tons an aristocratic idea of distinc-
| ton, and which is fundamentally
founded on unworthy and dangerous
prejudices; that any order SO formed.
and so motved is antagonistic to and
subversive Of popular government and
is wholly unAmerican regardless of
| how fair and high sounding may be
its professions and creed and publish
| ed propaganda.
| For these reasons the editorial re-
ferred to was written, and others of
like import will be written as occas-
ion arises. But. while the Gazette be-
lieves the Klu Klux Khan idea is men,
acing to all that we cherish in this
country in the way of freedom of
press, speech and conscience, without
which free popular government can
not exist, we are as fully convinced
hat it will ultimately meet the same
fate that has befallen like attempts to
obtain and hold political power

Its order by the board or the Tying up
of railway transportation throughout
the country by a walkout.
There can be no denial or the propo-
sition that a man may refuse 10 WORK
n wages and conditions are unaccep-
,oh,e to him. And In this country a
man cannot be compelled by legal ac-
ton TO work against his Will.
Therefore, the possibility OF a ma
tion wide railway strike seems immi-
nent for there is no probability that
tho railway labor board will reverse
its findings and progress OF voting
among the employees is said to snow
an overwhelming sentiment In favor
of walk out.
The railway labor board is legally
created tribunal formed for the pur-
nose of determining wages and condl-
tions of work. The decision OF the
board in the matter OF wage cuts was
made after investigation and the tax
ing of a mass evidence relative TO
living costs and the comparative pur-
chasing power of the present wage and
wages paid prior to the war. The de-
cision was not unanimous. Six OF the
MANNERS. representing the roads and
the public. voted for the reduction and
three. representing the employees, re-
ported against cut.
Now the question is, can the board
make it's decision effective?
If it cannot, it will mean that gvern-
ment regulation is a futile thing.
In any event, the controversy be-
tween the board and the unions shows
clearly what this country may expect
in the event that government owner
ship of railway transportation should
ever be instituted.
In the meantime the public has a
most vital interest at stake which 1t is
the duty of government to protect
The mails must continue to be deliv-
cred and food stuffs must be carried.
This is time when practically ev-
cry one is taking a cut in income,
whether on a salary or in business for
himself. No one likes to have his in
come reduced and as rule the public
sympathizes with the argument that
wages should not be lowered. But
there is a feeling that conditions can
| not be ignored to maintain wages for
once class of workers at the expense
of practically all classes of people
