walter A. Rcsen6eld, Rock L.!
1end. chairman 81 the state RApub-
fcan committees. fnteryfsueA "
Pafke Brown, for The Chicago
tribune, who y writing & series II
articles on the effect Of tie present
sfYikes upon the fall elections,
states that In his opinion industrial
djoputes are always non-political
Al the Republican party cannot be
he'd responsible for the Present
situation.
The interview with Mr.. Rosen-
field was BY mail and coinciden-
tally with the arrival Of his state
ment, a letter was received from
Thomas F. Donavan. chairman OF
the state Democratic committee.
HIS attitude Is that the vote this
fsll will be materially affected by
ne strikes, and that labor is bitter
n disappointed with the present
tate and federal administrations
md will demonstrate It ct the cleo
TONS.
Mr.. Rosenneld said:
The strikes are the result of
long standing differences between
tho men representing the stock
holders and those representing the
wage earners, and are not the fault
Of the party in power, although the
Democrats may attempt to saddle
the responsibility ON US.
They search for paramount is
sues' for the purpose Of securing
votes, and forget them when land
~ they win. As their leader, Mr..
Wilson, said, "A platform is not a
policy So the Democrats in their
desperation may try to capitalize
the strike.
Strike n-PoIitical
Industrial disputes are always
non-political. Public opinion will
name the winner, and it will have
no bad effect upon the Republican
party. The voters-men and wom-
en- realize the country Is more
prosperous, has better leadership
a program OF progress, and is in
safer hands under Republican rule
"The strikes, coming just wher
the country Is returning to norma
conditions, are to be deplored. The
Republicans are just beginning tt
see the light, after the maze. Of mis-
4 management, and must work hard
er to put their house in order. Tn,
people realize this. and Illinois viii
show the usual Republican major
ity in November"
Chairman Donavan believes tina
several" Illinois Republicans VIII
went into congress with the bi,
sweep two years ago will be un
seated by the voters. While depre
eating consideration of political ad
4 vantage in such vital matters, b
contends that the Democratic par
ty will reap the benefits of the dis
satisfaction Of which strikes are
manifestation.
1t is his contention that the "at
titude Of labor generally as mani
tested by strikes indicates that tn,
homogeneous and discardant ele
nents of the country who wer
persuaded to vote the Republican
ticket in 1920 are bitterly disap
pointed" As result it is hi

the political situation in Il1inoi
will be achieved this fall

written by Sam Hill. the democratic
candidate for congress, to his repub-

ed with the gentlemen know that Mr..
Hill would be nothing else but cour-
teous in his intercourse or CORES
pondence with any man requesting
the privilege of having stenographer

Banner, by accident, no doubt, over
looked Mr.. Webster's reply to Mr.. Hill
which was couched in just as cour-
teous language as expressed by Mr..

HE WHO LIVES IN A GLASS HOUSE

1t takes sugar to catcn flies and the
oily voice of the demagOgue to eaten
the voter. There is typical dema-
gogue now running in this state for
United States senator in the person
of c. c. Dill. To hear him talk, one
not knowing his system would be lead
to believe that he was the very embodi-
ment Of human virtue: that he was
purity undef1led. Mr.. Dill hates the
shortcomings OF others because ne Is
so far above all others In every at
tribute that makes for the perfect man
i'm his own estimation. Senator New
berry is his chief bette noire. He weeps
crocodile tears over the crime Mr..
Newberry committed by his excessive
expenses in securing his nomination
and election to the senate. He whip
saws Mr.. Newberry from the stump,
and flags Mr.. Poindexter for having
voted to seat the recreant Michigander
1t fairly breaks Mr.. Dill's heart that
any man snould prostitute himself to
7, deceive the poor common people. But
is this saint in the cloak OF Mephisto-
pheles wholly without stain In the
matter of employing deception? Would
he sell himself for a cause that he felt
at heart, and acknowledges would be
detrimental to the public at Target
Would he? =
When the so-called Plumb plan fol
the reorganization of the railroads
practically putting the transportation
lines into the hands of the employees
was prominently before the public
at Q time when Mr.. Dill was holding
the office of congressman, Mr.. Dill
went out on the by-ways and highways
, advocating that plan. Since then, In
his reported speeches, he has openly
stated that he did not favor the plan
but took up the cause Of the propon.
ents of the proposed measure for q
retainer fee, for consideration, thus
selling his influence as a public Off.
cial for measure that he really con.
sidered obnoxious and impracticaDle
excusing his action by stating that a
lawyer could be employed on any side
of case, and he was acting in the
capacity of lawyer. At least all
knew for time he was supporting the
Plumb plan, and his explanation OF
how he came to do so and the fact that
he was not personally in sympathy
with the object and his apology for his
attitude has been reported in public
print. Ye gods; think of this man

HAS WONDERFUL POWER.
Youne Venetian Gir1 is able to Locate
Oil and Water.

Augusta Del Rio Luogo, a beautiful
young girl of Venice is looking for
ward to a period of profitable and
pleasant employment, says Rome,
Italy, dispatch. Italy is particularly
interested just now to two things, the
location of petroleum, for all the
world wants oil, and the finding OF
water, for the drought Of the past two
summers is said to be but the be-
ginning Of a long dry spell. To Au-
gusta Del Rio Luogo is ascribed the
ability to locate the deposit, within
the earth, of both oil and water, and
her successes have been so remark
able that her services are being
sought by companies interested in oil
production in and irrigation.
Augusta first noticed the ability
when a. child. When walking into the
country she would notice little shocks
passing from her feet to her head,
causing distinct pain. In 1909 she
met famous water diver. Chiabrers
and found that his diving rod acted
as we'll for her as it did for him. A
wear later she went to Argentina and
making use of her power, indicated a
number of places where water would
be found, sometime, at a depth OF GU
feet. III each case water was found
but in some instances it turned out te
be salt.
Back in Italy after thewar Augusta
in the presence of two engineers, has
located not only water, but petroleum
and deposits of pyrities. She no long
er uses the divining rod, but chro
nometer. It is said that thus equipped
she can tell with remarkable accuracy
the depth at which water will be dis
covered and whether it is scanty OF
abundant.

Clansn1an Hero
Sleeps in York

York, Oct. 28.-The death day
or two ago near York of Hose Nor
man, the original of the character OF
that name in Thomas Dixon's stirring
novel, The Leopard's Spots," has
served to remind York people that
Col. Leroy McAfee, the original OF
the Little Colonel hero of Dixon's
"The Clansmen," sleeps in an un'
marked grave in Rose Hill cemetery
here Colonel McAfee, gallant Con-
federate soldier, was native of Shell
by, N. c., but married York woman
and spent the later years of his life
in this town. Deploring the fact that
no stone marks his resting place
several years ago the president of the
Winnie Davis chapter, U. D. Co. com
municated with his kinsman. Thomas
Dixon, on the subject and received the
following reply:
1T has been a plan of mine for
some time to have a bronze equest-
rian statue of my uncle built in the
public square of Shelby, where he or
ganized the Ku Klux Klan. At the
same time 1 hope to have his grave in
York marked by an appropriate slab.
am obliged to you for calling my
attention to the fact that the grave is
unmarked.
Colonel McAfee was an ideal of
mine as a small boy, his home in nShel-
by, my daily haunt, and I hope to see
a beautiful bronze Of him in Klan
regalia, which will symbolic for the
white South the high principles for
which he stood, I am now looking
for the proper artist to do the statue
and shall propose that the people of
Cleveland and York counties build a
granite pedestal of native stone"
Though this letter was written Au-
gust 16, 1916, the grave has never
been marked. York people regret the
matter and yet hope that some day a
suitable monument will indicate the
spot beneath the elms in Rose Hill
where sleeps the intrepid Little
Colonel" hero of ''The Clansman.'

Almost.

A Scotsman was spending his
honeymoon by the sea, where an air
plane took passengers up for 5
pounds flight. McWhistle thought
this was far too much, but made the
aviator sporting offer of shillings
each for himself and his bride. The
aviator seeinga chance for some easy
money accepted, on the condition that
McWhistle was to pay pound extra
for every word he spoke during the
flight.
Duly they set out: The pilot nose
dived, looped the loop, and did every
thing he could to scare the Scotsman,
bueit was no good. McWhistle was as
silent as the grave. -
When they came down, the flying
man remarked:
well, I think you did remarkably
