ofed men and two eolored women
whose trial was concluded in Magis-
rate James court last Tuesday after
the prisoners Tad been kept in the
city Jail from Saturday night at II
o'clock until Tuesday noon without
permitting any Of those who applied
TO have bonds.
Generally it was not understood
that the court had refused bonds in
view of the fact that the county off
GERS stood in waiting to hold any who
might have been thus released, in
which case the bond would have
proved Yaueless.
4 number of prominent men con
neeted with the official business Of
the city in one way or another de
plofed the fact that the colored peo-
pie, many of whom we're Woodworking
men, were made the victims Of what Is
commonly called riding" in police
circles.
The riding" consisted in making
the colored people the victims of ae-
ton in two courts on complaints
growing out of the events of last
Saturday night.
Generally there is a conviction that
anything akin to double jeopardy is
wrong, even though it has been de-
clared legal. H. this particular case
the colored people were not the vic
tins Of double jeopardy. The charge
filed against those who were taken
to Urbana was not identical with that
fled in the Champaign court. In
Champaign the charge was 'patroniz-
ing disorderly house." In Urbana
those of which report reached this
Office, were charged with gambling"
In Champaign the fines were S. and
costs each with the exception of the
higher fines assessed against MCGEE,
the keeper, and the two women. In
urbana the fines were said to be
$3.50.
An officer in referring to the differ
ent charges appeared to feel that the
states conscience had been appeased
by the fact that the county authori-
ties had not filed the identical charge
brought against the colored people in
Champaign. He seemed to feel that
in avoiding double jeopardy" the
authorities would escape public criti
cism.
The Review has no particular in
terest in the case of these colored
people further than to wish for JUS
tice to all independently of whether
the persons are white or black, rich or
poor, ignorant or educated. The Re-
view believes that if favoritism is
shown TO any class it should be to
those whose training, and station
handicap them. If anybody is to be
ridden let it be the so-called upper
class.
Labor has a special interest in an
improvement of court procedure in the
United States. Labor has suffered
humiliation, injustice, riding" and
Lord knows what form the courts of
the United States, and is near the
stage when an earnest protest is
necessary.
The Review does not believe in
"riding;" it does not believe in double
jeopardy" nor any counterfeit for
double jeopardy it does not believe
in the right of courts to declare in
functions to prevent the working man
from obtaining his rights, and the
time has come to voice a determined
protest.
What the state of Illinois needs
right now is few conscientious
judges with courage enough to pro-
test against such abuses.

Shipping Seriously Menaced.

German hsipping at the beginning
of the month, faced a serious crisis,
because of varied agitation in German
ports by the shipbuilders, dock-labor-
ers, pilots. and harbor workers.
Scarcity of money and lack of food
are said to have been the direct causes
of the discontentment. which. fos-
tered by the radical labor element,
quickly spread to important shipping
ports and canals.

Berlin Printing Trade

Summoned to a general meeting,
the members of the Union of Berlin
Master Printers expressed grave con-
cern at the recent wage scale pre-
scribed for workers in the printing
trade. They agreed that the only
course open was to reduce working
hours, and that if subsequent receipts
did not cover costs of operation, print
ing plants must necessarily be cloesd.

MILT'S PARK

Milt. Savage, patrolman on High
way AS, has conceived the idea of
little park beside the road near the
Slater farm, where shaded, grassy
plot provides an excellent site.
Here Mr. Savage plans to clear out
the brush and weeds, install rustic
benches and tables, provide a pump,
and make the place attractive for
tourists and others who might wish
to enjoy a rest there from their
travels.
When the little park is completed
it is planned to have the people If
Hudson and River Falls unite there
in dedication picnic, further an
nouncement of which will be publishe
later.
Those who are acquainted with
Milt's plans commend the idea very
highly

LIVESTOCK MOVIE

The next movie arranged for the
benefit of the live stock show will be
shown next Tuesday, June IL in the
Normal Auditorium at 8:15 P. M.
The committee in charge of the
selection of the pictures is to be
commended for the high class films
shown this spring. Every one OF
the pictures has been very well re-
ceived.
The next picture "In the name of
the Law" will be more than equal to
any that have been seen. 1T is a
fine strong melodrama that teaches
in a most entertaining fashion the
value of thrift and power of love in
the cementing of human ties. The
picture is a towering tribute to the
policeman, besides being bully enter
tainment.
Ralph Lewis who appears as police
man O'Hara is known the country
over. Mr.. Lewis was principal
character in "The Birth of Nation. y
While there has been fairly good
turn out for the pictures, yet so far
they have not received the support OF
the community that they deserve
These films are clean and entertain
ing, good pictures for anyone. The
stock show is one of the big enter
prises of the community and deserves
the united support of all. Make
plans to attend a first class movie
and at the same time be a COM
munity booster, by seeing "In The
Name of the Law"

quality. There will be presented
two plays, FRIENDLY ENEMIES"

casts.
The Gypsy Rover" Opera Conn

numbers, will be Fenwi,k Newell,
the great New York tenor, Cart

sas, Dr.. Dorreen, of the Jackson Blvd.

AS special feature, from an en-
tertainment standpoint, will be the
Floyds, who come to US direct from
winters engagement in the larger

loSd of equipment, and is one Of the
outstanding magicians of the country.

weak spots, and every oGy is FEA-
TURE day. Of course, there will be
tie regular Junior Chautauqua, and

HARKIN' BACK

When the Journal sport scribe was
midget mascot for the River Falls
city team, in those days when Big
Bill Gibbs burned 'em across to Wild
Bill Lawrence, we thought the red
headed catcher showed she very acme
of nerve in catching bare-handed
right up behind the bat. But last
Thursday evening, in the Twilight
League; Catcher Elmore Fox, OF
Hurd's Outlaws, gave what undoubt-
eddy will go down in history as the
greatest display of cheek ever seen
on baseball diamond. We just
can't tell any more abaut it, that's
all. The bare facts were too as.ound-
iIg.
Speaking of the olden days, Waiter
Hunt, trainer and manager fer Catch
er Fox, is making point OF late
to consol those who may have been
touched" in this column by telling Of
an incident which occurred in the
early days Of the league, when "Dyke"
Lusk, Col. McKinnon, Bob. Reynolds,
Bert Synes, Chris. Wiger, ETC., were
the outstanding individuals in the
herd.
A game was progressing into the
finals with Fred Knobel about to es-
say on the mound for the Caterpil-
lars. The score was tight, and the
Cats were anxious to clinch it that
very inning. Just as F. x. was about
to fire the opening gun, his Captain
rushed madly forth ard commanded
him to cease. The premier hurler had
just arrived! The day was saved!!
Into the diamond rushed the hero
to-be. Excelsior, and two rah, rahs.
A breathless silence-and' then such
bombardment as the old campus
never before had witnessed. Base
hits, doubles, triples, and errors
galore, with the Cats opponents
running wild around the paths, until
ll-COuINJ 6iIi-ll luNS kLdd SloSoSa
the pan, and the realization of bitter
defeat had supplanted the rosy, prom
;sed hope and certainty of victory.
That, kind friends is the sorry tale
that the Hunt person tells of your
sport scribe's bursted glory. 1t ex-
plains, mayhap, why the bat was dis
carded in favor of the pen. And,
let us add, the remuneration for his
literary efforts is identical with that
which he received on the diamond.
So that's that.
Our scribe is being criticized for
not giving out professional" play
by play accounts of the games. We
have arranged to have this fragrant
fault remedied, and ir next weeks
issue this column will contain pro-
fessionally detailed account of one of
the battles. Stop, look and listen!
