about six o'clock. Mr.. Bergin
was Oh his way home and was
just leaving the village of Grandy
and was walking along Highway
No. 5 when the accident occurred
Edmund Johnson of 1santi, was
the first to discoversMr. Bergin's
body and Immediately notified

church. =.
The accident happened just
south of the Grandy school house
ON the main highway. After
hitting Mr.. Bergin the driver OF
the car, Mr.. Broberg apparently
did not stop but continued ON to
Cambridge. He had borrowed
the car from a garage at that
place and upon his return left
IT outside and went in and paid
his bill without making any re-
ference to the damage caused
by the accident. These damages
were discovered as soon as the
car was taken into the garage
and Mr.. Broberg was called but
did not admit of having hit any
thing on his way home. Sheriff
Johnson and County Attorney So
derquist were busy on the job
Immediately and called the Gil
lispie garage at Cambridge as to
whether a car had been brought
in there for repairs. They were
informed about the car driven by
Mr.. Broberg and Sheriff Johnson
placed that party under arrest at
once.
An autopsy held at the coro-
ner's inquest at Cambridge found
that the base of the skull had
been fractured, The jury found
that the said August Bergin
came to his death by being VIC
lently struck, driven upon and
precipitated to the ground by an

And that's what the ballot
means to me, pure piece of
white paper, on which men and
women of clear ideas can regis

This they can do quietly and
with steady purposes, not losing
thereby the strength and cour-
age of real manhood, or the
purity and charm attributed to
real womanhood. United they
stop corrupt legislation of any

State Auditor Ray P. Chase
seems to be keeping his name be-
fore the public pretty much
these days. Every little thing
he says and does is gotten before
the press of the state through
circular letters by some tax
payers associations or other
bodies. Likely there is some
thing to it that he aspires to be
governor. Tuesday he gave an
address at Miami, Florida, before
the national convention of state
auditors, comptrollers and trea-
surers. He urges the organiza-
ton of non-political taxpayers
associations and gives this good
and well known remedy for re-
ducing taxes: Reduce expendi-
lures of public money.

RELIGION OF MAN p

We may be bit bashfu]
about admitting it in the free

of US are incurably religious.
There is more religion in

There is a lot of what Phillips
Brooks called "the simple person
al, unchurchly religious impulses
which make up so much of the
worlds religion"
Some of us are avowed church
men and pay an open devotion
at the affairs of cathedral, syna
gogue, or chapels Some of us are
among the irregulars, the swear.
ing saints and the praying sin
nerS.
But even with the most ir.
regular of us, somewhere in some
corner of our lives there is Sc
cret shrine where our minds knee
in worship, even if it is a sort Of
anonymous worship.
For months religion has been
filling column after column ir

and politics and revolutions

The closing of the second and
last bank at Hinckley last week
was certainly a big surprise to
many as it was thought that
this was a strong line institu-
ton. When the other Hinckley
bank was closed a couple years
ago it was not quite so surprising
as that was in the deflation per-
iod when many financial institu-
tions went under. The law
makes it necessary for parties
wishing to open up a new bank
to get permission from the state
banking department, but some
times a fellow wonders how close
ly they check up on the older in
stitutions, considering the num-
Der of failures the past few
years.

In other words, thru their banking
connections, the head of the Locomo-
tive Engineers Union boasts Of the
fact that he has a window on Wall
Street facing that Of Mr.. DUPONT.
And in the business of Wall Street,
Stone thinks DUPONT is "a big man,
doing big things in big way"
Letter Used In "Ad."
Stones letter of endorsement was
widely used by the DUPONT campaign
ers. It was published as full-page
advertisement extensively, especially
in the Wilmington Labor Herald, an
alleged labor paper, from which the
accompanying reproduction was made
Thus the head of the powder trust
reached not only the members Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
to whom Stone sent his letter, but
practically all of the workers in the
state.
Brotherhoods Split In Delaware.
Stone also confesses in his letter
that the 16 railroad organizations
could not agree unanimously on an en-
dorsement for United States senator
in Delaware. There were some who
refused TO stomach Dupont and came
out for his opponent. All under the
standards and the policies Of the
conference for progressive political
action.
Perhaps some OF Stones love for
DUPONT may be due to the fact that
the powder prince from Delaware,
who reaped enormous profits in ex-
plosives during the world war, is also
an owner of coal mines in Kentucky.
Stone is also interested in Kentucky
coal mines, non-union coal mines, that
have become a heated issue within
even the American Federation Of La
Dor.
DUPONT has been especially inter-
ested In the Central Coal and Iron Co..
the Main Jelllcoe Mountain Coal Co.,
and the Mckinley Coal Co., all Of the
non.union state of Kentucky. where
the coal mining industry is being de-
veloped at the expense OF the union
fields In the organized states.
These anti.labor policies, carrying a
threat to the whole working class, are
the backbone" OF the conference for
progressive political action. that
meets today in Chicago, some say TO
sign its own death warrant.

road Telegraphers, as we'll as the

Put II Up To Management
If the general committee of the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers and
other organizations of the transporta-
ton department have conferred with
the management on this subject, feel
that our local officers should have
been so advised. If they have not
then / feel that We should inquire of
the management of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company whether or
not this plan is intended to interfere
with the legitimate perogatives of our
respective organizations.
A significant feature of the repres
antation plan is that Mr.. w. F. Dene
Ike, agent at Pittsburgh, Mr.. w. b
Peters, agent at McKeesport and Mr.
Peter Colligan, agent at ALLEGHENY

to represent station agents all of
whom are in charge of the largest
stations on this division. Mr.. H. d.
Grafous a former trainmaster now a
train dispatcher Is chairman Of COM
mittee to look after the interests Of
the telegraphers.
Many questions are being put to
me by members of the order. What
sort of reply would you suggest that
make them?
Shall we cooperate? Shall we insist
on better representation, or shall we
inform our members to ignore the
plan or movement?
l stand ready to cooperate with the
management of the Baltimore G. Ohio
Railroad in any legitimate movement
for the mutual good of all concerned,
one which will not interfere with the
rights and perogatives of the o. r. T..
and other sister legitimate organiza-
tions.
That there has been chairman and
two alternates elected or appointed to
represent as a class, agents, brake
men, conductors, engineers, hremen,
yardmasters, dispatchers and operat-
ors, division-accountants force, and
police department, l am taking the
liberty of sending a copy of this letter
to each of the general chairmen, and
as many of the local committeeman
of the various organizations represent
ing employees so affected in this new
movement for their information etc.
An early reply would be greatly ap-
preciated, with best wishes, / am,
yours fraternally,

committeeman concerned would be
appreciated.

members expelled by the officials of
Local lS1, cordial reception when

expulsion from their union by the
tools Of Harry Jensen and Hutche-

The members of Local 504 are 100

They are willing to take any action
