Preaching q Sermon
ION Politics
THE AMERICAN

By HoUard Fast. (DueH-Slodn
G. Pearce;; $3.j
Taking the life of John Peter
Altgeld as a text, Howard Fast here
breaches sermon on political cor
ruption. For what I suspect is
the large number of Americans
who do not know who John Peter
Altgeld was, /, explain that he was a
Governor of Illinois in the 1905.
1t is, admittedly, a rather colorless
description and needs some amend
ment. Very we'll, Gov. Altgeld
pardoned three anarchists, who
escaping the death sentence for
their part in the famous Chicago
Haymarket bombing, were SEN
fenced to prison. Pardoning them,
he stated that he considered that
they were innocent and had been
convicted by corrupt court.
Later, he led a revolt In the
Democratic party which was de-
signed to break the leadership of
Grover Cleveland and put pro-
81 CoolNC oCIAONl az III L1iC WlhbC
House. But it produced only the
Boy Orator from the River Platte
and Mckinley was elected. With
that Gov. Altgeld's political career
came to an end
Mr. Fast tells the story in his
accustomed manner of sob and
siren united, both working very
hard. Some of his writing is so
bad that it is funny-impossible
to believe. And there are also
some very good convincing passages
in the book. particularly in the lat
ter part. Mr.. Fast's thesis is that
the great political parties were
equal in corruption and that a new
party was needed to represent the
common man, who though he has
vote, never seems able to repre-
sent himself. He implies that If
Altgeld had made a clear break
from the Democratic party and
joined the Socialists with Debs, he
would have accomplished the
cleansing which he tried to bring
about. AS l said, his book is q
sermon rather than a novel.

High Seasonal Rents
Realize Handsome Profit

Men and women bought lots sight

chases from promoters blueprints

went forth'to sell at a profit. The
tempo increased. Miami, as well as
most of Florida, doomed.
And then the balloon burst. Buy
ers were no longer plentiful. Paper
profits were lost. People began to
default. There was an exodus of
thousands from the city. Operators
got out of town just ahead of the
sheriff. Many could not leave be-
cause they didn't have the money.

Miami was a small fishing village
when Mr.. Flagler, who had built a
railroad as far south as West Palm
Beach, arrived in Miami on a moon
light night and was struck by the
beauty and possibilities Of the sur
roundings. A track was laid over the
10 miles to Miami and the first
train arrived April IS, 1896.
AS an old-timer put it, then it
seemed that the food gates were
opened and people came from
everywhere" In June of that year
there were 5000 people in COM
