It is quite p! to be seen that Mr Gill does not look upon the matter in this light. He who would throw an citizen through the window before election, after election, with the confidence of success, would be much more violent. One cannot contemplate without terror and pity the spec tacle of a common, ordinary citizen pleading for his rights before Mr. Gill as mayor. If Mr. Gill had a clear record, if his intentions for the future were honest, and if he appreciated the relative importance of the official and the public, he would not hesitate to answer any question that might be put to hin elusive evidence that he is lacking in all these qualifications Poetic and Legal Justice Hi there is aught of pure justice in this day and age, the estate accumulated by Charles O. Tucker during the years of his ill-spent life should go to the daughter of the woman whom he cast into the depths of degradation and misery. Whatever the laws of man and the statutes may provide, the girl of tender years has ig the eyes of humanity the prior claim; a claim of consanguinity and a claim founded on abstract justice Tucker's fortune wax built on money advanced by Lorraine Le Moine, who not only gave him her body and soul and hope of salvation, but actual cash in the sum of $20,000. It was with this money that he started in the dairy business, later entering the furniture trade, and waxed prosperous, while the woman strove to find surcease from unutterable woe in drink. Tucker established a profitable business, while poor Lorraine Le Moine, @n outcast, toiled in cheap restanrants, scrubbed and drank Every day she could see him, respectable, well dressed, a busi- fess man could see herself and her child, wonder she drank herself to This woman was wronged this world, and she went t gra Spair, All her life wrong triumphed and her trampled in the dust there was which entere| bullet throug erything ¢!

He knew that he was right and he knew that the people knew It With the people behind him, fuliy understanding the import of the issue, the refractory counci! was swept off its fest, crowded up againat the wall and actually forced to pase the underground wire ordinance. Had it not been for Boullion the wires would be overhead today, thicker than ever, insurance rates would be mounting stil! higher and the lose of human life would have been more frequent. Bouillon started it and finished it, and it was something worth while. pee Strange birds come roost in family trees The bravest prize fighter may be afraid of hia wife, Py |}.
