FEDERALS say the rebels retreated northward after that Corralitos, and rebels say the federals retreated south It is among the possibilities that both are correct ‘If necessary I will kill John Looney, even though I go to This is not the declaration of an avowed anarchist H. M. Schriver, of Rock Island, IL, America’s The remark lifts the mystery of the recent reign of violence in Rock Island. , A mayor, lawless and violent, beget’ lawlessness and violence in the people. The facts about this disturbance in the IHinois town have been very much ob scured by the police station reporters who sent the news over the wires. Bet the true situation in Rock Island is leaking out Mayor Schriver was in danger of losing his official head. His city has the recall and a movement to yattk him awayefrom the city hajl has been started. John Looney, the editor of a weekly paper, severely criticised Sehriver in an article he was about to print. Schriver had Looney arrested on suspicion of carr: ing concealed weapons. The police carefully searched Looney and when it was certain that he was unarmed and helpless, Schriver walked into the prison and beat the defenseless prisoner to pulp. ‘ Great excitement. What was it all about? What had Looncy said? So hundreds of citizens hastened down to the swatted editor's office and clamored for the papers they had paid for or wanted to pay for. They were worse than a few hundred women at a bargain sale, but the law-abiding mayor called out the fire department and made the firemen soak the crowd Of course men are not made of mud or mucilage. Not in They couldn't for a minute see this thing of turning the hose on folks. Nor could they understand why citizens in the hands of the police should be half murdered by the mayor. They had never heard that the English tyrants had ever done anything’ as bad as this in 1776. Some thousands of them marched to the city hall the next night to ask the mayor to make a speech and explain his playful actions. When this Rock Island “tea party,” or whatever you may want to call it, arrived at the city hall the mayer, at the head of his police, turned loose with magazine rifles and let daylight and large lead bullets into the bodies of some eight or ten front row citizens. So this-is the story of riot in Rock Island. Lawless, violent brute, cowardly mayor, who himself grossly violated law, outrages order, stamps on the rights of citizens, and is wholly responsible for the shame of Rock Island, Il a the gallows. but of Mayor latest riot. city. 1912 TAFT is taking dinners with those eminent democrats, John Ro McLean and Willie Hearst. Oh, it’s a nice little game that’s being put op on the horny-handed democracy! Afraid of the People After considerable casting around for a real exeuse for not letting the people vote for president, Gov. Hay finally struck @ peach. “Even if the legislature should pass a presidential primary law.” he said, “it could not become effective until after 90 days, which would be too late to hold the ptimaries. An emergency clause would make it effective at once, but this would require a two-thirds vote. And the expressions | have received from the legislators do not indicate that it could even secure a ma- jority.” “And | guess that'll hold them,” thought the governor. It only demonstrates once more Washington's dire need for areal man in the governor's chair. \ real governor would call the legislature together with a fine message showing why the presidential primary is wecessary —mnecessary in a way thaf has never before developed in the history of the country, because this year the people are trying to get control of the parties The legislature would have passed the bill, emergency clause and all Che legislature “comes through” when it's out in the open It didn't dare to turn down the initiative and referendum when it was finally ced to a ‘vote The standpat members tried to kill this in cx did succeed—Hay helping them—in jud, We'll admit that the legislature has nev fesponsive to the people. “If it had been, there'd hs demand for the L. and R But the legislature always ‘ to a vote.
