HOME RULE FOR CHICAGO
Hope Is cxpro8Gil that Chicago's
homo rule plan will win out In tho
Illinois constitutional convention over
one submitted in opposition to it by
the Illinois Municipal tongue l nindo
In n letter from Willis J. Spnulillng,
chalrnuin of the organization's consti
tutional provisions committee to Aid.
John IL Lylc, chairtunn of tho city
council constitutional committco and
nlso a member of the longuo com
mittee. Incidentally tho letter caused Aid.
Lylo to send n letter to Springfield
dissenting from tho report sent to tho
constitutional convention and resign
ing from tho longuo boenuso of its op
position to tho Chicago plan.
"From conversations with constitu
tional delegates," Spauldlng writes,
"I nm convinced that tho lcnguo'B
report will bo rejected in tho conven
tion and that tho theory of tho Chi
cago proposal will bo adopted. This
merely gives cities tho presumption
of homo rule, giving tho legislature
the final authority.
"Thero nre certain exceptions. For
instance tho constitution will provldo
directly that cities may adopt a zon
ing system, may own nnd opernto utili
ties and may malo valid contracts
for n limited time with utility corporations."
PUBLIC UTIL
ITIES HARD UP

"Public Utilities hnvo not a nickel's
worth of credit," Mr. Reynolds In
formed Messrs. Cleveland and ningor.
"Tho banks are forced to refuso thorn
loans. Why, oven two years ago
when Samuel Instill enmo to mo for
n loan of a million for tho Peoples
las company I called Into consulta
tation sixteen other bank presidents
nnd finally wo prorated tho loan. Wo
weren't very nnxlous to mako It then.
Wo can't loan money to utilities
now."
Led Into n discussion of prices, Mr.
Reynolds declared he didn't bellovo
thero would "bo any letup In high
prlcos for ten years."
Other bankers who previously had
tfstlfled and were recalled for cross
examination Included David It. Forg
an, Harry A. Wheeler, Chester Coroy,
E. D. Hulbort, and Charles Schwoppe
It didn't tako Mr. Clovoland long to
go down tho list. Uach gavo a blan

No Wonder He Was With Funston
Representative Edward C. Little
of KitimiiH, was with Funston In the
Philippines lieutenant colonel of the
Twentieth Kansas Volunteers. Well,
ho should be n good American, If nil
cestry counts for anything. It came
out In the tercentenary of the Pil
grim's that he Is u descendant of
John Alden of the Mayllower. Ills
grandfather's great-grandfather, John
nthnti Tn.vlor, fought nt LouMturgnnd
Hunker Hill. Another ancestor, Col.
Moses Little, won promotion nt Hunker
Hill. In the course of his remarks Col
onel Little said In part :
John Alden, about the twelfth di
rect descendant from John nnd Prlscil
la. Is u student In tho high school of
Kansas City, Kalis., now, mid wo ex
pect to have him at the celebration.
"A curious Illustration of the
growth nnd development of America,
and of the fact that it has been u
haven of liberty for those from nil tho
world, Is that fact that while this boy Is n direct descendant of this historic
Pilgrim father, his mother Is tho daughter of Russian parents, her father hav
ing led it grout colony of Russians who settled in central Kansas.
"So you see, gentlemen, that the chords which run from Plymouth Rock
tlnklo u bell that knocks at tho heart of every American settlement nnd col

U
Mrs. C'ato Sells, wife of tho United
States Indian commissioner, Is greatly
Interested in her husband's work and
frequently accompanies him on his
visits of Inspection.
Many of these Inspection trips nro
Intensely interesting, ns for example
a visit to the Jlcurlllu Apaches In
southwestern Colorado and northern
New Mexico. A few years ago these
Indians appeared to be u doomed tribe,
diseased, poverty-stricken and with
out nmbltlon. Mr. Sells says of this
trip:
"I had n conference with several
hundred men of tho tribe. They were
full of tho zest of life, keenly Inter
ested In their Hocks and herds, ab
sorbed In plii)lK tho game of tho
new surroundings. Primarily, this
pooplo was snod by giving It n pur
peso and goal In life. Wo bought them
sheep out of tho tribal funds. Wo
bhowed them how to play the econom
ic gamo of sheep-ralslng. Oh, 1 tell
n whole tribe como back from

you, It's simply
tho gates of death."

Col. P. M. Uannon, U. S. M. C,

waters. He took along with him qulto
n gathering of "Devil Dogs" ready to
Innd whenever It should become nee
essnry to protect American subjects
Innocent bystanders liable to got

Colonel Uannon has seen service
In the Spanish-American war, tho

Vn., many of tho "Devil Dogs" who
went overseas In tho great war.
The marines, whenever they go
ashore on business, always send tho

would not send this report If It wero
not strictly true.
Renlly, tho Idea of tho murines
