erations surely my family will not allow it to pass to others at my death ! But that is naught to you. I am the sacrifice I glory in thus doing for the man who saved my kinsman!" That sublime sacrifice was first in the thoughts of Wade Latham when he landed on American soil. As quickly as he could reach his friends more than the amount necessary to redeem Kwang Lo and his family talesman was transmitted to Biero to make of him a free man. In time to act as a witness in the great lawsuit and. to see it won for General Norton, honored and famous through his contributions to science and literature, Wade Latham gained a still richer prize after all his peril ous adventures the hand of loyal, happy Agnes Norton. (Copyright by W. G. Chapman.) o o SUFFRAGE EDITION TO GO ON WITHOUT HEARING PROTEST After having agreed to hold a meet ing and hear protests from the Chi cago Federation of Labor and the Woman's Trade Union League against hitching the suffrage move ment up to Hearst, the officers of the Illinois Equal Suffrage League de cided to go ahead with the special suffrage edition of "The Examiner without hearing the protest This means that the suffrage edi tion will be handled almost exclu sively by club women, and that wo men workers and their friends will have nothing to do with it. Labor leaders believe that the at tempt to hitch onto the suffrage movement is Hearst's dying gasp in Chicago, and that he hoped to get back the circulation he lost by being the goat for the publishers' trust and locking out union pressmen last year. If union men and women and their friends and sympathizers take no part in pushing the suffrage edition of The Examiner the sale of the edi tion is very apt to be a frost, even though the club women make some money out of the advertising. As The Examiner and American are both on the unfair list of the Chicago Federation of Labor, uniqn men and women will not buy the special edition. Not only that, but they will actively oppose the deal made by the Equal Suffrage League and Hearst and fight the suffrage edi tion. Under the circumstances, it is not likely that Hearst will get his politi cal hooks into the suffrage move ment in Illinois through this little financial deal with the officers of one woman's suffrage organization, and that he will have no more circulation and influence after he gets through than he had when he pulled off the deal with the women. It has been suggested that this special edition be made an exclusive society affair and nobody allowed to participate unless they belong to Chicago's most exclusive porkpack ing circles; and that out of gratitude to Hearst he be admitted to the 400. o o NOT CONCERNED AT PRESENT The gas was leaking in the house. He lit a match to find it. The, gas is leaking just the same, But now he doesn't mind it.
