It is to be regretted that the labor leaders arrested for dyamiting were not given a hearing before they were rushed out of the state, but no just criticism can be made as to Governor Marshall's action. The requisition was in regular form and he could do nothing but grant same. The voters of Root township will; decide Friday of this week whether: or not the sale of intoxicating liquors shall be prohibited. There is but one saloon in the township, located at Williams, on the north line of the township. The campaign has been a quiet one and the vote is likely to be light. Have you cleaned the yard ? The * time is here for the work, for your health, for the appearance of, the city, for the general good and. welfare of the community. We re- ( member a few years ago when Deca-' tur had a regular “clean-up” day. j While such jobs are usually thankless , ones, they are never-the-less worth ( the doing and we hope the commit- j tee will get busy again. If they don’t it’s up to every property owner or renter to get busy individually. The arrest of McNamara and McGanigal. charged with having dynamited the Los Angeles Times building, and taken part in other affairs of the kind, bids fair to widen the breach between labor and capital. Criticism of the courts, the other officials and the detectives, who took part, will do no good. What the people of the country will want is to know whether or not these men are guilty of the atrocious charges against them. If they are, it is probable that all men, of every station will want them punished. If not. then an almost unpardonable injury has been done these men. The evidence 13 now desired.
