THOUSANDS LEAVE WORK IN CALUMET DISTRICT.

The first day of the steel strike in the Chicago district (brought claims from union leaders that the strike is a success, surprising even to them. From managers of the plants it brought merely brief statements that their mills were running and they expected enough men would remain at work to keep them operating steadily. Approximately 83,000 men are out in the Chicago district. The following table shows the extent to which the plants of the Chicago district have been deprived of man power: Employed. Out.

SOME LIGHT SHED ON THE SAGE RUMOR.

Mrs. Loren Sage returned to her •home in this city from a visit with relatives at Geneseo, 111., Monday evening. During Mrs. Sage’s absence some damaging rumors have been afloat in reference to Mr. Sage. It has been reported and become common rumor that he was badly involved with the oil company by whom he had been employed and further that he had married another woman. The Republican has been upbraided because it did not publish the story, which indeed was an unfounded rumor that Sage was in jail here or elsewhere. Mrs. Sage spent Monday night with the family of A. R. Hopkins on College avenue and she informed Mr. Hopkins that Mr. Sage had not been arrested; that he has been traveling for a school supply house since leaving the oil company. There Beems to be no doubt but that Sage has been very reckless financially and that he has made it a very great burden to his father to take care of these matters. It is reported that before leaving the oil company he took a large number of orders for oil in and about Mt. Ayr; that he collected the money in advance and that it seems that he has not placed the orders with the company, and while that has been more than six weeks ago, no oil has been received on these orders placed and for which it is claimed Mr. Sage had collected the pay. Mrs. Sage is reported to have said that the relations between her and her husband have always been ideal, and hia financial troubles. hfi” -of " n difficulty in which her husband has been involved. iShe reported to Mr. Hopkins that Mr. Sage would be in Rensselaer this Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Sage has sold his residence on North Cullen street to John EigelSbach.

WASHINGTON NEWS IN BRIEF.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 22. Governor Lowden’s presidential boom was given a boost by a demonstration for him when he appeared on the floor of the house, following his appearance before the special committee on budget legislation. Republican members were so noisy in their greeting that proceedings were suspended until the governor retired to the cloak rooms, where he held a reception. Governor Lowden told the bugdet committee of the experience of Illinois in the establishment of a budget system and advised the fixing of responsibility for appropriation estimates upon the president. Maj. Gen. McAndrew, former chief of staff of the American expeditionary forces, disagreed with recommendations of Secretary of War Baker and the general staff on army reorganization legislation in testifying^beftar^^^^^^m^^^^^fe that a peace time army of 300,000 should ibe sufficient, and favored universal training for a period of six months. With the actual beginning of the steel strike, indications are multiplying that it will be one of the major subjects of discussion at the 'white house industrial conference. October 1 6 with the president, E. H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation, and heads of international unions directly concerned in the strike among those participating. An attack on President Carranza has been issued in Mexico by Francisco Villa charging that Cajrranzistas, when they ' found themselves defeated recently by Villa's forces at Juarez fired on El Paso in order to force American intervention to drive Villa’s troops away.

RUMORS AND RUMORS.

> Still, another rumor is afloat to the effect that a certain young business man is in trouble. He is reported to have taken some goods from a Monori freight car. The rumor varies from the point of a simple suspicion to the untruthful statement that he was lodged in jail. The rumor is made „ out of the fabric of unti;h and how it got started is as difficult to find out as Wilson’s statement as to who started the war. The young business feels, and he has a ; right to so feel, very indignant about the matter, and he wquld surely make it warm for the guilty party should he be apprehended.

BISHOP RAPS WILSON LEAGUE

DR. QUAYLE ON THE “PRESENT CRISIS” IN ADDRESS AT COLUMBUS,_O. “We are facing a crisis in American affairs, which may mean the destruction of our republic,” said Bishop William A. Quayle, of Kansas City, in his address on “The Present Crisis” at the First Methodist Episcopal church, Columbus, last Sunday afternoon. “The issue confronting Americans is whether or not government by threat shall replace democracy in the United States. “At the present time everything we say or do is divided into two genders, pro-Wilson or anti-Wilson. I am neither pro-Wilson or antiWilson, but pro-American. Other nations of the world 'have republican instincts and have come out of the world war with more democracy than they had when they entered. America, supremest republic that the world has' ever produced, is less democratic now, than before the war. One cannot speak his mind on any -subject, without somebody saying, ’He’s talking against the administration.’T maintain the fight of an American citizen to speak untrammeled on any subject, against or whatever I please, provided I am speaking foT and in favor of America. Who shall tell an American to be silent?

“During the war we were told not to speak, not to think, but to stand behind the president. And the president has been proved wrong on every main contention ' he has backed, and so often has he shifted his position on American affairs that to stay behind him required the agility of an acrobat. And now when a peace treaty is being considered, which should be the most equable in the history of the world, we are told again, ‘Don’t think, speak, or have an opinion.’ I say the republic is facing a crisis and there will be no republic left unless we have a chance to speak. “We are told that the peace treaty must be passed at once before we have had a chance to decide whether- it is a just peace or not. Do you realize that America was the only great'nation not represented at the peace conference? Mr. Wilson and his personal representatives attended, and none of their decisions were submitted for the approval of the United States, through congress. Lloyd George was recalled to England to explain his position; Orlando returned to Italy on demand of the _ people to account for some of his actions; Glemenceau gave his reasons to France for every important step; but Mr. Wilson went ahead and decided America’s position without giving America a chance to declare airhat her position was. And now he says congress must ratify the treaty as it stands or we will be plunged into war with other nations. pence, bn* T ■nrnnt no ~>«/»* Tiwt.il J am sure that it is just and wise? VVe ill America know nothing why certain clauses are in the treaty. Robert E. Lansing, secretary of state, when asked to explain certain points in the treaty to the senate, stated he knew nothing about that matter and that Mr. Wilson must be consulted. We cannot in justice to the American republic take the word of any one man under heaven that this treaty we are asked to swallow whole, is the best possible.”

Myers, of Park avenue, left Monday, September 22, -for New York City, where she wilt take a post graduate course in the Teachers’ Training college, Columbia university, and which work will entitle her to an A.
