WANTED —MORE LOWDENS

When the Illinois coal operators undertook to get rich quick at the expense of a suffering public they neglected to take into account the possible action of one lone man— Governor Frank O. Lowden. Or possibly they assumed that because Governor Lowden is himself a millionaire he would naturally throw the weight of his powerful influence in behalf of other millionaires, at the expense of an already price-ridden people. But they erred, grievously so—for them. Lowden, calmly surveyed the field, decided what was best for the people as a whole, and delivered his ultimatum in words of unmistakable meaning. The coal barons must reduce prices to normal, or he (the governor) would direct the adjutant general of the state to seize the mines and operate them for the benefit of the commonwealth' until the close of the war. No bluff, no blow, just cold, steely action- —and the coal pirates capitulated in frantic haste. Illinois will get cheaper coal, and as a direct outcome of the Lowden method other states and .other governors will know how to bring their own price boosters to their knees. This country needs more Lowdens, as it has never needed them before. They are needed in every state, 'for every line of industry. Wherever a - commodity is produced the price booster and speculative robber js there and ready to wring the last dollar from a bleeding public. And without officials of the Lowden stamp to curb them they will succeed in their ne-farjous-‘-robber schemes.

Appealing to their fair mindedness and patriotism is futile. Only an iron fist can make a dent in them. But Lowden had the fist, and the will to wield it. Give us more Lowdens!

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

Jim Brick was hewing wood for *me, a wholesome, cheerful fellov,’, so husky he was good to see, without a touch- of yellow. And while, to earn a shining bone, he plied the ax, stout-hafted, his father called him up by phone, and said, “My boy, you’re drafted!’’ An instant Jim looked rather sick; perhaps he thought of mother, and all the family of Brick, the sister and the brother. A sweat stood out upon his brow I saw his pale lips quiver, and thought, “Alas, this young man, now, has got a chicken’s liver.’’ A ifioment Jim looked full of care, then raised a cheerful holler: “I’m glad I’m called to do my share, you, bet your bottom dollar! So for this day by labor ends —the news this fact determines — I want to go and tell my friends that I’ll be pbtting Germans. 1 want to tell a certain girl that I have been elected to make the kaiser’s whiskers curl, and make the prinz dejected.’’ I handed Jim a bunch of flowers, asd said, “Go, do your playing: I’ll only dock you seven hours when comes the time for paying.” When he was gone my eyes grew dim with patriotic fervor. “The country’s safe while boys like Jim,” I said, “are here to serve her!”

certain to come soon, she kept a cheerful and happy countenance. She is survived by her husband and three little daughters, besides her father, Charles L. Crisler, and several brothers and sisters. Funeral services were held at the Christian church at 10 o'clock yesterday, Rev. Asa McDaniel preaching the sermon, and interment in Weston cemetery. DAVID WINSLOW David Winslow, a citizen of Fair Oaks for many years and well known throughout this part of Jasper county, died very suddenly Saturday evening at the home of his son, Joseph Winslow, with whom he resided. • Mr, Winslow " had been enjoying his usual health up to the hour of his death, which came upon him without warning while he was walking about the yard. He was twice married, both wives pieceding him to the grave. He is survived by three children, the son above mentioned and two daughters, Mrs. Oliver Brouhard of Shelby and Mrs. Charles Barker of Fair Oaks. Mr. Winslow" -was an -extremely' large man, weighing about ■> l ~ pounds, •- and it was necessary to secure a special casket for him. This was perhaps the largest casket ever coming to this city, it measuring six feet six inches long and thirty- inches wide. Funeral services were held at Fair Oaks at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon and burial was made in the Fair Oaks cemetery. DAVID ALTER Little David Alter, adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. David Alter ot Union township, died at the hospital at 8 o’clock Sunday evening. The little fellow was first sick with diphtheria and later suffered from complications, which were too severe for the frail body to withstand. David would have been 8 years old next December, and was a bright boy and a joy to those about him. Funeral services will be held at the Rosebud church at 10:30 o’clock this morning, and burial will be made in Weston cemetery.

Obifuary

CHARLES BONNER SR. Death ended the six years of illness that cariie as the portion of one of our most worthy and respected, citizens, when at an early hour on Saturday morning the venerable Charles Bonner passed from this to the life beyond. He had been a sufferer for six long years and had been confined to his bed for eight months, continuously, during which latter time he was completely helpless most of the time. For the past eightythree days, not a particle of nourishment has passed his lips. Mr. Bonner represented one of the highest types of ■ our farmers, having lived the life of a farmer up to twelve years ago. when he retired and moved to town. He was well known and respected all over this community and in his death our people lose one of its noblest men. While not unexpected the last hour came with great sorrow to children and friends alike. Charles Bonner, Sr. was born in Wisbeach. Lincolnshire, England, August 23, 1 829. He came to this country in the year ot 1852, at the age of 21 years, and settled at Downers' Grove, Illinois. He there united in marriage with Miss Sarah Rooke in the year 1 855. To this union* 1 were born eight children, four sons and four daughters. Two of the sons died when quite young, and Mrs. Susannah Fell died sixteen years ago. The family came tc Goodland, Indiana, in 1876, arid continued to live near there, except for a brief interval, until the death of Mrs. Bonner, twelve years ago. when they removed to Remington, and have made this city their home ever since.

Mr: Bonner departed this life August 11, 1917, at the advanced age of 87 years. 10 months and 11 days. Mi Bonner was christened and brought up a member of the Episcopal church, and during the pastorate of R. H. Crowder, united with the Methodist Episcopal church. He leaves to mourn his loss, John of Oregon; Charles of this city; Maria Reeve of Iowa; Mary Flint of South Dakota; and Callie of this city; nineteen living grandchildren; twelve greatgrandchildren; and an ever increasing host of relatives and friends. The funeral was held at the Methodist church, conducted byRev. R. H. Crowder of Grace Methodist church of South Bend, and interment made in Remington cemetery. . . ’ . Those in attendance from a distance were his daughters, Mrs. A. P. Reeve of Silver City, lowa, who has been at his bedside for the past several weeks, and Mrs. E. E. Flint of Pierpont, South Dakota: his grand-daughter. Mrs. Ruth . Captain of St. Louis, Mo.; Mrs. Anna Curtis of Laporte, Indiana; Mrs. Hattie Linn, of Chattsworth. Illinois; Mr', and Mrs. George Has Ker and son, and Mrs. Ed. Hooker of Kankakee, Illinois; Miss Nettie Price of Rensselaer, Indiana. Owing to the distance John Bonner of Silverton, Oregon, was unable to be present. WILLARD MILNER Willard, the little eleven year old' son of Carey and Sue Milner, was struck by lightning and instantly killed on Monday. The lad was at play with, several other boys in a barn on one As Miss Amanda Gigley’s farms in'Michigan. The bolt that killed him also struck one pf the other children and his life is despaired of. The remains of Willard 'accompanied by his mother and her -sisters, Julia and Amanda, and her brother John, were brought to Remington Tuesday and taken to the home of his grandfather. Henry Milner. A message from Carey Milner of Lewistown, Montana, stated that he was on the way and would get here this Thursday in time for the funeral services at 4:30 P- m. at the Methodist Church. Mr. and Mrs.* Joe Milner and children of Indianapolis, and Mrs. May Milner of Brook are hdre to attend the funeral.

Furthermore. it is an injustice to the publishers whose income is largely dependent on subscription receipts. A proper regard for the printer’s toil and for the paying readers would go far toward correcting this injustice.
