Editorial Correspondence
GALENA, 111., Aug. 14.
Tlns is Bn unbelievable place
An old New England town, in
the middle of the corn-belt; a
Rip Van Winkle village,
sprawling up and down rocky
hills, like an Italian cascade; a
Yankee meeting house and an
Old South church, rubbing
elbows with Al Capone hang
outs, doing a brisk business in
tinned alcohol and raw moon
shine. And as a final touch the
home of General U. S. Grant!
Anyone trying to classify
Galena, would be in the pre
dicament of the chameleon
thrown on a Scotch plaid. It
can't be done. It's everything
and .it's nothing. It's "a city
that' was" and yet it's as mod
ern as Cicero, 111., only last
night federal officers raided
the down-town district, and a
truck load of aliens and alco
holic evidence, will be brought
to court in Ottawa tomorrow
morning. East Dubuque an
other naughty place was raid
ed at the same time.'
Yet "the city that was" is
probably the nearest approach
to an authentic title. . When
Chicago was merely a trading
post insane dunes and swamps
on the shore of Lake Michigan,
Galena was a thriving slave
holding metropolis. Although
it is 14 miles from the Misissip
pi, it was the chief port of call
for river boats north of St.
Louis, thanks to the Galena
river, and also thanks to the
lead and zinc it produced then,
find still produces, or prob
ably will as soon as the depres
sion is over.''.' In fact the mayor
of Galena is authority for the
statement that the first settler
in Cliicrfgo was a Santa Domin
go negro a slave, who escap
ed from bis Galena master, and
built a hut approximately
whore the Chicago Tribune
tower now stanfls.
"The city that was!" The
.population of Galena is now
less than 4000 and decreases at
every census. One hundred
years ago it was over 10,0001
The Galena river, a century
Ago, was 1200 feet in width, it
is now 20 feet, any good high
school athlete could jump
across it. A pen sketch made
in 1859 shows Galena on the
bank' of a, large river, with a
broad levee at which four large
side-wheelers are docked the
names of three are the Minne
sota, the Ben Campbell and the
Saint Paul. . High on the hill
above a huge American flag is
flying from a high flagpole, on
the terraced hills are stately
mansions many with twostor
ied pillars and porticos in the
southern stylo. (Those man
sions by the ' way are still
there.) Lower down, just above
the smokestacks of the steam
ers, one can see the roof of a
large custom house.
And today t No levee. No
river, just a sludgy creek, that
closely resembles an irrigation
ditch. The Illinois Central
depot, an express company, a
lumber yard, no sign of activ
ity in any of them, they are
where the steamers once-stood,
and small boats plied busily
around them.
What lias become '-of the
river t The mayor, a graduate
of the University of .Chicago,
about 30 years old, and a native
son, who we were honored to
have as an escort, explains it
by two factors: one the build
ing of locks on the Galena river
which resulted in a filling up
of the river bed, by silt and
mud; and two, cutting down
forests in Wisconsin near the
river's source, which decreased
the water supply. Whatever
the cause there is no doubt
about the result. The Galena
river is gone, and the commer
cial glory of Galena with it.
Galena came by its name
honestly, as every miner knows.
Galenn is the proper term for
sulphite of load ore. The lead
mines are not operating now
but they were a few years ago.
They may operate again if the
price of lead returns to world
war levels. But the cost of
operation due to the presence
of water and the necessity of
pumping, renders this rather
improbable.
Speaking of water, the busi
ness section of Galena like San
Francisco, is constructed' on
"made land." The mayor
showed us the old jail which
was built under the old market
place. It was abandoned when
a woman prisoner was
DROWNED.
Nearby is the De Sota ITouse
where General Grant was often
a guest, and in the dining room
of which Jenny Lind snng. It
was once the largest building
in Galena, seven stories high.
But many years ago it started
to settled so they took off the
two top stories, reversing the
process in Medford, when Emil
Mohr put one on. The De Sota
House is still running, and in
cidentally serves excellent
meals at reasonable prices, but
no doubt five stories are suffic
ient. There is also the Logan
House, which is being run pre
cisely as it was during the Civil
war period. At the noon day
meal, huge platters of meat and
vegetables and pitchers of milk
are placed upon the large table,
there are no waitresses, the
guests pass things around from
hand to hand.
One could write a book about
Galena, , hnd we believe the
mayor IS writing one he has
considerable leisure time, no
doubt, as his. only occupation
outsjde of his official duties, is
acting as correspondent for
Rockford and Dubuque news
papers. A very well informed
up-and-coming young man, Ga
lena can well be proud of him.
Ho ran for the city council. just
as a stunt, and to win a wager.
Didn't Campaign. Didn't even
have cards printed (bad busi
ness for a newspaper man) but
he was elected oyer his demo
oratib opponent, three to one.
Galena it seems is normally
democratic, and- Hist Honor
thinks it will go for Roosevelt
and Small this fall. This is the
first good news for Franklin
D., we have heard since our
arrival. '
Small. being a Republican we
asked for an explanation. Well
it seems Small's opponent lives
jn Chicago, and the people of
Galena are agin Chicago and
all its works. Apparently they
are not "agin" having for gov
ernor a machine politician, who
regards it as perfectly proper
to take a few hundred thou
sand out of the public treasury,
provided one returns 50 per
cent, of it when' found out 1
California pears are selling
in Galena, three cents apiece,
two for five baskets of 8 for
20 cents. Baskets of peaches
also, marked "Sgobel and Day,
Winton, Cat" . R, W. R.
Editorial Comment
MR. Kl'HL OOKS VISITING
Robert W. Ruhl. editor of the Med
ford Mall Tribune, haa been spendin?
part of the summer at his old home
town of Rockford. III., and he does
not think much of the changes that
have taken place since lit was a boy.
He and a childhood friend got to -
gether at Rockford and after looking
over the old scene the friend Is quot-
ed as having philosophised as fol-
lows:
" One long procession of motor cars
on a paved highway, tooting through
a lane of Mamie shacks, fruit stands
and cheap -John madhouses. No bare
foot boys with fish poles, worms and
flat-bottomed scows. Just flappers,
sheiks, sports shoes and lipstick. And
the old hotel. The Englishman, his
wife and daughters are gone. Now It
la aald to be owned by the Capone
brothers. Coon waiters In white coats,
dances every Saturday night, fried
chicken from Chicago cold storage,
gin and Scotch, Jara and hop.,r.sh
gone, farmers gone, fun gone."
We sympathlre with Mr. Ruhl. No
person with a spark of sentiment can
go back to the place where he was
raised and find It thus changed
without experiencing some sinking of
the heart. Indeed it seems to u that
etery person from the coast who goes
back to the middle west for a visit
returns to us with something of aad-
taeaa and disillusion In his eye.
Yet human nature is peculiar and

GIFT 10 PARTY
BY MATCH KING
Kreuger Is Disclosed As Po
litical Opportunist With
Handsome Contributions
Where It Would Help
By Elmer W. Peterson.
STOCKHOLM. (A) The ghost of
Ivar Kreuger, suicide match king. Is
stalking through the political cam
paign of Sweden as the country pre
pares to elect a new second cham
ber of the Riksdag, or national par
liament. The role which the spectacular in
ternational financier played in the
politics of his home country is Just
beginning to be understood.
Spread His Girts.
He Is being revealed as a political
opportunist, seeking goodwill chere it
would do him the most good. In
vestigations of the financial wrek
which he left, shows that he gave
money to several Swedish parties and
contributed also to political treasuries
in other countries where he had In
terests. But here In his homeland, the lib
eral party, which for four years has
held the balance of power, seems to
have been recipient of the real po
litical sympathies of Kreuger.
A year ago he handed 50.000
crowns, then equivalent to 912.500.
t. Carl Gustav Ekman, present prime
minister and leader of the liberals.
This was done while Kreuger still
enjoyed public respect and confidence
and there Is no question but that it
was, politically, an ethical gift.
Put Soft Pedal on Talk.
Ekman has returned the money
voluntarily to the Kreuger adminis
trators, announcing that the former
match king made the contribution
on his personal Initiative and 'With
out asking any favor.
This action has been interpreted
as a move to foroe other similarly
benefited parties to come out Into
the open. At any rate Ek man's frank
tactics have rather minimized Kreu
