tempted to compliment the "Garden City"

following statement: "In New York the
other day, thousands followed the body of
ruffian and murderer to his grave with

pie gather together to witness a prize

not so bad as that" Tally haIf-score for
Chicago!

The Illinois legislature is slowly settling
down to work again, although the members
seem to have put in so much labor on the
election episode which interrupted the sea-
sion they are evidently not yet in very
good trim for vigorous effort in the max
ing of laws. Labor is the last thing the
average legislator of Illinois thinks of,

at Springfield is to draw his mileage and
per diem. Laws are made there more by
accident than intent, except where there is
some political or other motive other than
the general welfare.
The late elections show that the field
where favorite sons may be grown is ex-
tending. If Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and
Kansas conclude to range themselves per-
manently in the column of doubtful states
and to say the least the last returns from
these states indicate strong tendency that
way-they will be justified in growing
presidential candidates. It will be a sort
of national blessing when New York, Indi-
ana and Ohio are crowded out of the place
of pivotal states and the great parties feel
safe in looking somewhere else for their
nominees.
