1t appears that Illinois is not so very
Republican after all.
Mr.. Springer, a very able politician,
and Congressman from that State, says of
the recent result:

ing in New York of the wonderful gain
made everywhere through Illinois, when,
as matter Of fact, the Republicans fell
off at every polling place Labor is in a
state of unrest all along the line, and to
this disturbing element must be attributed
the decrease in the vote Of both the great
parties. Throughout the State the vote
compared with two years ago, was 1922,
600 short, but the Prohibition vote re-
NAMED at its normal figures, about 10000,

Instead of the defeat of Mr.. Morrison
and other Democrats being a rebuke to
free trade, and a strong protection argu-
ment in Illinois, in reality it demonstrated

Who Killed Cock Robin ?

In the prettiest part Of Long Island,
when the leaves begin to fall, spOrtsmen
of the second grade and pot-hunters pur-
sue the robin for his price in the mart
though red breast is ranked as song
bird, and it is a crime to STAY him.
In the midst of a carnival of assassina-
tons, one beautiful day this week con-
stable lay in wait to grab the pOt-hunter,
but the pot-hunter bagged the robin, and
got away just in time, while the minion
of the law bounced on an unskilful but
lovely Amazon, whom he saw in the act
of bringing down lyric warbler. He let
her get home and then strobe into the
family circle:
d" | am a constable" said he sternly,
/" and here is warrant for the arrest of
your wife, Mr.. Turin"
"Saye me-" cried the lady.
"Touch my wife if you dare" cried the
enraged husband.
Well" said the ribald constable,
q" ten dollars will pay for the damage"
They paid the ten dollars, and reflected
that bird in the market is worth less
than two in the bush

A few days back the TINES suggested
to large prOperty-owners to pay their
taxes with coupons, and thus force the
Legislature to meet the creditors of the
State half way, and settle the public debt,
thus lifting from the State the Obloquy OF
repudiation, and ending the hOrrid spec
tacle of a States officers defying the SUI
preme law of that land in the name Of
law itself.
We here again renew our advice. Let
all large taxpayers use coupons in pay
ment of their taxes, and we shall soon
ace the offer of settlement that the credi-
tors have made, accepted, and this terrible
complication brought to an end.
The automaton calculatOrs have done
50 much to mislead and deceive the peo-
pie that many do not know their rights
Many suppose they have to pay their
taxes in money and then get it back by
the process of verification. This is an
error The taxpayer may offer coupons
for his taxes and thereafter refuse to pay,
anything; or, he may, if he pleases, pay
In money and verify his coupons, and
then try to get that money back, after
being hung up for months or years in the
State courts. But this is not obligatory.
He may do this if he chooses; or, he may
stand upon the naked tender of his
coupons il he pleases

The trial Of Lieutenant Arnold, Of the
police force in Washington, for divulg-
ing the alleged order Of the chief of
police to shadow Congressman, in order
to obtain a certain influence by blackmail,
is one of the numerous great scandals Of
the Capital.
Lieutenant Arnold, though opposed by
almost the entire District Government,
was able to make a strong defense to the
charges against him. In his testimony
he stated positively that Walker had
given him instructions to watch con-
gressmen for the purpose of influencing
legislation. He corroborated the testi-
mony of Lieutenant Kelly, clearly prov
ing the truth Of his original statement.
Arnold will be dismissed, perhaps, to pro-
tect Walker. This, however, may be the
most unfortunate step the commissioners
could possibly take

THE WEST TELEPHONE.
An Interview with Judge West Regarding
the instrument To Be introduced Here.

Judge w. H. West, of Bellefontaine, O..
whose son is the originator of the West tele
phone, was in the city last night, prepared, in
the judiciary committees report, to take steps
toward the formal organization of a company.
In answer to inquiries as to the instru-
ment. and possible suit by the Bell COM
pany, he said: BELL claims a monopoly
of the undulatory current Ours is an inter
rupted current Bell claims a variation of con-
tinuous current by means OF interposed pressure,
which increases and diminishes the force OF the
current Our instrument has been very thor
oughly tested by two or three electricians of
some skill and experience. They say it operates
on different principle from the Beli-on the
principle Familiarity known as the make and
break principle" which consists in rapidly break
ing the current and re forming it again
at intervals varying according to the intervals
between the vibrations of the vocal organs. OF
course, these intervals are varied in proportion
to the force of the vibration producing them;
hence, meditation Of the sound produced at the
other end of the wire"
Concerning possible litigation with the Bell
company, Judge West said: II should like to
see case tested in some of the courts Of the
East. In the first second and third suits brought
by the Bell company against other
companies in the East both parties
consented to the DEGREES of the court against the
defendants. The parties defendant were bought
out, and given an interest in the plants. In
New York one company was given the territory
in New York city and around it for a radius of
thirty miles There has never been a fair test:
No case has ever gone to the Supreme Court"
"What was the object OF the Bell company In
pursuing this coursep was asked.
II suppose" continued the fudge, they did
not want to encounter trouble too early, but
wanted first to forty themselves with series of
DEGREES. There was case in New Jersey where
the contracts were produced, but the court said
the previous DEGREES were on the record. There
is great courtesy between federal judges. and in
preliminary hearing they are inclined to follow
their colleagues. In the of the
telephone we represent wholly different ques-
ton would arise. from that decided in
the other cases. In all those the defendant
pleaded the invalidity Of Bells patent. That
question is now involved in the government suit
pending at Columbus and we would not bother
the courts here with it."
Judge West of course, did not care to indicate
in advance of a suit, what the line of his plead
ing might be- He said in regard to the pros
pective mandatory here, that IL the city
adopted the instrument and its validity was es-
tablshed in the courts the business would be
enlarged, presumably with this city as basis.
