Illinois has adopted novel expodient
for bringing careless citizens to sense

provides that the election clerks shall
make out lists of all persons otherwise
entitled to vote who may neglect to reg.
lister, and, within thirty days after tile
election, turn these lists over to the
clerks of the county boards, who are
commanded to prepare therefrom their
lists of jurors before the names 81 regis-
tered voters have been made use of for
this purpose. The intent Of the law is
to compel the vote shirliers to perform
jury duty. 1t will be interesting u zee
how this law will work in practice. If

its application confined to school cleo

of interest in matter that does not now

There is both consolation and dis
appointment in the news that comes
frcm Chicago Of the award of the con
tract for building Worlds Fair tower
l,120 feet. Consolation because the
announcement put an end to the sus-
pense that has so long agitated the
American nation; disappointment be-
cause the tower is not to be the proper
height to commemorate the voyage of
Columbus, 1,492 feet. If there is any
significance, historical or otherwise, in
1,l2O feet, We haven't the slightest con-
ception what it may be. Besides the
projected London tower may overtop
