Violation of state Laws.
Chicago, Oct. 26-Twenty-four mil
lion dollars is to be demanded through
the courts from corporations in Cook
county for violations of the Illinois
statutes States Attorney Deneen will
make the demand in a few days by
filing 5000 suits, the largest batch ever
seen at one time in the Offices of the
court clerks of the county.
The purpose of these proposed suits
is to satisfy the law which calls on
every corporation in Illinois to file a
statement with the secretary of state
every year. Failure to comply is pun
ishable by a fine of $50 day There
are $4,000 corporations whose names
are on the books of the secretary of

days elapsed since they became de-
linQuents makes total liability to the
state of $4,000 for each corporation

Dukes Earls and Baronets. Parliu-
ment would have granted them large
sums Of money to support these dig
mites, and the story Of their prowess
would haye been told as story of
achievements never before exampled
in war. The gallantry of British
officers in exposing themselves to fire
in South Africa is now extolled in
England as a novel exhibition i'm war;
yet in Cuba and the Philippines it
has been and is still equalled, if not
eXcelled, by American officers.
Meantime, how is it here A
craven crew are holding conventions
and circulating incendiary literature
for the purpose of increasing the
risks and hardships Of our troops in
the Philippines and in the vain effort
to incite them to mutiny. A vile
political party is encouraging and
abetting this assault on our soldiers
in the desperate hope that by con
tributing to bring defeat to our arms
it may gain advantage at the cleo
tiOus of next month.
Can Americans look upon this
distinction between the tone and at
titude of England and of their own
country in the face of war without
shame and humiliation? Have Amer
leans become so degenerate a breed
that next month they will not demon

craven crew who would reward the
heroism of American soldiers by
