A. W. Maltby had not long been
member of the common council as an
alderman from the Twenty-secOnd
when 1t was discovered that he was
decidedly his own master. his own
thinker. and that. under all circum.
stances. his conduct would be guided
by absolute integrity. He was
Democrat. hut his partyism was subor.
dlnate to his high sense of public duty.
He became early n propOnent OF fair
treatment of the city by the traction
companies and presently he found him.
self with opponents on all hands: Re.
publican opponents. corporate infiu'
ence opponents and Democratic ma.
chine opponents.
That did not disturb the alderman.
He went his way as u self.respecting
citizen bound, under all circumstances,
10 do his duty, and, while never carry
ing chip on his shoulder, determined
that he should pursue his own path
without let or hlndrance. The heather
may rage and the wicked imagine vain
things. but Maltby. whether or not he
should he returned as alderman, would
do his duty. Attempt was made to de-
feat his reelection two years ago. the
result being that he was triumphantly
reelected. And what further result IL
there? Continuing to discharge to the
full. fearlessly and uncomplainingly'
the duties he had undertaken TO dis
charge, stepping neither to the right
nor TO the left to placate this enemy OF
the public or that enemy or to guide his
course with reference to that implied
threat or this ingratiating promise, ht
did his duty under every circumstance
needless OF what the effect might bt
upon his political future.
And we lind to-day that Alderman
Maltby in the Twenty-second Ware
Is without opposition either from Dem
ocrats or Republicans. He will he re
nominated as a Democrat and elected
without opposition. The instance
shows that when the town Discovers
that 1t has in the public service al
officer who. without fear or favor, pro
poses 60 discharge his duty the publi
proposes on its part TO retain his ser
vices
The episode Is a useful lesson to trim
mers and time servers.

THE Wci0Vs WAREHOUSE Ac1
OF 1897.

The original warehouse law OF ILL
nOls provided In sufficiently explicit
terms that the operator Of a warehouse,
class A, should receive for storage only
the grain Of others, and should not
store nor deal In his own grain through
his own warehouse. II he bought or
stored his own grain and sold It, he had
an advantage which his customers did
not possess. This Is the spirit Of the
law Of 1871 relating to warehouses and
Of its amendments up to the session Of
the Doodle Legislature Of 1897.
The reasOnableness Of this law is
clearly set forth In the recent opirSou
Of Justice Cartwright Of the Supreme
Court In the warehouse cases. He says
that "where one person occupies re-.
latiOn In which he owes duty TO an.
other he shall not place himself In any
position which will expose him to the
temptation of acting contrary to that
duty or bring his interest In conflict
with his duty" 1t Is human rs we'll as
divine law that no man can serve two
| masters. No warehOuseman can serve
his own interests and at the same time
serve the interests Of his customer,
with whom he Is In competition as a
| trader In grain. Then the court says:
Courts Of equity have never allowed
a person occupying such Il relation to
undertake the service Of two whose In
terests are In conflict, but forblds such
a course of dealing, irrespective Of his
good faith or his bad faith. II the duty
OF the defendants as public warehouse
men stands In opposition to personal
interests, as buyers and dealers In grair
storing the same In their own ware
houses. then the law interposes pre-
ventive check against any temptation
to act from personal interest by prOhib
lting them from occupying any such pO
sltiOn."
This was the implication of the law o
1871, which clearly separates the bust
ness of a warehouseInan from tn
business OF a dealer In grain. a ware
house Is a public utility the operation
of which are regulated by law. 1t
owner, by buying grain, storing 1t i
his own bins without cost to himsel
and se!:isS u out, can pa. s'Hre 10
grain and sell for less than other trad
ers. To prevent this discrimination tn
law prohibiting warehOusemen froi
dealing In grain was enacted.

It Is stated by one who knows that
most important evidence has been OBJ

the warehouse bill in 1907. It Is also
claimed that certain middlemen, or 60

the sum Of money paid certain men,
bers, even having gone 80 far rs to
give away the names Of the persons
who were bribed.

II opens mems eyes to the way in which
franchise holders take toll of the money
of the poor.
Every investigation does good, no
matter how transparently partisan Its
purpose may be. There was the famous
Lexow inquiry, for instance. / once
asked a prominent New York judge
what permanent good it had done. 1.-THE
city has gone back into it's evil ways
said; "the police are taking toll of vice
just as they did before-though they
don't get the money themselves-the
business of letting contracts Is just as
crooked, the opportunities for plumber
are even vaster, with consolidation and
a larger city,"
"The Lexowing of the city did
pay" the judge replied. "If /
could not point to more than one
result, I should say that the new
board of police justices that we got out
of it pays, and more than pays, for that
inquiry. Think what an outrage 1t was
to have corrupt men, pugilists, the as
sociates of criminals, actually on the
bench of the lower courts-men like
Pat Diver. Those men are not on the
bench now. We have a respectable lot
of police justices, if one or two of them
are rather cranky. This change is of in
calculable value to the city,"
Lexowing, or Mazetting, is kind of
purgative of the body polite. 1t has
good effect, no matter what political
doctor prescribes it.
