some bitter opposition in some quar-

of Roberts this week are regarded AS
little short of confession of his

appear before the committee as q

his brief submitted to the committee

committee to investigate the charges
against him. But his bubbles will

to the disposition of the commit.

charge NJ the rate of not exceeding
cents for the first twenty years. The
animus Of the law became apparent
when, immediately following IT'S sigra-
ture, the syndicate which controls the
street railways of Chicago caused to be
introduced in the council of that city
a bill giving IL 50-year extension of
franchise rights ON ridiculously low
terms OF compensation. Thereupon the
decent press of Chicago took up the
matter, exposed the rottenness of the
political connection between the street
railway syndicate and the sponsors of
the Allen bill and of the Yerkes fran
chise ordinance, and by dint OF con-
tinuous and unrelenting effort carried
the matter into every legislative dis
trict of the state and elected a new
legislature pledged to repeal the Allen
bill. In the meantime, as our readers
may recall, the Yerkes ordinance was
beaten and new franchise grant, with
a 20-year limit and the payment of
equitable compensation, was substi-
tuted
one day this week Governor John r.
Tanner of Illinois, had placed before
him a bill repeating the obnoxious bill
which he had so subsequently signed
the session before. The word had gone
forth that he would veto the repeater;
but when he reviewed the situation
and found the legislature in mood to
pass the repeater over his veto he wise
~ reconsidered the matter and fell in
line with the procession. And thus the
Derpetration of great wrong was
averted and a wholesome object lesson
was given to professional corruption
ists-owing chiefly to the independence
ana courage of three splendid news
papers, the Chicago Times Herald,
Record and Tribune.

Real Ballot Reform.

As noted yesterday the Keator ballot
bill has passed second reading in the
state house OF representatives. The es-
sential feature OF this bill Is the safe
guard which it throws around the ad-
mission of helpers into booths to mark
the ballots of disabled voters. The
Keator bill provides that a voter shall
be permitted to have assistance in pre-
pairing his ballot only whore, under
oath, he states that he cannot read the
ballot or frDm physical cause is un-
able to mark II. The helper must sub
scribe tn IN oath or affirmation that
he viii not attempt TO influence the
voter or disclose the contents of the
ballot. and the election officers must
record opposite tn" name of the voter
the name of the helper"
At present, if any voter declares to
the judge of election that by reason
of any disability he desires assistance
in the preparation of his ballot. the
judge shall permit MIN to select a quail
flied voter 10 mid him in the prepara-
ton Of his ballot The mere applica-
ton of the voter for assistance makes
it obligatory upon the Judge to permit
him to hav. such assistance. The
practical effect of this as the Phila-
delphia Ledger recently pointed out, is
that voters who are Ncnal or under
coercion take politicians into the booths
with them, and the secrecy of the bal
lot is lost, even il actual corruption
or coercion IS not accomplished.
The keator bill. as reported to the
house, also cmbodics the essential fea-
lures of the Maltin bin abolishing party
circles ana grouping the names of the
various candidates with reference to
the office rather than with reference
TO the party. This as has been fire.

The Power of the Press.

An interesting illustration Of the
power of honest and intelligent news
paper agitation to effect public reforms
is supplied in Illinois in the repeal Of
the notorious Allen bill The logisla-
ture of that state fell into the control
OF ring of Cook county politicians
who in ideals and methods represented
about all that was debasing in public
life. These men entered into an agree
ment with certain corporate influences
to put through a law which was sub
sequently enacted and signed, the gov
ernor Of Illinois, John Il. Tanner, lend
ing his Endorsement to the scheme.
This law, known as the Allen law,
authorized municipalities to grant
franchises for street, cable, and cleo

Techinicality VS. Justice.

We called attention Il few days ago
TO the curious law points involved in
the case of the Brooklyn clubman, Mol
iuouX, under Indictment for sending
poison which caused the death of a
Mrs Adams The most rotable of
these concerns the accountability of
man who while holding evil intent to-
ward one person is unintentionally in
sLrumental i'm sacrificing the life of an
other. The prosecution in the Nolin"
euX cas-" will it is announced. claim
that MolineuX stands before the law
exactly as the burglar does who, being
surprised in burglary, fires = pistol
with intent TO kill the man who has
surprised him i'm the act, but whose
bullet, instead of hitting the intended
victim, strikes another person and kills
him; or that MolineuX, before the law
is in the same position as a man who
aims pistol at one person with intent
to murder him, but whose aim Is poor,
and whose shot kills another person,
whom the murderer did not know, and
whose death he did not desire. In 9TH
or words, it will be held by the prose-
cation that the law presumes malice
when a person engaged IN committing
a felony also does an act which he did
not really intend to do.
But technicality hereupon arises.
We Use the words of Holland" the
New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press: THE facts are that
Cornish received the bottle of bromo
seltzer several days before he opened
it. Il was in his hands at least forty
eight hours after the mail carrier de-
liNered it TO HIM After that lapse of
time he opened the bottle, took from it
the amount customarily given for the
cure of sick headache, and it was this
portion that caused the death which
led to the indictment of MolneuX. II
Cornish, Immediately after receiving
the bottle, had Opened it and given
some of its contents to Mrs. Adams the
familiar principle of the law would un-
doubtedly apply in this case, but il is
regarded here as a very serious uues
tion whether after several days, dur
lug which this bottle was in the exclu
sive possession of Cornish, that delay
ioes not completely disconnect the Civ
ing of the drug 10 Mrs. Adams from
he high felony OF which Molineux Is
now accused" This, it is understood
will be the line of argument of the de.
fence an argument which will be sup-
ported by the best ability and keenest
iegal ingenuity that great wealth car
employ.
Without endeavorng to try this par.
ticuler case in the newspapers but
simply as a matter of public interest II
would seem that no intelligent MIND
could ever be confused into eXonerat,
ing the sender of a poison because the
recipient failed to use it until some
time after its receipt. Unless there Is
more - the Molineux defense than thi.

wherein he is a voter. The money thus
collected is to go to the school fund
This remedy for civic indifference
does not possess the favor of the people.
But it is possible that a time may come
when the community in general will
perceive the necessity of protecting it,
self from the citizen who shirks his
public obligations. If this shirkeer
alone had to bear the evil consequences
of his shirking the crime would carry
its own punishment; unhappily while
the shirker hurts himself by his neglect
of civic duties he hurts others as we'll

PERHAPS a law providing that three
consecutive failures to vote shall pes

adequate excuse would cover the
ground. The disfranchised citizen
would constitute a walking horrible OK
ample before the eyes Of all men. The
roll of such unfrocked citizens would be
a roll of dishonor. Few honorable men
would care TO get on it; and as for dis
