Shadow Of a Great Glory

The crowning glory of the century
now drawing to close, which,
strangely enough is not noted by any
of the historians OF the epoch, is a
fact that i. has abolished human
slavery. a hundred years ago the
idea that one man might own another
and make merchandise of him WIS
everywhere tolerated and almost
everywhere sanctioned. Religion it
self searched holy scripture for justi-
fication of the hideous atrooity and
professed To find it. Even Denmark S
decree against this wrong did not
take effect till the enl of the year 1902
and Fronch legislati on did not finally
abolish slavery in the colonies until
1919. 1t was not until 1891 that
England dccreed emancipation and
not until 1910 that the decree took
effect, The ukasc of Alexander II.
abolishing the Russian serf system
was proclaimed in 1861 and our own
emancipation was not effected until
1860.
To-day the very thought of slavery
is discarded and it exists nowhere un-
der the flag of any great civilized ma
ton except in sulu and in modified
form in Hawaii, under liberation of
the great republic that bases its very
existance upon the doctrine of the
"inalienahle right of every human
beng to liberty. New York World

Lawyers Cost Money
These Days,

\ few days ago in the Probate
Court Of Cook county lllipois, Rob

President was awarded a fee of 1925,

of the late George NJ. Pullman
That is doubtless more money than

He Might Have '',
Killed Somebody

Last Saturday about noon W. w.
Anderson, lawyer of Denver, shot
Messrs. Tammen and Bontils, propri-
etors Of the Denver Evening Post,
sending in the most reckless manner
two IS calibre bullets-from Il Smith
4 Wesson revolver-through the body
of each of his intended victims. The
difficulty that lead to the shooting
seems to have arisen from quarrel
over the manner in which Anderson
had behaved III connection with his
efforts to liberate Alfred Packer from
a life sentence for murder. What.
ever may be said about the quarrel,
it seems certain that all etfor S Of the
Post in hehalf of Packer, were
prompted by generous, humane i'm
pulses and 1t is to be regretted that
a deadly weapon was resorted TO in
an argument concerning the impris-
oned man, Nearly week has passed
since the sensational shooting, and
both men are still alive; Tanmen
with almost certain chances of recov-
cry, and BonGls with the odds rather
against him II must be said TO the
credit Of the doctors that they are
discreet in not probing recklessly for
lost bullets, imhcddcd deeply in hu-
man flesh, for therein, lies greater
chance for life
The trial of Anderson will no
doubt develop the true situation Of
the facts OF the shooting. The
plucky viotlEs have our strongest
hopes for their recovery.
