PROBATE JUDGE Of COOK COUNTY.

The Republican candidate for PRO.
bate Judge of Cook County is the Hon.
Charles =. Cutting of Austin. lie is
favorably known as u lawyer and rs Il
man. The Probate Court of this county
Is one of the most important judicial
tribunals of the State. The amount
of property passing by will and 10y law
under the probate administration in
Cook County probably equals the
amount of property administered in an
the other counties of the state. The
Inheritance tax collectiblc In Cook
County exceeds by many fold the
amount of all the tax of the same kind
collected In other counties.
The Judge of the Probate Court has
nothing To do with the assessment and
collection of the Inheritance tax. hut the
fact Is Is cited here to illustrate the i'm
portance of the Probate Court. which
has jurisdiction over the settlement of
estates on which the Inheritance tax Is
collected.
Mr.. Cutting possesses all the quail.
hcntlons necessary TO u Judge of pro.
bate. He Is well equipped us n law.
yer. lie is u man of high character.
of dignity. of sincerity. of devotion. His
ambitions are honorable. lie will make
u record ~ Judge of the Probate Court
which will reflect credit upon himself.
upon his party and upon the people.

after may come within her bordersg"
There Is in this statement of the
question no mincing matters-no eva
sion of the paramount issue.
Mr.. Alschuler does not propose to re.
write the declaration of 1916 to suit the
greedy purposes of rapacious imperial
istc land-grabbers. lie accepts the old
declaration that ''nll men are born free
and equal" and that governments de-
rive their just powers from the consent
of the governed
lie does not believe in the possibility
of permanent republic made up of
part frccmcn and part subjects.
lie does not believe in criminal ag.
gression. lie says that If Mckinley I'm

Intention Ito acquire the Philippine
Islands. send there an army of 10000
men to shoot and kill and conquer and
forcibly annex and possess ourselves of
That territory. such declarations would
have been regarded as the vaporings of
n madman."
Mr.. Alsclulcr does not believe that
the doing OF these things is any the less
criminal aggression or incompatible
with American principles or any the
less repugnant to the eternal principles
OF liberty and right or any the less cal.

against an abuse of this power. That
is plain.
"A trust corporation enjoys the same
Kind of concession. Practically the mo.
nopoly combine can exist only as Il
corporation. but the corporation de-
rives its capacities from the state. 1t
is the duty of the State to protect the
people from an abuse of power by its
own creature.
THE corporation" as Mr.. Alschulcr
says. thus stands upon the same foot
ing as any persons who hold Il public
concession" If it exercises its powers
which are derived from the state In u
manner inimical to the best interests of
the public adequate means should he
provided through the law for the with
drawal of the corporate grant"
Mr.. Alschulcr goes further into the
subject. but this Is the main point.
The State may and should always
safeguard the people against an abuse
of power which II has itself granted to
its own creature.

The boy Is q iirst.class base ball play.
