on his sOn-in.lawshlp and on his cheek.
This man only IA few years ago was a
member Of the Legislature from one Of
the country districts down In the
State, and while In the Legislature was
one Of the handiest and most bare

his term expired his family influence

the heads Of thousands Of old Chicago

with high family influence discredits.
Although only two years In the city,

the high Office, where he IL perched
through family favOritism, and lodged
In the county jail, where he belongs.

BAR WANTS MORE JUDGES.

In connection with his report rs
President ut the annual meeting Of the
Chicago Law Institute, In Judge Glib
b0ns' courtroom, Thomas J. Holmes
took up the question Of the. laws de-
lay. which has been agitatlng the bench
and bar of Chicago for some time.
Pertinent suggestions looking to re-
form In this direction were Endorsed by
President Holmes as receiving the ap'
proval Of the majority Of practicing at
torneys.
Mr.. Holmes suggested to the men,
bcrs of the institute that the increase
Of the County and Probate Court busl-
ness in Cook County had increased to
such an extent that additional judges
are needed to preside In these courts
and recommended legislative action In
this regard.
The report OF the Secretary, Alfred
Il. Barr, showed the membership Of the
Law Institute TO he now 100. During
the past year six members of the insti'
tute have died-Hope Reed Cody, Hen
ry q. Miller, Norman Williams, q. w
Duwalt, Rufus King and Judge Rich
ard Prendergast. Clarence 4. Burley
Treasurer, reported the finances of the
Institute to be In good condition.

INTERVIEW WIN JUDGE CARTER.

Judge q. y. Carter was asked Mon.
day II he was a candidate for Governor.
lie replied:
II am not prepared to say what will
be done. A number of Republicans
from all parts Of the city have called
on me to ask me to stand for the nom.
lnatiOn. ! see no reason why any Re-
publican should not he u candidate for
Office. The simple fact that some Re.
publican In county has announced
himself rs candidate for Governor
should not operate to prevent somc 9th.
or Republican from the same county
from making the same announcement.
Then the people could decide between
them. We have primary election law
In this county which was designed to
give voters Of any party the opportunity
Of expressing their wishes In the matter
Of nominations.
MY visitors told me there was n
widespread feeling among the Rcpubli-
cans Of Cook County against the atti.
tudc which few party managers had
assumed. 10 quote them, they said:
We object to being delivered to any
candidate without as much us asking
our leave They said no four or five
men had the right to speak for IN en-.
tire country. and they also told me this
sentiment was manifest In all parts Of
the county.
II told them that naturally when n
number Of citizens asked mo to do VIVA,
they wanted mo to do, should have ia
take the matter under advlscment aud
consider 1t seriously"
1t was given out Monday that Judge
Carter would be brought out as u can.

JUDGE CARTER WILL run.

There seems to be u growing DISPOSE.
ton Oh the pnrt Of the opponents of the
machine delivery of 500 delegates from
Cook County to Judge Hanecy to urge
Judge q. N. Carter to enter the race
for Governor. This does not proceed
from any intention to reflect on the can
didacy Of Judge Hanccy, but from the
natural resentment of Republicans
against the assumption of the ma.
chimes power to deliver the solid dele
CATION without consulting the voters.
1t IL felt that II Judge Carter were to
enter the race Judge Hanecy would
have to make a canvass In every ward
to vlndicate his claim to be the free
choice Of Cook County.
If in an open and fair contest between
Judges Carter and Hanecy the latter
were to secure n majority Of the dele
gates It would 20 long way to max.
Ing him the choice of a solid delegate
from this county. But II Judge Carter
were to get the majority It would sig.
Nifty that the machine had made claim
that It was unable to maintain.
SO there Is nothing In the candidacy
Of Judges Hanecy and Carter that
should restrain Fred A. Bussc from en-
terIng the field for the state Treasurer
ship. Whether the nominee for Gov.
crnor shall or shall not come from Cook
County, Mr.. Busse hus a right to seek
the nomination for the Treasurership.
He should certainly he in u position TO
make strong fight for It In case the
convention sees fit to nominate either
Mr.. Reeves or Mr.. Yates. both of whom
are entitled to come into Cook County

The Tlmes.Herald welcomes the can.

more interest excited over the primaries
the more likely are they to represent

"PLACE2"

a few months ngo the Mayor sent u
communication to the Council In which
he said considerable revenue could he
secured for the city by passing an Or
dinancc charging the occupants of
space under sidewalks streets and al.
leys rental of 81 per square foot
therefor. No action has been taken on
the Mayors recommendation. Proba bly,
none will be because of its manifest
inexpediency.
There Is ut present an ordinance
which allows the owners of abutting
property to use the space under the
sidewalk on obtaining a permit, for
which n nominal fee Is charged, ana
agreeing to build. maintain and keep
in repair the sidewalk. This II what
Judge Tuley recommended nearly
thirty years ago when Corporation
Counsel. lie did not question the right
Of the city to charge a rental for side.

and maintaining Of the sidewalk was
reasonable compensation. That has
been the policy Of the city ever since.
That policy cannot be changed as re-.

II has been customary for persons
wishing to use space under alleys or
streets to obtain special permission

space without permission certainly
would he trespass. 1t Is In the power
of the Council when future applicable
are made for the use of space under
streets and alleys to charge n rental
therefor, but II should be reasonable.
Otherwise no revenue will be derived
from this source. 4 rental of 81 per

THE NOMINATION OF ALDERMEN

A local Republican newspaper de-
clares that the primaries for the nom
nation of Aldcrman--prcsumably Re
publican candidates for Alderman
should be held at an early day. The
Aldermhnlc election will occur April 3.
The organ thinks that the primaries
should be held In the fore part of Feb
ruary. 1t Is argued that early nomina-
tons would afford the voters ample OPP
portunity TO study the characters of
candidates ana to reject those not tit to
sit In the Council.
But there Is danger that early prl-
marles will be of the "snap' order. ia
be sure, In many wards independent
voters could defeat bad candidates nom
mated by snap methods. But In strong
Republican wards the candidate would

he nominated and elected he would be
as good Governor as any man whose

During his term of service on the
bench Judge Carter has earned and OBJ
tanned the respect of all Republicans
and of the people of this county IRE
