From the Chicago Record:

Hail and now confines his attention to
the offices whose pay rolls are under
the supervision of County Comptroller

county offices offer far better fields for

Yesterday cmissarics of the loan
brokers visited the two buildings AMI

tiers. and even went into some of the
courtrooms while the Judges were sit

Wherever capital punishment exists
there is talk about Its ineffectIveness as

Kidnapping Is crime so viciously un.
reasonable and SO much resembling
murder In Its effects upon the friends
Of the victim and SO likely In many in.
stances to result In that crime that
legislative bills providing for the death
penalty In case Of conviction find very
general approval. Certainly as between
the death penalty and term of i'm.
prlsonment shorter than that provided
for second degree murder, the general
sentiment would approve the former.
Out Of the legislative discussion Of the
subject, which has been SO quickened
by recent events, some satisfactory
conclusion as to the punishment for
the crime should be reached, and II
should be severe enough to make the

According to expert testimony on the
subject. the automobile Is not likely to
follow In the footsteps Of the bicycle
SO far as cheapening Of Its price IL
concerned. SO popular has the horse
less carriage become that It has been
generally hoped that the prices would
soon be forced down to point where
the vehicle would come within the
reach of a much larger class of users.
On this subject, however, the Electrical
Review speaks very obviously, declar
ing that the cost of construction In the
case of an automobile Is SO large that
a reduction In the selling price Is not
likely to take place for some time to
come. To this fact the Review adds
the information that the demand for
the machines Is, so far, considerably In
excess of the supply, fact that will
naturally tend to keep the prices up.
The Review comes to the conclusion,
however. that so popular ana useful
has the automobile become rs a means
of pleasure, recreation ana for purposes
of business transportation, that the
price will not seriously retard Its more
extended Use. an opinion that finds con-
flrmatiOn In the constantly increasing
number of these useful and convenient
vehicles seen In all the large cities of
the country.

In the time Of Claudius, King of Den
mark, there may have been a divinity
hedging kings, though the suddenness
with which Claudius himself shufiied
off this mortal coil indicates that the
divinity didn't hedge him to any great
extent. But In the present age 1t is
quite evident that though princes con-
tinue to maintain the assumption Of d.
vine right-which necessarily implies
divine prOtectlOn-they are particularly
careful to supplement that protection
with carnal and temporal measures
against anarchists, nihilists and other
fOrcible critics Of royalty. The elabO-
rate police precautions taken to pre-.
vent the blowing up of half the royal
ties Of Europe ut VictOria's funeral
show very clearly that the royalties
themselves use the divine right idea
for publication only. For practical
purposes they prefer to have squad
Of detectives close at hand and troops
within easy hail

\ Chicago judge administered a
pointed criticism to that tendency of
American boys who seek what Is
known as "genteel employment in
preference to some trade that would
be less clearly but more lucrative. The
culprlt was a clerk, AZ years old, who
had been engaged In the one line of
work all his life. He received IS a
week and tried to support family on
that amount. During the winter his
wife passed through severe illness
and the doctors bills expanded. AS a
result the family was In want, and the
clerk was sorely tempted. He stole a
box of handkerchiefs and was detected.
The judge let him Off with purely
nominal sentence, but took occasion to
score stlngingly the spirit that leads
many young men to cling to clerical
work. The judge made the declaration
that the average young American
would prefer to work In store at from
| SO to so per week rather than engage
In honest toll at a trade at twice or
perhaps three times the remuneration.
The tradesman supports his family as
1t should be supported, has less eX-
pense, dresses less extensively, and in
many ways finds means for saving
money that are denied to the clerk

The great character of Bismarck will
always be n fruitful and interesting
study. Here was strong man, strong
In every sense. both physical, mental
and spiritual. But this unusual
strength was under unusual control
and this control gave him that power
so much needed-rescrved power. The
love letters Of this powerful man have
recently been published and the source
of his self.poised nature Is revealed
therein. Possessed Of enormous infiu.
ence ana of opportunities unparalleled,
he remained pure ana incorruptible. 1t
is patent from the letters written to
his wife that the absolute fidelity and
purity Of his domestic relations were
to be found In the love and respect he
entertained for n woman who was to
him the one woman Of all the world.
A man Of strong passions and subject.
ell to peculiar temptations, he could
fearlessly go into the world. for he had
built about him a wall Of affection
that no evil influence could scale. II
is n revelation of sweetness. This great
creator Of German unity was bound
by the tenderest ties for many busy
years to the wife of his youth, and
never ceased TO love her.
