is not able to get possession of his
child. The judge who tried the case
said that it was child Of tender years
and unable to take the long overland
journey although the physician said
that the infant was well able to
travel fifteen hundred miles to Ne
braska. Every one who has travelled
knows that there are generally more
babies on the cars than grown people,
and that they are all healthy judy
ing from their healthy lungs. But
this remarkable New York judge
justified his unusual decision thus:
This is a child of tender years. 1t
is the duty OF the court to conserve
the best interests Of the child. There
is no good reason shown by the petit
tioner why he should have control of
the child. A journey of 1,600 miles
might indeed prove hazardous. / am

brilliancy OF his manner, extols such
a journey. The testimony of that
witness has no weight with me, alb

IL appears that in New York, il

to his sympathetic sister-in-law,
there is precedent for not getting her
back again. The judge announced to
the waiting father that he had de-

The Illinois LEADERSHIP.

A4e AkAAhsOAS A>SA8SASi1Rs
Mr.. Charles G.. Dawes will be en-.
gagged probably for the next eighteen
months in attempting to demonstrate
to the republicans of Illinois that he
is the man who will succeed Mr.. John
r. Tanner, the recent boss OF Illinois.
However Objectionable the boss may
be. there is one in every state. In
every machine there is a rod or belt
which conducts the power to all parts
of it and the multitudinous bars,
bolts. cogs, belts and shafts are moved
by a fire which burns somewhere
strenuously. In politics the motive
power, or energy, is the boss. By
means unseen. by the distribution of
offices. by knowing everybody and by
an undetinable and born capacity to
inspire confidence and liking in every,
or almost every human breast the
boss reigDs. Every machine is driven
by power. The machine must be so
constructed that the power is dis
tributed to all parts of the machine
so that no smallest part will exert a
contrary influence. Harmonious &C.
tiOn and reaction occur in a great
and useful machine. Be sure the
good engineer in politics understands
this principle. or one wheel would be
forever locking another. and the re-
suit is inertia.
In the next few months Mr.. Dawes
must demonstrate to Illinois his me.
chanical ability. There are many
applicants for the place he seeks.
Martin B. Madden, Senator Billy
Mason himself, and Frank o. Lowden
are three candidates already announc.
ed, and the assembling of the legis.
lature will flush mere. Mr.. Dawes
has great deal Of sense. He cam.
paigned with Yates, with Cullom and
with Tanner, last year, and at all
times his modesty and real ability
were apparent. When he made a
speech it was not so nOticeably supe-
rior to the other speeches as to make
the other men ashamed Of theirs. He
has smile as warm and as fascinat-
ing as Bryau's. Besides it is modest,
it allays any unfounded prejudice and
restores confidence in the administra.
tion or in any thing else the operator
desires to reestablish.

after the election last November, Mr..
Dawes set to work to build fence for
himself. "As politician, he knew it

duct OF the various concerns of life.
The rules are often very good, the
trouble is that circumstances only
occasionally fit the rules. A great
many people wonder why Christ did
not leave specific directions in regard
to card-playing, dancing, going to the
theatre. etc. The broad. general prin-
c;plas which he did originate are not
enough for the Journalists. Whereas
the true lover of his kind is not ham
pered by rules. His character and
mind have already been muscled and
prepared by the study and practise of
gospel principles and when he is in
action he is inspired. Such a man has
an undimmed vision. On ordinary
occasions Colonel Stotsenberg was
quiet man, he moved. spoke, and act
ed quietly. Therefore he had an i'm
mense reserve of energy in crisis.
In the short Luzon campaign into
which he poured the reservoir Of I'm
used energy, conserved through youth
for such time, he was like the silent
Grant, in the days which preceded
the surrender Of Lee. In choosing to
honor such man the cadets, or who
ever named the camp for Stotsenberg,
have placed themselves before
