With bankrupt city treasury and
no brighter prospects In this regard for

There is no need of compiling any adj

goes into every detail of the traction

were required. however. all need he
done was to get the statements of an
other city expert. one Richie. before
the legislative committee of the

of the former commission. and so on

What the people now want is not in
formation on the subject. but action.

4 WELL.MERiTED REBUkE.

If 1t be true that the federal grand
jury recently indicted George T.. Cole.
president of the Legislative Voters
League. the incident may have n salu-
tary effect in public and political life
here in Chicago. The ground upon
which tle Indictment is said tn have
been voted was using the mails for the
circulation of matter iniuriously re-
flccting upon the character and conduct
of Senator Thomas T.. Milchrist. The
further statement that the grand jury
reconsidered its action does not dctrnct
from the significance of the occurrence.
There can he no doubt I'm the mind of
any thinking person that our sclfcon.
stituted ccnsOrial organizations which
undertake to instruct the public as
to how and for whom they shall vote
at elections have systematically taken
unwarrrnnted and even outrageous ILL
critics with mems characters.

man becomes Il candidate for % public
office he then and there becomes fair
game for every individual or quasi.pule
lie or political organization I'm the com.
munity to hound down and SANDER
Even a candidate for public office has
some rights and the law extends to his
character and reputation the same pro-
lection from calumny that 1t does to
those Of other citizens. II Is wcllthat the
public officers of the law seem to have
ut last become alive to the justice ana

WSORY" COMMITTEE.

In a recent edition of the Chicago
Chronicle there appeared the following
editorial comments regarding the So
called Democratic advisory" commit,
tee:
There are two points relative to the
Mayors advisory committee which
should not be lost sight of.
The committee will either name a
ticket and draft platform without au-
thorlty or 1t will be persuaded to in.
dorse II ticket and platform presented
by some of the regular bosses also
without authority.

slatc-making, dlctatlon ana manage

tasteful to Democrats. 1t Is certain
that the Mayors committee will under
take something in this line, or failing
in that, be used to give some sort Of
respectable Endorsement TO dlscredited
bosses who may remain in the back

SNAFFLiH0NHs MiScHiEFMAkERS.

At its last meeting the Cook County
Democracy. on the motion Of Senator
Joseph T.. Niahoney. adopted a rule pro.
viding that all resolutions of n political
nature shall In future he presented to
the Committee on Political Action be-
fore being read In public.
Certain individuals present at the
meeting objected to this rule. ana with
the usual frothy fume Of demagoguery
denounced It as gag law.
1t Is really amusing how trippingly
these trte old stock phrases come from
the lips Of ignoramuses who know 40
little about the meaning Of the Ian
guage they indulge In.
The generally accepted definition Of
gag law Is a code under which the right
Of free debate on all matters properly

ering IL denied. This Is very different
thing from the usual parliamentary pro
cedure Of referring all such subjects to
the appropriate committee for decision
as to the propriety Of such matters bt>
ing introduced. This Is precisely what
such committees are appointed for. But
for the creation and wise conduct OF
such bodies the general gathering, con-
vention or assembly could be thrown
into perpetual turmoil and disorder By
the introduction Of every irrelevant and
miscellaneous nonsense that any addle-
pated individual thought well Of
springing upon It.
The Eagle II credibly informed that
two lawyers. members Of the County
Democracy, who have become seized
with n desire to wander OF the reser.
vation," had prepared couple Of rabid.
truculent. slandero,is resolutions, and
proposed to Introduce them at the next
meeting Of the body In question.
Such a course would only be condu-
Give to a disgraceful scene and display
OF disorder that would reflect upon the
organization as a whole. 1t was there
fore the part Of wisdom to adopt, or
rather emphasize the adoption of the
old parliamentary procedure Of refer.
ring all resolutions to an appropriate
committee. ana thereby depriving mis-
chief.makers Of all opportunity Of
working their own sweet will to the
detriment OF the entire body.

FAIR PLAY tOR THE PACKERS.

One of the very greatest Industries
In the United States Is the packing IN.
dustry.
1t gives employment TO over JW.OO
men and women.
II brings wealth to the farmer and
money to the mechanic.
1t has turned the great prairies of
the West into grazing grounds for
millions of herds which are among the
most valuable assets Of our republic
and source of wealth to the whole
nation.
II IL mainly to the packing industry
that the fact Is due that America feeds
the world and that her great Northern
cities are built up by the hundreds Of
thousands Of mechanics that this
money gives employment to.
1t Is all well enough to talk Of beef
trusts.
The newspapers and the people who
are doing It are misstating the facts
and are sowing the wind.
They will reap the whirlwind.
They are sowing the seeds Of anarchy
In attacking the solidest and least spec.
ulative industry in America.
The Eagle has nothing In common
with the packers except a desire to see
our whole country prosperous and hap.
py.
Attacks upon an industry like the
packers will do no one any good and
will eventually do everybody harm.
Let demagogism take n back seat.
The packers should have fair play.
