This is the dirtiest piece of politics ever
played by an Illinois republican," said Sen
ator Mason today, referring to a letter
which has been sent him by friend in the
twentieth congressional district. This let
ter Is signed by Fred H. Rowe, as chair
man Of the republican state committee, and
shows that he Is using the party organiza-
ton in the interest of Representative A. J.
Hopkins senatorial candidacy. Mr.. Rowe
should resign his chairmanship. As head
of the party organization he has no right
to show any preference for any candidate
in this contest and in writing this letter
he does q rank injustice to every other man
in the race" -s.s

been forwarded to Senator CuIlom, and he
is as much stirred up over its alleged i'm
propristy as Mason, although not willing to
talk for publication.

The anti-anarchst bill, which will be re-

This Is provision giving to foreign am
bassadors and ministers accredited to Wash
inston protection against assaults, and pun
ishing with death any such assault which
results in the death of a foreign ambassa-
dor minister
The section providing severe penalties for
conspiracies in this country against foreign
rulers does not, however, embrace ambas-
sadors and ministers, as Chairman Ray of
the Judiciary committee, who is drafting
the report, feels that great care Is neces-
sary not to exceed the constitutional right
to punish crimes originating within the
states The protection of foreign rulers
against conspiracies is considered justified
by the law of nations, but it is not deemed
expedient to extend this to ambassadors
and ministers residing here.

DOCTORS AND NEWSPAPERS.

THERE is a lot Of sound sense and
some local application in the re-
marks made recently by an Illinois
physician to a gathering of his brother
practitioners in that state As prac-
tically all laymen know, regular prac-
titioners have a code of ethics which
vigorously prohibits everything that
has semblance of advertising, es-
pecialiy newspaper advertising.
How the code originated or why it
should be continued in effect, perhaps
some Of the regulars might have diff
Guilty in explaining. for certainly other
professional men OF equally high stand
ing with physicians have no hesitation
about letting the public know who,
what and where they are. The author

been made is DR.. J. w. Pettitt of OF
tawa. He said in part:

THE REMINGTON CASE.

= INCE SOLOMON wrote his song of
y songs. the song that throbbed with
the passion of a love that many waters
could not quench nor floods drown,
men and women have loved and lost.
loved and won. Love has caused death
and crime and misery, but~love has
made more JOY, more happiness. more
radiant brightness in this gray old
world than ever it has made of trag-
edy. For love of woman man has
fought and died since the universe was
young: for love OF man woman has
toiled and sacrificed in silence.
And Of all the bitterness that falls 10
the lot of men and women the bitter
est of all is unrequited love. Hamlet
said: For who would bear the
pangs OF despised love when he
himself might his quietus make with
bare bodkin?'' One of New York's
most prominent young society men is
dead at Newport by his own hand be-
cause the girl he loved had broken
their engagement.
For Robert T. Remington all the
brightness passed out of life when Miss
th @AACil, At Ilc request Oh ncI IdlAlcIi
told Remington she would never be
his wife. He had high social position,
youth and ability. The world holds no
greater catalogue of desirabiIities than
this for most men. But Remington was
not satisfied. In ali the wide circle of
his female acquaintance there was
only one woman for him, and that one
rejected his suit.
So he fought his distress a few days
and nights. Then he killed himself.
Was he TO blame? Of the dead nothing
except good, says the ancient proverb,
but Remington had no right to take
his own life. The philosophy of Ham
let is a false philosophy. Beautiful
though it may sound to the soul de-
pressed, it has no place in modern life
and manners
No man has a right to kill himself
for love, or for any other reason. Rem
1ngton should today be an honored
member OF society, useful citizen q
trusted friend. He was all this in life
he has sacrificed it all by the manner
of his death.
NOR Is the woman to blame. If she
didn't want 10 marry Remington if
was her inalienable right TO refuse
him. and it was his duty to hear the
burden with as fine a manhood as he
could muster.

A PREMIUM ON MURDER.

MURDER. UNDER THE GUISE of
wi dueling, is being glorified in Ger
many just now. 1t will be remembered
that just few months ago Lieutenant
Hildebrandt killed Lieutenant Blasizo-
WITT under circumstances that were
peculiarly distressing to people of
normal sensibilities. Blaskowitz, while
intoxicated and entirely irresponsible.
accidentally struck Hildebrandt. He
didn't know what he had done until he
received. the next morning. a chal-
lenge 10 fight a duel.
\ sO-called court of honor decided
that. in spite Of the circumstances sur
rounding the case. the encounter must
take place. To the ordinary individual
il must seem that Hildebrandt's extra
ordinarily delicate honor might have
been satisfied by a shot in the air
He didn't view the matter in that
light. on the contrary he aimed to
kill and he did kin Rlaskowitz.
All Germany was startled by the
murder. startled by its cold-b looded
deliberateness as we'll as because of
the fact that Blaskowitz was to have
been married within a few days. Hill
debrandt was tried, convicted and SEN
fenced to serve term OF years in
prison. In this country he would not
have escaped so easily. but his pun
ishment was lighter than his country
men believed it would be.
on the last day of July, after serving
IN nominal confinement only a few
months of his sentence. Hildebrandt
was pardoned by the emperor Ever
since he has been the guest of honor
at a continuous series of entertain
ments given by German army officers.
Once more he has taken his place with
his regiment. free to fight and kill his
brother officers on occasion and on no
occasion. OF the manner in which
Hildebrandt has been treated a dis
patch from Berlin says:
