A TERROR TO EVIL O0ERS
Illinois Has a Parallel to Joseph w.
Folk, of Missouri.
Stntc's Attorney Charles :. Deneen,
OF Cook Comfy, is n Man Who
Has "Made Good"

Chicago, Aug. 12-POlitics in Illinois
is taking such shape as 10 form an in
teresting parallel to the situation in
Missouri Not that the comparison tai
lies, point for point, but that the per
sonaities of two young men, who were
lifted to prominence upon the sole
platform of good service rendered,
gradually are dominating the arena
and loom up as guberEatorial candi-
dates.
Charles s. Dencen, states attorney in
Cook county, which Office corresponds
to that of circuit attorney in St. Louis,
who has been chief prosecutor in Chi
cago since 1896, started out to do his
duty as he saw it. A long record Of
important convictions stands TO his
credit. His name is 2 terror 10 law
breakers and 20 the class Of wire-pul-
lers who were accustomed to use the
states attorney in the furjherance Of
their schemes.
Before entering upon his duties as a
prosecutor Mr.. Deneen said publicly:
Il mean that the state attorneys Of
flee shall be conducted according to the
law made for it and the evidence fur
nished.
Il will indiCt man when there is
sufficient evidence to warrant a belief
in his guilt under the law He will be
tried, no matter what his social posi-
tion, religion, politics or color,
",f through no fault of our own he
fails of conviction and the jury disa-
grees, he will be tried again as quick
ly as possible.
"By the natural bent Of my mind the
criminal with influence and friends
will be prosecuted with greater vigor
than one who is penniless and friend
less.
The nolle pros will no longer be
used for building up the political intiu-
cnce of this Office or of fayoring friends
at the expense of justice.
"In the matter of bonds, the profess
sional bondsman, the straw bondsman,
the straw bailer and the bail dodger
will be welcomed with certain indict-
ment if attempting to defeat the pro-
cesses of the law"
Sweeping e-r-tions for young man
to make just as he enters upon a new
Office, in which he will be subject to
many temptations and in which obsta-
cles will be thrown in his path to de-
feat him at every turn.
But Deneen did precisely what he
promised. He has made good
