had lived more than four months In
this country ana had studied American
criminal Jurisprudence he would have
found that American judges are not SO
free as British judges in that they
have less authority. but that political
motives and Influence do not affect
them In murder cases. If judges here
had the authority they have In En-
gland there would be more convictions.
The trouble is that juries prefer to nc.
quit II any plausible reason for doing
so can be found. The same people
who take human life so recklessly in
personal or industrial quarrels seem
to be beset by the notion that the
state ought not to take the life of a
man or keep him In prison till he dies
because he has murdered somebody.
The citizens of a state. when ashamed
of the murder record 1t has made, will
provide better police system for the
prevention Of crime and apprehension
OF criminals. They will revise and
strengthen their weak and lax crimi.
nal Jurisprudence. When drawn as ju.
rors they will have fewer maudlln
scruples about finding men guilty Of
murder. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
should study the subject Of crime in
America more thoroughly before he
makes specific recommendation OH the
subject.

TAXATION IN CHICAGO.

To a dispasslonate observer it would
certainly look as II the majority of our
charter reformers have become mad on
the question Of taxation.
From start to finish il has evidently
been the idea of these people that the
main point in amending the city char
ter Is 10 do 1t in a way that will af-
ford every conceivable opportunity Of
wringing taxes out of the peoples
pockets on every or any possible pre-
text.
1t began with the proposition to en-
power the city government to increase
its bonded Indebtedness, and it has run
the whole gamut Of 1.-THE tune that
pays the piper until it struck the high
note In the following proposition at the
meeting OF the City Council Committee
on State Legislation Wednesday last:
"That the powers Of the City Coun-
Gil be extended TO pass ordinances for
the taxing and licensing OF all Occu-
pations, business enterprises and
trades 1t shall see fit in order to in
crease the city's revenue" To embOdy
this preposterous idea in the draft Of
an amendment TO the charter Is the
task the Council committee has assign
I'd to the Corporation Counsel. The

THE MAYOR'S VETO.

One of the most useful provisions Of
our present municipal code Is the pow
or of the Mayor TO veto mischiev-
GUS, inadequate or useless legis.
this power has never been wllfully
abused: ana it has never been eXer-
clsed more fearlessly and beneiicially
for the public than by the present in
cumbent of the MnyOral chair.
In discussing the probable veto Of
the twelve.hour day ordinance for the
Fire Department, some one has been
quoted as saying. 1T Is not exactly
fair to make the Mayor take the onus
of the matter when Aldermen are re-
sponsible simply because they want to
be good fellows ut the expense of the
public with the public's money!
Whatever may be said as to this,
and much might be said, the principal
consideration in connection with 1t Is
the fact that the present Mayor has
never been afraid under any clrcum-
stances to do his duty by the public in
exercising the veto prerogative. and
that Is something for which the public
and the taxpayers have reason to be
thankful.

AN UNiNFORMED ORiTIC ON AMERi.
CAV JURISPRUDENCE.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Is horrified
by what he justly calls 1.-The appalling
number" of hOmcldes in the United
States. He says Americans are our
own stock"--that Is not so true as it
was fifty years aGO--and "can have
no more and no less tendency to law
lessness than We" In three years
there were $1,000 hOmicides in the
United States, while the loss of the
British army in Africa from all causes
for the same length of time We're only
$4,000. DR.. Doyle cannot understand
why the single States of South Caro-
lima and Georgia should each have
more murders than the British EN-
pre-. The novelist does not say, as
some Englishmen have in the past,
that American lawlessness Is the nee

faith that they with their energy and

stamping out this "hldeous growth Of
crime" This friendly critic of condl.

admit are deplorable. believes he I'M
derstands their cause. He says 1.-THE
law Is loosely administered" He pre-
sumes the judges are not SO free as In
England and are Influenced by political
motives--'there Is pull hither and

STRIKE 4 BLOW AT me lOBACCO
TRUST.

The members OF the next Legisla-
ture who are anxious to render their
country and their State Il service by
striking blow at the trust evil,
should begin by aiming for results.
There il one way In which the State
Legislature of Illinois can accomplish
something In this way that will be of
benefit to the country and the people,
and make Il winning move toward the
sustainment of the antitrust principle
now ms strong among the people as
1.-THE first law OF nature" Itself.
This Is to take n hand IN the fight
against the New York Tobacco Trust,
which has already spread throughout
the country.
This can be done by intelligent leg
islatlon ut Springfield and that In a
way that will be hot only effective as
to the principle of antitrust, but OF
great benefit to a large number of the
best ana most influential citizens Of
Chicago AMI of the State of Illinois.
The leaders in this crusade against
one of the most olious and intolerable
features of the trust evil are the indie
pendent tobacco dealers OF Chicago.
They have been lighting against the
extinction Of their business by the New
York Tobacco Trust, and their position
and efforts have been greatly strength
ened by recent decision of Judge
Lambert, OF Plymouth, Mass, who has
decided that the combine is viola ting
the laws.
The first conviction under the anti
trust laws has been followed by an
order withdrawing all rebates and spe-
cial privileges allowed to Chicago job
bers who had been sworn to sell none
but trust goods on penalty of being
driven out of trade.
The cancellation of rebates will free
them from the yoke Of the trust and
allow them to join In the antitrust
fight.

VICE AND us MEANING.

The paradoXical definition of vice,
that 1t Is virtue carried to excess, il
true at least thus far: that any excess
is vicious. Men may work themselves
to death; they may drink themselves
into nervous wrecks. using nothing
worse than tea or coffee; they may
lose all they possess by gambling"
through taking too great chances In
business. \ man may exercise him
self into uselcssness. So much has
been said In recent years of the I'M
portance of exercise that every one adj

like Senator Evarts of New York. who
once said that he owed his long life
and good health to the fact that he
never took any exercise. Many u

pleases him, discovers that he has

the tobacco business In Chicago Is
strong and will be followed out, the
leaders of the movement are of the
opinion that 1t would be a splendid Ol,-
portunity to make test of the ability
of the State Legislature to strike
blow ut the evil in this city.
Leaders Of the Legislature have al
ready had their attention drawn to this
matter and The Eagle would earnestly
urge It's many friends and subscribers
who are members of the Legislature to
help on this movement for legislative
action In the premises.
