There is probably no place in the
state where the question of whether Ii

loss of property, to say nothing of the

THE GREAT TRAGEDY PROBABLY Due
To CHEAP JOHN MANAGEMENT-The
Chicago Federation of Labor make the
charge that incompetence OF attaches
of the Inflated Iroquois Theater, was
responsible, to large degree, for the
fearful tragedy. 1t is alleged that the
lights, curtains and exits, were in
charge of incompetent pickup"
men paid 81 per night instead of the
fixed charges of expert men, $3.50. 1t
is claimed that the employee who
worked the light was an apprentice.
1t is likewise claimed that the failure
of the asbestos curtain to " DROP" was
not owing to the air current from the
broken sky light, as claimed, but that
it had failed to work the week before
when an incipient fire was exiting
uished, without eliciting any effort to
place it in working order. 1t is upon
such culpable neglect and mismanage-
ment as this that an effort is being
made to hold the proprietors for man
slaughter.

The" EXCETIlON Proves THE RULE"
-CoAiers for December calls atten.
ton to the paradoxical nature OF the
above expression and defines its origin,
which gives a rational reason for its
existence. 1t comes from the legal
proposition Erceptio probat reguiani,
which means that the exception taken
by the lawyer tests the ruling Of the
Judge, but as it happens to sound, it
seems to mean, The exception proves
the rule" and the stability OF the ak.
ION can thus be established only on the
reductio dd dbsu-tlum process of rea.
sOning. 1t must be admitted that If
the existence OF an exception is to
prove the accuracy OF generalization,
then no general proposition can be
false, and the easier it is to point out
an exception ihe more readily do we
support the rule. Many proverbs, aph-
orisms and maxims are wrong, declares
this critic, but probably none equals
in far.reaching absurdity, this CONVEX
sion of correct definition of law
into an Alice-in- wonderland principle
OF logic.
