THE JUDICIARY ELECTION.

Part of the duty of the voters next
election day will be 10 select Il full
set Of judges for the superior Court
bench OF Cook County.
This Is one of the most important
features Of that election.
In recent edition of The Eagle we
took occasion 10 point out the neces-
sity OF exercising great care at the
polls in the selection of members of
the next legislature, and We desire
here TO emphasize the fact that "A pure
and capable judiciary Is Of just as vi
tai necessity to the public.
While the legislature enacts laws,
il il the province of the courts TO adj.
minister them. With an able and up
right judiciary, vicious or unconsttu-
tional legislation can do but little, If
any, harm 10 the interests OF the PEG.
pie at large, In Cook County, in par
ticular, the interests coniided TO the
courts are enormous. Litigation in
volving millions upon millions Of dol
lars worth OF property interests and
trials involving the lives or liberties
Of scores OF citizens are conducted In
these courts.
This year the people have FORUM
ately an opportunity OF selecting a
splendid Superior Court bench. Both
parties have set up full ticket of ju'
dlcial candidates. From these il
should be the effort Of the voter 10
select the very best judicial timber
available.
This paper has always advocated
the nomination OF full tickets by both
parties in judicial elections, leaving
the final selection to the people them
selves. II has always opposed the 30

4 SERIOUS MATTER FOR THE CHi-
CA0O PUBLIC.

In the proposed requirement 10y the
city of Il number of street ear lines.
the franchises for which have either
expired or are about to expire, there
is involved u question much more i'm.
portant tn the people than any scheni-
ing or gallery play 10y political man
ayers or campaign manipuators, or
any question regarding the vested
rights or general interests of the
street car companies. This is the
question of public expediency.
The city proposes of course. when II
seizes upon these routes. TO either
tear up the tracks or pay for them.
Then it proposes to advertise for bids
from corporations to operate these
street car routes under municipal jur-
isdiction.
These are questions involving in
termnable discussion. running Oh per.
haps for months and months. Mean
closed to traffic. and the travelling pub
lie thus submitted to great inconven-
fence, hardship and loss.
The streets affected by the first or.
der Of the city council are as follows:
Adams street from Clark street to a
point 500 feet west Of Desplaines
/ street.
Desplaines street from Adams street
/ to Harrison street.
Harrison street from Desplaines
/ street to Western avenue.
Western avenue from Harrison
street to Twelfth street.
Twelfth street from Western ave
nue. to Crawford avenue.
These will. of course. be followed
Icy scores of others as the franchises eN.
pire. and the policy of the administra
ton Is pursued.
Now apart altogether from the ru
mors and suspicious of politics prevail
ing regarding this matter. and which
are elsewhere discussed by the Eagle
the question, as anybody who take,
time to consider 1t will understand II,
once. Is very grave and serious one
for the public. The next winter sea
son may see the people of the West
and North sides sorely and most In
jurlously affected by the condition,
which are bound to arise. Should til,
company tear up its tracks. they vii
have to be purchased ana relaid
should 1t allow them to lie In tn
streets and the city remove them. lon,
litigation may he the result. The nc
QUESTION Of power plants will mex
arise. and scores of other cOnsidera
tons now unforeseen.
In addition to being a serious ques
ton for the travelling public, 1t vii
also he very serious matter for tn
business interests of the entire city

ideas. because these arrangements
practically took the election of the ju-
dietary out of the hands of the PEG
pie.
The pcruiciuus bipartisan idea has
not been followed ont this year. Both
sides have presented their candidates:
II will he an easy matter for the voters
to select the best men. and they have
Il iirst.class field To select from. On
the Democratic shle there are. such
men as Judge Philip Stein. Joseph, n.
O'Donncll. Thomas NJ .-iloync and
George Mills Rogers. all splendid law
ycrs. men of the highest qualities as
citizens. and who would do credit to
the bench. ON the Republican side
there are also some good men named.
1t is to he hoped that the people will
take the trouble to pick out and vote
for the men most qualified for this
high office and thus maintain the
standard and reputation of the Su.
perior Court bench of Cook County.

ENFORCE the mix Law.

Good work Is being done by the Citi-
Zens Association, the Civic Federation
and other organizations Of public
spirited citizens in regard to the en-
forcement Of the milk ordinance.
That this work of supervision was
needed may be Judged from the fact
that the tests OF POI samples collected
from dairymen, restaurants, stores and
residences IN twenty.three different
wards show about four times rs much
or the market milk Of the city below
the legal grade as the Health Depart
ment reports indicate.
This amounts to u severe criticism
of the Health Department, inasmuch
as the investigation and analysis were
conducted under the supervision of
Professor Edwin o. Jordan, head of
the meteorological department of Chi
cago University, assisted by Drs. Fer
nand Ienrotln, W. Il. Jacques and \,
II. Delemater.
Will the Eagle thinks that much al
lowance should be made tn the Health
Department for inadequate staff and
geenral~supplies and appointments. II
Is nevertheless of the opinion that this
branch of municipal service will lose
more of public confidence by one such
report as this than it could gain by
fifty such Examinations as those which
make claims of unprccedentedly low
death rates, the best condition of pub
lie health IN the world etc. The milk
problem, as the report says, Is not only
a question of dollars and cents, buI
of life and death, health and disease
Bad milk not only means death Il

PRESBYTERIAN CONFERENCE.
The General Assembly In Session at
Buffalo, N. Y.

Buffalo, y. Y, May 19.-The 11GtH
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
church OF the United States convened
here Thursday, with very large at
tendance There are in all 40 COM
missioners entitled to seats in this
General Assembly which is the court
of last resort for the Presbyterian body
in this country representing 100, 900
people. 1890 congregations, and 1850
ministers, some ministers having more
than one congregation.
One Of the main questions to be con-
sidered is an overture from the COM
mittee Of the Cumberland church which
seeded from the parent body in 1919
and was organized as Il separate
church. The secession was made on
doctrinal ana educational grounds
PredestinatiOn and the educational
qualifications for the ministry were
among the grounds of dissent.
The overture from the Cumberland
body made to Il committee Of which
looks TO reunion with the parent body.
The plan of the proposed union will
give rise to an interesting debate.
While TIE Presbyterian General As
sembly is meeting here the General
Assembly of the Cumberland church
will be simultaneously held at Dallas,
Tex.
Upon their decisions depend the
question whether the Cumberland
church shall be restored to Christian
fellowship with it's membership of
$4,000, mostly i'm the South ana South
west. Upon this decision also will de-
pend the future maintenance of q sep
arate colOred church with separate
PresbyterieS as now are being main
tanned under the Cumberland jurisdic-
ton. -
A communication has been received
from the Springfield preSbytery re-
cNesting that the report Of the COM
mittee on the matter be recommittcd
until action has been taken concerning
certain proposed grounds of amalga-
nation. 1t is thought by some that
the terms in the proposed agreement
are likely to defeat it's purpose. I.du-
cational endeavor will also have Il
prominent place in the discussion, as
will the ritual.
1t is probable that 4 form of ritual
will be adopted which will be regard
ed as the official of the church. but
the use of which viii be left entirely to
the members Of the congregation.

LITTLE MAN, MUCH MONEY.
Doctor Patient in Alcoholic Ward Had
$4,000 in Check and Cash.

New York. May ia small man
wearing Panama hat and clinging
tightly to 4 hand satchel, walked rath-
er unsteadily into the reception room Al
Bellevue Hospital, and was sent by Dr.
Brooks to the alcohol ward Replying
readily TO questions. the little man said
he was DR.. John Page, thirty eight
years old, of 7S7 Broadway, South Bos-
ton, Mass.
He exhibited the greatest solicitude
for the safety of the small satchel that
he carried. and would not let it out Of
his possession until he was taken to
the bathroom. The grip, he said, con-
tanned all his valuables, including 5000
in cash. 1t finally was placed in
charge of the property clerk.
A moment later one of the attendants
ran back to DR.. Coryell. holding up a
linen belt. to which was attached
pouch. In this were found four checks
for $1,000 each, one for $4,000, and $500
in cash. The $4,000 check was made
payable to Dr.. Page, being drawn on
the National Bank of Savannah, Sa-
vannah, Ga, and signed by S. l.. Clay,

city in his condition and retained pos
session of his valuables.

STRIKING FREIGHT HANDLERS
Insist That Man Not Liked by Them
Must Be DISCHARGED.

New York, MAY 19.-Three hundred

Providence Steamship Line docks in
the places Of the 400 freight handlers
who went on strike, yesterday A large
detail of policemen who had been sent
TO the dock to prevent possible trouble
had nothing TO do, as the strikers made
no effort to interfere with the Italians.
One OF the freight handlers explained
the position OF the strikers by saying:
There is no hurry. We are sure to
win. These new men DO not know their
business and if we leave them alone
they will soon tie things up on the
dock iii 4 way that will take an ex-
pert and plenty of time to unite
The strikers were encouraged, today,
by news that all of the freight clerks,
three dock foremen. watchmen and
other employers to the number of Is
had gone out on sympathetic strike.
This SO competly upSets the handling
of the freight that the lines at once
issued an order refusing to receive
freight on this line.
1t was said at strike headquarters,
today, that all questions i'll dispute
have been settled at a conference be-
tween the men and officials of the line
except that the men demand the re-
signaton of one of the men who have
been in the employee of the Fail River
Line for seven years.

Efforts to remove it from her stom-

weeks she has complained OF pains
in the side and shoulder. Finally the
object moved down through her arm
and caused the hand to swell. The doc

Played by Sailors on Newport,
R. l., Newspaper Men.
Claimed to Be Survivors of Schooner
Wrecked in Collision
But Story Falls Flat After Their Lie
Is Exposed.

Newport, r. l., May 19.-The report
made, this morning, by six men. ap-
1arently sailors. that their vessel,
which they claimed was the schooner
George Parker of Boston, had been
sunk off Port Judith by collision with
the New London schooner William
Churchill. received considerable cred
once for some hours, today. until il
Was discovered that the fishing schoon-
er George Parker of Gloucester. was
safe in the harbor. and word was also
received from New York that the
Churchill had sailed from that port for
Georgetown, N. c.
The men appeared at a local news
paper office. early this morning, and
one of them, who said he was George
w. Parker, the captain of the vessel,
told the story of the wreck, stating
that he had no money to pay for Il
telegram to the owners at Boston. He
said that his vessel was run down
during a dense fog at an early hour,
this morning, and that his men escap-
ed in their small boat. After telling
his story Captain Parker" and his
men disappeared. although careful
search was made for them among the
vessels anchored in the harbor.
The men who accompanied Captain
Parker gave every evidence of being
seanen, SO that their story was readily
believed.
1t is possible that they may have
come from the schooner Rodney Park
er, which sailed from Bangor for
Bucks IIarbor, Me, and New York,
