Chicago has passed a very rigid Or
dinance regulating the construction
and management of theaters and all
places of amumsements in that, city,
and several of the theaters will: have
to close up on. account of not being
able to comply with the new order of
things which will in the future safe
guard human life. In the face of the
terrible calamity that befell many hum
dreds Of innocent people at the Iro-
quois theater there are some people in
Chicago who are complaining about
the unreasonableness of the Chicago
city council. Such citizens are not
deserving of an abiding place in any
civilized community.

AS result of the investigation of
the coroner's jury into the causes that
led to the Iroquois theater fire and the
inability of the people to get out of
that miserable fire-trap, Mayor Har-
rison and seven other officials of the
city of Chicago and employees at the
theater have been placed under arrest
and will be held like any other crimi-
ais to the grand jury. Mayor ,Harri-
son has been placed under S., 900
bonds and the other accused persons
under good and sufficient bonds. It is
not to be presumed that any of the
men arrested will try to flee from JUS
tice, but charged with the crime thev
have been charged with there could be
no nominal bonds. The testimony
proved the most fragrant violation of
city ordinances, criminal ignorance
and criminal negligence. The lessons
from this fire are going to be lasting
ones. When men accept positions of
trust and responsibility and when they
take the oath of Office they are assum-
ing duties that involve life and the
public welfare. They can ignore the
laws and the ordinances part of the
time but not all of the time. The pri-
vate citizen has an opportunity some
times when sitting on coroner's or
grand jury to reprove and punish pub
lie officials both for acts of omission
and commission. The citizen is the
state and not, as many think, the pub
lie official. This is what Carter Harri-
son and few others in the city OF
Chicago will find out before the people
get through with them. There are les
sons here that can we'll be taken home

Antitoxin manufacturers who have

public will severely condemn any, such
robbery. One of the three houses, in

the other two get equally as big a

the money expended by the govern
ment and shall also pass on all appli-
cations for the construction of roads
in any state or civil division. It is
not necessary for a state to accept the
provisions of the law and apply for
aid, though it is to be presumed that
every state would, but should state
be SO neglectful of it's duty in the mat

for what they want and then be pre-
pared to explain satisfactorily what
advantage will accrue to the public if
they are given their desires. They

by the State of Minnesota and granted
the motion for an Injunction.

He has taken strong ground against
various corporate interests upon the
subject of taxation. He has been
stickler for the application of strict
rules in favor of the State as to sew
eral railroad land grants. He has
been watchful over the States inter-
ests as to the swamp land grant. He
insisted upon my appointment to the
late Tax Commission in the face of
strong corporate interests, railroad
and otherwise, which opposed it.
When I learned of the strength of the
influences which were then opposing
me, and with a view of relieving the
members of the board of the embar-
rassment which consideration of NV
candidacy might occasion, wrote Mr..
Dunn requesting him to inform the
board that I withdrew my name from

Amid all the tumultuous outpourings
and loud professions of politicians
more or less disinterested, over the
merits of the attempted merging of the
railroads known as the Northern Pa
cific, Great Northern and Burlington
systems, but very few persons recall
the quiet but decisive action taken in
1895 by the Hon. H. w. Childs, then
attorney general for the State of Min
nesota, by which he prevented pro-
posed consolidation of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific Rail-
way companies.
Without clamor of trumpets, without
theatrical display or triumphant
progress in state, without seeking or
soliciting the aid or counsel of the
authorities of other states or of the
United States, Mr.. Childs, as the chief
legal advisor of the State, invoked
the laws of Minnesota and entirely on
his own initiative, instituted proceed
ings in the district court of Ramsey
county, and effectually prevented the
proposed railroad consolidation:
His actions in this important matter
were. refreshingly cool, conservative
and businesslike. q; He. made no I'm
seemly claim ofi=superior patriotism,
but performed his full duty as sworn
officer of the State, assailing no
mans character or impugning the in
tegrity of anyone, and found his credit
and satisfaction in the transformations
and faithful performance of that duty.
His work was done thoroughly and
he did it single handed and unaided
without involving the State in any ex-
ira expense for assistant counsel or
other luxuries.
It may be claimed that in the suit
against the railroads now pending,
that owing to the array of legal lumi-
naries opposing the State, that it was
necessary to expend large sums of
money, as has been done, in retaining
extra and expert counsel to assist the
present attorney-general, but without
detracting from the brilliancy and rep
utation for ability of the counsel for
the railroad companies in the present
suit, it might be stated that the counsel
for the railroads in 1895 included the
Hon. G. K. Davis, M. D. Grover, E.
P. Sanborn and G. A. Severance, a
quartette whose legal skill and learn
ing could not be excelled, and without
assistance or the extra expenditure
of one dollar, Mr.. Childs won the case
for the State
1t is characteristic of the modesty
OF the man that when a reporter for
the U n O n sought to interview Mr..
Childs and secure from him a state
ment setting forth the history of the
case which he conducted in 1895, and
the causes which led him to commence
the proceedings, that he manifested a
strong disinclination to discuss the
matter, but fnally'was induced to refer
to it in brief historical way and to
answer several questions bearing
upon it. II.
"What led you to commence the ac-
tion?" was asked.
''The first information I received
regarding the proposed consolidation
of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific Railway companies replied
Mr.. Childs; twas early in 1895 when
Mr.. Harry Horn called upon me and
stated that he had filed bill in equity
in the United States circuit court, on
