there is nothing too good for Harry,
and if the House were electing the
next prosecuting attorney for Marion
county it would be unanimous for the
popular Clerk of the House.
When it comes to Swisher it is now
plain that the Wheeling convention
not only made a good selection for
secretary of state, but it was really
a lucky choice. The genial Charley
has shown his real ability for work
in this special session. He is a mem
Der of the Finance Committee, which
has been in work over it's ears from
the first roll call till the present min

mittee night and day, and between
times he has been hustling around
among the boys instituting old time
enthusiasm and lining them up for
the contest in November. He has
the happy faculty of getting close to
people and his franlness and straight
forward manner carry conviction, and
even his enemies respect him. With

preparing for a ma jority for both
the State and National ticket.

Captain sibert's demand is more than
he ought to ask and that the COM

Judge Grosscup's Speech.

There is much food for thought in
the address delivered before the
Fourth Ward Republican club last
night by Judge Peter S. Grosscup OF
Chicago. All thoughtful persons agree
that the abuse of the corporation form
or business organization is one Of the
evils Of the day which must be
remedied by our legislators. The cor
porat1on has certain inherent in
feriorities to a partnership or an indi-
Vldual In business just as it has certain
super1orities, but the corporation is
not an evil Of itself butt sometimes,
because Of it's abuse.
AS to specific remedies, Judge Gross
cup was not vague. He would give
the department Of commerce power
over corporations to such an extent
that they would have to be as scrupul-
Gus and as careful in their operations
as the national banks. There should
be no water in capitalization, one floor
for all investors, reasonable and neces-
sary publicity, and all-around honesty.
Formerly men did things Individual
ly, now they do them in corporations.
But the small capitalist, he of the
savings banks, is afraid Of the cor
porations. Let him feel that corpora
tons are safe and honest in every re-
spect, and he will go into them. He
will directly invest his own capital
instead of turning it over to a bank
to do it for him.
The judge says the corporation
problem must be solved. It will be,
too. The time may not have come
| yet, but come it will.

A Public School Triumph.

The public schools are splendidly
indicated by some statistics gathered
at Harvard by President Eliot. They
tend to show that the public school
boy Is better prepared for college
entrance examinations than the pri-
vate school boy and better fitted for
his college work.
In the last college year fewer pub
lie school boys than private school
boys failed In their entrance examine
tions at Harvard. and more of the
former graduated with honors.
The Geographic summary Of the
statistics does not tell us What proper
ton Of Harvard students come from
other than public preparatory schools,
but probably they form the larger
portion of the student body.
These facts ought to be good read
! ing for parents who imagine that they

The fact that an ordinance to relieve the
saloonkeeper Of liability for selling liquor
to a minor was introduced by Alderman
Rand will probably not create very general
surprise. 1t will be remembered that it
was Alderman Rand who undertook to
place the power of prosecuting saloon
keepers for violating the law entirely in
the hands Of police officers and deprive the
citizen Of the privilege Of making COM
plant in court in such cases. Alderman
Rand deserves the support which he gets
from the saloon element. 1t will be very
much of a surprise, however, If he gets
any other vote in the council for this
measure than his own. 1t is inconceivable
that any other member Of the council
would be willing to go on record in support
Of such vicious proposition.
