MAYOR dunno OF CHICAGO.

Mayor Dunno of Chicago is not living
a happy life. He is one who has
undertaken a contract whose immensi-
ty appears to have paralyzed his facul-
ties. The NATURALIZATION of the
street railways of Chicago, the circum-
stances surrounding the various grants,
the total inability of the city to finance
the deal, could one be made, and the
deep-seated distrust of the council as
a business organization have created
an impasse which appals the mayor
from whatever angle he looks at it.
Yet it is not Mayor DUNES fault
that the problem is large. He did not
create the situation His chief fault
is that, as a candidate for mayor, he
underestimate it's gravity and made
light hearted promises which he is now
compelled to admit were deceitful. His
defense probably is that he deceived
himself also, for it is believable that
Mayor Dunno saw himself riding

JUSTIFIED BY FAITH.

In the Bibliotheca Sacra, a dignifled
religious quarterly, Professor Frederic
G. Wright, professor of the harmony
of science and religion in Oberlin COL
lege, contributes a defense Of Mr..
Rockefeller. He argues that Mr..
Rockefeller was entitled to freight re-
bates and other forms of discrimina-
ton because ''by furnishing a large
amount of freight regularly the cost
of transportation was greatly reduced"
and the monopoly is defended on the
ground that it has resulted in better
oil and a very narrow margin of profit
to be paid by the consumer, Professor
Wright also "justifies" the cases in
which the Standard not only received
a lower rate on it's product from the
railroad, but received in addition the
lions share of the freight money paid
by competing railroads. AS the Bibli-
otheca Sacra is a very religious maya
zine this defense must be "justifica-
ton by faith as it certainly is not
justification by logic or common sense.

pany whose money he is accused of

The object of the indictment is to COM

that it was used to corrupt the council
of Milwaukee in the voting Of a gar
bage contract. The La Toilette faction
would rather that Pfster were obliged

NEWSPAPER DETECTIVES.

Apropos of the Adolph Beck case, a
Scotland Yard detective has been tell
ing how and why mistakes are made
by police officers. Those who would
condemn hastily ne says, should re-
member how eagerly expectant the
public always is for revelations of
dramatic arrests" To be sure, and
also how eagerly expectant" the de-
tective is for the dramatic announce
ment of mis- coup in the sensational
newspapers. "A brilliant capture; In
spector Smith lands his man; gang
of desperate anarchists run to earth"
and so forth ad nauseam. Sometimes
it turns out, as 1t did in the Beck case,
that the police arrest a perfectly inno-
cent man, completely identify him as
a criminal, convict and send MIN to
limbo.
English justice is so immaculate that
some American newspapers advocate
the cutting off of appeals, SO as to
model our criminal practice on that of
the old country. The Beck case would
have been appealed in America and the
supposed criminal would have been aj-
mitted to bail. Free he would soon
have been able to establish his own
identity, but in England he had to lie
in prison until his case, by a tortuous
process, at length reached the nome
office and was remanded.
The Beck case primarily illustrates
the terrors of living under a regime of
courts are quite capable of being
totally fooled by manufactured evil
dence.
Happily, Beck cases are few and far
between. Most prosecuting officers
contend that the conviction of innocent
men exists only in novels. In, real life,
they say, innocent men are invariably
protected, while many guilty men es-
cape. The truth lies between these
two statements. Some innocent men
are convicted and their conviction is
usually due to the appetite FOR
notorety in the detective.
The possibility of fame and substan-
tial reward excited in the inspector by
the publication of his exploits develop
in some men a mania for notice which
quite defeats the purpose Of making
him detective. There is an incongru-
ity in setting a man to watch the
criminal classes and then advertising
him all over the world in such a way
as to make the criminal classes ac-
quainted with his features, his history
and his associations. The heads of
police departments in America seem
never to have taken the slightest
notice of the injury done to the police
service by this anomalous condition.
Yet it is obvious that even a slight
encouragement Of publicity about the
inspectors would not only aid the
police departments of the country to
catch real criminals, but would protect
innocent men from the Vaccinations
of mere newspaper detectives.

LA TOILETTE ON GRAND JURIES

Governor La Toilette of Wisconsin
believes in the grand jury. He attrib-
utes the uncovering of corruption in
Milwaukee to the fearlessness of. the
grand jury led by an able and incor-
ruptible prosecutor. He certainly
seems to have reason to praise the
grand jury in Milwaukee. 1t has
reached a man whom La Toilette has
long wanted to reach, but whom he
could never bring down by speech or
by combination against him. The
grand jury has brought an indictment
against Charles Pfister, the stalwart
boss of Milwaukee who has fought the
La Toilette reform regime vigorously
for years, and who, with his wealth and
control of men, has proved stumbling
block in the path of the governor.
When La Toilette was the first time
Il candidate for governor ne had a deal
with two other candidates that the
man showing the greatest strength on
the first ballat should have the support
of the other two and they should con-
troll the convention. This was the first
battle against the stalwarts. La
Toilette had the greatest number of
voters but an adjournment was taken
without a nomination, and in the night
one OF the other candidates in the deal
with La Toilette was reached. In the
morning the majority was the other
way, and La Toilette was defeated He
went back home to nurse his cause
and also to nurse a grudge against
Pfster, whom he believed to have been
the man VINO reached the candidate
and broke the combination. No doubt
thinking of this case, Governor La
Toilette told his audience recently that
he believed in grand juries.

SHAW TO LET GO.
Secretary of Treasury Has Given His
Resignation.


Resignation.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-From
source which is not official, the an
nouncement is made today that L. M.
Shaw, secretary of the treasury, has
placed his resignation in the hands
of President Roosevelt, preparatory to
the announcement that ne will be
candidate for the presidency on the
republican ticket in 1903. 1t is said
that Mr.. Shaw's successor has been
selected.
Recent developments give the
weight of truth to the report that Mr..
Shaw mas resigned, and the fact that
he today addressed the republicans at
the convention at Roanoke, Va, where
a boom already has been started for
him to succeed President Roosevelt,
shows that Mr.. Shaw has not taken
unkindly to the plans Of his friends
and leaders of the republican party.
That Secretary Shaw planned re-
signing from President Roosevelt's
cabinet has been whispered for some
time. 1t started when Secretary Root
was quoted as saying that there would
be several changes in the cabinet be-
fore the meeting of congress, and that
Secretary Shaw would be the first to
go. One story has it that Mr.. Roose-
welt, if he has not selected Mr.. Shaw's
successor, will appoint a man from
Iowa or from one of the western
states. Another story says Mr.. Roose-
welt will name an eastern man for the
treasury and a man from the west
for another place in the cabinet.
