Chicago. June ga conspicuous
display of the union button. It is said
is all that stands in the way of a
settlement of the transfers strike.
A subcommittee of the striking
Transfers peace committee called on
j. " Farwell, representative of the
Employers Association, and outlined

requests of the labor men was that
the teamsters should be allowed to
wear their union buttons IL they
agreed to accept the terms of settle
ment proposed by the employers.
Mr. Farwell informed the commit
tee that the employers could not
agree TO this proposal and would in
sist on the men either dispensing
with union emblems entirely or If
wearing the button at all keep it out
of sight. The subcommittee told
Mr.. Farwell that they had no au-
thority to concede this point. but
that they would lay the matter be-
fore the full committee, when de-
cision on the proposition would be
reached.

The residents OF South Tenth
street are very Indignant. They ask
ed for relief from the dust raised by
Automobiles and others on the strip
of ground that was intended to be
used as a. park when Tenth street
was improved from Jackson street
four blocks south and got nothing.
The middle is dirt, and is used as a
Speedway" The property owners
claim that when the property for the
street was dedicated to the city 1t
was with the understanding that the
center should be converted into a
park or promenade. TWAS to be
sown with grass and fenced in, but
nothing has ever been done towards
carrying out the city's part of the
contract. The graveling of the sides
OF the street was so bad that the
city refused to receive It.
The dust is now so bad, however,
that the residents claim they cant
keep their windows and doors open.
They appealed to the city and the
city, as usual has done nothing but
decide one day to do one thing, and
change its mind the next. II first de-
cided to fence the ground in, and
then 1t was Informed that If it did
this it would have to put up lights
to protect the public from the fence.
As there are no lights to spare, It
next decided to gravel the dirt por-
ton. Now It is discovered IL cannot
do this because It has no right to
put gravel on the ground. which was
dedicated for park.
Residents from that locality were
at the city hall today with blood in
their eyes, and they threaten to have
auto scorchers arrested hereafter
when they come out and exceed the
speed limit.

Where Partisanship Ends

The mover, the seconder and the three

lutions demanding an investigation of the
case Of Supreme Court Justice WARREN
B. HOOKER, which were adopted unani
mouslv by the Association OF the Bar
OF the City OF New York on Friday even
ing, were supporters Of the Republican
party The Judge whose conduct the
association condemned is a Republican.
The Legislature TO which the demand
for an investigation will be sent is con-
trolled by its Republican members. The
proceedings against WARREN B. HOOKER
are not and cannot be made to appear
the result of partisan persecution.
Except by few shortsighted poll
ticians, it is understood throughout New
York State that partisanship ceases al
the entrance TO the court room. The
men who packed the State Bar Associa-
ton in behalf OF Judge HOOKER were OF
grasp this fact. With the man in whose
behalf they labored compelled by public
opinion to appeal to the Legislature for
an investigation. with the most credit
able members of their own party de-
handing an investigation. they may be
taught that even affiliation with the
dominant faction in State politics will
not protect rascality on the bench.
craftsmanship in the Judiciary has
been declared by the voters at the polls
TO be the policy of the State The poll
tioians who refuse to recognize its prin-
ciple will find themselves abandoned
by their constituents II they persist in
their blindness. The case Of WARREN
b. HOOKER may prove 10 be valuable

public capacity and party management

rapacious institutions which 30 many

demning.
But the wise course is not found in
any scheme for the restriction OF output
1t will be found in the largest possible
production under the most intelligent
and economical conditions and in the
extension of markets 1t makes little

forts to strange the market must result

Mr.. SCoTr Of Kansas, that the Demo-
cratic party has at last found subject
upon which it can get together.
This is not sarcasm, bat truth. AS to
many or most things the Democrats
fight one another like dogs and cats.
They claw and bite about imperialism,
the tariff. the currency, the Panama
treaty, the army and navy, even sup
posed sore toe OF Gen. MILES. But they
fall into one another's arms the moment
a proposition to enlarge the activities OF
the Federal Government appears. What
ever beauties or merits this proposition
may have in itself, it is absolutely con-
trary to what have been regarded as
peculiarly Democratic doctrines during
most of the existence Of the Democratic
party.
The Democrats in the House Of Rep
resentatives greedily gulp this extreme
Federalist- Republican plan. At last
they have found something which they
all like.
In every policy in which they oppose
the Republican party the Democrats
have been ridiculously beaten, The
only policy they can agree upon owes
most OF whatever strength and authority
It possesses to a Republican President.
Is there any visible reason or excuse
for two Republican parties2 Should
a merely sentimental objection to merg-
ers keep Mr. WILLIAMS and his ueso-
oiates from taking the nume Of the
