EQUAL Law in the South.

Senator Tillman's advocacy of a
passport system for keeping track Of
the idle and vicious classes in the south
would not be SO bad If Senator Tillman
proposed an equitable law for the pun
ishment Of vagrancy. The south is
hampered to an immense extent in its
material development by the loafer.
But he is not always black. The down
at-the-heel white individual meets you
at every turn in Dixie, and if it were
proposed to put him on the rock pile
along with the no-account negro there
would be no complaint. But this is not
the purpose. It cannot be the purpose
because there is an essential difference
between the black and the white loafer.
The latter, thanks to the fact that his
grandfather was a decent citizen, has
the ballot, and as long as he has that
there will be no 5lahor on the roads for
him. -
The. south, if it persists in discrimin:
ating between white and black in the
enforcement of the laws, cannot expect
any permanent settlement of the race
question. If the south has any leaders
out of politics preferably, whose voice
can be heard, now is the time to raise
them in a! plea for ordinary Justice
When that is heard a beginning viii
have been made toward the settlement
Of the race question. =

MADGE THE MARRIOTT
Her Misadventures with Her Fathers
Magic Wand Make Fun.

Madge is little marplot whose
horrows his magic wand without his
knowledge and tries experiments in
necromancy. Being very little girl
and unlearned in incantations, she
gets tangled up in some very ludicrous
results and has to call her father in to
extricate her from these grotesque diff
ficulties. That is the basic idea Of the
new colored comics series to begin in
next Sundays Journal. They will set
the children wondering and the elders
laughing.

The Fee System in Chicago.

AS old community as is Chicago, it
seems TO have. not made any very eff
fective efforts to dislocate it's politics
from the disgraceful fee system. The
sheriff, the city clerk, the clerks of
court and various other officials still
fatten on fees and out of fees have
come recently several disheartening
revelations that the fee system, being
itself dishonest, breeds more dishon-
esty. The states attorney, who. is the
public prosecutor for Cook county, in
which Chicago is situated, has always
had his hand in the dirty fee bin un-
til recently, when an attorney with a
nicer sense of honor than his predeces-
sors, voluntarily put an end to it. Mr..
7Healy, the states attorney in question,
after having started a friendly suit to
determine the matter of the legality Of
his retaining fees and having secured a
verdict favorable to the fees, has vol

sum of $51 ,213, the amount collected

immense sum of $243,775.
The fee system has done as much as
any other one thing to debauch Ameri-
can politics. 1t has made grafters of
men who would never haye been

Bijou Opera House

"On Dangerous Ground'' is the at
traction at the Bijou next week, COM
mencing tomorrow afternoon. It is said
to be most realistic and stirring melo-
drama of San Francisco life.
Tom Westover leads a double life,
keeping questionable saloon down
town and maintaining protectorate
home for his two sisters in another
part Of the city. Trouble begins when
Lillian, the elder sister, learns the char
acter Of Tom 8 business and decides ito
leave the home and earn her own living.
Tom is also a ward politician and one
of his political associates, who is the
leader of a confidence gang, and known
as Kingpin, takes advantage of the op-
portunity to get Lillian in his power
and make her the wife of Chang Wah,
king Of San Francisco's Chinatown.
With the assistance Of his paramour,
Hester Galloway, he partially succeeds.
The play is filed with thrilling Incl
| dents and daring escapes. Strong love
interest is sustained thru misapprehen-
sions by Lillian and Harry Austin; who
are engaged to marry, and comedy is
| rife with such characters as Rosy
O'Grady, beer-loving Irish woman;
Kate Westover, who is addicted to
reading dime novels, and Freddie Fripp
whom Kate keeps busy trying to &C
complish heroic deeds.
| Most thrilling is burning-roof scene
where Kingpin and Chang Wah fight a
knife duel tied together with rope
and where Harry Austin saves the
heroine by walking rope from the top
of the burning house to another, with
Lillian on his back. >s:.,' Z

10 the Ed1Cor OF Inc journal. -.
May I use a little of your valuable
space to deny. certain. stories which have
been circulated, for political reasons. in
the Thirteenth ward?> 1T has been al
legged that certain aldermen have been

garbage collection. AS the city council
authorizes the commissioner of health
and not certain aldermen to collect
and dispose of the city's garbage, 1 am,
if any one, implicated in any wrongdo-

This story had its origin, probably,
from the well-known fact that in certain
parts of the city, remote from the crema-
tory, it was thought wisest to sell the
garbage, rather than make the long haul.
No one but the driver handles the money,
and he is required to turn it in to the
city treasurer. and, take receipt which
he turns in with his weekly report to the
health department. From that source
