Beloved by His Fellow Men.

Mr.. barrow is not a handsome man.
One of his friends has said: las q boy
! used to think Lincoln's face was the
homeliest l had ever seen-the home
lest and the kindest. Then twenty
years ago, when l first MET barrow, l
knew that l had seen at last as home
ly a face as Lincoin's and one not less
kindly nor less masterful. If you have
heard barrow and read his books and
caught glimpse of the real man that
walks around in his shape it may be
that you Will not think my comparison
eXtravagant. l think there is no man
in this country today more genuinely
loved by his fellowmen than Clarence
barrow. Men love barrow because he
loves men"
AS to Mr.. Darrow's personal APP
pearance another acquaintance re-
marks: He is far from natty. His
clothes are decidedly of the hand-me-
down variety, his shoes are seldom
polished. and when he looks for his hat
on rack he can easily pick it ont, for
it is the one that has not been brush

were surprised to find that he could
and rural life. The book reflected the
softer element in the barrow makeup
barrow was educated in the public
schools, read law very early and was
admitted to the bar before he reached
his nineteenth birthday. He practiced
in the rural districts for few years
and then turned up In Chicago. After
the raw young lawyer got his bearings
in the raw young city he made rapid
Roadway. 1t was discovered that he
knew law to the limit. Accordingly he
was appointed assistant corporation
counsel.
While barrow was still an unknown
Altgcld. Altgeld was a radical think
er. Il student of sociology. He took a
liking to young barrow. probably be-
cause their minds ran in the same
channel in that respect The two men
formed partnership in law practice
which lasted until Altgeld's sudden
death. 1t will be recalled that the eX-
governor was stricken on the platform
while delivering Il speech in defense
of human rights. barrow delivered al
address over the body of Governor
Altgeld which for simple eloquence and
feeling has been compared to the fl
nous speech of Robert G.. mgersoll a
the grave Of his brother.
Just what influence the ideas of Gov
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1907-07-05

Incidentally barrow may be called
the stepfather of the modern sky
scraper building. 1t is related that he
and Altgeld first met at club and
walked down the street together Gov
ernor Altgeld remarked that he was
looking for a suit of offices, but could
find none that pleased his fancy.
"Why don't you build, governor"
suggested barrow.
The young attorney then informed
the governor that a friend of his had
invented a method of constructing
buildings by putting a steel skeleton
inside. Governor Altgeld sent for the
architect who advanced this bold in
novation. He was so impressed that
he had the Montauk building con-
structed on that principle, and thus
the first modern steel skyscraper came
into being.
Clarence DaYrow won some measure
of national repute as counsel for Eu-
gene V. Debs in the great strike of the
American Railway union In the early
nineties. During the following ten
years he was an advocate on the side
of labor In many labor injunction
cases.
In 1902 and 1903 he was chief coun-
sci for the anthracite miners at Scran-
ton and Philadelphia In the coal strike

Gives Generously to Charity.

1t is said that Mr.. barrow gives
away in charity at least a fifth of his
income. He frequently handles the
case of poor person for nothing, but
it Is his invariable rule to make cor
vidual pay handsomely for his legal
services.
Somebody has remarked that clothes
| make the man. That depends Oh the
man concerned. When barrow gets
up to speak he might cut Il sorry fig
ure with deaf person. but after he
warns up to his topic nobody remem-
bers his cheap suit and his somewhat
ungainly figure. He begins deliberate
| ly and slowly, but as he gets deeper
into the argument his language flows
more rapidly until ut the peroration 1t
| Is a tumult of eloquence and convinc-
| ing logic. When barrow summed up
the case of the anthracite mine work
| erS before the strike commission he
! spoke for two court days, apparently
without fatigue, and he used no notes.
AS speaker barrow employs wit
| humor. sarcasm, invective and steel
cold logic with equal facility. AS a
sample of his sarcastic humor this
brief extract from his address to the
| jury in presenting Haywoods case may
serve. barrow was referring to the
story Orchard had told on the stand:
II don't like to take anything from
the glory of story like that. l sin
cerely regret to destroy the bloom of q
peach like that. We will show that he
was not the phenomenal murderer he
claims to have been, but we will com
pensate Somewhat by showing that he
is the most monstrous liar the world

Gentle Breed of Anarchist.

Mr.. DarrOw's book, Resist Not Evil"
was published four years ago. 1t show
ed the author to be Il disciple of Count
Tolstoi, but as a logician and cold
reaSoner, bulwarked by a mind of Sc
we're legal training, he went even far
Their than Tolstoi. Mr. barrow has
been described as socialist. He may
be one, ,hough just what socialist is
or what ideas man must possess to
be socialist is open to debate. His
book showed conclusively that he is
an anarchist. But speak 1t softly.
There are two kinds of anarchists
One of them travels around occasion
ally to kill Il king or other ruler. The
l"other kind Is n gentle, humane. tender
hearted, unselfsh, nOuresisting ideal
iSt like Leo TolStOi or the late ernest
Crosby or Clarence barrow. This kind
| of anarchist never harms kitten
much less king. This gentle breed
of anarchist dreams golden dreams.
He perceiveS the divine spark In all
| mems souls and would fan 1t If he
could into such fame that all the
| beastlinesS would be burned out, leav-
Ing only the ChrIstly goodness to reign
| and rule. But since, he cannot thus
fan the spark into purging flame he
| sits down and writes books about
what ought to be and might be If we
were different and may he when we
shall have evOluted sufficiently

not necessary for the well being of
mankind. The origin and evolution of
the political state he says, show that
it was born in aggression. as it Is
maintained purely by force-soldiers
and policemen to do the bidding of
rulers. Nor do the people govern
| themselves in democracies more than
in any other lands" says Mr. barrow
They do not even choose their rulers
These rulers choose themselves and by
force and cunning and intrigue arrive
at the same results that their print
tive ancestor reached with the aid of q
club"
Mr.. barrow holds that by no meth
cd of reasoning can 1t be shown that
the injustice of killing one man Is re
trieved by the execution of another
Thus his doctrine of nonresistance tC
evil would do away with capital pun
ishment. But not only that He avows
that by no method of reasoning can II
be shown that the forcible taking OF
property is made right by combining
some human being In a pen. This is
resistance to evil. If Billy the Burglar
steals your overcoat, thrt W in your
winter suit Turn the other cheek
Resist not evil
But when Lawyer barrow gets up in
front of jury or a judge he argues
closely along the line Of man made
law. He is living In 1907.

is a philosophical anarchist" but in
real life he is law abiding citizen.
But even should he apply his theories
to actual life he would be the direct
opposite Of the so called anarchist who
manufactures a bomb and blows up
rulers. Mr. Darrow's creed is non
resistance to evil.
1t Is written in Scriptures, RESIST
not evil, but whatsoever shall smite thee
on thy right cheek, turn to him the
other also" Mn barrow wrote book
on that text. In that book he ex-
pressed convictions and conclusions
which go far toward explaining why
he prefers to appear in the courts in
the interest of workers rather than in
the interest of corporations that en-
ploy workers. Early in his career Mr..
barrow was a corporation attorney.
He served as counsel for the North
western railway. But that was only
an incident in his more than thirty
years of practice. Most of his legal
work has been as counsel in cases
against monopolies and trusts.
Clarence barrow was born fifty
years ago in Kinsman. o. About two
years ago he astonished his friends

H. tacie of Clarence S. Darrow at
Boise, Ida. AS chief counsel for
w. d. Haywood, charged with the
murder of Ex-Governor Frank Steunen-
berg, Mr.. barrow is associated with
several lawyers of the conventional
kind. These are hard headed practical
attorneys who have no fine haired the
cries about anything in particular.
They believe and act with what may
be called the generality of men.
Darrow, on the other hand, is Il
dreamer, an idealist, a theorist, Il
weaver of Utopias. Any man of his
associate counsel would be glad TO pick
up gun and go out and shoot Il duck
or bear, just as any man of them
takes delight in devouring savory
beefsteak or n hot bird. But barrow
will not kill beast. or bird. nor will he
cat flesh killed by others. He holds
that killing Is wrong. whether the vic
tim be man or beast or bird. To be
consistent with this belief he is q
strict vegetarian.

This comet Is probably the brightest

The Daniels comet rises in the east
at 3 o'clock i'm the morning or short

advantage a little before the earliest
indications of dawn-say at 4.3o.
