And starless grows the weary track.
Hope on! for some day skies of blue

Hope on, and build your castles strong

The sun will soon come drifting through,
And blue skies light the way for you!

LAST April the Chicago Repub-
licans elected their city ticket. The
"business interests were on their
side-the street railway franchise
grabbers and the public looting
class generally. So Mayor Dunno
was defeated and Busse succeeded
him. One of the new mayors early
official acts was to remove, without
warrant Of law, five school trustees
unfIiendly to some of the aforesaid
Interests" replacing them with
others deemed more subservlent.
The displaced trustees objected,
asserting their legal right to serve
to the end of their appointed term
To prevent the attendance of these
trustees Mayor Busse filed the
School Board rooms with police
men. In proceedings before Judge
Windes for an injunction against
the Mayor the Injunction was de-
MED on the ground that the trust
ees had their remedy through quo
warranto proceedings. But upon
their application to the States At
torney to institute these proceed
ings, that official refused. A sim
liar application to the Attorney
General was also refused. The
trustees then applied for a writ Of
mandamus to compel the States
Attorney to perform his duty. In
the lower court Judge ChytrauS
decided adversely to the trustees.
and they appealed to the Supreme
Court of the State, which reversed
the lower court and sustained the
appellants completely, pronounc'
ing that Mayor Busse violated thu
law in removing them, and tina
States Attorney Healy violated
his official duty in refusing to in
stitute quo warranto proceedings
All this excepting the conclusion
has a familiar ring to those of u
