with science, and conform to the high est reason and judgment of man. It is here that non.resistance seems to have failed to make practical progress in the world. That men should turn the other cheek should love their enemies should resist not evil, has ever seemed fine to teach to children, to preach on Sundays, to round a period in senseless oratorical flight; but it has been taken for granted that these sentiments cannot furnish the real foun- dation for strong characters or great states. '-Clarence s. Darrow, in his book, "Resist Not Evil.'
 Clarence s. Darrow, chief counsel for Haywood, Mover and Pettibone, passed his early manhood in Chicago. His great law business was built up from there, his books were written there, and more men know him and love him in that city than in any other. He is cosmopolitan to the core, however, and likes men better than localities. "As boy, I used to think that Lincoln E face was the homeliest l had ever seen the homeliest and the kindest," said one of Darrow' s friends, while discuss ing him. "Then, twenty years ago, when I first met Darrow, I knew that I had seen at last as homely a face as Lincoln s, and one not less kindly nor less masterful. If you have heard Darrow, and read his books, and caught glimpse or two of the real man that walks around in his shape, it may be that you will not think my comparison extravagant. I think there is no man today in this country more genially loved by his fellow-men than Clarence S. Darrow. have asked good many people why everybody who came in personal contact with Darrow at once accorded him a warm place in their
 hearts, and the answers have been good as far as they went. Personal magnetism, his frank and unaffected manner, charm of personality, his quick ness to understand and his readiness to sympathize (nOne said his good looks) etc.-all very true in their way, but none getting down to the bare and sim pie cause and effect basis. Love begets love- Men love Darrow because he loves men.'
 Darrow was born in Ohio about forty nine years ago. The early years of his life were quite nneventful, and it was rot until he came to Chicago about the time of the great railroad strike which resulted in the conviction and impris- onment of Eugene Debs, that he was brought prominently before the public eye. He became intensely interested in labor matters, but he was so esteemed that he received the appointment of general attorney for the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad company. He was also appointed acting corporation counsel for Chicago. The most promi- rent figure during the investigation of affairs in the anthracite coal strike on the side of the miners, next to John Mitchell, was Darrow.
 The late Governor Altgeld became in terested in Darrow while he was yet q struggling attorney at the Chicago bar. They met one day at the Iroquois club, and after lunch lit cigars and strolled up Dearborn street.
 CT am looking for suite of of fees, remarked the governor, "but l find nothing to take my fancy"
 "Why don't you build, governori" suggested the young attorney.
 Darrow then explained how friend of his had invented what has since come to be known as the "Cbicago Steel Construction. Governor Altgeld was so impressed that he sent for the architect The result of that interview found practical expression in the cree tion of The Montauk, the first modern skyseraper.
 Governor Altgeld and Darrow later formed law partnership. The connee. tion lasted until the death of the for mer, when over the body of his beloved comrade, then lying in state at the city hall in Chicago, the young attorney de- livered valedietory address which has been justly compared to the one deliv cred by Colonel Robert Ingersoll over bis brother's grave.
 Darrow is a strict vegetarian. He carries his ideas of justice to all living and created things so far as to contend that it is equally as wrong to deprive animals as human beings of their lives. 1 '' 'Nonresistance to evil'' is another of | his slogans. He worships the ideals of l Christ, Buddha, Confucius, Plato and | Socrates. He has formulated his ideas | in book entitled ''Resist Not Evil,"l which first fell almost stillborn from the press, but with the growing repu- .ation of it's author, has latterly had ! very extensive circulation. Darrow ,as also done much literary work ip he way of essays and short stories.
 In personal appearance Darrow is far rom natty. His clothes are decidedly if the handme-down variety, his shoes Ire seldom polished, and when he looks 'or his hat on rack, he can easily pick t out, for it is the one that has not ,een brushed. He hardly ever uses iquor, although he is most sociable reature. His indulgence in tobacco is 'xtremely infrequcnt. He gives away t least a fifth of his income in charity He will take poor man s or woman s ase for nothing, but he will not work Or corporation or for the well-to-do 'nless he is paid handsomely for his ervices.
 On the platform Clarence Darrow is ui generis-an original. He speaks
