she is as good as elected. But the
Fairbanks faction is strongly OPP
posed to her and are talking of

Unless all signs fail, the usual
hot fight for the offices will develop

ROME, March 26.-The warfare
that has existed between the gay
set in Roman court society andgthe
American ambassador. Mr.. Henry
White, which resulted in the trans
fer of Ambassador White to Paris,
has ended in desperate attempt
by the Countess Nicoletta Grazioli

bring Mr. Whites official term at
Rome to an end in blaze of
signominy.
They would have succeeded but
for the prompt action on the part
of King Victor Emmanuel.
Both the countess and the mar
chioness are related to officials of
King Victor's court. and they move
in the highest society at Rome.
When Mr.. White came to Rome,
however, he heard certain stories
and cut them off the embassy in
vitation lists. OF course they were
furious and vowed vengeance.
Their opportunity came when
Mr.. White gave his farewell ball.

IMAGINATION.

LHIUgI71OIION.
IT is doubtful whether one is blessed or just the
because of being the possessor of vivid i'm
aginaton. Still it is admitted that he who is devoid
of imagination lacks all the qualities essential of the
average business man. Take the man who has no.
Imagination, and what does he amount to? Can one
honestly say that he is the symbol of honesty and
progressiveness, culture and refinement science and
literature? Hardly. for what does your unimaginat-
i've contribute to literature, SCIENCE art music
or the dramap What could such a galaxy of COM
posers like Handel Verdi, Beethoven, Strauss, and
Wagner have contributed to the world if they had
lacked an imagination? If Jules Verne, Robert
Louis Stevenson, A. Conan Doyle, Charles Dickens,
Alexander Dumas, and host of other weknown
writer's had lacked imagination the romantic
school of literature would never have existed.
Those who do not possess more or less magma
ton are few in number Even the most wretched
outcast has vivid picture of wealth and plenty
stored in the recesses of his brain. At will he can
bring it before his minds eye and look, goomly,
upon the better side of life. imagination is only
dangerous when permitted to fonde strange pastmes
and is allowed unrestrained liberty. Then it be-
comes q menace. However, because of this we would
not like to see any lessening of mans imagination
rather would we be in favor of seeing it enlarged
and more systematically cultivated.

The Professional Crook.

LNG Il TO/ 6SSLO/GCLG OTOON.
ACCORDING to the trend of modern sociology it
will not be long before the professional crook will
be almost eliminated from the chessboard of Grimm
ology. Each year marks q narrowing of the limits
in which he dare operate with comparative safety
to consequences. This narrowing process some
states is due to the habtual criminal enactment; in
others it is the indeterminate sentence law which, in
effect is practically the the former, for it
has the same object in view. Both laws aim to cir
cumvent those persons who make it business of
living at the expense of the frugal and Industrious
This movement against the professional crook
has been under way for some years. Not only is
tive measures being put into force in this country
but abroad the authorities equally energetic in
suppressing this class of offenders In England the
habtual criminal is receiving close attention. but the
problem still awaits solution. In Ireland, while the
first offender is released on license the who has
a bad record receives consideration. In New
South Wales, Australia, they have what is known as
a criminal blacklist When man is convicted three
times for similar oense, he is declared habitual
criminal. When he has served the fixed time pre-
scribed by the court, he is placed on an indeterm
nate sentence. However, if he shows evidence of
reformation, he is released on parole. New Zealand
also is preparing an habitual criminal law The bill
under consideration provides that sentenced
should be allowed to earn sufficient to support
his wife and family.
The foregoing is simply brief summary of the
movement directed against the professional crook.
It indicates that his is being brought to
abrupt close He realizes that his opportunities
dwindling. It will be foolhardy individual who
dares to play losing game against the many meas
ures now being enforced for lessening his activities

RzISSiU'S Third DOzl7,aU.

RUssIAs new douma is now in session, this be-
ing the third attempt to organize government of
the people. The present parliament ought to prove
very docile one considering the disciplinary
ures used its predecessors Still it probemaca
whether the douma will tamely submit and carry
out the cars program, whether it will insist
like it's predecessors on enacting laws according to
the Individual whims of the members.
There is no question but what the rank and file
of the present body of lawmakers completely un-
der the domination of the bureaucracy. This was
not the with the two former organizations Then
each legislator imagined that he personally Sc
ected the savior of his country that it up to
him to establish Utopan form of government that
would Withstand the shock of passing centuries
The result of this mistaken idea was conglomer-
alton of bills that caused the ceiling to become
weary and drop to the floor. What the present douma
needs is several capable leaders who possess the gen.
ius to inspire confidence in the cars following
and to impant hope in the hearts of the masses
Such would have a tendency to supplant the
cruel cossack on the one hand and the revengeful
bomb thrower the other. In fact, they might
succeed in ushering in mutual admiration society
