Like many another man, he often
planned his life as it would have been
could he have lived again by his e.
p%erience of it.
He knew he would have suffered a
hundred deaths before giving up his
personality to another, as men do
when they allow themselves to be
hypnotized. He hoped that, brought
face to face with such conditions as
prevailed that awful night of storm
in Won Tarsenheim's laboratory, he
would have seer that his duty, per-
haps his redemption, lay in giving up
his life to redeeming the nan who
had injured him, instead of yielding
to the pressure of hate and fear which
had unbalanced his mind for the mo-
ment. But he was only a human be-
ing not eve a popular actor, with
a reputation for high-souled denoue-
ments to sustain so he had been
forced to go forward, along with his
cropping fellow men.
He came to believe, and the books
and poems which brought him fame
and wealth, magnetized as they were
by his strange experiences, echoed
with the belief that the ultimate pow
er which has decreed we shall walk
in the dark will not blame us for
stumbling: and that though we may
not like the automatic record we have
kept, when we meet it face to face, we
shall have our opportunity to efface
the stains; or, falling, be granted mer-
ciful effacement.
Perhaps he came to believe this
more and more as the marks with
which another mans sin had marked
him wore away, leaving him only a
little grayer, leaving the lines of con.
centration more strongly marked than
his years justified, and yet endowing
him with a fascination of mystery
that caused strangers to give him at.
tention as he passed. which his good
looks alone could not have attracted,
His imagination, stimulated by his
contact with the great forces which
Won Tarsenheim played with, had
given him a glimpse Of a Deity free
from the little human personal preju.
dices with which men and their
churches have barnacled what they
worship.
His writing rang with the question
Had God made man in His own
image, or had man made God in his
image, creating himself too large, his
God too small?"
He saw that men had taken as their
written religion the code which was

show that a great purpose moved
through his tragic. terrible life, and
that it was worth recording in these

Different Views Taken of Pro-
posed Law to Take
Away Fees.
GOVERNOR HAS ADVANTAGE
BY APPOINTING MEN TO HIVES.
TIGATE BOOKS OF OFFICERS
HE COULD CREATE A POWER
Full "MAcHlNE'.'

Local attorneys are divided in their
opinion of the proposed bill to be pre-
scented to the next legislature in the
effort to have public office holders
placed on straight salary. 1t is a
proposition in the way of reform and
is being advocated by certain factions
throughout the state to bring about
reform in office. 1t is claimed such
a proposition would do away with the
necessity of paying fees to officehold-
ers and thus giving rise to source of
probable graft. Some of those per-
sons, who oppose themeasure do so on
the ground it places too much power
in the hands of the governor.
1t is pointed out that with the power
to appoint the men 70 investigate the
books Of the officers In the hands of
the governor, he could create a pow
erful machine" for future political
work. Some local attorneys believe
that If the measure now being advo-
Gated, were to provide for the election
of the inspectors, instead Of permitting
their appointment by the governor,
many of these Objectionable charac-
teristics might be avoided.
The application OF the proposed
measure would not have the same ef-
feet in all counties. In Marion and
some Of the other counties in which
are located the larger cities, where
in crime is frequent, the prosecuting
attorneys depend mostly on their fees
for their endorsement. In Marion
county the fees amount to far more
than the salary. To put Marion
county's prosecutor on a salary basis
and at the same time make the law
just to the prosecutors in counties like
Wayne or others, where the fees
amount to less than one tenth what
they do in Marion county. would be
a difficult proposition. To do away
with the fees paid the prosecutor of
Wayne county, the salary for the office
would have to be raised or competent
attorneys would not care for it. Pros
ecuting attorneys are paid by the
state. To require bonds of county
commissioners is favored generally.
