interest in self-made men. George
A. Cooke, the democratic candidate
for judge of the supreme court. is a
self-made man in the best and fullest
sense of The term.
Hon. George A. Cooke, the dcpo
cratic candidate for judge of the
supreme court, is, and always has
been, an interchangeable worker. And
this is the kind of men needed on the
supreme bench of this state.
The laws of Illinois require all inn
portant appointive boards of the
state to be bipartisan. There are
more reasons why the supreme court
of the state should be bipartisan.
The Macomb convention, Compris-
ing 100 delegates, and representing
900 republican voters, refused to
nominate Mcclure; and still Mr.. Me-
Clure was anxious to accept, and did
accept, the nomination from the COM
mittee of 10, seven of whom controll
ed the action of the committee, and
those seven represented but one
fourth of the republican voters of this
judicial district
Mcclure voted against Roosevelt
in 1904 and characterized the popu-
lar republican presidential candidate
as fourfiusher and grandstand
player" Mr.. Mcclure now asks
Roosevelt republicans to vote for
him for judge of the supreme court.
Anything that lends to preserve
the dignity and enhance popular re-
spect for the supreme court of ILL
nois is good thing. The election of
George A. Cooke as judge of the SUI
| preme court would do those very
things.
Mr.. Cooks nomination was pre-
ceded by thoughtful reflection all
over the district and the convention
was deliberate, dignified and har-
monious. Mr. Mcclure was nominal
ed as second choice, by commit
tee of Is, who could not. at the out
side figures, have represented over
one-fourth of the republican voters
of the district.
| The prospects for the election ot
George A. Cooke grow brighter ever,
| day.
Mr.. McClure's evident fear of tn,
bipartisan policy is We'll founded
That policy is popular with republi
cans and democrats alike.
The republican party. as party
would have nothing to gain by tn,
election of Mcclure On the contrar.
the republican party, as a party
would lose prestige. by taking an un
fair advantage in matter wier,
fairness is called for in the interes
of the people of the whole state.
| Candidate Mcclure says that h
does not ask republicans to vote 70
him as republicans This express re
lease makes it easy for republicans t,
vote for Cooke without abdicatln,
any of their party feeling.
One judge ma" be non-partisal
and be accepted by the people a
non-partisan. The supreme court
consisting of seven judges. must b
bipartisan. in order that 'he peo
pie may feel sure that they are non
partisan.
What ground can the Quincy Whi
give TO its party for continuing t
support a candidate for judge of tn
supreme court whose nomination wa
"unrepresentative of the republican
of the district?''

Mrs. Marsden was away. the coot-

first time In her pampered life was
obliged 10 get supper. And Ned was
coming that very evening to have Il
talk with her father about Something.
In due time the meal was ready, all
but the tea. She packed the filled plat
ter and dishes away into the warming

petite Neither did the boys. Ned just
| looked at her and well. people in love
are not expected to care much about
what they eat.
| And then came the solemn moment
when father called her into the library,
| where he and Ned had been closeted
| for the last half hour.
| Father drew her into his arms, look

THE SENATE CONSIDERS the
TAX ON CORPORATIONS

Washington, June 24.-The Repub-
lican members of the senate finance
committee began final consideration
of the proposed corporation tax amend
ment to the tariff bill this morning.
For several hours they were in ses-
sion with Sena1br Root over the var
ious features of the bill as drawn by
Root and Wickersham 1t is believed
the amendment will be accepted as
prepared but some members have sug
gested slight changes with view to
making the amendment as impervious
to attacks as possible. The fact has
become known that not only will
some of the strongest corporations ov-
er the country antagonize the bill but
after its passage will attempt to over
throw it. 1t is believed the amendment
will reach the senate tomorrow.
Senator Beveridge today continued
his efforts for an amendment to cor
rect the size of tobacco packages. He
declared that though the Spanish-A-
nerican war tax was repealed the
manufacturers continue selling the de-
creased size for as great cost with
the result that many millions are be-
ing taken from the people wrongfully.
He said the amendment will bring
$21 100000 into the treasury and give
the people the size of package they
pay for.
House Passes Census Bill.

A DECLINE IN THE ExPoRTA-
TlON OF BREADSTUFFS

Washington, June 24-The May
trade statement of the Bureau of Sta
-tistfcs shows a marked increase in the
importations of manufacturers mater
ials and a decline in the expectation
of foodstuffs as compared with the
same month of last year. "It will be
observed" says the Bureau, "that in
nearly all articles for use in manu-
featuring. including raw silks, hides
and stains. india rubber, wool, copper,
lumber, and chemical the imports of
the month and the year are in excess
of those of the corresponding periods
OF last year. and that in many iGnpor-
tatiens of manufactured articles, the
figures of the year exceed those of
last year. but in the foodstuffs the ex-
ports Of 1909, in most cases, are of less
value than those of 19O8.''

FRESH THEORIES REGARD
ING THE ELSIE SIGEL CT


New York, June PA fresh crop
of theories as to the murder of Miss
Elsie Sigel, whose body was found in
a trunk in the room of Leon Ling in
the Chinese quarter, was brought out
today. One of these brings in the
name of Chu Gain, who is believed 10
have been a rival for the affections
of Miss Sigel 1t shows that Gain re-
ceived threats from Leon that unless
he ceased his attentions to the girl
that both he and the girl would be
killed. Gain also received an oral
warning from his brother, said to
have emanated from Leon, to the eff
feet that death would follow further
attention to the girl. The exact cause
of the girls death is also in the dark
because the body is so far decompos-
ed that an examination is impossible.
That Miss Sigei was the innocent
victim of Chinese ruff1ans is the lat
est theory of the police. It is now be
heved that THE girl, who was friend
ly to the Chinese, in her missionary
work was enticed to Icons room and
murdered because she would not sub-
NIT to Leon's entreaties. A further
bueOTy Is tudl Leon uTuSS0u lue girl
before killing her, which theory is
bourne out by the handkerchief story
of Chung Sin, who saw Leon kill the
girl. The threatening letters received
by Chu Gain were turned over to the
district attorneys office this morning.
Aside from the fact that they contain
threats, their con ..e.Iits were not made
public. The suggestion that Leon may
have gone to Cuba was advanced by a
white woman in Chinatown, who said
she had heard Cinnamon express the
belief that Leon is in Cuba.
The Chinese Empire Reform Asso-
citation has sent a letter to it's 10
branches throughout the country ask
ing them to aid in capturing Leon
Ling, wanted for the murder of Miss
Sigel. At a meeting of the Christian
Chinese tonight an attempt will be
made to raise funds for the capture of
Leon and express their indi ignation.
