The Miserable Moors.

The lives lived by the Moors are
without perhaps any exception the
most precarious and miserable that
can be Imagined. The poor man is
thrown into prison for sums he never
possessed and can never pay, the rich
to be squeezed of all he possesses,
While those only can hope to escape
who are members of families suf1-
GENTLY powerful to arouse the fears Of
the local governor should he attempt
extortion and not sufficiently powerful
to stir up the avarice of the sultan.
Even the governors of the provinces
suffer themselves as they make others
suffer, for just as they squeeze the
agriculturist and the peasant so are
they in turn squeezed by the sultan
and his viziers. and. should they fail
by constant presents to maintain a
coed opinion at the court. they can
expect only Imprisonment and often
death.-Blackwood's Magazine.

HOPKINS in the Way.

Albert ]. Hopkins stands in the way.
1t has been demonstrated that he can
not be reelected to the United States
senate. For him to prolong this dead
lock under the circumstances is an in
justice to the state of Illinois. For the
members of the state legislature who
have stood by Hopkins during the bal
loting of the last two months to let
stubbornness rather than their duty
to the state prevail, is wrong, and
they, too, stand in the way
Albert J. Hopkins cannot and should
not win. 1t is because he should no.
win that there has been no popular
demand for his reelection. During the
two months the deadlock has eontin
ned there has been absolutely no pop
ufar sentiment favorable to Hopkins
and the only sentiment found in his
favor is found in the federal ina
chine" This is a job-inspired senti
ment, and can be. taken as an argu
ment against rather than for the "Au
rora gentleman
Hopkins has gone to Washington
several times during the deadlock
asking for presidential aid. He ha.

tried to get influences at Washington
to dictate to the state of Illinois whom
this state should send to the senate.
Hopkins has been begging for support
lin Chicago. He has been trucking TO
Mayor Busse and other professional
politicians in Chicago, imploring them
to WELD their influence in the legisla-
ture and to use jobs as form of po-
litical pull to get men in the legisl2-
ture into line for head of the federal
machine" Hopkins has been confer
ring almost daily with Governor De-
|neen, seeking to have patronage end
other pressure of the state administra-
ton brought to bear upon the legisla-
iture in an effort to coerce votes. And
|all this combined pressure, city, coun-
|ty, state and national, has been, impo-
tent to elecet as United States senator
the man whom the people do not want
|elected-A. J. Hopkins.
Isn't it about time, then, that some
of these representatives of the people
in the state legislature who are stub
bornly voting for Hopkins should shift
to other candidates, several of whom
are far more desirable and capable
than Hopkins, and who would better
represent the state and the people of
the state in the federal senate?
Or are these Legislators to demon
strate conclusively that they are not
Representatives of the people but mere
political puppets manipulated by boss
es and controlled by patronage?
Illinois presents a shameful spectacle
to the nation. This block,

| is discredit TO the state and a dis
grace to those who are prolonging it.

The Blessing of a Visiting Nurse.

Down in Quincy they are agitating
the question of visiting nurse, an
advantage>which Rock Island has en-
joyed for some time and for the
blessings and benefits of which the
people here will vouch. The Herald
thus advocates the proposition in
Quincy:
THE ministrations of visiting
nurse would mean whole lot to the
afflicted and poor of Quincy. The
field is wide one. and in cities
where the idea has. been put into
practical use incalculable good has
resulted. In modest way it is pro-
posed to make an introduction in
Quincy and the project will be pre-
sented in an official form at a mass
meeting to be held at the Vermont
afternoon at 3 o'clock. All creedS,
interests and professions are invited,
and a visiting nurse association will
come into active being. At the out
set probably not more than one nurse
would be required, but as the work
becomes better understood and ap-
preciated, the field would broaden
and opportunity for service increase.
THE visiting nurse goes into the
homes where skilled and intelligent
attention is needed, but where the
purse will not permit payment there
for. She is ready to furnish first aid
in case of accident and disaster. She
gives sanitary and hygienic instruc-
ton to help combat tuberculosis and
typhoid, and she visits the schools
with the idea of correcting the physi-
cal defects. of pupils. In hundred
ways she can be of constant service
a veritable ministering angel. Any
individual can recall a dozen instanc-
es in the last year wherein visiting
nurse would have been of saving
lservice. Think what this means in
an entire community. Therefore, let
there be no further delay and let the
results of the mass meeting next Sun
day be expeditions and complete.

Can't Get at Them.

Charles G.. Little, professor of cor
poration law in the Northwestern I'M
iversity law school, Chicago, has writ
ten an interesting article for the Hi
nOis Law Review. Mr. Titles article
relates to the twenty-nine million dol
lar fine imposed upon the Standard
Oil company by Judge Lands. Mr.. Lit
tie declares that in making this fine
Judge Lands was entirely right leg
ally officially and morally In the
course of his argument, which is care
fully built up from fundamental prin-
ciples, Professor Little handles the
decision of the United States circuit
court of appeals unsparinSly. He eX-
plains his delay as due to desire %
wait until the heart of unintelligent
CONTROVERSY" had abated. He takes it
for granted that Judge Lands was,
as charged by his enemies and boasted
by his friends, actually striking at the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
which was not convicted, when he in
fiicted his fine on the convicted in
diana corporation.
The real problem in this branch Il
American jurisprudence, says Profess
sor Little. is How shall the real cor
porate culprit be punished when, in
, the net work of intercorporate rela
ton, it is often times well nigh i'm
possible not morally nor officially, but
| legally, to find that guilty person.
The professor sconclusion is as follows:
IF the New Jersey company was the
owner of the stock of the Indiana
company, then it was, in fact, though
not in name before the bar OF tbs
court for punishment. To deny I
would be only wilfully binding oul
eyes to the real situation. The gov
eminent having been content not t.
inflict it, its punishment could be in
ficted only directly through the power
of the court to punish the Indiana com
pany. The learned Judge who wro,e
the opinion of the court of appeals has
confused the idea of conviction WEI
] that of punishment"

ter treatment of dumb animals, who
died yesterday at his home in Boston,
was born in Southbridge, Mass, in
1923, and after being graduated from
Dartmouth college, studied law at the
Harvard Law school. Admitted to the
bar in 1851, he had for many years
a lucrative practice. In 1864 he
started the agitation that led to the
formation of humane societies in
Massachusetts, Illinois and number
of western and southern states. The
Illinois Humane Society was founded
by him. He established the publica-
