JUDS0N AND DECADENCE
Recent Speech Only 'Reminis
cent of Il. He Saws.

Chicago, May E-Dr. Harry Pratt Jud-
son. president Of tbs University Of Chi
cego. says he does not consider the present
age dsoadent, although newspaper reports
CT z recent address before the Northern
Baptist Association attribute this view TO
him. Today he issued z statement 10 set
himself right What he really did say, &C.
cording 10 The statement, was this:
'Ir my judgment there never was g, tine
when society so greatly needed the impulse
Of z moral motive as to-day. The whole
condition OF modern life is alarming. II re-
minds one OF the character OF Roman soct-
ETY. during its decadence and before the dis
solution OF the empire al the hands Of the
barbartans; OF the character Of French soci-
ETY. preceding the French Revolution
In his address DR.. Judson recognized four
SOURCES Of evil active in the world OF TO-
day. the first being war. OF the Others he
mentioned:
Another source Of endless evil is eishon-
esty. permeating public and private life
alike. tainting the administration Of Jus
tioe, tatnting our legislative halls, tainttng
the conduct OF private business, polluung
the conduct of public business, polluting at
times even the church itself
Another vital source OF Infinite evil IS
drunkenness. and by This I mean not alone
intemperance in the use Of intoxicating
LIQUORS.
"A fourth source Of infinite evil in every
modern society is inapUrity OF word and act
So CO. rupting in It's influence As TO rot away
the very foundations OF life itself. Il is in
sidious, at times unknown, working in the
dark. almost impossible 10 find and grapple
with successfully
This Indictment, according TO Dr.. Jud-
sons statement to-day, while reminiscent
Of decadence. does not constitute the de-
cadence Of Rome and France at the periods
before referred to.

The Commission Plan

! Springfield Is one of the Illinois cit
/ les which is agitating the commission
form of government The chamber of
commerce of that city wrote to mayors,
merchants, laboring men, and others
in many cities which have the COM
mission plan in other states, and re-
quested information, as to whether
the new plan of government had been
successful, and if so, why.
The replies are unanimous in favor
of the commission plan. Here are a
few brief excerpts from them:
J. J. Elder, mayor of Keokuk. Iowa
Gives opportunity to apply business
methods TO city government; more di-
rect representation; eliminates party
politics from city affairs.
Edwin w. Maulton, mayor; Fred n.
West. workingman, of Haverhill
Mass-More business-like; less poll
tics; success.
o. II. Stewart, mayor; r. NJ. Flynn,
merchant, Parsons, Kansas-Prompt
attention to business; closer supervi-
ion; reduced tax levy
J. T. Malley. mayor: S. Greenough,
merchant; Albert Anderson, working
man of Pierre, South Dakota-People
feel that commission form gives bet
ter satisfaction: personal responsible
ity for each man.
f. H. Crump, mayor of Memphis,
Centralizes responsibility and
makes business-like government pos
sible.
w D. Davis, mayor; A. Wheeler,
merchant; Dee Estes, workingman, FIT.
Worth, Texas-More paved streets;
improved Aaterworks; sewer system
doubled; s1eb,ooo in storm sewers put

Standard Oil Trust Fined 500. ooo.

standard OH trust hlned $50, 00O.
The Standard Oil trust was tried in
the New York state courts for receiv-
ling concessions in the transportation
/ of petroleum and was fined $4,000.
/ The trust brought the matter before
| the United States supreme court,
which, however. refused TO review the
case. The fine therefore stands, IN
less the octopus has lawyers astute
and cunning enough TO discover some
flaw in the testimony and to get the
case reviewed by the state supreme
court. But probably no such effort will
be made, for to the Standard Oil COM
pany what is $4,000?
1t is only when the amounts invoIv-
ed are considerable that this leviathan
corporation puts forth its efforts to
escape the fine. When Judge Lands
imposed a fine Of over 500. 600. 900 up
on the oil trust, John D. Rockefeller
smiled sardonically and declared that
Judge Lands would be long time
dead before that fine was paid. And
Rockefeller was right Appeal was
taken and in few months the decision
of Judge Lands was reversed and the
sentence nulifed. There was some
money worth while thinking of invol-
we'd in that case and the oil trust at
torneys. alert, resourcefuI and deter

the concern which they represented
was out of the tolls of the law

victed of violation of the Sherman law.

the court decreed that il should be dis
solved That was a long time ago.
The company didn't dissolve but II APP
pealed 70 the supreme court of the
United States before which it has been
many months, with what result re-
mains to be seen.
Meanwhile the predatory interests in
the country are busy, spreading re
ports that upon the decision OF the
highest tribunal in the land in regard
10 the oil trust and the tobacco trust,
in the cases now pending before that
body, depends the value of securities
and the normal conditions of business.
This IS one of the ways Of effeCting
public sentiment and seeking to in.
fuence legislative and judicial bodies,
Ours is a great and smart nation, the
greatest and smartest in the world.
But if il could only show some of its
greatness and smartness in securing
justice alike to rich and poor in the
administration of laws, it might lay
better claim TO its prominence.

Streaks Of Ill LUCK.

Few of us are willing to admit
that we are superstitious, as the term
is usually applied, but the proportion
of mankind which is not firmly con
WINGED that i'll luck runs in ''streaks'
is equally small. In every line OF
endeavor the belief prevails that one
disaster Us sure to bring train OF
misfortune with it, If there is a
death in the community the average
person fully expects TO hear Of one
or two others being summoned from
the same neighborhood. On great
railroad systems officials, upon hear
ing news of a wreck on their line,
Immediately prepare themselves to
receive word of further trouble. In
newspaper Offices when things start
to go wrong they simply keep on till
fate DEGREES a change for the better.
Everybody feels the influence of the
spell while it is on, but precautions
generally only serve to make the mis-
fortune the more serious when it
comes. Remember this when you see
a bunch of typographical errors or
other undecipherable conglomera-
ton 1t may be the very
thing that has been guarded
most against There is an old adage
in newspaper Offices that the only
way to stop a run of bad luck is to
drop a form from the top floor into
the basement and "pi' it.
Just now the Tri-City Railway
