he slipped and. falling forward. dash
ed his elbow through the window Of .
wine shop. The proprietor rushed ont
to claim the price Of his window. and
. large crowd gathered to zee fair
play. The man who had broken the
window protested that he had no mon
ey. Search himr shouted some one
In the crowd. There were no police
men about. so the wine shop keeper
and a few friends took the law into
their own hands. searched the mans
pockets and found 500 franc note.
The crowd advised the wine shop
keeper to pay himself well for his
broken window. He took 80 francs to
pay for his broken glass. and the un.
popular man who had broken 1t went
away with torn coat and $50 francs
change. The 500 franc note was q

Avsrtina : Defeat,

A certain political boss always con-
troIled hts delegations to the conven-
lions, and the delegates voted the way
he told them to--and not until he did
tell him.
At one convention . delegate pre-
scented a resolution that the boss IA
vored. but had not heard about soon
enough to post his delegates as to how
they should vote on It.
The chairman OF the convention put
the question. "Ail in favor Of this res
olution say aye"
There were few, ayes. and the boss
delegates looked at him inqniringly.
Seeing that he would not have time to
pass the word and wanting the resolu.
ton passed. he dashed down the aisle
toward the chairman. waving hia
hands and shouting:
Don't put the negative! Don't put
the negative. did that once and go,

Adkins VS.. Deneen.

Springfield Register: Speaker Ad.
kins of the Illinois house has bright
ened the prospects Of democratic vic
paign. His vitrioIic attack upon Gov
ernor Deneen adds to the chaos in the
republican party.
In his eagerness to advertise him
self as a candidate for governor with
the waterway as a splashing issue, the
speaker has been carried beyond all
reasonable limitations by his charac-
teristic and impolitic- enthusiasm. He
entertains fixed convictions, no doubt,
upon the waterway. His opposition to
that legislation is well known. He has
right TO his views and a right TO
boldly declare those views before the
house or wherever he chooses, but by
use of his authority as speaker in open
defiance of the house itself on this or
any other legislation, he goes farther
as legislative dictator than he or any
one else ever imagined Governor De
neen has attempted to go.
This waterway legislation should be
considered at this session, not only TO
remove the excuse for calling a special
session, but because all legislation
should be placed before the house for
consideration upon its merits
Long has the custom prevailed in
the Illinois legislature of throttling leg
islation in committee. That is an evil
which it was hoped would be elimina-
ted at this session, and forward strides
have been made, but the speakers
present position is parallel with the old
kill-it-in-committee practice. 1t is tan
tamount TO a denial Of constitutional
rights to a majority of the house mem
bers, and, therefore, to denial OF con-
stitutional rights to the people whose
representatives the house members
are.
Speaker Adkins has supplied more
good democratic campaign ammuni-
ton.
AS to the proposed special session,
If one is called, the governor viii make
a great popular move if he includes the
and referendum. That would
make a special session worth while,

Trusts?

1t is rather amusing to read some of
the editorials in republican newspa-
pers upon the decision of the United
States supreme court in the case OF
the Standard Oil company of New Jer-
sey. How sanctimonious the republi-
can editors have become all of a sud
den. They even go so far as 10 COM
mend the supreme court for finding the
oil trust is an octopus, that it has been
operating in restraint of trade, and that
because of the very evil character of
the giant corporation it must be dis
solved.
A few years ago the simple word
trusts" formed a paramount issue in
national campaigns. You all remem-
Der how Bryan especially emphasized
the importance of dealing with these
monopolies as their organization in re-
straint of trade demanded that they
should be dealt with, and as the law
itself directed
But then the republican press de
clared that there were no such thing
as trusts. They defended the Standard
Oil and similar giant corporations
which were piling up billions of dollars
through a system of monopoly. They
advocated a high tariff under the so
called protective propaganda, and this
very tariff was made a fattening feed
ing trough for the hogs of finance
which were building up these colossal
monopolies.
OF course the nation approves the
conclusions reached by the United
States supreme court in this one great
case. II is no surprise, however, that
this Standard Oil octopus has been
found TO have operated in restraint of
trade. No one knows that better than
the consumer. That such a system of
operation was in violation of law was
also quite generally understood And
while the courts decision is enlighten-
ing along this line. it may also be a re-
minder TO the republican newspapers
that what they said editoriaIly in their
attacks upon those democrats who
have been making trusts an issue was
inspired more by political prejudice
than by truth.
The crime of the age is monopoly
Men, women and little children are its
victims.
