A CORRUPT SYSTEM

Judge Foster of the City Court has prosecuting liquor agent, substantial ly for the issuance of 53 warrants against various persons charged with violation of the liquor laws. The finding is necessary under the stat ute, which allows s1O for each case brought in good faith and prescott ed.
 The statute should be repealed, because it is a statute providing for fees and because it is a. statute that makes it profitable for those charged with authority to permit the very evils to thrive which it is the assum- ed purpose of the law to terminate.
 Violations of the liquor law are of such a nature that they cannot exist except with the permission, tacit, or understood, of the prosecuting author ities.
 If the prosecuting authorities who depend upon fees for compensation ehGCIuciiE uo tleIT WOTh In0Te VIII be no violations of the law and no fees.
 That follows which might be ex- pected to follow. The violations are permitted until the practice is open and those engaged in it numerous. Then the prosecuting liquor agent makes out warrants, draws his fat compensation and hands out his in- terviews relative to sturdy determina- tion to enforce the law.
 The thing is a scandal. The bar association should join for it's correc- tion. Abolish the office of prosecu- ting liquor agent Entrust the en-. forcement of the law to the regular authorities. Dispense entirely with the fee system
 So long as the work of prosecuting liquor violations is in the hands of prosecuting liquor agents who depend upon fees for compensation, which fees depend the continuance of law breaking, so long will justice be de- rided and shame sit among "the of ficers of the court
 The law which creates liquor agents and pays them by fee ought to be called "a law for the promotion of law breaking and the better com- pensation of certain lawyers"

right to six trolley tickets for a quarter. This would be repealed.
 Since 1865 the statute has required that communication rates should bear a certain relation to trip rates on railroads. This also would be re- pealed.
 The law relating to demurrage would be repealed.
 And so the list runs The Legisla- tive Board simply does not really understand what the majority bill means.
 At the same time the board has the constitutional right of petition, and in it's exercise of that right was entitled to an absolutely respectful hearing. Its communication should not have been termed a "screed" and the petition should have been per- mitted to take the course usual in such cases.

THE NEANDERTHAL MAN

The first discovery, outside of con- tinental Europe, of the remains of a Neanderthal man, has reopened in scientific circles discussion of various phases of the Darwinian theory of evolution, which alleges for man an origin far back in time. in some anil mai that was an earlier ancestor of the ape. This is the ''man descended from monkey theory which has not proved entirely acceptable to Devery- body, although in that phrase the Darwinian view is really stated in a most temperate form, for in Dar- wins philosphy of the origin of life it is deemed to have begun in the water. and then to have manifested in lowly creatures capable of surviv- ing on land, from which all other creatures have been slowly evolved. The actual claim is, that man had his origin in a simple cell form, in the ape stage in his asserted ancestry he was far up in the scale of evolu- ton.
 Be this as it may the latest find represents a member of the human any now existing.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
(New Haven Union.)

There can be no disguising the fact that the special interests have turned to Democracy as the most likely in- strument to keep them in power at the national capital. They see no hope of a Republican reactionary or stand batter winning next year, so vide spread and deep-seated is the doctrine of progression within the RepubIi- can ranks.
 It is certain they would not sup port a progressive candidate upon the equally certain Aat h the o only tS chance chance the Republican party has to win any thing in 1912 is to nominate a pro- gresss1Ve. The reactionary element within the Republican party has been thoroughly discredited. The elections last fall proved the party would have not the slightest chance of carrying over dozen states if it goes into the campaign of 1912 under the leader ship of the standpatters. of the par ty, and yet under no other leader ship could the Republican party hope to command the support of the large financial and corporate interests. This makes it impossible in either alternative for the interests to hope for anything from the Republican party. They would not identify would be against the party upon the only platform and under the only leadership that must bring party vic tory.
 It is an assured fact that the inter- ests are now secretly and actively at work endeavoring to mass themselves behind the Democratic party Their agents and emissaries are at work everywhere. The bipartisan ma- chine the agent of special privilege. is stretched out in the land. The Tammany machine in New York, the Sullivan-Lorimer machine in Illinois, the Cox machine in Ohio, the Penrose machine in Pennsylvania, the Taggart machine in Indiana, the bipartisan machine in Wisconsin, Colorado, Mon tana, California are all the same. They draw their power and author ity from Wall street-and their seats in Congress. With all hopes of both harmony and victory with the Repub- lican party out of the question, these interests will center. and are now centering their efforts to rehabilitate Democracy and put it in power in 1912.
 William Jennings Bryan's influence can be counted against the nomina- tlon of any reactionary Democrat for the office of president, and moreover, his influence will be against such a nominee if the interests should per chance control the next Democratic national convention. Bryan and the standpatters of Democracy have come to the parting@of the ways
 This stand Of Bryans reflects the sentiment of fully S9 per cent. of the rank and file of the party which
