The downward career of Edmund J.
Condor, the young attorney at law who
was sentenced by Judge Burpee in the
superior court to serve four months
in the county jail at Norwich and pay
a fine of $500, is a disappointing sur
prise to the friends of the young man,
who predicted for him the brightest of
bright futures. He graduated from
Buckley school with the highest hon
ors and at the graduating exercises
displayed oratorical ability that stamp
ed him as a leader in that line. He
also graduated from the University of
Wisconsin with honors and passed high
examination in admission to the bar of
New London county. He took Office
with Judge ALFRED Colt and establish
ed himself well in the law and was
gaining deserved prominence in his
profession for one. SO young. He evil
IDENTIFY could not stand prosperity and
gradually drifted into fast company,
with men his leaders, and then he
gradually began to lose caste, al
though all through his troubles he has
the genuine sympathy of many true
friends who did not desert him in ad
versity. To keep up with the pace he
mapped out there was necessity for
money, more than he could honestly
obtain. and he appropriated what did
not belong to him and did things that
none knew better than he were Grim
inal acts from which he could not ex-
pect to avoid detection.
Condor was such a brilliant speaker
that he was invited to make addresses
on several public occasions and always
acquitted himself with credit both in
his home town and elsewhere.
Since his admission to the bar, from
which he will soon be debarred, he was
active in republican political work, and
just prior to the last state election he
was prominently mentioned as candi
date for representative from his native
city. He was deservedly popular until
his wronsdoings came to the surface
few months ago. Condor is a young
man and upon his release from Jail
will have opportunity to redeem him
self and if proper spirit is shown he
will find many friends ready with
willing hands to give him all merited
encouragement. While the punishment
is justidabIe there is probably no case
in New London where there was so
much genuine regret for the shortcom-
ings of this young man. He was a
favoTite member of several local or
carnations and was the chief officer
OF one of large membership at the time
of his arrest.

The commission, after careful examination of data at

social evil in Chicago and place it between $1500O0O0
and $16O0O000 large portion of which is profit from the

Liquor the Greatest Ally to Vice
The rest Of this chapter is composed Of the most sordd
details Of vice and disease probably published No

soclaon it will be twenty to twenty-five years before any
licenses will be granted because the city ordinance
provides that shall be issued until saloons

for the fact that saloon licenses that 81 900 per

The organizer of the Liquor Dealers Association states
that 25 per of the saoonkeepers the city 90 out of

to the belief that the business Improbable, but that

city, neither it restricted to person, but is valid for

fact that it does not that others only always ready

THE TRIPOLITAN ARABS.

There evidently one thing that italy did

with Tripoli. That the character of the
Arabs she would meet there.

Mecca and Medina still, to them, the hottest

wilder and fercer than III their native Arabia.
1t is supposed that the book of job in the
Bible is Arabian literature; now as then their
horses are part of the family and they are as
good riders as their forefathers For years
the sultans Of Turkey have ruled them by per
hitting them to have their own way. They live
hard lives with few comforts; to them years of
half guerrilla warfare will seem no special hard

SIX STEAMERS CHARTERED.

Six Scotch steamships have Just been char
tered by cur navy department to carry coal from
Norfolk to San Francisco around Cape Horn at
$40 a ton; the award Of the business was under
competitive bids asked for by the department in
which only one American steamship participated
the j. NJ LucSenbach, her bid being So ton
but it was accepted, although $3.50 ton increase
al the other bids; the navy necessities demanded
at least seven cargoes of coal to be shipped
to the Pacific coast at this time The laws of
the United States forbid the charterng of foreign
bottoms III the coastwise trade, but the navy de
partment is permitted to do it under certain con
ditions. With the completion of the Panama
canal Will tins special arrangement be allowed to
continue? There is no doubt more profit for
these Scotch ''tramps" in coal freghts around
Cape Horn at $40 per ton than there is for
the Luckenbach at IS ton; lower cost Of con
stractltn and operation account for it; and both
classes of ships have to pursue the natural sea
routes When the canal is in operation, however,
the route will be through artificial waterway
provided by the United States at Il cost of prob
ably S4500O00OO. There ought then to be quite
enough American bottoms to do all the Pacific
port coa-carryng business for the navy depart
mentor schoOners and other sailing and wooden
craft may then safely engage in the trade But il
it so happens that there not enough to
meet the demand. will the United States still
strain the law and let foreign bottoms into this
coastwise trade Would it not be altogether the
part of business wisdom and good government
policy to open the canal free of tolls for all
American tonnage engaging in the coastwise
trade! That would stimulate the building of
domestic vessels for this purpose and competing
with each other and never again would the navy
department be forced to charter Scotch 'tramps''
