GEORGE z. BRENNAN.

One OF the delegates from Illinois
who Is sure to attract attention at
Baltimore Is George f. Brennan of the
Tenth district.
We have watched the progress OF
Mr.. Brennan in politics for twenty
years and have often during that time
seen his sagacity and foresight put to
the test, but always with good results
for the Democratic party.
We have reason to know that no
one was closer to the late Governor
Altgeld than he and to no mans ad.
vice did the deceased statesman listen
more eagerly. He was welcome Wis.
itor at the executive mansion and at
the governors table and did much
towards promoting those policies
which have since came into popular
favor.

JUDGE scANlAN 10 RIGHT.

Judge Kickham Scanlan hit the nail
on the head as usual, on Monday
night. The occasion was the twenty.
fifth anniversary dinner of the Chi.
cago-Kent College Of Law Alumni.
John T. Richards. president elect Of
the Chicago Bar association, had
started the series OF speeches with
general protest against the recall Of
judges and the current criticism Of
the judiciary. In conclusion he rec.
ommended the Massachusetts method
of naming judges-appointmen for
life by the governor Of the common.
wealth with the assent OF his council.
The suggestion was not opposed by
Judge Frederick A. Smith of the Ap.
pellate court. a later speaker. and ev.
erything was harmonious.
When Judge Scanlan's turn came
some Of the banqueters had left, and
he decided to liven things up. He did
and left Mr.. Richards somewhat out
OF breath.
THE people have had an idea that
during the last fifty years money has
had too much to do with the govern.
ment Of the United States" said Judge
Scanlan. after leading the audience to
believe he was going to make few
placid remarks and sit down. What
is more. the people are right. Is there
any lawyer SO feeble mindedSa to be.
lieve that every decision by every
Judge in this country has been an
honest decision?
What Is there sacred about the po-
sition Of judges, anyway? Why should
a judge not be criticised. His taking
OF an oath does not make OF him a
better man than he was before. Some
judges have gone wrong.
"As to the proposal for the appoint.
ment of judges. am forced to express
my honest opinion that the people
must continue to elect their judges, or
We shall soon see the end Of this coun
try. When the day comes that the
judges are named by an authority
other than the people that day marks
the beginning OF the end"

THE ICE TRUST.

Now that the hot season Is upon US.
It Is well to call attention to the fact
that much of the product sold by the
Ice Trust in Chicago, is far from
sanitary.
1t is cut in many of the nasty little
lakes In northern Illinois and southern
Wisconsin, around which the poorer
class of summer home owners have
cottages and the toughest class OF ho-
tel keepers have hotels.
The sewage from all of these is
drained into the little lake where 1t
settles until dissolved. remains until
frozen and is then cut up as ice and
sold in the city.
The Ice Trust has the field all to II.
self and gets what it asks for its caked
nastiness.

DEAN SUMNERlSM.

There is entirely too much Dean
Board. We believe in common with
many of our fellow citizens that the
school board Is no place for clergy
man of any denomination, no matter
how good a man he may be. The man
who recommends the appointment OF
a clergyman to the School Board must
have a limited acquaintance In Chi
cago when he OverlOoks so many
broad minded, high class laymen who
would do honor to membership in
that body. Dean Summers crusade in
favor of teaching sex hygiene" to the
poor innocent children who attend the
public schools Is arousing criticism
and opposition everywhere. Chicago
Is not the only place where people
object to children "eating of the tree

EIektorokicz Was De Ryss

From the New York Times.
 Emil Elektorowicz, resident engineer of the Rapid Transit Subway Construction company, living at 6S West Sixty-eightn street recently obtained permission 10 change his name to Emil de Ryss. He is a native of fAustria-Hungary, and he Is as- suming the old name of his family, who still live at his old home. When he came to this country few years ago he took this long name of 12 letters for reasons which he does not care to give out. He says that in his business he has occasion to use the telephone many times a day, and he finds it exceedingly difficult to make the name of Elektorowicz under stood. For instance, person will call up and ask for the resident engineer. He answers:
 Hello"
 Hello Who is this, please?"
 This is MT. Electorowicz."
 What did you say? Something the mat ter with the electric wire?'
 NO, no. This is MT. Electorowicz, the engineer"
 "oh, yes. see. Mir. -. Who did you say?"
 Then Mir. Electorowicz spells out his name carefully several tmes and the per- son at the other end of the wire finally comprehends. Much time is wasted, to the annoyance of both parties. There will be no more such delays now, however, for the name that MT. Electorowiez has as- sumed is quite easy to the ear, even over a telephone wire.

THE BIGGEST EVER
Republic of China Means 439, ,000,000 People Scattered Over Vast Area

From the New York Evening World.
 The great" Republic of China indeed. The greatest on earth-439, ,000,000 people scattered over an area of 4,277,0o0 square miles. The United States, with the Phil ippines, Porto Rico and Hawaii, has a population of 1O4,0OoO00 and an area of 8, ,70000O square miles. The new republic has, therefore, 500,000 square miles more of territory and more than four times as many people as the United States.
 Besides China proper the word great includes Thibet, Turkestan, Mongolia and Manchura. These latter regions are large ly barren, and while they represent a space nearly two-tHirds of the new repub- lie they amount only to about tenth of its population.
 ! But 400,OO0, GOO people. Assuming an emer- gency war strength of one soldier for every 10 of it's population, possible army of 4O,0O00O0. In the geopraphies China used to be described as country whose land frontier consists of almost impassa- be mountains and deserts which from re- mote antiquity have effectually cut off this corner of the world from interchange of people, products and ideas with other re- gons and places,'
 A nation of 400000,0O0 that can turn it's government upside down so deftly, so quietly and in accordance with the most improved modern methods has outgrown that description.

Steel Making Town by Night

From the New ' ok Sun.
 Those who have lived in steel making towns never forget the sight of the great mills in operation at night. The tall chimneys that poin ttheir black fingers sl1yward by day at night turn into won derful candles, each with it's waving, many colored flame flckering against the black sky. The iron shathed buildings seem to reflect white glow from every opening and every window is a spot of chimneys that point their black fingers from a converter shoots upward. filling the air with glittering sparks. Then a train load of hot metal creeps through the yard, some of the metal sputtering and glowing and another part darkening into a rich red. If it is a wire mill there is a seeming ly endless tube of heated wire in coils travelling along an overhead cenveyer. Nearer the rolling mill the coils are very white, but they grow dinner, until those furtherest away from the hot mills are black and invisible.
