the other detectives who worked on
the case are corrupt; that all of us
are corrupt and merely seeking to
convict Frank because of our person
al ambitions; that your honor has
lost his head; that | have lost mine
and that we are simply sending this
man to the gallows irrespective Of his
guilt.
Jurors Are Defended.
"If Mr. Arnold will exercise a lit
tie abstinence from the money Of
Franks poor Brooklyn relatives It
may prove good step toward gaining
his erstwhile composure."
The Solicitor devoted practically the
entire day to a defense Of A. II. Hen
slice and Marcellus Johenning, the jul
rors charged by the defense with en-
pertaining bias and prejudice toward
the defendant before they were Sc
lected to sit on the jury. Dorsey de-
scribed this accusation against Hen
slice and Johenning as the only new
phase which had arisen since the trial
and, consequently, the only one which
deserved any extended discussion, as
all the others han been settled once
and for all when the evidence was
offered and accepted and the jury re-
turned its verdict of guilty.
He made vigorous attacks on af
fiants who swore against the jurors,
and ridlculed the idea that either of
them had possessed any deep seated
prejudice before the trial. The Solic-
itor doubted that they had made the
remarks credited to them, but read
law citations to show that even If
they had. the fact did not furnish suf-
flcient ground on which to upset the
verdict OF the jury.
Dorsey also defended Jim Conley's
testimony on Franks alleged conduct
with women as perfectly admissible,
again citing cases in which evidence
Of one crime had been admitted in
the record for the purpose of estab-
fishing the probability that the de-
PENDANT was guilty of the crime for
which he was on trial.

THE DRAMATIC OUTLOOK

there is a reversal from the shattered
standards of dramatic taste its appeal
will be meager.
The moving picture will continue to
have its profitable clientage, but the
question is unsolved just how much of
that clientage can be won to a division
of preference so that the theater con
claim share of the profits to make
its business a dependable thing This
is, admittedly, period % pro jpecting
Of pulse-feeling, among dramatists and
impresarios. The ultimate solution
may lie in reservation to cleau-@ut
dramatic types. The plays the thing
after all, so why not have it? Or it
may result in the precipitation of the
drama-loving public toward fewer
theaters, especially in the large cen.
tiers. Those who see in the real play
form of art which ought to be ele-
waited and kept clear of debasing in
fluences wish for an early settlement
OF vagrant tastes. 1t lies with the
managers to give us real drama, and
with the public to support that drama

CAN CANNON aCoME R.Ckr,

A special dispatch from Washington
says that Uncle Joe" Cannon will try
TO be reelected to congress from the
18th Illinois district His entrance in
to the campaign is characteristic.
II Is said that Congressman Mann of
Chicago. the republican leader of the
house, has obtained passage of an Or
der to print as a public document an
article by Cannon attacking the initia-
tive and referendum and other reforms
and which appeared in the Saturday
Evening Post. This document is now
being mailed to voters in Cannon's dis
trict under the frank of Congressman
Mann.
Thus does Uncle Joe open his cam
paign at public expense.
One may seriously question whether
this will help him to come back" 1t
is hardly necessary for Uncle joe
ITO send letters into his district to vot-
ers showing that he is a conservative
of the stand-pat type. That is well
known TO every voter in the district,
and that is the reason why he was de.
feated at the last congressional cleo.

CONTINUING THE VIOLATIONS

At exactly s:45 last evening two
motorcycles INDUCED in an exciting
race up Second avenue Had an Off
Ger on an outlying beat who was stand
ing at the corner of Nineteenth street
waiting for a car, stepped out on the
pavement at that particular moment
he would have been run down, as the
motorcycle riders were going at full
speed when they passed
During the evening automobiles and
motorcycles continued their contempt
for the ordinances by running at any
old speed and cutting into crowds
waiting for cars. From outlying Sec
tons of the city today came reports
that there has been no abatement Of
the speed mania. 1t exists on all the
paved streets, and probably will con-
tinue until something happens that
will bring everybody up standing.
Disregard for requirements as to.
facing the proper direction when stand
ing at the curb is more apparent than
ever. Machines head into the side
walk in the way that best sJiits the
owners and the cars are left standing
any old way.
Attention of The Argus has been
called to the fact that teamsters are
as often violators of the traffic ordi-
nances as the automobile drivers or
motor riders. Il was in line Of auto
mobiles at Nineteenth street and Sec
end avenue yesterday afternoon which
were being properly held up during
the loading and unloading of the street

that time two express wagons were
driven through. The ordinance ought
/ 10 be uniformly enforced"
Which is correct Horse vehicles
are as often violators of the law in
the matter of strict observance of the
law, in fact in all respects, except
speeding, as machine owners, and are
just as subject TO prosecution.
The laws of the city should be uni
formly enforced, and the head OF the
police department may just as vel
make up his mind that the people de
mand It in the interest of public con
venience and Public safety.

TIVE PROPER SPIRIT.

Taken as a whole, and with but few
exceptions. the newspapers OF all par.
ties are sustaining President Wilson
in his attitude toward Mexico. Public
sentiment is with him.
The Bloomington Paragraph. con-
sentative republican, voices general
sentiment Of press and public when It
says the cry for intervention has
been started by Americans who have
financial interests in Mexico and who
see the ruination OF their interests If
the present conditions continue much
longer. But private interests should
not be placed above the public wei
fare. The United States has enough
problems within its borders without
going outside President
Wilson has demonstrated that he rec
ognizes the dangers and pitfalls OF
the Mexicon situation and Il seems
IIrobable that he will find a
peaceful way out OF the difficult
ties IN spite Of efforts from certain
sources to discredit his policy. To this
end conservative men Of all parties
will wish him success"
That's the proper spirit 1t is free

There is a broad field for specu-
lation in the transition Of the drama.
One may well wonder what the out
come will be. The acting stage today
is in less security than it ever was,
owing to a multitude of causes, the
chief one of which, without any cayil,
is the popularity of the moving picture
as a cheap and sufficient substitute,
in many peoples tastes, for the three
hour play. This is not to say that the
moving picture has permanently sup
planted the acted drama. That would
be unthinkable, most seriously re-
grettable evolution. But the legitimate
drama is on tenter hooks, the moves of
the managers are speculative, and the
than for years.
If there is a diffusion and a debase-
ment of dramatic taste-and most GER
tainly there is-it would be useless to
try to apportion responsibility between
the producers and the public. Both are
to blame. New and hybrid dramatic
forms, always tending more to light
ness, to frothiness, to evanescence,
have had their ephemeral appeal and
have been productive of returns to the
box office, but at the same time they
have made for deterioration of taste.
The literary play, the play of dis
tinction and purpose, where the actor s
art is consummate and the play itself
an inspiration, will continue to be
sought by thoughtful people, but until

a government patent to a mineral
claim. The ordinary citizen seems to
look on a government patent as GER
tificate of validity. Consequently the
wiley promoters have been full of
plans to secure patents to mineral
claims in the national forests, forcing
the forest service to adopt some rather
rather stringent regulations for the
protection of the public against fakes.
1t is not enough any more for the
prospector to assert that minerals ex-
list in a claim in order to secure a
patent to it. The service now sends
out inspectors under a regulation
adopted ito preserve the integrity of
the national forests and the good
standing of the mining industry" If
the inspector finds that no minerals
exist in the claim a patent is refused.

ester Graves in a recent statement, 'of

RAISING THE FLAG AT STARVED

RAISING THE FLAG AT STARVED
ROCK.
The flag raising at Starved Rock
Sept by the d. a. r. is a worthy
undertaking. The rock is one of the
historical spots of the state. There
the nlini Indians, from which Illinois
derived its name, made their last
stand. Illini, translated, reads, "su-
perior men," and the word should in
spire a certain statehood pride. Incl
dental to the days program the scat
tering of flowers in memory of the
pioneers and the soldiers of the revo-
lutionary and 1912 wars will also be
of patriotic interest.
The people are indebted to the D.
A. r. for keeping these patriotic
things in the foreground. Our country
is growing more and more cosmopoh
tan. 1t welcomes peoples from every
land. Truly this is the great melting
pot"
Yet the American ideals must live
must prevail. And nothing entwina rs
fact so securely as patriotic sentiment
which the legends and folk lore of the
earlier times have brought down Il
the present day.
