WOMAN NEW CHICAGO BOSS
QUEEN OF LITTLE ITALY" TO
BE BIG POLITICIAN.
Now Since Women Have Franchise,
Will Tell Them as Well as Men
How to Vote.

Chicago June 30.-With the sign
ing of the woman's suffrage bill By
Governor Dunno there cane into ex-
lstence automatically a new factor in
Chicago downtown politics, and one
expected to prove powerful in fu-
ture municipal elections.
Chicago has a new boss" 1t is
Mrs. Annie Carlo-Blasi, for twenty
years undisputed Queen of Little il
ally"
Mrs. Blast is better known as An
ME Carlo, as her marriage to Blast
is recent. Her occupation as midwife,
which has served somewhat in her po-
litical work, is far from her principal
occupation. AS furnisher of bonds
in South Clark street, as adviser to
the politicians seeking information
On the probable Italian vote, and as
a person of great influence in swing
ing votes by the thousands she has
long been well known.
But her influence hereafter is go
ing to be much greater. Heretofore
she has had to tell the women what
their husbands must do, ana to issue
orders to the men themselves-orders
which have generally been obeyed.
But now she will control the votes of
the women themselves, and forcing
them to take an interest in politics
on their own account will be able
through them to swing more of the
mems votes.
II wouldn't fight my friends" she
said, they've been good to me. But
want the women to work and want
them to have jobs. We ought to have
women on the police force"
II is said she already has an or
ganization of 5000 Italian women
through the city, with big organiza-
ton in the First ward.

Great Defense.

The great advocate let us call him
Mr.. McSweeney-was defending a
man In a murder case. The case
looked hopeless, and McSweeney sub
mitted no evidence for the defense.
So the public prosecutor, believing
that conviction was assured, ended
with just few perfunctory re-
marks.
Then, In a quiet, conversational
tone, the famous McSweeney begin to
talk to the jury. He made no men
ton of the murder. He just described
in vivid coIors a pretty country cot
tage rung with honeysrckle, a young
wife preparing supper, and the rosy
youngsters waiting at the gate to
greet their father on his return homo
for the evening meal. Suddenly Nc
Sweeney stopped. He drew himself
up to his full height. Then, striking
the table with his fist he cried in a
voice that thrilled every bosom:
Gentlemen, you must send him
back home to then!"
A red-faced juror choked and blurt-
ed out: "By George, sir, Wen do It"

Andrew Alexander Bruce, justice of

addressed the meeting of the Wiscon-

afternoon on "The Call of Today"
Cicero said that true law is right,
reason conformable to nature, univer.
sal, Interchangeable and eternal, whose
commands urge us to duty and whose
prohibitions restrain us from evil"
said Judge Bruce. "This law cannot
be contradicted by any other law, and
is not liable to derogation or abroga-
ton. Neither the senate nor the peo-
pie can give us any dispensation for
not obeying this universal law of JUS
tice. 1t needs no other exposition and
interpreter than our own conscience.
1t is the sovereign master and mod
orator of all beings. We never have
had, and perhaps never will have,
this true law.
How can our legislatures who meet
together for but a few weeks and
come to our legislative halls ignorant
of the struggle of the race and of the
law they are seeking to change, &C
quire knowledge sufficient for the
purpose? They must necessarily at
times, even though with the purest
motives, legislate for classes and over
throw rules which are founded upon
centuries of experience and centuries
of heroic martyrdom! 1t costs today
$4,000 to send single letter to every
voter in Wisconsin. If woman's suf-
frage comes among us 1t will cost
$4,000.
Il am often ashamed of the history
of our courts. and of the history of
the lawyer. I am, however, equally
ashamed Of the history of the legis-
lator and of Democracy. To be can
did with you, I am not proud Of my
ancestors. Our past has been too
much past of selfishness and of
barbarism. 1t Is only recently that
we have begun to catch even
glimpse of the real meaning of Chris
tianity, and to understand in any
measure the social and economical
