were worth having asked him if that
meant that | was to yield to the ring in
politics. He answered somewhat impa-
tently that / was entirely mistaken (as i'm
fact | was) about there being merely a
political ring, Of the kind Of which the
papers were fond of talking; that the
ring If il could be called such-that is
the inner circle-inclu, ID certain big bust
ness men and the politicians, lawyers and
judges who were in alliance with and to
a certain extent dependent upon them. and
that the successful man had to win his
success by the backing of the same forces,
whether in law, business or politics.
This conversation not only Interested
me, but made such an impression that |
always remembered it, for IL was the first
glimpse | had of that combination be-
tween business ana politics which | was
in after years so often TO oppose In the
America Of that day, and especially among
the people whom | knew, the successful
business man vas regarded by everybody
as pre-eminently the good citizen The
orthodox books on political economy, not
only in America but in England, were
written for his especial glorhcation. The
tangible rewards came TO him, the admi-
ration of his Fellow citizens OF the re-
spectacle type was apt To be his. and the

never tired OF denouncing politicians and
political methods were wont to hold up

life. Herbert Croly. in THE Promise of
American Life has set forth the reasons
why our individualistic dcmocracy-which
taught that each man was TO rely exclu-
sively on himself was in no way to DE in
terfered with by others and was To de-
vote himself 10 his own personal welfare
necessarily produced the type of business

The exception to which he referred was

/ They had not minced words. They had
| shown that they were alive TO the condi-
tons in their respective cities ~ the
course Of the discussion Mayor O'Ne
OF Auburn had asked: What is the diff.
ference between the man who gathers a
profit from these unfortunate and the
municipality that fines them periodically
for the support of the city government
II / remember correctly. Mr. Knecands
paper said that one municipality fined the
proprietors of these houses and the in
mates regularly once a month. Is that
right? The proprietors were fined IS
every three months, and the unfortunate
women S. every three months. This
money went into the Golfers Of the mu-
nicipality And the good and true people
Of that city helped TO run the city gov
eminent by the profits that that city gov
eminent made by prostitution. Is that
right"

SEE DEADLOCK IN
SENATOR CHOICE

Springfield. Ill, Feb. 1o.-The sena-
torial situation was extremely chaotic
today. Despite the fact that the prop
erly constituted machinery Of the DEM
ocratic party has caused a senatorial
caucus to be called tonight, it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful if one will be held
Colonel Lewis friends have raised the
first suspicion against the caucus plan
to nominate q candidate for the short
term. They are fearful of any pro
posal that comes from the other fac
tions of the party. This disposition
has been growing since last week.
There are indications a senatorial
deadlock may continue through the
whole session of the legislature
It is reported the progressives are
as badly split as the democrats. Some
are said to favor Funk. others Colonel
Dewey, some Medill Mccormick, and
still others favor Walter Clyde Jones.
