holders who lost by the looting OF the
Frisco system, may sue the big fell
lows for restitution. Possibly the suits
may result in the recovery Of none of
the money as the beneficiaries will no
doubt make themselves judgment
proof. but the practice of suits for res
titutiCn Will have a wholesome effect.
The maintenance of such suits breaks
down the barriers between degree of

ILLINOIS HISTORY.

Before the close of the new year, the
Illinois State Historical society will
have compiled a complete calendar of
the historical documents now in the
possession of the various counties of
the state. Prof. Theodore c. Pease,
formerly of the faculty of the Univer-
sity of Illinois and nov of the Uni
versity of Chicago, will take up this
work at once and expects to have it
completed by September 1 next.
The Historical society has decided
to have its survey completed immed-
lately in order to lay before the Ill
inois centennial commission at tina
earliest possible date, complete data
regarding historical documents and
relics such as are desired for the ex-
hibition during the celebration in 1918
OF the one hundreth anniversary or
the admission OF Illinois to statehood.
In addition to making the calendar of
historical public documents, Professor
Pease is instructed to locate all ma
terial that will add to the fullness Oh
the exhibition that is to form a fea-
ture OF the centennial celebration.
The Illinois legislature passed a law
in 1896 authorizing county commits
sioners and other county officials to
turn over to the state historical Ii
brary or to the University of Illinois
library documents of purely historical
value. AS a result of that legislation.
a wealth OF material has been secured.
Mrs Jessie Palmer Weber, librarian
Of the state historical library, spent
several weeks in the. musty vaults of
he Sangamon county court house,
which was once the state capitoFbuild-
ing. and dug out many priceless treas
1res that are now safely preserved in
the library. Officials of other counties
have placed additional documents in
the custody Of the historical library
and the state university until the col
lection has assumed impressive pro-
portions The greater volume of ma
terials of this sort, however. still are
scattered over the state, in more or
less precarious custody.

The conviction was general in
the party that some radical
changes were necessary for the
protection of the country, but good

The same with the tariff law.
Everybody knew that downward

was needed, but the party went
through the motions. 1t was this
somnolency and the refusal of the
party to nominate the president

Chicago republican leaders and busi-
ness men today discussed with deep
interest an editorial dealing with poll
tics and business printed in the cur
rent issue of the Economist, the con-
sentative organ of the big and numer-
Gus financial interest centering in La
Sale street.
The editorial applauds the admin
istration of President Wilson as hav-
ing accomplished something under
democratic reign that the republican
party successfully lodged for years.
The Economist declares it now is an
open question whether hereafter there
will be a republican party and sug-
gests that this is the day when the
Iarge-hearted republican will place a
plume in the hat of his old enemy.
The success of the democratic party.
under the guidance of President VII
son, in enacting new tariff law and
the subsequent passage of the cur
rency act, was an accomplishment,
says the Economist, that the republi-
can party never even approached in
the AZ years of its rule.
The Economist article reads:
He would be an ungenerous re-
publican, progressive, socialist,
prohibitionist, Independent or
what not who would refuse the
democratic party, or that COM
