Why can't the legislature use lit
tie better sense?
Why waste so much time at the be-
ginning and then overwork at the

1t seems to be a matter of psychol-

with each other. They are much like
men going to work at new trade.
They must first get used to the tools.
They must get on to the "Tricks Of
the trade" This will account for a
large part of the delay at the start.
THE RUSH AT THE END.
It is easy to understand the rush
at the end. Everyone has some pet

THE POWER OF THE SPEAKER.
Here is where the power of the
speaker comes in.
The man who can get on the
good side Of the speaker and get rec.
ognition can often succeed. He who
cannot catch the speakers eye stands
a poor chance to make laws.
Sometimes the location of a mans
seat is a greater factor than his abil
itv in determining his influence.
Those at the extreme right and left
are not in the range Of the Speakers
vision. No matter how impartial the
Speaker may be it is almost inevitable
that these members should be some

God; w. G. Lee, president of the

hood; w. G. Lee, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
and William S. Carter, president of
the firemen's organization. Present
also were representatives of the wom-
ans auxiliaries of the various railway
employees organizations. The trus-
tees reported to the organization
heads respecting charges against
John O'Keefe, manager Of the Home,
as preferred by George H. Morris, a
citizen of Highland Park.
Last August Mr.. Morris, who had
become acquainted with inmates of
the Home, sent to lodges and divis'
ion headquarters Of the various rail
way employees societies a pamphlet
attacking Mr.. O'Keefe. In the main
those charges covered all sorts OF
minor complaints such as inmates OF
similar institutions are likely to make
at any time. However, some of the
accusations were more or less serious
and involved Mr.. O'Keefe's humanity
as we'll as his efficiency.
Following the issuance of this cir.
cular by Mr.. Morris, the board of trus'
tees of the institution conducted a
searching investigation and discover.
ed that most of the complaints were
not we'll founded. Mr.. O'Keefe natur.
ally was angry and proceeded to sue
Mr.. Morris for libel, the case being
prosecuted in the Circuit Court #
Lake County, ILL.,, at Waukegan. The
jury could not agree.
1t was the consensus of opinion OF
those present at the meeting that Mr..
O'Keefe had not been given fair treat.
ment by Morris and his associates and
that the best way Of showing adver-
saries that he was right and they were
wrong was to reopen the suit against
Mr.. Morris and prosecute it to the
end. Accordingly, resolution was
passed that Mr.. O'Keefe should be re-
imbursed for the money he had al
ready spent for lawyers fees in the
first suit and that an appropriation be
made to push the case further.
Mr.. O'Keefe explained his position
to the committee, saying that Mr..
Morris reflected the sentiment of a
certain clique in Highland Park which
he said, had become inimical to him
because he had refused permission to
vote inmates of the Home en- masse
for a certain candidate for school
trustee of that town. Manager o.

Keefe said that once or twice he had
allowed this clique to take the Home
residents in automobiles and buses to
the polls to vote for their candidate,
but adverse comment by leading citi-
zens had made him feel that this move
had been unwise and so he forbade a
repetition of it. He declared several
ladies who had been working hard for
the candidate had become displeased
with him on this account and that
from their displeasure had sprung the
circumstances which resulted in the
Morris circular.

ARBITRATOR HAVE ANOTHER
. WEEK TO CONSIDER EVIDENCE
Railroad Men Are cheerfuIIy Looking
For Award To Be Handed

For Award To Be Handed
Out.
Chicago, April 19-Another week
has passed and the six men arbitrat-
ing the wage requests of $4,000 West
ern railway engineers, fremen and
hostlers are in the midst of their lab
ors. No intimation mas come from
any member Of the arbitration board
as to what, If any. findings have been
reached on any one of the sixteen ar
ticles of the employees requests. The
proceedings of the arbltrators from
the beginning have been tightly seal
ed from the probe of the inquis'tor
and not word as to the trend of the
boards sentiment on wage or hour
demands has been dropped.
Rumor in the federal building has
indicated that the arbitrators have
pledged themselves to secrecy. The
same good natured Dame vouchs afes
the information that during the last
six or seven days the half dozen DELHI
orators have been obtaining all the
information possible concerning each
and every request. That is, the board
apparently is posting itself thorough
ly on every point in the great controv.
ersy before beginning to write down
any final decision on any of the var
ious articles.
It may not be lese majestic to add
that high officials of the engineers
and firemen's brotherhoods have been
in an extremely happy mood during
the current week. This also applies
to the employees arbitrators, F. A. Bur-
CESS of the engineers brotherhood and
Timothy Shea of the firemen's or.
ganization. These arbitrators have
returned from the federal building
with buoyant step, seemingly satisfied
with the world.
"There must be good news for the
men in the arbitration proceedings? p
has been a question that a rash in.
terrogator has fired at each Of these
diplomats.
Chicago weather at this time oil
the year. is certainly beautiful" the
arbitrator would answer.
"Have you reached any final yer
dict on any of the articles?" was the
next query.
ThompsOn certainly won a smash
ing victory in the Chicago mayoralty
fight, didn't he?"-this with a far
away smile.
Well, is your cheerfulness indicate
Of anything interesting to the genera
public?"
"Oh, am always happy. Goodby.'
The arbitrator have until April 81
to hand down their award and if on,
may trust the judgment of wise oh
servers, they will take all of tina
time. It is possible that during tn
coming week some very signif1can
conclusions may be reached but it 4
hardly probable that the board will
complete final award on all of tn,
sixteen articles much before the dead
line date.

point; the Speaker was KIND to NOEL.
er and the thing was put over. The
next day the Boxing bill was passed
with a small margin to spare, largely
due to log rolling. Some voted for
the bill because they wanted the help
of Moeller and his friends when their
pet bills came up.
A STRONG CONTRAST.
Representative Wefald, "dry"
Member, wanted to bring up the bill
to grant the vote to women for presi-
Dental primaries and Presidential
electors.
The Speaker had promised to recog-

Boxing Bill. He had tried number
Of times to get recognition, but with

Wefald and the friends of Votes for
Women were equal to the occasion.
They moved to postpone the Special
