For the protection of the class that
is said to increase at the rate of one a
minute this Durkee claim should be
settled once and for all and Judge
Belden is evidently of that opinion for
there is going to be no further delay
is the judicial determination of the
status of this case if he can help it.
Nobody knows how much stock'' in
this claim has been sold, but there is
not the slightest doubt that it has
been source Of revenue to somebody
for the past twenty years and the mere
fact that the promoters of this
claim have case pending in the courts
of this county has undoubtedly been
used as an argument to induce people
to purchase shares in the claim. TLe>
case is to go to trial on its merits and
the parties interested will have an op-
portunity to substantiate their conten-
tion that there is any estate of the late
Charles Durkee that has not been adj
ministered. In case they fail to do so
every possible effort should be made to
stop the sale of any more Of this
"stock.''

There are some things about his plan. however, which are not clear to me For enc: Is 1t an untried system, or one which has actually been worked out in actual experience, with actual men and cows and sheep and pigs, etc.? Really, in farming as in cook cry, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. One phrase in his letter-"One ought to get $500 year from cows, " etc.-leads to the suspicion that the plan may still be mostly on paper, and not yet practically developed.

ed In 1912.
Soon after, Dougherfy asked for an
accounting of the funds which he had
turned over to the school trustees
and later began civil suits to recover
the property. He alleged he wanted
the remainder of the property TO carry
him and his family through their de-
clining years.
A new states attorney in Peoria
back by a number of citizens, express
ed objection to the suit by bringing
Dougherty to trial on one of the old
indictments. He was convicted and
sentenced to 90 back to the peniten-
tiary.
Attorney barrow argued before the
supreme court that Dougherty had
served his complete punishment when
he was pardoned The supreme court
admitted the punishment feature, but
ruled that the new conviction was
legal.
Now a petition for rehearing has
been filed. Dousherty has withdrawn
the civil suits and given quitclaims to
the property. Sentiment is high IN
Peoria. Many citizens there believe
Illinois cannot afford to send this dig
man back to a cell. Others still re-
sent the abandoned civil actions and
demand tooth for tooth. On Mon
day the state pardon board VIII meet
at Joliet TO take up the question OF
a new pardon for Dougherty on MS
