politely bowling, leaving the attentive
Francois beside me, pad in hand. At
my suggestion the lady gave the or

I supplemented with bottle Of wine,
in spite of the energetic negative con-
veyed to me across the table. AS the

extremely attractive she was. She
must have read something of this in
my eyes for her own smiled visit

Another secret? Well, then, an
swer this-what do you think of
Perond's?"
Actually l am unable to realize
where l am," l answered honestly.
1.-THE contrast from those dark streets,
suggestive of crime, to this brilliancy
is altogether too sudden. 1t has left
me dazed my mind refuses to func-

visit. / could not convince myself of
the true nature of the place; it
seemed-well, altogether too respect
able. | always associated the under
world with roughness and poverty, po-
lice surveillance, and all that. But
look out there; it is like a big hotel
dining-rOOm after the play. Those
women-some of them, at least-are
really elegantly dressed, and in excel
lent taste, and there is no more noise,
no more coarseness, than / have wit
messed at the Waldorf. The men are
not bad-lOoking, either, do you think"
"Well, there are all grades here,
now that l look about; yet, as you
say, the average is not bad. Prob

evening, when they take the lid off,"

is, entirely Mr. Mclaughlin, the de-
tective who came with US, said this
was really the most dangerous place
in town from the police viewpoint. Its
very surface quiet made it special
menace. Nothing was ever permitted
to occur here which would give the
department any excuse for a raid. If
there was a fight. or even a murder,
it was hushed up instantly, and the
victim hidden away, before even the
patrOlman on the block could hear
about it. He mentioned several cases;
and said the walters were especially
selected to take care of any rough
house."
Perhaps that is what makes it pop
ular with the class they cater to-"
Safe, you mean. Yes; he said they

trines have been erystallizing which give to majority

spirit IN which the constitution was conceived. There
fore the resistance to judge-made law. TO the .fve-to-
tour decisions and, as well, the increase Of trivial
hueation' in matters Of due process, etc.
1T is apparent that the constitution was REGARDED
~ It's trainers IS itself n bill of rights. touching the
people Of all the states, individually and collectively:
that not only its Interpretation, but the exercise Of
the vested jurisdiction Of the courts of the United
States must, in the absence Of positive law, be gov

law was not. says Story, introduced rs Of original and
universal obligation in its utmost latitude. but the
limitations contained in the bosom Of the common law
Itself and, indeed, Constituting a par. of the law Of
nations, were afirTuatively settled and recognized in
the respective charters Of settlement Thus limited
and defined. 1t has become the guardian of our poht-
zeal and civil rights. And by the goodness of God
we are now enjoying, under its bold and manly prin-
eiPies' the blessing Of n free, independent and united
government" Commentaries, Section 1881.
The importance Of this fundamental common law
IN the constitutional and state jurisprudence Of our
country cannot be overestimated. It portends the
uniformity Of municipal law in the United States and
the binding together Of the nations In one general in
ternatlonal legal order. 1t is to this common ground.

HE SAW THAT rr WAS coon.

II a perfect mathematician should construct m
arithmetie,' says the Minneapolis Journal. che would
naturally make it perfect. There would be no mis-
takes in it The correct methods Of working out the
problems would be given, and the answers furnished
would be correct Having finished his work on the
arithmetic, be would see that It was good.
1t Is the children who would bring the mistakes To
me text book, and who would learn by practice how to
eliminate those mistakes and, finally, how to secure the
correct solutions of all the problems.
We are told in the first chapter Of the Rock ~
Genesis' in the Hebrew Scriptures, that God made all
things perfect and that, when He surveyed his work
On the seventh day, He saw that 1t was good II is
Inc children of men who make the mistakes, the or
rors' the sins, and who are learning by their practice
more and more to eliminate the evil in their lives
tnat is, II they are real students of life.
And now comes the pessimist. the advocate Of the
soreid IN life and in literature. He points out all the
errors and the sins of the world. dwens on them with
noxious eNaggeration, and uses them to prove that the
worid is a vile place, not constructed by Divine wis
oom' but, apparently, by n kind of fendish ingenuity
q compass the unhappiness of mankind.
1t Is much as if among the students of ~arith,oe-
TIC were some who, pointing cut all the mistakes made
oy tne chiidren in school, conclude that the arithmetic
was the worst possible " books, made with fendish in
Renuity Tor the purpose of entrapping the innocent
ana simple minds of the children in error. But the
purpose OF arithmetic is good, as we know. Should
We not also conclude that the purpose of the world as
we nave 1t is good, that il is the result of Divine wis
oom and love, and intended for the instruction and
IN the long run, for the happiness of all its children

ing IN practice, the ways to avoid mistakes?

Iusr ANOTHER VAIN HOPE.

We entertain not even the faintest idea that Will
liam ]. Bryan can get away with n Florida senator
ship, Notwithstanding the activity of his friends. and
the industry of the fiction writers of the daily press.
William departed from Nebraska four years ago be-
cause 1t was not dry enough to meet his approval. He
chose Florida as a future home because at the time
it fulfilled all dry requirements. He will, within the
next sixty days complete his citizenship.
Meanwhile in matters dry, conditions have changed.
Nebraska resembles the old time powder horn and
Florida is saturated from the Cuban overflow. 1t was
the hope of William ]. to become the Democratic
presidential candidate on a bone dry ard liquor tight
fusal of his brethren either to embrace him or his plat
form he was desolate and then and there consigned his
heart to the grave where it has reposed until now.
William ]. is never so quite himself as when he sees
a job of saving the world or uplifting the universe. he
scents such a contract now in sweeping back the rum
laden waves that dash upon the coral reefs Of his new
" adopted home state. Others there may be who
would joust with the demon; but William j. remains
and ever shall remain, as he has in all other under
takings, the peerless one. He is the digger of the last
ditch and then declines to be buried in it. Like Kip
ling's Fuzzy Wuzzy he is generally hammin' when
he's dead"
Going back to the heart episode. There has been
a resurrection and William j. has since taken it apart,
oiled the working parts and finds it as good as ever
and ready TO resume business at the old stand
Since the old stand implies prohibition enforcement
to be the paramount issue with public office the final
purpose, the Bryan heart is expected to miss no single
beat until after the primaries, when it can again be
placed in the tomb.
Florida will not adopt William ]. as readily as some
of his ardergt admirers hope. There is still a differ
ence between a corn tassel and an orange blossom.

ONE BORN EVERY N

"a crooked bucket-shopp proprietor is merely a thief
and can be punished under the statutes forbidding lar
ceny," observes the New York Tribune. Recent dis
closures regarding the number of rascaIly concerns in
New York City do not point to the need of any more
laws. They merely prove that the laws now on the
statute books have been hxly enforced.
1.-THE astonishing thing about the disclosures is that
there are still so many people who can be easily gulled
by swindlers. One would imagine that after so many
investigations, each one accompanied by widespread
publicity, even the foolish investor would begin to be
wary.
the world. Yet a few years afterward Whitaker
Wright had little difficulty in obtaining vast sums of
easy money from people in England and America.
"Ten or fifteen years late along came Ponzi, who
dipped thousands of people into believing that he could
make them fortunes over night; and hardly is Ponzi
safe in Jail before we find that scores Of men of his
sort have been fattening on the %gullibility of the
sophisticated and suspicious city of New York.
upon swindiers of this sort the law cannot be too
severe. They deliberately seek to rob the poor and
the ignorant, and are too often highly successful. The
more of them caught and punished the more others of
the same sconudrelly inclinations viii be discouraged.

rent among gamblers, a member of that profession has
added and two to hook him.
sHAs long as there are gulls there win be sharks. In
most cases the victims of the sure-thing men and the
eet-rich-quick operators and the crooked bucketshop
keepers are seeking something for nothing. Like the
man who buys 'greengoods,' they are after an unfair
advantage in the race for wealth.
s"Until they learn that the only safe way to get
money is to work for it the papers win continue to
publish their names among the lists of the victims of
the sharper"
Directly upon the heels of ali of this evidence comes
the Bischof affair in Chicago, involving millions Of
dollars gathered in from the foreign born of the stock
yards district and sunk in private speculation.
The suckers, it may be said, are born much faster
than the sharks who devour them.
