STATE POLICE BILL DOOMED
TO sure Defeat IN The
ILL. STATE LEGISLATURE

d., International Labor News Service.
Springield. H., March 5.--It seems
~ be a certainty taat the present ses-
.sn of the Illinois General Assembly
s-.1 repeat the performance of three
previous sessions by again defeating
fap State constabulary bill. A count
af noses in the Senate shows 81 Sena-
,.rS opposed and II for the bill. The
hi for the same purpose that was
fatroduced in the House has been
Withdrawn.
Small Opposed to Bill
Aside from this situation in the
legislature, International Labor News
Service is able to make the positive
statement that Governor Len Small
is unequivocally opposed to such a
measure and vii veto it if it ever
reaches him.
4 representative of certain power
fal political and financial interests in
Chicago recently visited Governor
Snail and threatened him with poll
teal extinction if he did not come
through and favor the establishment
If a State constabulary in Illinois.
When the Governor refused acquies-
eence in the demand. it was related
on good authority, the emissary said
= the Governor.
You do not want word to go out
that you will veto this bill, do you ?"
We'll, | haven't told you to keep
il a secret" Governor Small replied.
Friends of Bill Beaten
Members of the Legislature are not
unmindful of the fact tha. organized
labor was able to defeit SIX Senator'S
who voted for a State constabulary
during he 1923 session, and that six
men favorable TO labor's program are
occupying the seats of the six de-
feated solons.
Just as forecast by International
Labor News Service a month before
the Illinois Legislature convened, the
State constabulary bill has proved
to be the pet measure Of the manu-.
featuring and fin cial interests OF
the State. A yer. flood of money
has been cut To- popularize the
measure thorugh Jle country press
and by other propaganda means.
\ man who has been intimately ac-
Quainted with legislative doinps at
Springfield for many years made the
as nding statement that the big in
te. had spent at leas $50 900 900
to ~ such a bill across in Illinois in
tbe as. seven or eight years.
1t is the biggest gait measure ever
introduced in the Illinois Legislature" !"
he said. "A big bunch of fellows have
made fat living off of it for years,

Tor the moment, was known to the
male eyes Of Dallas as an unsolved
riddle. The other fact was that she
was the half-sister of the mother of
Jim Hennepin of Virginia.
| Jim Hennepin, who liked to attach
to his name the words "of Virginia"
was the last of line which had been
brought to American soil by a refugee
Huguenot connected distantly with the
great explorer Of the headwaters of the
Mississippi. There are those who re-
member him in his escapades in Dan
Vile, and felt relief when his father,
who had himself dissipated the small
remainder of the Hennepin wealth
and tobacco lands in futile specula-
lions through Washington broker,
said to Jim, You can go down to your
mothers sister in Texas She will put
you up and | have job all ready for
you with cotton buying and commits
sion house in Dallas. There Is moth
ing left in my own pockets. The only
genius you have is for getting into
trouble; your only talent is for figures.
AS time goes on the accountant Is play
Ing an ever-growing part in American
business, just as the drunkard Is play
ing lesser part. Do you get my mean
! ing, son."
This accounted for the presence Of
Jim Hennepin in Texas. He had been
| there two years. Compton Parmalee
& Co. had found nothing to criticize in
his bookkeeping. In fact, 1t had quail
| ties of genius which sometimes make
bookkeeping not only cold record, but
vitalized inspiration of business.
Hennepin was useful addition to
| Compton Parmalee's small staff He
drank at the club, but with modera-
ton considering his resistance to the
| effect Of alcohol. He was a popular
young man In Dallas, and the fact that
so many men in that Texas city have
now forgotten that they ever heard of
| this youth is only commentary upon
the truth that the impressions most of
us make are not even fine scratches
when times roller has passed once or
twice over mems memory and today
| IldS UeCOHlo SO UuCn more important
than yesterday and that which is In
sight covers that which is gone like
new strata in geological period
1t would be untrue to deny that Jim
Hennepin was an attractive figure. If
he had craft and viciousness, as some
have said he had, 1t was belled by
the Hennepin smile-an inviting smile,
| invoking the cheer Of the moment like
smile of boy. Furthermore, he was
tall and graceful, like an oarsman In
an English college eight. He was more
| like the bad son of an earl than
| bookkeeper, and persons often in
quired who he was, especially before
| they had heard him speak in his care
| free modern American slang figures,
and were surprised to find that he was
| older than he looked, had fought his
! education for several wasted years at
| the University of Virginia and was
earning forty-three dollars week and
spending fifty-nine when he was over
thirty.
