JUDGE GARY'S EXAMPLE. While there Is talk in New York of

the "control of tbe judiciary," as if judges are owned like so many cattle, the death of Judge Gary In Chicago brings into prominence a character that has always been an example of a judge who was not owned or even controlled, except by what was rlsht.

Judge Gary was the nestor of the Cook county judiciary. His was an extraordinary, yet a simple life. The anecdotes of his court room as told by the lawyers practicing there would make a book. The judge Is the abso­lute monarch of his court room, a situ­ation that permits all the personal peculiarities to show themselves. Jus­tice was always placed above all else by Judge Gary, even to the extent of sweeping aside the technicalities' of the law if the case demanded it in or­der that justice might be done. Next to justice came courtesy and human nature. There was pleDty of room for both in Judge Gary's court room. He was the example to all lawyers in both these elements. Dignity and courtesy were joined to make of the court the orderly place that it must of necessity be, but the witticisms and originality In speech of the man on the bench added good nature to days of dry legal discussion.

It may be that years ago reflections were cast upon the integrity and doubt expressed as to this jurist being un-purchasable, the same ,as sweeping statements are now made about pub­lic servants, but all idle remarks about Judge Gary were ended when he tried the Chicago anarchists and sentenced them. There was threat upon threat made upon his life during that time, but he showed his fearlessness when duty called and tried cases with that end in view that was always first— justice.

People talk lightly about the judi­ciary, too lightly. People who. do not know make sweeping statements about the possibilities and the proba-bilites of corruption on the bench. People who read certain journals, which are more and more growing into disrepute, were likely to conclude that the whole Cook county judiciary was bought and sold like cattle. Can this be true with Judge Gary as the oldest, and the most admired, sitting as a liv­ing example of honesty, integrity and fearlessness, seeking above all else Justice? With his life and influence as a guide to the others, are they likely to say "Judge Gary was a fail­ure on the bench, we will try the other way?"

coast the same as he represents his own district. It does not occur to them that he has far easier access to truth and justice than they have, by reason of these conferences and dally investigation.

The conclusion of the secretary is that if a politician tries to earch every wind that blows his goal will be' that of demagogueism; while statesmanship demands sometimes that he run counter to some of them. It may mean retirement for a time, but he is a greater man th:m if ho had played the role of a demngogue.

DISCRIMINATING AGAINST s ~ NOIS.

ILLI-

Chicago Tribune.—Railway passen­ger rates beginning with yesterday be­came less than three cents per mile in almost the entire territory under the jurisdiction of t'he Central Passenger association. The rate has been made two cents per mile by law in New York and Ohio, and the railways have based their interstate rat^s upon the maximum legal interstate rates. In Michigan rates are by statute made proportionate to earnings, and vary from two to three cents. In Pennsyl­vania and Indiana the railways, to forestall legislation fixing a maximum rate of two cents, have voluntarily made a reduction to two and one-half cents. In all the territory of the Cen­tral Passenger association, the only state in which the three cent rate will continue to prevail is Illinois.'

This exclusion of Illinois from the benefits of the rate reductions in cen­tral territory is an unjust discrimina­tion against the people of this state. In the adjustment of passenger rates Illinois shculd be classed with the Itates to the east of it. Its passenger traffic is not quite so dense as that of Ohio and Indiana, but It is far more dense than that of Minnesota, Wiscoh-sin, Kansas, Nebraska and the other western states in which the three cent rate will continue to obtain. The fact that Illinois in railway matters stands with the populous central states to the east was recognized and main­tained during the recent mileage book controversy among the eastern lines by such high authorities on the sub­ject as the officials of the New York Central lines. They refused to confine their proposed open $20, 1,000-mile mileage book to the territory east of the Indiana-Illinois line, saying they could see no reason for thus discrim­inating against their patrons in Illi­nois. If there Is no good reason for discriminating against the people of Illinois in the sale of mileage there can be no valid excuse for discrimin­ating against them in the sale of tick­ets.

The eastern railways, by their own voluntary acts, are estopped from say­ing they do not reduce rates in Illi­nois because they cannot afford to. Not only have they all adopted a two and one-half cent fare in territory where conditions are closely similar to those in Illinois, but it is but a few days since, as already indicated, the New York Central lines proposed to place on sale in this state mileage books which would practically have reduced their rates to a two cent, basis. The public has a right to construe these cidents aa indications afforded by tl?e roads themselves that passenget* rates in this state are too high.

The real reason why the railroads have reduced fares in neighboring states without reducing them In Illi­nois is tolerably clear. In the states to the east there has been persistent, organized agitation for the passage of two cent fare laws by the state legis­latures, and the two and one-half cent rate has been thrown out there as a sop to public sentiment. In Illinois

They are lectures on political science. The secretary is talking republicanism, but he is also talking statecraft. He is talking for his party, but he is also talking for his country.

At Clarinda he gave an address which deals particularly with duties of a congressman. Of course one can go out on the street corner and find a dozen people who can tell what the duties of a congressman are. They will not agree, but that makes no dif­ference, they can tell it off hand just the same.

But when Secretary Shaw tells it it is different. He deals with the found­ation upon which the government was founded, and in words that every­body can understand he shows why it is that a representative of the peo­ple can not always afford to be sway ed by the majority of his constituents even though it may mean that he shall be retired for a time for not be­ing so -influenced. After discussing the procedure by which a man steps from a private to a public career, or moves onward and upward in a public ca­reer already begun, to be a represen­tative of the people in congress, he says:

"How should our friend vote? He represents primarily a district and secondly a whole country. It is mani­festly his duty to listen to the advice of every well-balanced, intelligent man of his district, and also to every unbalanced ignorant man in his dis­trict, if such there . be. The expres­sions of opinion from these sources are to be considered and given due weight. But how shall our friend vote? Shall he hold himself responsive to every wave of popular sentiment which may affect his immediate con­stituents, or shall he rise in his man­hood and intelligence and so speak and so vote as, In his judgment, will best conserve the interests of the! peo­ple he primarily represents by best conserving the whole country? If I analyze the situation correctly, it is his duty to act always in harmony with his party on fundamental poli­tical principles, and to dissent from the policy of a majority of his poli­tical associates only when compelled so to do by an abiding conviction. In helping to shape the course of his party he must voice his own judgment even though it runs contrary to tem­porary local sentiment."

Sometimes it is hard for members of the constituency to understand why a congressman votes as he does on certain questions. They forget what Secretary Shaw says with refer­ence to his being secondly a represen­tative of the whole country, and that he is daily in conference with meu who rexisesent states from coast to

Illinois get no reductions. The rail­roads are more likely by the policy of discrimination they have adopted to excite an unfavorable public senti ment in Illinois than to appease it in Indiana and Pennsylvania.

BLOOMFIELD.

Bloomfield, Nov. 3.—The case of Ab-nor Tharp vs. Jonathan Blott was trierl before a jury on Thursday. It was a case of a breach of oral contract for the purchase of a mule. The only com­petent witness to testify was the de­fendant, who denied the purchase and the case was taken from the Jury and the costs taxed to the plaintiff. The case of W. A. White vs, County Super­intendent H. O. Roland was argued ana the court on a motion involving the jurisdiction of the court to compel the county superintendent to certify a transcript of evidence to the state su­perintendent. On the agreement "of the county superintendent before the trial that he would make a transcript in case of an appeal and after the trial he refused to carry out the agreement to make the transcript and th,e court held that there was no statute to re­quire the county superintendent to keep a record of any evidence kept before ft or to comply with the directions of the state superintendent to make a trans­cript. The ease of John O. Clark vs. the Wabash Railroad company Is now being tried before the jury. It Is a case for double damages for the killing of stock.

ANOTHER AWFUL.. " TIME IN SIGHT

PROF. W. T. FOSTER, THE WEATH-

, ER PROPHET IS . . .

PESSIMISTIC

Says That Second Fierce Weather Dis­

turbance Is Coming—Don't Know

Exactly Where It Is Going to Light

—This Week's Bulletin,

Prof. W. T. Foster of Washington, the weather forecaster, must be ex­pecting a democratic victory at the polls next Tuesday. He Is getting to be a regular pessimist. Last week he predicted that a terrible spell of weather was due along about Novem­ber 8, and now he has one far worse than that on tap for a little later on in the month.

These last two fierce disturbances that the professor has his eagle eye on, are a little too strong for the weather fixer. He knows they are com­ing, but he can't say quite where. But he does know that wherever they light there is going to be something doing.

The Bulletin, However, you can read what he says

about it. His bulletin for this week follows:

Last bulletin gave forecases of dis­turbance to cross the continent 6 to 9, warm wave 4 to 8, cool wave 7 to 11. Next disturbance will reach Pacific

•coast about 10, cross west of Rockies country by close of 11, great central valleys 12 to 14, eastern states IB. Warm wave will cross west of Rockies about 10, great, central valleys 12, east­ern states 14. Cool wave will cross west of Rockies about 13, great cen­tral valleys 15, eastern states 17.

This disturbance will not be of great importance, particularly west of meri­dian 90. In most of its journeys across the continent it will be a rather well behaved storm. But it will be the calm before the storm, the smiling deceiver, the cover to the tiger's claws.

About November 15 this disturbance is expected to reach the eastern states and from that time onward look out for the worst. Wherever these weath­er features are November 16 you may expect extreme weather events that will inflict great discomfort

I cannot always locate each stprm feature, but indications are that on No­vember 1G a-low and warm wave will cover the Rockies and Pacific slope along mid-latitudes and the northwest., including Manitoba; that a high and cold wave will cover merldan 90, while another low and warm wave will cover the northwestern states. The above indicates the order in which the sep­arate weather features will move east­ward across the continent.

Near November 16 all the furies will break loose. Venus and Mercury, close to and coming toward the earth like mad hyenas, but armed like sea ani­mals or electric eels, will send cur­rents of electricity into the earth, largely increasing the earth's magnetic forces which in turn will upset the at­mosphere, causing notable weather events, not only in North America, but in many places all around the earth.

This impetus, however, will come as tho disturbance is passing out to sea and its principal effects will be felt in the next disturbance, which will be more particularly described in my next bulletin.

Following November 3 will come a succession of important weather events. A great high temperature wave, followed by a cold wave and in­cluding an abundance of fierce No­vember weather.

Science Notes. The scientific world is on the eve of

long range weather forecasts. Ortho­dox scientists no longer scowl at the efforts to foretell coming weather events many days in advance and the question now is: "Who can produce the best system of long range weather forecasts?" The United States weath­er bureau has been convinced that such forecasts are possible and that they are very largely in demand.

There are now on trial four sys­tems and as I thoroughly believe that my work will prove successful I will suggest: The demand for short range forecasts will continue and will be largely improved by the system of long range forecasts^thereforo the adoption of a section of long range forecasts will not necessitate any change in the present short range system of the United States weather bureau.

But a new section will be necessary in the weather bureau. I believe the congress will readily pay the addition­al expense which will not be more than five per cent of the present ex­penses of the weather bureau. In centemplation of these coming events I will suggest:

Crop weather is the most important feature of long range weather fore­casts. The country is too large for one man to cover all of it. The weath­er is a continental affair and more; it Includes the West Indies, therefore co­operative arrangements should be made with all of North America and the vast territory divided into sections, each in charge of a professor of me­teorology. This would enable the weather bureau to study the weather in relation to the various crops pro­duced in each section.

Typical storms, tornadoes, severe thanscontinental storms, including cold waves and blizzards, great floods, make up four distinct weather features with entirely distinct causes and each of these four weather features should be in charge,of a professor of meteor-

ology. The people of this continent are ready for this advance. AW'§
