Ewing is home from Washington D C where she spent the past three weeks with the family ot Assistant Postmaster General A E Stevenson Thirty-seven pages of Harper's Mag azine for February are devoted to an essay on Work of John by one of our few masters of creative criticism Dr Charles The publication of a work of the length and character of this article in a popular marine shows daring originality and at the same time appreciative edge of what a large portion of our public demand An estimate upon tha work of a man with the varied interests Boodle Law The Republican reports the field News approvingly The News Mr H W Waggoner whe assisted tho board of supervisors and their in- committee as au expert is in the city making same itemized re- ports for the use of the committee who are prosecuting the No matter what the result ot these suits it is certain that these got boodle and the trend of the court rulings is that when the supervisors allow this to be done the bondsman of the is not liable Tbe board of supervisors then take at the blame on their own shoulders The Republican desires to make the impression that the courts have held that bondsmen are not liable if the bondsmen or the boodlers can get tho Board supervisors to join them in swindling the county There ia no law nor ia there any decisions of courts that any such legal heresey It is true that Judge Smith at one time made a stump speech from the bench that squinted in the direction of a cial license of official pilfering and it waa published by a press as a decision of boodle hireling the but law is not not unmade in that way The plain provision of the tion and the statutes made there under are not eliminated from the policy of a state by the dicta of a judge when made to save a party from the and penalties of violated law That there is a tendency of judges to shield there is no doubt but such tendency does not arise from any misapprehension of what the law ia It is because there is a lack of independence and manly backbone on the bench Boodlers are party leaders and the judges are the party made instruments of their ers They are afraid to enforce the law If judges were not to be cowards every boodler who withholds public money from the treasury under the pretext af establishing seme legal question pertaining to the science of official thievery would turn into the treasury

that because all the officials o partioeps minis that there no remedy for the The same is true of mon county of Douglass county of Logan county of McLean county and we may say of the counties of the State and are all ae counties less a county boodler makes the report for county and a Sangamon clerk reports for Are we to assume that because judges are judges they are not with tbe common seme of the common people and therefore do net know what is going Certainly not It is in the the power of to ignore the law and interpose to evade the judicial duty of protecting the people and to allow tho boodlers to unwhipped of justice suggested by the Republican and it is not tho best thing to do considering that all the judges have Oaths registered in Heaven It may be a email affair to trifle with the rights of the people but it is an awful thing to tempt the Majesty of the Universe by a disregard of a official simply some press hireling suggest that it is the Death of W P Morgan Walter P
