So It was with this Chicago man Clarence Darrow, a lawyer who baa n bit of a reputation for plain speaking.

Astounding revelation of the misconduct of the police force of Chicago continue to amaze the public. It was generally suspected that the department, through some of Its commanding officers. Is a patron' of the criminal classes, shielding them from prosecution In return for money or political assistance. This was a dignified and honorable business compared with the position In which the most recent charges "have placed the department. It figures now not as the protector, but the tool of criminals. Th accusation 1 made by one of the soc'etles for the prevention of crime that when a communiral d of poolroo m owner cated with police captains and sergeants over the police telephone, which had been kindly placed at the disposal of the runners, and the captains and sergeants forthwith sent out men from the stations to warn the criminals. This is Id some respects the worst charge that bas been made against the department Not only does It connive at crime, but it devotes its energies to a systematic defeat of the processes of the court It la apparent from the manner of the men under suspicion that they are in no terror of punishment, and will be In none until the sustaining political power PATRICK OCONNOR. behind which would compel tha worlds history more in the way them to them, Tice and crime even protect acof energetic mental and physical tion than any equal area of the earth's surface. It ia an excellent thing to Athletic encourage this association. Not Irishmen alone, but 11 that are interested In the development of the human race, should watch the records' and the relative achievement of thl association compared with others. There Is something extraordinary in a race persistently persecuted, inhabiting a small and not too fertile Island, subject to centuries of butchery and misrule, which produces such men as Wellington, Wolfe, Fox, Burke, 8wift, Parnell and Patrick Henry.

The state statlstican of Indians has done an Important service of sociology by compiling the statistics of marriages and divorces throughout the entire state. If the same work could be done, and done as .thoroughly, in every other state a more exhaustive study of the divorce question would be possible, and the needs of uniform legislation would be more apparent. The reports of the statistician show that during the year ending June 80, 1901, the total number of. marriages In the state was 24,007, and the total number of divorces granted was 8,009, or about 13 per cent Undoubtedly some of these divorces have been granted, but t is extremely doubtful whether such a large percentage of marriages as 'this should have been annulled.- - Other statistics are also of interest - The divorces granted to wIves were l,SG7rto husbands' 65;'andr this la about the proportions In other states. It does not follow from this that women are more prone to rush into the divorce courts than men. The causes explaiq the numerical difference. Of the total (1,967) divorces granted to wives 792 were for abando-me- nt by husbands and 901 for cruel treatment by them. These are sufficient causes and explain the apparently large proportion, of wives seeking divorce.
