Station Master Forsyth administered the tongue-lashing, and warned the supposed hack driver that If he did not know more than to let hie horses stand In a flower bed he ought to have a guardian appointed. Senator Dolllver replied, without vis ible agitation, that the point seemed to be veil taken and that he would be more careful In the future.

Last was conducted Knoxville, lokout moun-i for decisions which they could not avoid making If they obeyed the law. A Shot at Roosevolt. The recent spectacle of the nation's chief executive, himself not a lawyer, criticising In a public document a fed eral Judge for his decision on a point of law has riot,-I believe, commended, itself to our profession. The laws are our laws. Public opin ion made them and can change them. Every cltlxen has a right to criticise them and seek their amendment or re peal, but while they are our law's we want our Judges to obey them and not substitute for them eomethlng they deem In accord with a thing so unsta ble and so difficult to ascertain as pub lic opinion. The soundness of a judge's legal Judgment and the wisdom of a partic ular law may well be called In question, but an honest decision should not ex- poee the judge hlmeelt to critlclem. ' The thousand and one complex forces which go to create and modify public opinion; the press, the magaslnes, tflb lecture platform, the stump, the clubs, labor unions, conversations, gossip and so on, form a fascinating and Inex haustible field for discussion and re flection. Like most potent social forces It Is simple and complex at the same time. The difficulty In Its discussion Is not so much In-making a qualitative anal ysis of the forces entering Into it, and of which It le the resultant, as In de- terihlnlng the relative quantitative value of each.. The quantative value of each force going to form public opinion will be es timated differently In accordance with the education, ability, Interests and mo ruuuuiuii, uuiiiii, imeresiB unu prejudices of Individuals. But It Is be cause so many and .such different forces co-operate In Its formation, that everyone can have an Influence upon It and when once we recognise Its prac tical omnipotence, every right-minded man should feel a sense of obligation and duty toward It. There are few waye In which the av erage vnan can so well serve, In hie time, hie country, as by the Influence he can exert on public opinion. The Lawyer's Part. If the power of public opinion be so great, and If each of us has a not In considerable capacity to influence It, It seema almost needless, because so ob vious, to point out how of all classes of men the lawyer especially can Influence It and is under duty to do eo. Public opinion so far aa It deals with public questions seeks ever to embody its will In statute*. We regret their Thorie Bell 4927, Main. WE TAKE YOUR WANT ADS. 1 RETURN TO FATHER! COMING!

And when the law has been passed and the results are little or nothing, nnd not Infre quently tho Incidental evils an greater thnn the good sought to be accomplish ed, the public Is educated Into a con tempt anil distrust of laws and courts that Is not wholesome, and which makes for the growth of an extreme democracy—a democracy without self- control through constitutions and laws the two Imye roafeeeed.

The feeling of professional pride, and of responsibility to the profession, enn do much to check evil practices In the law and much also to Increase our pub lic usefulness. .

The bartender, to whom they had tipped the wink had the cellar door open way by a secret entrance to a reeort next door. From the roof of this there woe access to three similar places beyond. By means of these pas sages the customers of any one place could be gotten out of the way In cose a falling out with the police chanced to lead to a raid. For his help In this little Job the bar tender received twenty out of the one hundred and thirty-odd dollars that the pair eecured; and, naturally, thle put them on friendly terms with him, and a few days later he Introduced them to a little "sheeny'' npmed Gotdberger, one nt thm "ptinnflpfl" nt th* M «nnrtlnir of the "runners" of the “sporting house” where they had been hidden.

The fellow was a stranger In Chicago, and If he was found eome night with hie head cracked there would be no one to care very much. Jurgla, who by this time would cheerfully have cracked the heads of all the gamblers In Chicago, Inquired what would be coming to him, at which the Jew became still more confidential, and said that he had some tips on the New Orleans races, which he got direct from the police captain of the district, whom he had got out of a bad scrape, and who "stood In" with a big syndi cate of horse owner*. Duane took all this In at once, but Jurgls had to have the whole race track situation explain ed to him before he realised the im portance of auch an opportunity. There waa the gigantic racing trust. It owned the legislatures In every state In which It dTd buaineea; It even owned some of the big newspapers, and made public opinion—there was no power In the land that could oppose It unless, perhaps. It were the poolroom trust It built magnificent racing parka all over the country, and by means of enormous purses It lured the people to come, and then It organised a gigantic shell game, whereby It plundered them of hundreds of millions of dollars ev ery year. Horae racing had once been a sport, "tout nowadays It was a busi ness; a horse could be "doped . and doctored, undertrained or overtrained; It could be made to fall at any moment —or Its gait could be broken by lash ing U with the whip, which all the spectators would take to be a draper^ .r A- la I— tl.A lae.1 - 'Niori ate effort to keep It In the lead." There were scores of such tricks, and some times It wae the owners who played them and made fortunes, sometime* It waa outsider*, who bribed them-flrot most of the time It waa the chiefs of the trust. Now, for Instance, they were having winter racing In New Orleans, and a syndicate was laying out each day’s program In advance, and IM agents In all the Northern cities were "milking' the pool rooms. The word came by long distance telephone In a cipher code. Just a little while before each ra», and any man who could get the secret had as good aa a fortune. If Jurgla did not believe It, he could try It. sale the little Jew—let them meet at a cer tain house on the morrow and maKe a teat.

For a secret like ‘hft they would have done a good many slugging*—but the next day Goldberger Informed them that the offending gambler had got wind of what was coming to him, and had skipped the town. There were ups and down* at the bualne**, but there waa always a liv ing Inside of a Jail If not put of It. Eariy in April the city elections wen; due, and that meant prpapertty for all the cower* of graft. Jurats, hanging round” In dlvee and gambling house*, met with the heeler* of both parties, Kd from their conversation he came ‘“ understand aU the Ina and outs of and to hear of a number of waye^n wh“ch he could make himself Halloran wae a "Democrat, and ao Jurgls became a Democrat ata«h but he have a pile of money In this next cam palgn. At the lest election the Repub licans had paid *4 a vote to the Demo crats' *t; and "Buck" Halloran sat one night playing cards with Jurgls and an other man, who told how Halloran had been charged with the job of voting a "bunch" of thirty-seven newly landed Italians, and how he, the narrator, had met the Republican worker who waa after the very same gang, and how the three had effected a bargain, whereby the Italians were to vote half and half, for a glass of beer apiece, while the balance of the fund went to the con' eplrators! Not long after this Jurgls, wearying of the riaka and vicissitudes of miscel laneous crime, was moved to give up the career for that of a politician. Just at his time there was a tremendous uproar being raised concerning the at Dance between the criminals and the police. For the criminal graft was one In which the buelneee men had no di rect part—It was what Is called a "side-line'' carried by the police. ."Wide-open" gambling nnd debauch ery made the city pleasing to "trade," but burglaries and hold-ups did not. One night It chanced that while Jack Duane was drilling a safe In a cloth ing (tore he wae caught red-handed by the night watchman, nnd turned over to a policeman who chanced to know him well, and who took the re sponsibility of letting him make his escape. Such a howl from the news papers followed this Jhat Duane was slated for a sacrifice, and barely got out of town In time. And Just at this Juncture It happened that Jurgla was Introduced to a man named Harper, whom he recognised as the night watchman at Brown'*, who had been Instrumental In making him an American citizen the first year of his arrival at the yards. The other wae Interested In the coincidence, but did not remember Jurgls—he hod handled too many "green ones" In hi* time, he said. He eat In a dance hall with Jurgle and Halloran until one or two In the morning, exchanging expe riences. He had a long etbry to tell of his quarrel with the superintendent of hla dejhrtment, and how he was now a plain workingman, and a good union man ae well. It waa not until some months afterwards that Jurgls under' stood that the quarrel with the super' Intendent had been prearranged, and that Harper was In reality drawing a salary of $20 a week from the packers for an Inside report of his union's se cret proceedings. The yards were seething with agitation Just then, said the men, speaking as a unionist. The people of Packlngtown hod borne about alt that they would bear, and It looked a* If a strike might begin any week. After thla talk the man made In quiries concerning Jurgfe, and a couple of days later he came to him with an Interesting proposition. He waa not absolutely certain, he said, but he thought that he could get him a regu lar salary If he would come to Pack tngtown ano do aa he waa told, and keep hla mouth shut. Harper—“Buah" Harper, he wae called—wo* a right- hand man of Mike Scully, the Demo cratic boss of the stockyards, and In the coming election there wee a pecu liar. situation. There had come to Scully a proposition to nominate a cer tain rich, braver who lived upon ■ swell boulevard that Skirted the dle> trict, and who coveted the btg badge and the •"honorable" of an alderman. The brewer was a Jew, and had not brain*, but he was harmless, and would put up a rare campaign fund. Scully had accepted the offer and then gone to the Republicans with a proposition. He was not sure that he could manage the “eheeny,” end he did not mean to take any chances with hir district; let the Republicans nominate a certain obscure but amiable friend of Scully's, who was now setting up ten-pine In the cellar of an Ashland avenue sa loon, and he (Scully) would elect him with the "sheeny's” money, and the Republicans might have the glory, which was more than they would get otherwise. In return for this the Republican* would agree to put up no candidate the following year, when Scully himself came up for re-election as the other alderman from the ward. To this the Republicans had assented at once, but the trouble of It was—so Harper ex plained—that the Republicans were all of them fool*—a man had to be a fool to be a Republican In the stock yerda, where Scully waa king. And they didn’t know how to work, and of course It would not do for the Democratic workers, tht noble redskins of the War Whoop League, to support the Repub licans openly. The difficulty would not have been so great except for another opment In stock yards politics In the last year or two, a new party having leaped Into being. They were the So cialist*, and It waa a devil of a mess, said "Bueh” Harper. , The one Image which the word "So- clallst" brought to Jurgls was of poor little Tamoszlue Kuzzlelka, who had called hlmeelt one, and would go out with a couple of other men and a soap box, and ehout himself hoarse on a street corner Saturday nights. Tamos- zlus had tried to explain to Jurgts what It was nil about, but Jurgls, who was not of an Imaginative turn, hod never quite got It straight; at present he was content with hla companion's explanation that tho Soclallita were the enemies of American Institutions— could not be bought, nnd would not combine or make any sort of a "dicker." Mike Scully wa* very much worried over the opportunity which his last deal gaveto them—the stock yards Demo crats were furious at the Idea of a rich capitalist for their candidate, and while they were changing they might possi bly conclude that a Socialist firebrand were preferable to a Republican bum. And so right here was a chance for Jurgle to make himself a place In the world, explained "Bush” Harper; he had been a union man, and ha waa known In tha yards ae a workingman; he must have hundreds of acquaint ances, and as he had never talked poli tics with them he might come out aa a Republican now without axclttng the least suspicion. There were barrels of money for the uee of those who could deliver the gooda; and Jurgls might oount upon Mike Scully, who had never yet gone back on a friend. Just what could he man—not my own boss, sir—and struck him." "I see," said the other, and medi tated for a few moments. "What do you wl»h to do?" he asked. "Anything, *fr," said Jurgls—"only I had a broken arm thle winter, and so I have to be careful." "How would It suit you to be a night watchman?" "That wouldn't do, sir. I have to be among the men at night.” "I see—politics. Well, would It suit you to trim hogs?" "Yes, sir,” said Jurgls. And Mr. Harmon called a time keeper and aald: "Take this man to Pat Murphy nnd tell him to find room do? Jurgls asked, In some perplexity, " In detail. To and the other explained begin with, he would have to go to the yards and work, and he mlghtng relish that; but he would have what he earned, ae well aa the rest that came to him. lie would get active In the union again, and perhaps try to get an offlee, aa he, Harper, had; ha would tell nil his friends th* good points of. Doyle, the Republican nominee, and the bad ones of the "eheeny;" nnd then Scully would furnish a meeting place, and he would start the "Young Men’s Republican Association,” or something of that sort, and have th* rich brewer’s beat beer by th* hogshead, and fire works and spaeches. Just like Ihe War- Whoop League. Surely Jurgls must know hundreds of men who would like that sort of fun; and there would be the regular Republican leaders and workers to help him out, and they would deliver a big enough majority on election day. When he had heard all thla explana tion to th* end Jurgls demanded: "But how can I get s Job In Packlngtown? I’m blacklisted." At which "Bueh” Harper laughed. "I'll attend to that all right," he said. And the other replied, "It'a a go, then; I'm your man." 8a Jurgls went out to the stock- yards again, and was Introduced to the political lord of the district, the boss of Chicago’s mayor. It was Scully who owned the brickyards and the dump and the Ire pond—though Jurgls did not know It, It waa Scully who was to blame for tha unpaved street In which Jurgla' child had been drowned; It waa Scully who had put Into offlee the magistrate who had drat sent Jur gts to Jail; It was Scully who waa principal stockholder In the company which had sold him th* ramshackle tenement and then robbed him of It. But Jurgls knew non* of these things —any more than he knew that Scully was but a tool and puppat of th* pack er*. To him Scully wa* a mighty power, the ."biggest" man h* had ever met. He was a little, dried-up Irishman, whose hands shook. He had a brief talk with hla visitor, watching him with hM rat-llke eyes, and making up his mind about him; and then he gave him a note to Mr. Harmon, on* of the head managers of Durham*: "The bearer, Jurgts Rudkua. Is a K rtlcular friend of mine, and I would e you to find him a good place, for Important reason*. He ws* once Indis creet, but you will perhaps be so good not* bitter one-the Republican* were “good fellow*, too, and were to fact—there had been a curious devcl- to overlook that.' Mr. Hannon looked up Inquiringly when he read this. "What does he mean by 'Indiscreet7*" he asked. eev Kl.cLrllafAjt air ” Ulfl “I waa blacklisted, sir,” said Jurgls. At which the other frowned. "Black listed r* he said. “How do you mean?" And Jurgls turned red with embar rassment. II* had forgotten that a blacklist did not exist. "I—that fa—I had difficulty In getting a place," he stammered. "What was the matter?" "I got Into a quarrel with a fore- for him somehow. And so Jurgls marched Into the hng- kllllng room, a place where, In the days J one by, he had come begging for a ob. Now he walked jauntily, and smiled to himself, seeing the frown that came to the boss' face as the time keeper said: "Mr. Harmon say* to put this man on.” It would overcrowd his department and spoil the record he was trying to make—but ho said not a word except "All right." And so Jurgls became a workingman once more; and straightway he sought out hla old friends, and Joined The union, and began to "root” (or "Scotty Doyle. Doyle had done him a good turn once, he explained, and wa* really a bully chap; Doyls wa* a workingman himself, and would represent tho work ingmen—why did they want to voto for, a millionaire "iheony,” and what had Mike Scully ever done for them that the prealnet gave him a hundred dol lars, and three times In the course of the day he cams for another hundred, and not more than twenty-five out of each lot got stuck In his own pocket. The balance all went for actual votei, and on a day of Democratic landslides they elected "Scotty" Doyle, the ex- (enpln setter, by nearly a thousand plu rality—and beginning at 6 o'clock In the afternoon and ending at t the next" morning Jurgls treated himself to a moat holy and horrible "jag." Nearly every on* els* In Packlngtown did the same, however. Mike Scully ever done for them that they should back his candidates all the time? And meantime Scully had given Jurats a not* to the Republican leader of the ward, and he had gone there and met the crowd he was to work with. Already they had hired a big hall, with some of the brewer's money, snd every night Jurgls brought In a dozen new members of the "Doyle Republican As sociation." Pretty sqpn they had a grand open Ing night, and there was a brass band, which marched through th# streets, snd fireworks and bomba and red lights In ffont of th* hall; and there was an enormous crowd, with two bverflow meetings—so that th* pale and trem bling candidate had to recite three times over the little speech which one of Scully's hsnchmsn had written, and Which he had been a month learning by heart. Best of all, the famous and eloquent Senator Spareahanks, presi dential candidate, rod* out In an anto- mobile to discuss ths sacred privileges of American citizenship, and protection and prosperity for th* American work ingman. His Inspiriting address was quoted to the extent of halt a column In all tha morning newspapers, which also said that It could be stated upon excellent authority that the unexpected popularity developed by Doyle, the Re publican candidate for alderman, was giving greet anxiety to Mr. Scully, tha chairman of th* Democratic city eonr mlttee. The chairman was still more worried when the monster torchlight procession cam* off, with the members of the Doyle Republican Association, all In red cape* and hats, and free beer for every voter In tha ward—th# beet beer ever given away In a political com- K lgn, as the whole electorate testified, irlng thla parade, and at Innumerable cart-tall meeting* as well, Jurgls labor ed tirelessly. He did not make any speeches—there were lawyers snd other experts for that—but he helped to man age things; distributing notices and posting placards am) bringing out the crowds; and when the show waa on he attended to th* fireworks and the beer. Thus, In th« course of the campaign, he handled many hundreds of dollars of the Hebrew brewer’s money, adminis tering It with naive and touching fidel ity. Toward th# end, however, he was regarded with hatred by the rest of the "boys,” because he compelled them either to make a poorer showing than he or to do without their share of the pie. After that Jurgls did his best to please them, and to make up for the time he had lost before he discov ered the extra bungholes of tho cam paign barrel. - He pleased Mike Scully also. On election morning he was out at ' 4 o'clock, "getting out th* vote;’* he had a two-horse carriage to ride In, and he went from house to house for hla friends and escorted them in triumph to the polls. He voted half a dozen times himself, snd voted some of his friends as often; he brought bunch af ter bunch of th* neweet foreigners— Lithuanians, Poles, Bohemians, Slovaks —and when he had put them through the mill he turned them over to an other man to take to the next polling place. When Jurgls first set out tb* captain of CHAPTER XXyi. After tha electlona Jurgla stayed on In Packlngtown and kept hi* Job. The agitation to break up the police pro tection of criminals was continuing, and It seemed to him best to "lay low 11 for the present lie had nearly three hundred dollars In the bank, and might have considered himself entitled to a vacation; hut he had an easy Job, and force of hnblt kept him at It. Braid**, Mike Scully, whom he consulted, ad vised hint that something might 'Turn up" before long. Jurgls got himself a place In a board Ing house with eqm* congenial friends He learned that Elsbleta and her fam ily hod gone downtown, and so hs gave no further thought to them. He went with a new set, now, young unmarried fellows, who were "sporty.” Jurglf had long ago cast off Ills fertilizer clothing, and since going Into politics he had donned a linen collar and i greasy red necktie. He had eom* re*, son for thinking of his dress, for ha was making about eleven dollars a week and two-thirds of It he might spend upon hla pleasures without ever touching hie savings. Bonjetlmee hs would ride downtown with a party of friends to the cheap theaters nnd the muala halls and other haunts with which they ware familiar.

So the. mert boiled over, and one night telegrams went out from the union headquarter* to all th* big pack ing canters, to St. Paul, South Umsb.i. Hloux City, Ht.

Scully had gone Into seml-retiremrnt, nnd looked nervou* anil worried. "What do you want?" he demanded, when he saw Jurgls. "I came to see If maybe you could get me a place during the strike,” the other replied. And Scully knit his brows and eyed him narrowly. In that morning's pan per* Jurgls had read a fierce denuncia tion of the packers by Scully, who lind declared that If they did not treat their people better th# city authorities would end the matter by tearing down their plant#. Now, therefore, Jurgls was not a little taken aback when the other de manded suddenly, "See, here, Rudkus, why don't you stick by your Job?" Jurgls started. ‘Work os a scab!" ho cried. "Why not?” demanded "XVl.ot-a What’s that to youf (Continued In Tomorrow'* Or Hrully. ■rglan.)

Before long Jurgls discovered what Scully hsd meant by something "turn' Scully had meant by something "turn ing up." In May the agreement between the packers and ttie unions expired, and a new agreement had to be signed. Ne gotiation* were going on, and th* yards were full of talk of a strike. Th# old scale had dealt with th* wages of the skilled men only; and of the members of th# Meat Workers' Union about two- thirds were unskilled men. In Chicago these latter were receiving, for the most part, 111-2 cents an hour, and the unions wished to make this the general wage for the next year. It was not nearly so large • wage as It seem ed—in the course of the negotiations the union officer* examined time checks to the amount of 110,000, and they found that the highest wages paid had been 114 a week, the lowest 12.05, and th* average of the whole $0.05. And $0.55 was hardly too much for a man to keep a family on Considering the fact that the price of drased meat had Increased nearly 50 per cent In th* last five years, while he price of "beef on the hoof” had decreased as much, It would have seem ed that tb* packers ought to be able to pay It; but the packer* were un willing to pay It—they rejected the union demand, and, to show what their purpose was, a week or two after the agreement expired they put down th* rages of about a thousand mOn to -11*2 cents, and It was said that old man Jones hsd vowed h* would put them to 15 before he got through. There were e million and a half of men' In th* country looking for work, e hundred thousand of them right In Chicago; and were the packers to let the union stewards march Into their places and bind them to a con tract that would lose them several thousand dollar* a day for a year? Not much! All this was In June; and before long the question was submitted to a refer endum In the union#, and the decision was for a strike. It was tb* same In alt the packinghouse cities; and sud denly the newspapers snd public woke up to face the greweome spectacle of meat famine. AI1 sorts of pleas for
