Mr. Bailey made a great
speech on the Lorimerease. All]
his friends say so. It was a
great effort, but it was on the
Loiimer case. It was the great-

the prosecution or defense, but
it was on the defense in Lorimer

Neither. It is a government of

Colonel William R. Nelson,

thinks their unrestrained propen-
sity to thus monopolize the
responsibilities of government
and the incidental benefits there-
of accruing to themselves is hot
wholly conducive to the public
welfare. -
As an example of Lis reasoning
along this line note the following
from the editoaial columns of a
a recent issue of the Times:
The supreme court of Missouri has
finally awarded a sum of money to a
victim of a railroad accident.' That
is to say, the court decides that the
man is entitled to so much money.
The incident induces the inquiring'
position, they doubtless have a
reason./1

In these days of over-worked
imaginations on the theory of

Emperor Charles V. of Austria, by
far the most powerful ruler of Ms day,
was thus described as he appeared at

the English ambassador, in 1550: “I
