A decislon of the supreme gourt of the state of Illinols has declared the parole law of that state invalfd dnd it i said that in additiod/to a largé nuim- ber of convicts being returned to prison untili their paroles can be'sanc- tloned or repudiated by the governof many more, already behind the bars, will' have to be taken back: to: their trial courts to be résentenced under the old law. The work of the board for the last eleven years will have to be goné over again and ratified; by the proper authorities. Yet, according to the old law the board, althotugh shorn of* its power, can still make recommenda- tions to the governor and assist him in handling the situation. It is unfortunate that the unconsti- | tutionality of this law should be. g | #low in coming to light. - Bleven years is a long time for an invalid Jaw to be in force, especially when it affects mat- ters ot so vital fmportance. In ton- nection with this fact a number of othe; states have parofe laws on their statute books, some of them partaking of the features of the Illinois law, aud they, too, may be subject to attack. 1f this decision s to cause a whole- sale unloading of the prisons and a re- manding to prison of hundreds of others, without relief, a terrible condi- tion will ensue in Illinofs. Tt all rests with the governor and tHe trial courts. and the chances are that they will solve the whole difficulty by reaffirta- ing the work already done by the pa- role board. It would seem that the constitution- ality of a law ought to be determined more immediately on Iis passage It this were done endless trouble would be avolded, much legal effort would be unnecessary and justice would not be the elusive creature it 18 at present. d.aw is to secure ihie greatest. degroo of justice possible in the shortest time possible and also to Insure the most complete proteetion to the citizens of the state aud nation, No stronger ob- ject lesson of the evils of the law's de. lays agaiust whicn President ‘Taft de- claims could be presented If Not, Why Not?

That these Americans would joln the liberal | party 18 as sure as it is that they draw breath. It is also true that these ‘“‘new Canadiatis” will be wont to join them- selves to the Laurler progressive party and incline the government more to- ward autonomy and indepéndence. But there is no evidence that this is a concerted plan, nor is it true that the love of"the country of their birth will| do more than increase the friendly rela- tlons between Canada and fhe United | States. There s room for closer | friendship between England, Canada and the United States, but no one need at this time fear our gobbling up that great country. ' Congressman Hitcheoek's newspaper | divulges the open secret that a minor- ity report is to be made on the charges of extrayagance in the land office, pre- ferred by our democratic congressman, irrespective of the utter failure of evi- dence to support the charges, and that this minority report will be signed by tie demoerats of the {itvestigating committee.

FRANKING P Indiana Congressman Furnishes Spectmen Instance. Lesile's Weekly. Sixty-one mail sacks full of seeds were received from Washingtbn at the Indlan- apolis postoffice recently.

The sacks contained thousands of packages of garden séeds, Which the secrétary will address ovér again to the constituent of the congressmariy and they will once more go through the mals, All this is free of postage under the frank- ing privilege which congressmen enjoy. In view of the recent remarks concerning the postal deficit and the unwarranted state- ment that this was to be charged to the low rate given to the publishers of fiews- papers and magazines, the siatement of the asslstant postmaster general at Indian- apolls is interesting. He sald, “Such a shipment as this should be made by freight, but eon; mien always use theéir postof- fice frank, and their shipthents come by fast trains which are pald blg prices by, the government for running fast and trans- porting mails in a hurry.” The fecom- mendation of President Taft for & sweep- ing increase In the rate on second-class Including newspapers and maga- sines, was not only untimely, but incon- siderate, and M our judgment was wholly due 0 unfounded statements made to him by subordinates of the Postal de- partment, Who Spokeé with authority, but without thorough knowledge of the facts, Our Birthday Book Pebruary 18, 1910, Lawrence O.
