Thts apparent lukewarmness in the office of the prosecuting at to when a pubiic service is demanded of him, ts most unfortu- nate, It will but add to the growing tmpression that Mr. Mackintosh is not developing up to the size of hia present job. The fuct that he fs a somewhat popular yaung man does not make him a good prosecutor, by any means. It has been his mis- fortune that he has been praised to the skies in bombastic edt torials, effusively eulogistic and ridiculous, while whole page plo tures of the “boy prodigy” have been printed, in the effort to create the tmpreaston that he {s a wonderful man This would perhaps be excusable, even though In shockingly bad taste, tf Mr. Mackintosh was making good in a truly remarkable manner. But this he bas not been doing. Although he has been paraded in a silly fashion as a really greater man than Folk, or even Jerome, he has so far fallen about one thousand miles below efther ta actual performances. Nobody ever thinks of Meckintos’ in the light of an aggressive Prosecutor, seeking to put boodiers in the penitentiary. The young man can well afford to stop gazing at the wonderful page pictures of himself, and get down to business. It ts not yet too late for one who really postesses some good qualities to set himself right But Mr. Mackintosh will never succeed unless he turns right about face, ignores the Influences which now control him, and be gins to mark time with the people. The Three Boxes of Citizenship Tt takes a bold man to defy even one woman. Bold indeed ts he who openiy defies a million of them ‘That ix what Charles R. Saunders, of Boston, has done. Ta speaking against a proposed amendment to the Massachusetts eoa- stitution striking the word “male” from the qualifications of voters, he said: “American freedom depends on the ballot box, the jury box and the cartridge box. Woman suffragists ask complete use of the Ballot box, little or no use of the jury bor, and entire exemption from use of the cartridge box, on which both the others depend for existence.” The milifon women of Massachusetts, more than a fourth of whom are spinsters, have views of thelr own. They have buried the bold Saunders tm an avalanche of retorts to the effect that the men do not make complete use of the ballot box; that they dodge jury duty, and that they sometimes hire substitutes when the eartridge boxes are distributed Co eeninnansanetnaiinineee asenemaieseted Saowtetcos or a STAR DUST By “JOSH” “Don’t say amy more,” groaned we scorched our clothing, and we the poor man who was listening to; had only candles with which to 1) his wife's list of things wanted. |luminate the house.” “You talk lke President Jim Hit) _-— telling what the railroads need.” | A St. Joseph, Mo, “a Chicago man has written a se | his head 20 minutes and died.
