THE UNWRITTEN LAW.
Tho unwritten law triumphed In a Chicago court yesterday when a Jury of twelve of the peers of Amasa C. Campbell, who killed Dr. Benjamin F. Harris because ho believed Harris had wrecked his home, adjudged him guilty of manslaughter and in a letter signed by all, recommended that the minimum sentence of one year's Imprisonment be the penalty for the crime. Precisely the same issues wore raised as In the Thaw case and should the Jury that is finally to decide the Thaw case tako tho same view of tho matter as did tho Campbell Jury, Thaw will get off lightly. The action of the Campbell Jury raises some serious questions regarding Just what should be the procedure In such cases. There is no doubt that the Campbell Jury did the right thing In first determining the guilt of the prisoner and tITen as they say, "in consideration of the mitigating circumstances connected with sold case" advising that he be given the minimum penalty. This course of action at least shows a regard for the law and Is certainly to have a better moral effect upon the community at large than a verdict of not guilty. But Campbell Is a murderer. The Jury's verdict leaves no question as to that. He shot and killed in cold blood a man who he believed had Invaded and broken up his home. The dead was premeditated. The penalty for premeditated murder Is death. Tho mitigating circumstances, the unwritten law In other words, Is all that has saved Campbell from the hangman's noose. Therefore the Issue Is "the unwritten law." The peculiar recommendation of the Campbell Jury raises tho question. Should "mitigating circumstances" be taken Into consideration In eases of premeditated murder as a reason for the exercise of clemency? In answering tho question, a parallel case might bo cited where manslaughter In self defense Is recognized by law as the right of the Individual. Therefore when a man who Is deprived of his peace of mind, when his family Is broken up by some moral leper, when he has lost everything In this life worth living for, kills, It would not ba hard to convince an ordinary Jury that he killed in self defense. , , ,
But if that Jury takes It upon Itself to vote such a man not guiliy It is establishing a dangerous precedent. If it becomes a general thing for Juries tb
acquit men upon the plea of the "unwritten law," lawyers for the defense are
likely to abuse the privlledge and it will become customary for the unscrupulous
class of practitioners to make every murder where Jealousy or real or imaginary wrongs are the cause, an opportunity for the application of the unwritten law.
It 13 here where the danger lies. It is not the uso, but the abuse of the
"unwritten law" in which lies the menace. A CURE FOR MUNICIPAL ILLS.
The people of Chicago and the public generally have been shocked and amazed at the condition of Incompetency disclosed by the recent investigation of the office of the Sheriff of Cook county. The occurrences are too recent to require a detailed recital, but the conclusion is inevitable that the affairs In the Sheriff's office and at the county Jail are In a most deplorable condition
This it seems is only a continuance of an era of graft and dishonesty in Cook county. There are now serving in the penitentiary at Jollet two ex-officials of Cook county for dishonesty, graft and defalcation and another awaiting sentence after conviction. Following upon these disclosures is the report that there has been favoritism, dishonesty and graft in the letting of public con
tracts In almost every department in the City of Chicago. It would seem that such disclosure and such conduct would sweep Into oblivion any party during whose administration such dishonesty obtained, and certainly is this true in smaller communities of the states of the west. The people as a whole have little respect for dishonest officials and untrammelled by party nctlons are swift to rebuke wrong. The people of Cook county have yet to learn their strength. It
seems that any demonstration appealing to party fealty and a false idea of
party patriotism is all that is necessary for support, though they flaunt crime and incompetency in the eyes of the public, yet claim their support at the polls. The greatest evil of Chicago today is the prevalence of the idea that party politics must be carried into local affairs. If the voters of Chicago disgusted and disheartened with the careers of its officers would throw off the party shackles and regardless of political affiliations select competent candidates for office and make it their business to elect them, the day of graft in Chicago would be over, and until the voters of Chicago turn their backs upon the old party fetich, and demonstrate that they are stronger than any party organiza
tion, will the condition of affairs continue.
5 Chicago needs a good political revival. The throwing off of old party ties. The denial of tho proposition that a man must be a democrat or republican before he can hold any office in local affairs. Tho blame attaches nowhere but on
tho people themselves. If they continue to vote the party ticket and elect Incompetent and dishonest men to office because they happen to belong to their
own political faith. Just so long will such conditions prevail.
Let them throw off party shackles and party emblems and party ties and
demonstrate that party politics can have no place in civic affairs and they will
redeem themselves from the present disgraceful conditions.
Chicago and Cook county will never have competent and capable office
holders until they are selected and elected by competent, careful, determined
citizens regardless of rarty. IMMUNITY FOR THE ALTON.
The letter of Attorney General Bonaparte was read to a Federal Grand Jury in Judge Landis' court Tuesday, granting immunity to the Chicago & Alton railroad, from criminal prosecution for accepting rebates from the Standard
Oil company, because of evidence given In the suit against the Oil company
Attorney General Bor.ararte In his letter said: "The department respectfully reports that although some parts of the evidence aro undeniably open to ad
verse criticism, the most perfect good faith requires the government to accord to the Chicago & Alton the privileges of an accomplice, who became a witness for the prosecution." That the attorney general's view is sound law, cannot be gainsaid. But his opinion and the dismissal of the criminal prosecution is of more than ordinary interest, because of a ruling of Judge Humphrey in the recant packer's trial. In that case Judge Humphrey decided that because of the information given to Secretary Garfield, the packers could not be prosecuted on such evidence given in good faith. His position was also, undeniably good law. But that did not prevent President Roosevelt from making an official, bitter and unwarranted attack upon the Judge. Judge Humphrey Is a man. learned in the law, of unimpeachable honesty and courage, and naturally because he did not yield to the popular ill-advised clamor and decide a case contrary to law, and good

"FROG," THEJEW GAME
Mexican Cards Similar to
Skat and Called Bridge's Equal. New York, Sept. 24. A Mexican cor
respondent of the Sun writes: Frog
is the aristocratic card game of Mex
ico. While conauian Is considered the
national game of that country, it bears
about the same relation to frog that
euchre does to bridge in the United
States. Frog requires a high order
of Intelligence to play it well, and
those who have had experience with
It like It as well. If not better, than bridge.
It is up to modern standards in the
matter of elasticity and variety, with
the element of bidding, and the result
depends on the players own Judgment,
untrammeled by the luck of a part
ner's hand: unfettered by the fear of
his criticisms at the end. In these re
spects frog is very much like skat,
and It has been suggested that the
idea of frog is borrowed from skat. Even the name "frog" may be a cor
ruption of "frage." which was one of
the varieties of skat in the early days.
Frog is played with a pack of thirty
six cards, all below the six being
thrown out. These cards rank A, 10, K. Q. J, 9, 8, 7, 6, and the five honors
have the same pip value that they have

thinking hard.
The question was repeated while
Mamie made a mental resolve, never to give up her knowledge. She figured, however, that no harm could come from the mere fact of her admitting having purchased the fruit.
"Yes mara'me," she said at length. "Where did you get the money?" There was another pause and Mar-
nie finally said:
"That Is something I can not tell
you.
Meanwhile, the old woman sat
there muttering exclamations that sounded like "angel child! She did
it to help a poor old woman;" and
'precious little sweetness" and other
expressions of endearment to which no one paid any attention.
"Something you can not tell me?
What do you mean?"
Marnie fidgeted uneasily. "Really
I must not tell."
This extraordinary reply was fol
lowed by a dead silence during dur-
ng which every eye was fixed upon
the unhappy culprit. Suddenly Mrs.
Weber, remembering the presence
of the old woman, turned to Miss Leavitt and said:
"Get her name and address. We
may want her later. Then she may go."
REJECT UPTON'S BID
The Cubs broke even with Philadel
phia in a double-header yesterday. In
the first game they used the regular
team and won by a score of 5 to 0, bu
in the second they pushed in Durbin in
right, Howard on first and Zimmerman on second, and they were beaten 6 to 0 in six innings. Of course, nobody cared much so long as it gave the regulars time to rest up for the big games later on.
Sam Langford, the terrible dlnge from Boston, showed his class last night at New York where he gave Jim Barry, the Chicago middleweight, the worst lacing he ever got in six rounds. The coon could hardly walk around the ring, owing to a sprained ankle, but he used his mits to good advantage and had Barry almost out. Barry outweighed him twenty pounds.
Gary is going to get into the sporting game strong tonight, and the Eagles will hold a boxing carnival. Kid Bezenah and Willie Murphy will go ten rounds for the wlndup, while a few of the lesser lights will be put on for
conscience, he brought down upon himself the wrath of a man who finds in public acclaim the meat on which he feeds. Judge Humphrey now finds himself vindicated by the government. He can afford to treat with silence the unwarranted attacks of the president. But what, in the light of these latter events, must be thought of the conduct of Mr. Roosevelt? His own attorney general, affirms and approves the rule of law, announced by Judge Humphrey, and his vindication carries with it the conviction of President Roosevelt, of an uncalled for and unproper attack upon an officer of a co-ordinate branch of the government. Thus, day by day, is it demonstrated, that our worthy president's mistakes are standing out as the most conspicuous incidents of his career.
New York Yacht Club De
clines Engilsh Baronet's Challenge.
New York, Sept. 26. Sir Thomas Lip-
ton's challenge for another race for the
American cup was presented to the meeting of the New York Yacht club
this evening and declined.
The challenge called fer a race for boats built under the new rule, to rate in the sixty-eight foot class, and asked permission to build two challengers and sail with the fatest. But it failed to comDlv with the deed of gift In
stating any water line or other diinen
sions of the challenging boat and was
turned down for this reason.
The Irish baronet made an attempt
to force the New York Yacht to ac
cept his proposition for a race under
the new rules, evidently figuring tha
the talk of "wholesome boats" and
"present rules" would so confuse the
situation that tho club would have dlf
Acuity In declining to race wlthou
endangering its reputation for fair
ness. He evidently banked on the well
known sentiment of the American reo
pie to race "under any conditions,'
confident of the ability of the nation
to defend its honors, to help him fore the club to accept his proposal. Ltpton Between. Two Plres.
In falling, however, to comply with
the clearly denned terms of the deed
of gift and in nominating a smalle boat than the class that had alway
raced for the cup. Sir Thomas antag
onized the class which holds the trophy
to be offered for speed only, and which
believes there should be no restriction to limit boats, and he antagonized th
element which, though favorable to a
race under the new rules, wants t
see the cup raced for with nothing but
the largest class of boats permitte by the deed of gift. Both of these parties feel that t
race with 6mall boats under either th new rule or the old, would lower th
cup from the high position it has al
ways held and would rob it of all sig
nlficance.
By taking the course he did, Si
Thomas practically closed the gates
against himself, and there are thos
who believe that his purpose in chal
lenglng as he did was nothing else tha
to have the conditions under which the club would race for the cup clearly defined.

After Mother Lundie had gone, Mrs
Weber began to question Marnie
again.
Marnie," said she, "Miss Leavitt
and I have both missed things out of our rooms for the past month or
more. I dislike very much to talk
to you about the matter, but I feel
that what has Just occurred, Justi
fies this little examintion. You have
been frequently sent to both mine
and Miss Leavitt's rooms. You have bought fruit and candy according to
your own admission, of the old wom
an who has Just left. You decline
to tell us from what source you ob
tained the money wherewith to make
these purchases. Do you see what your silence on this subject and your
queer behavior lead us to believe?"
Marnie did not at first reply. She
stood, her gaze resting first upon the
matron and then upon the teacher
As the meaning of Mrs. Weber's
words began to fully dawn upon her
she seemed to grow taller to expand
and to change from a child into
woman. The look that she fixed
upon Mrs. Weber the look of out
raged Innocence, of hurt pride, almost caused the matron to wince. Miss Leavitt's glace fell before the eyes of the child. Both the women felt that they had changed places with defendant that she was the accuser and they the accused. "Mrs. Weber," said Marnie at length in a voice so low that it was scarce audible a dozen feet away, but with clear enunication, "Mrs. Weber, do you mean did I steal your money?" The withering scorn in the tone, was felt by both women. Mrs. Weber replied with a faint and almost inaudible "yes." "Did you ever catch me in a lie?" went on the low, clear voice of the young inquisitor. The question was addressed to Miss Leavitt. "No Marnie, I certainly did not." "Did you?" to Mrs. Weber. "No." "Well, I did not steal your money, nor your money Miss Leavitt. I have never stolen anybody's money and never expect to." Marnie started to leave the room but she was recalled by Mrs. Weber. "But my child," said the latter,
"no one would ever had believed you j to have been guilty, had It not been j that you admitted, yourself, to have bought things of this old woman and your queer behavior regarding the money with which pou purchased them. To tell you the truth, had I been considering the possibility of guilt in reference to every child In
the Institution, you would hare been the last of them all for me to suspect. Why, Marnie, I had trusted you implicitly. And I will trust you still, if you will give a reasonable excuse for having money. It hurts me more to believe you guilty or quite as much, I am sure, as It does you to be accused of guilt." "Wrhen I tell you, Mrs. Weber, that I can not explain where the money came from, because of certain very good reasons, I think you should believe me. I came by the money quite honestly. That is all I can say." "Marnie!" exclaimed Mrs. Weber, In despair, torn between her faith In the child and the implications In which the evidence and her own peculiar conduct enveloped her. "It is madness for you to act in this way.
If you maintain this secrecy there Is J
This was Mamie's second experi
ence in the punishment closet. Put
the second was not destined to be of
such short duration as had been the
first.
Her meals, such as they were, (she
was denied the regular rations given
the other children and allowed little besides bread and water) were passed
into her prison. Thus two days
elapsed, Mrs. Weber visiting her at intervals to inquire whether she was yet ready to confess how she came
by the money with which 6he pur
chased the fruit.
Marnie felt she was being persecuted and lapsed at length into
stubborn silence, answering the matron In monosyllables. She was so
tired of saying "I can not tell."
The third day, after a consultation
with Misa Leavitt, the matron de
cided it would not be advisable to have Marnie kept longer In solitary
confinement with nothing to do. This
was too torturous and nerve-destroy
ing.
"She need not know that we are
giving her the work really to make her imprisonment less cf a hardship.
Let her believe we intend It as a
greater punishment," said Mrs Weber.
So Marnie was given stockings to mend and aprons to sew and while the time passed somewhat less dreari
ly, she felt very dismal. She had spent almost a week In the closet,
which was in reality quite a large
room, but bare and dreary, when one
day she heard a slight scratching sound on the floor near the door. A slip of paper and a pencil was thrust under the door. On the paper was
written: Dear Marnie Is there anything can do? BERTHA BAKER.
Tne note came as a ray of hope to the wears' suffering Marnie. She
scrawled on the paper:
Yes. Bring me some more paper and an envelope. I will address the envelope and you carry it to the person
to whom it is addressed. MARNIE.
P. S. When you come for the letter.
give three low taps on the door.
The paper and envolpe were soon forthcoming. Marnie hurriedly
wrote: Dear Jennie
I have been shut up In the punishment closet because Mrs. Weber imagines I stole the money you gave me, from her. She sayB she has missed some lately. She has been trying for almost a week to make me tell where It came from, but as I promised I would not, I have not done so. Can't you tell her? She will say nothing about it to the lod woman. Explain to her how necessary it is that the information be kept from Mrs. Lundie, and I am sure she will not tell her. MARNIE. The prisoner then addressed the
For two whole weeks Marnie was imprisoned in the punishment closet. Even her bed was moved into tho dreary apartment and there she slept and took her meals and worked and cried nnd brooded and wondered why Jennie did not Bend her some word. About this time Mrs. Weber had decided it would never do to longer keep Marnie a prisoner. The kindhearted matron was very much grieved at Mamie's stubbornness in not acknowledging the crime which'
her conduct caused everybody to be
lieve she had committed.
Mrs. Weber consulted with old Mr.
Wood, tho only available director of the asylum, for it happened that several were out of town just then and
i number were confined to their ionics with illness. To Mr. Wood she told the story ofi
Mamie's transgression and of how she had labored to soften the child's
heart and cause her at least to admit her fault. She asked the old genlte-
man's advice, saying she could not
find it In her heart to keep Marnie
longer in solitary confinement and
yet for the sake of discipline she felt
it worse than folly to yield to hen stubbornness.
Moreover she regarded it as an in
justice to the other children to set at large a sneak-thief among them.
Mr. Wood who had heard of Mar nie, and had always understood that she was the best-liked girl in tha home, was amazed and shocked and he said as much. He was a stern lover of justice, and declared that in the present instance, "Justice should be meted out" to the culprit, even if Mrs. WTeber and he and everybody suffered as much in the Infliction oi it as did the object herself. "The State Reform School for Girls Is the place for such as she," declared Mr. Wood. "But," sighed Mrs. Weber, "I can not bear to place the child In such an institution where most of the inmates are vicious criminals. This is Mamie's first offense." "Spare the rod and spoil the child," quoted Mr. Wood. "Only In this casa more severe measures than the use of an ordinary rod are needed. Had the rod been brought Into requisition in the past, it is doubtful whether the present trouble would ever have occurred. I am not a believer in the modern methods for the upbringing o! children, I was caned with frequency when a boy and I believe it did me sorae good." Mr. Wood had on hi3 deacon manners now, and delivered this speech aa though It were an oration. Mrs. Weber was not in a mood for arguing theories for governing the young, with the old director just then, bo she let his remark pass unheeded and exclaimed sadly: "If only she would confess!"
