Lewis, upon the arrival of Alder man Smaftwood, took a seat in front of the (lock. After various legal ar guments, the outcome was that Wright was liberated on a bail or 1200,000. The case dragged on for some time, with no further developments worthy of note. Sir Rufus Isaacs was the head of a formidable array ..f counsel for the jirosecution. It was not until January 11. 104, that the English government was able to bring the greatest swindler and pro moter of modern times before the bar for a final passing of judgment upon him. The case was continued for six days, and on the seventh -Mr. Wright appeared In ' the witness box and related tne si..ry of his life in America and of his promotions in I England until the disaster of 18. I He admitted that, while managing ! director of one company In- would I soil to himself as managing director jof another. When the crash came he held only I'.r.wi shares of the London leV Gtfobe Corporation. At no trial in recent years had the necessary papers been so large in quantity. On benches, floors ami ! seits were strapped in tall heaps I documents of every hue and shape. The witnesses were a host which no man could number and represented lull grades of society, from fashion ahle men about town to lads in corduroy and mufflers. For two days be was cross-examined, during which time he was mercilessly handled. The jury was out but a short time when jit returned a verdict of guilty.

A Campaign in favor of a constitutional amendment will be shortly instituted. This, like all other important ques tions has two sides, on each of which are found honest and intelligent per sons. The Republican has decided to pro i vide for a reasonable discussion tliis issue in its pages, allowing to each side at least a half column daily . other sources will be rejected.

PROHIBITION AND PIGS i.onioi acv ates and ten profess to fe: traffic in case in mortal feai the triumph of ill-gal if prohibition. They are )f the "olind pig". They dread the "speak easy". On on. of these points we can sharetheir fears. In the first place nothing could ope rate more in defiance of law than the saloon itself. Ii is the universal law breaker. It is in direct, open and shameful alliance everywhere with all the lawless lements of society. It fur nishes them a rendezvous where they can plot their crimes. It is their social "club". The "blind pig", by reason of its being such, is more quiet, more con cealed, more careful. Bui the fact is that prohibition is i ii"i in aii sense responsible for tile I "Mind pig", The "blind pig" is merely another breaking-out, another mani festation of the poisoning virus of the liquor business. Liquor is wholly re- sponsible for the blind pig. Not one could exist for a minute on prohibi- j li.m. The blind pig gets its supply j from the brewer and the distiller, the men higher up in the illegal saloon traffic This supply comes in defiance j of the law from a source ill always defies the law. Chicago is a wide-open city Ti license system has reached its thete. "Regulation" is a; home a lime. Chicago has more than licensed saloons, and yet it has "blind pigs" and "speak-easy than can be found in the entire states under prohibition!
