He is not guided by courage, shrewdness of strength, but by his lack of principles. He is stupid and his stupidity plus his indifference to public decency allows him to do the outrageous things for which any govern-- or ought to be impeached. Len Small was made governor by Thompson and Lundin when their control over Chicago was tightest. Chicago has cleaned house. Thompson quit. Lundin is under indietment. The city is making a fresh stait. Temperamentally he is timid but he is so unscrup-- ulous that his lack of principle gives him the appear-- ance of audacity. When he was shaking in his boots for fear a Lake county jury would send him to the penitentiary he was amazing some of the stoutest rascals in the state by his boldness in offering voters the bribe of good roads in exchange for legislators who would protect him. Small is even worse than either Thompson or Lundin. He has always been bad. Twenty--five and thirty years ago his connection with the corruption of public institutions sych as the Kankakee insane asylum was notorious. He always has been notorious. " --~He was a public nuisanc@ when he was a little grubbing downstate politician, picking up offices which would allow him to control coal contracts for an in-- stitution, levy an assessment on poorly--paid institution employes, and gather in nickles and dimes where he eguld get them. He was more than a nuisance when he could get an office which permitted him to hold public money and handle the interest on it. Then Chicago's misfortune became tre state's misfortune and the small time politician took over control of I!li-- nois as governor. To make himself entirely insufferable he took up tricks which he had }earned from Lundin and Thomp-- son. He had been a small minded, realistic gangster Seems like 'tre doctors and the , on« visitin' nurse and the teachers al'!'fl( all worn to a frazzle from nndin"n kids home, and then the parents send | }ig them back sayin' it's no such filng"fl as whooping cough, because none of | an *em has choked to death yet, and j kn when said kids are shipped back| at home again on a one way ticket, and ab a classification card nailed on their| to door after 'em, some folks get mard | GU boiled and tell the M.

There are indictments in Lake county now which may résult in disclosure. Waether or not we learn more of that verdict we are entitled to learn more of where the $2,000,000 went, a careless janitor burning up bank records did Mr. Small a great favor and made it greater by convenient ly dying. . §0¥6. nuaicn ... .4 / gAd h.

If he uttered another threat against the de-- cency of the state and the independence of the legis-- lature he would get just one thin dime for the upkeep of the executive office and residence. Then roads would go wnere roads are needed, Small would be quiet and tre air in Illinois would be cleaner. A self--respecting legislatdre could handle him in a minute. If the assembly has not tie moral will and courage to impeach him for misdeeds which demand it, the members might have enough regard for themselves to say that they were independent and intended to remain so. L Until Mr. Small remembers Where it went and tells this part of the world we are entitled to believe that Wherever Small puts his hand he leaves a Plack spot and by this time the black spot begins to" take the shape of the state of lIllinois. Herrin was not a crime of passion. It was a crime of misgovernment. The men at Herrin were drunk and insanely mad, but there was something worse than drink and insanity at Springfield, which prevented the intervention of the state in time to prevent massacre. .
