Judge charge of the selective conscrintion act. The duty of conducting that registration was not imposed upon him by law, and it was only when the city administration found it impossible to undertake the task that he assumed it. The result that Chicago, alone of all the large cities in the country. was able to make comnlete returns on the first day of registration and alone of all large cities in the country re- gistered its future soldiers without a hitch of any kind. Judge Scully was enabled to perform this feat owing to his successful management of the elec- tion machinery of the county. At his request the judges ad clerks of elec- tion served without pay as draft re- gistrars and the owners of polling places granted the use of their places of business free of charge. The ex- pense to Chicago. to the state and to the nation of registering the thousands of men eligible for military service - was practically nothing. The same efficiency displayed in the management of the registration has been manifested at all elections and primaries. During Judge Scully's four Vvears in office there has never heen a serious complaint about the fairness with which the primaries and elections were conducted. He is the first county Judge of recent years under whose ad- ministration no election official has been convicted of frauds. Judge Scully's achievements in the establishment of hum anitarian methods in dealing with the wards of the coun- ty have won the commendation of all those familiar with what he has done. He is the first county judge under whom scientific methods have been in- troduced in caring for the insane. The old method of de aling with the insane as if they were eriminals has been done away with and instead of allowing lay juries to nass upon their cases eom- missions of eminent nhysiei been appointed to render in In all the other departments county government under the juris- diction of Judge Scully the same im- | provements have been noted. | best plants from which to save seed.

If the three are prompt and accurate and the conversation is as brief as possible, the line is soon at the disposal of others; if not, it is probable that before the con- versation is finished, one or both speak- ers will have kept a social or business acquaintance waiting to use the wire. Co-operation between telephone users in this important respect will improve the service.
