CONGRESSIONAL

4 CONGRESSIONAL apportiODment
scheme has been prepared by Secretary
of State Hinrichsen. When on the state
central committee BUCK" was considered
one of the most level-headed and ssluie
politicians on the committee IS well as an
energetic and tireless worker. But we
don't Ike his superintendent scheme for
several reasons Under his plan Cook
county would have seven districts, with
Lake county added, whereas the populs>
lion OF Cook entities it to only six, which
gives the big democratic county on the
lake the two extra districts in the state.
Our principal objection, however, is the
decidedly unfair manner in which 1t is
proposed to divide the present 18th dis
trict to the detrinent OF Rock Island and
Mercer counties which are to be placed in
the 10Th district with the counties of
Whiteside, Henry and Knox. This plan
would not only place as in a hopelessly
republican district, but also in the small
est in point Of population in the state. or
five per cent less than the ratio.
No, no, Mr.. Hinrichsen. the demo-
Gratis of Rock Island and Mercer coun-
ties deserve better treatment, at the hands
OF their party. Your plan will not do { 1t
is msnifestly unfair to this section Of the
state, Try sgsin; you may do better.

THE THEFT OF LOVE.

Once, long ago,
Twas years and years unnumbered-
Love weary grew
Ana slumbered.
Wher, with mischief rife,
Anmph espied him,
Stole ais bow and arrow,
Lying loose beside him,
Love slept on; then, sobbing,
Told of his awaking.
Having lost his bow,
His title heart was breaking.
Love grew sad and SILENT
Notl ing did but brood,
And all this while no lover
Was by lover wooed.
When the world grew loveless,
Having lost loves giver,
Then the nymph contritely
Gave back to Love his CULVER.
The rogue, since wiser grown,
Mind 'ul Of his dover,
Now always hides his bow,
Rene mbering that sad hour.

Their lives have been spent with nature.
Born to good health, as the saying
goes, they keep it.
Think how they live, eat, sleep, travel
about, exposed to climatic changes, pois-
onous night airs, damp sleeping places,
food half cooked, and eaten with utter
, disregard OF all common rules of health.
Yet, look at them! Pictures of health.
Chronic Rheumatism? Never. NAL
aria and Chills? Very rarely. Indiges-
ton? Occasional symptoms perhaps,
but Chronic Dyspepsia, utterly unhesrd
OF. While any of the numerous Attic
lions of the liver, kidneys or bladder, so
frequently found among the whites, is
rarely heard of among the Indians.
Why is it?
For centuries these children OF nature
have studied her ways. For centuries
they have known where to look in the
forest and field for certain cure for
the ills which arise from the disobed-
fence of natures laws. At the first sign,
the first symptoms of sickness, they re-
sort to their ''Sagwa''-the most potent,
remedial com bination of roots anu herbs

The Honeat Dollar.

A great deal is being said over the
country just now about the ga cent
dollar" A number OF our republi-
can contemporaries would have lis
know that they favor an "honest dol
lar" or in other words they want the
silver dollar to contain APO to 1926
grains of silver in order that 1t may
equal in value the gold dollar. Yet
the same papers loudly proclaim that
they favor bimetallism!
Now it must be apparent to any
person who has given the subject the
slightest thought that if the silver
coin must be regulated to fit the gold
standard, then bimetallism does not
exist, but recommendation pure and
simple.
The only reason that the amount of
silver in a silver dollar is not worth
100 cents is because the law places it
under the "ban of the republic" and
simply says that it shall not be worth
q dollar. Remove the ban and silver
will spring up to its proper value,
take its place co-equal with gold, and
that too without driving gold from
the country.

The three hour speech Of Mayor
Matthews of Boston before the legis-
lative committee which is investigat-
ing the lawless operations of the Bay
State gas company, marks notable
advance in the executive policy to-
ward corporations Of quasi-publlc
character. The mayor, to be sure, is
not ready to declare for public
lighting plant, but tits possible that
he may be compelled to take that
ground as appears from the following
passage in his speech: "Ihere is a
spirit of unrest abroad in this land
caused by the failure Of our political
institutions to exact from corporate
wealth due regard for its. public OBJ
legations. There is feeling of I'M
easiness that is spreading more and
more, further and further, at the ina
hility Of the public, as represented by
it's legislators, to control these corpo-
rations, to compel them to fulfil their
public and their charter obligations.
IL that feeling is not needed, if our
legislatures cannot act between the
corporations ard the people in asprit
of equity and fairness to both, why
then, gentlemen, there is a remedy
right at hand; there is a remedy that
is being advocated now by some Of
the most ingenious and able men in
these United States-the remedy of
municipal ownership. Now l confess
that l shrink from and fear the re-
suits of municipal ownership; But l
say, Mr., Chairman, better municipal
ownership with all that it INVOLVES of
possible risk and danger to the COM
munity than the unmitigated evils of
an unrestricted and uncontrolled I'M
scrupulous monopoly; better that our
cities and towns should do this busl-
ness for themselves, wisely If they
can, unwiselV and foollshly if they
must, than hand them over to the
tender mercies Of foreign SPECTATORS,
who are here for the simple purpose
OF evading our corporation laws and
of plundering our people. Munich
pal ownership is the answer to mac
ton on the part Of our Legislators
when cases like these are brought to
their Rttentiop."-NesC Nation.

Mr.. Clarkson ought to remember that
the young man Of to-day is not a
dreamer. He cannot be expected to
fight over the old issues of thirty
years ago. he realizes that there is
"living present" in which he is to
act his part for good or bad. Intelli-
gent, active young America ceases to
be satisfied with the glory Of his faith
ers' achievement, but must accom-
plish something for himself, He
knows that this generation has great
issues, vital to his welfare, and does
Mr.. Clarkson expect him to lack the
courage to think and act for himself?
The young men who have left the re-
publican party are seeking party of
living principles and not one Of dead
