A REPLY TO BEN TILLMAN.
Mr.. Featherstone Speaks for 10000 Proh1-
bitionists.
Ne,cs and Courier.

great father Of the institution, and in
one breath knocks all Of the morality
out of it and declares that it never
was so intended, that he fooled the
Prohibitionists Of the State, and led
from the path of rectitude, the cow
ards and hypocrites.
And so it was not passed because OF
it's moral features. itwas not intended
to curtail the sale Of whiskey, but it
| was intended to give the people all
they want Of good quality Of whis-
key.
True this is not much information
to great many people, but the writer
is glad to have it from SO high an au-
thority as Senator Tillman. He is
glad to have the system unmasked and
let it stand out before the people for
what it really is, scheme to give the
people all they want to drink and make
money for the State.
Shorn of it's so-called morality and
declared by its father to be simply
whiskey selling scheme for the sake
Of revenue only.
If such is the dispensary, let the
people who have been supporting it
for morality sake take due notice and
form themselves accordingly.
By the way, it might be profitable
to know some Of the towards and hy-
pocrites who were members Of the
General Assembly in 1892. 1t is use
less to call names, but the writer
knows some Of them personally and
good many of them by reputation,
good men and true: who will not ap-
preciate being called towards and hy-
pocrites, and whose shoes Senator
Tillman is not worthy to unlatch.

and living often conceal it, but change
this and the real condition Of the
moderate drinker will appear.
To call all moderate users Of spirits
inebriates would seem to be an extreme
statement, and yet careful study OF
the best of these cases reveals many
startling facts Of both physical and
mental disease. The continuous use
of alcohol is beyond all question pois-
onous, not in any narrow or limited
way, but in the continuous palsy and
arrangement Of nutrition and nerve
force.
Practically, the continuous drinker
is more generally diseased and more
difficult to restore than the excessive
and periodic user Of spirits. It would
seem to be mere matter Of degree
between the moderate and the excess
sive drinker, with the very uncertain
factor Of being unable to determine
the extent of the degeneration in the
moderate drinker.
The experiences Of many persons
confirm the statement that no mod
crate use of spirits is compatible with
health or mental soundness, and mod
crate drinkers may be called in many
cases veritable ine5riates.-Journal Of

Habits Of Speech.

ssWhy do educated parents allow
their children to contract habits of
ungrammatical speech that will have
to be conquered in after life?' asked
spinster of a mother.
+, because they hate to worry the
poor little things about such matters
when. they are young and should be
! care-free. 1t seems cruel to be all
the time correcting them and keeping
them on their good behavior. They
will have to learn the rules Of our
dreadful language all too soon as it
is.
eyes," said the spinster, Sin ad-
dition to learning to speak properly
they will have to unlearn the tricks
of speech in which they have been al
lowed to indulge all their little lives.
1 know" laughing, ''that there is
much ridicule of 'old maids children,
but [ believe that my theory IN this
case is correct. 1t is positive un-
kindness to let your child double his
negatives and say ain t, when several
years from now he will be sharply re-
proved for such lapseS. The child
must learn to talk anyway, and is it
not as easy to teach him to say It'll
T. as It's me?' And is it not as sim
pie for the little tongue to lisp i saw
it, as I seen it?' I love baby talk,
and should not correct child Tor his
mispronunciation Of hard words. AS
he grows older he will himself see his
mistakes in that line and change them.
But insist that it is parents duty
to make the difficult path to grammat-
ical speech as easy as possible by
never allowing the little ones to stray
from it in the beginning. '-Hanper's

THEATRE is ASSURED
Tangible Plan to Provide a Modern
Play House Under Con.
sideration.
THIS MEANS A $4,000 INVESTMENT.

An Undertaking Already Under Way
I'm n Short Time-Rock Island Can Do
What other Cities Have Done In This
Respect.
The new theatre, so long and
earnestly hoped for in Rock Island, is
becoming daily more closely within
the range of the possibilities of the
very near future. Like all the under
takings that have within recent years
engaged the attention of Rock Island,
the new theatre is an enterprise that
is bound to come. 1t is but neces-
sary 10 impress it's needs to insure
the success of the endeavor in its be-
half. Indeed there is already a move
ment on foot which is likely to devel-
OPP most any time which will bring
a tangible proposition to the fore
looking to the accomplishment of this
much desired end. What other cities
have done Rock Island can do. Ave,
Rock Island can do more. This city
has never gone after thing that she
has failed to land. So it will be with
the theatre.
Nothing But Tirst-CIsss Will Do.
Nothing short of modern ground
floor opera house is contemplated by
those who have the plan in hand. The
location has been picked out and the
ways and means FULLY provided for.
There will be those who may term
this a hot air story. so to speak, but
it is not. 1t is hot stuff, though, and
means just what is saba new up-to-
date play house in Rock Island before
another amusement season opens. 1t
requires but a reasonable quantity of
energy and determination TO insure
success. Rock Island has both. An in
vcstment of something like $4,000 is
anticipated.

OFF AGAIN-.ON AGAIN.
Erroneous Report Concerning FIR. Hurst
and Legislative appointments.

A story, originating with reporter
at Springfield, has been going the
rounds of the press in effect that Hon.
f. W. Hurst, ROCK Islands represen-
tative in the legislature, had been sue
ceeded as memb of the committee
on appropriations. Happilyit proves
Il canard. Mr.. Hurst states that the
report was started by an attempt,
which eventually proved successful
on the part of the Sangamon county
people to have DR.. Vincent appointed
on this important committee on
which. according to the original pro-
gram. they were denied membership.
While berth was made for the doc
tor, Mr.. Hurst was not disturbed, the
party in control at the state capital,
although he be of the opposite polit-
ical faith, recognizing in Mr.. Hurst
too valuable counsellor to make a
target of their prerogatives of office.
Mr.. Hurst also is member of the
judiciary and other important COM
mittees, as heretofore stated.
