Number Of Important improvements

poet.

\ number of important improve
ments at Camp Lincoln are under con-
sideration and the Legislature will be
asked to give them favorable con-
sideration. Chief among these is a
proposition to increase the size of the
camp by extending the parade
ground. Experience in holding brig
ade encampments has shown the ne
ccssity for a more extensive field up
on which to work, and the adjutant
general will urge that the additional
land necessary be secured without
further delay. 1t is now admitted
that larger camp should have been
purchased in the first instance, and
the only manner in which the mis-
take can be rectified is to get adj
ditional land before the territory
near the camp has been built up and
put beyond the reach of the state.
When Camp Lincoln was estab-
Iished the plan was an experiment
and the state did not care to in
vest very heavily in the project. FIX
pericnce has demonstrated the wis
dom of the movement and the advisa-
bility of the site selected. No better
| location for a camp could have been
found within the state and the i'm
provements made are of such charac-
ter as to add to its natural advan-
tages. The military authorities would
not think of abandoning the site un
less it was found necessary to do 81
on account of limited space, and i
is to save the admirable property the

Inadequacy Shown.

The inadequacy of the area now oc-
cupied by the camp was made mani
fest early in the year when the ma
tional government proposed series
of training camps for state soldiers.
Officers from the war department had
Camp Lincoln under consideration as
the site for one of the schools, where
militiamen from number of the
states could be gathered for instruc
tion in the larger military formations
and evelutions. They were enthusi-
astic over the beauty and the natu-
raj adaptability of the camp, and the
only objection made to il was that
it was not large enough for the pur-
pose.
Adjutant General Smith has de
cided that it will not be practica bic
TO open the Camp Lincoln rife range
for the benefit of the Sangamon coun-
~ militiamen who are anxious to per-
feet themselves in craftsmanship, and
it was announced yesterday that no
more shooting would be done on the
range this year.
There are several reasons why the
local range cannot be used again this
wear. The state does not own the
land back of its rife butts, and the
people who have homes there are in
danger when the range is in use. II
is necessary for them To leave their
places while the shooting * going on
and the state must compensate them
for loss of time. When the encamp-
ment is on the state has a regular
contract with the land owners af-
fected by the range, but this CON
tract mas run out, and it is doubtful
whether another could be made this
season of the year. The property
owners are anxious to finish up their
summer and fall work and will not
care to leave their places at any

questions sitting in the middle of the

body and head, which also conceals a
tube leading from the under part Of the

the old man who had been murdered.
She was told that a girl had con-
fessed that she saw two men throw the
old man into the river from the bridge.
She demanded to be taken to the bridge
and after looking over the spot. she ad-
vised the searchers to look under a
sand-scow that was moored a short
distance from the bridge. The awe
struck laborers followed her advice and
found the body OF the old man caught
in the jetsam lodged against the OBJ

Miss Fay is cynical. on the stage

The men who were searching for the

the habit OF thinking. Unlike Miss Fay
they earn their living by following a

unprepared and panicky. 1t is not sur

men like a supernatural, mysterious
process. They do so little of ii that
when a sharp-eyed little body like
Miss Fay begins to think and to offer

The Newspapers and the Primaries
The total defeat of the council gang
which has been trying to administer
the affairs of the city without regard
to the interests Of the city and in be-
half of the gas company is due primar-
lily TO the efforts of the editors of the
Courier.
1t is conventional and customary to
elect councilmen to two terms. If it
had not been for the publicity given to
the schemes and conduct of the coun-
ell gang, the records of each council
man printed in full with explanatory
notes in the shape of editorial comment
in the newspapers, there is no doubt
that the councilmen who were candi-
dates for the second term would have
been reelected. Over and over again
the Journal has printed the names of
the members of the gang, so that there
was not a voter in the city who did not
know why it was inexpedient to re-
lor, Fryer, Malone, Erlenborn, Pentzer,
Stewart and Thompson.
The Bacon attempt to divert fifty
dollars of city taxes into his sons
pocket was abetted by the votes of the
gang and was defeated by the veto of
the mayor. The sum is a small one
but it illustrates the fact that the
members of the gang did not consider
that they were elected to represent the
interests Of the city but to trade favors
nearly even as possible. The effect of
the constant newspaper references to
this particular episode in which Mr..
Bacon was principal and the other
members Of the gang were accessories
before and after the act, was reflected.
in the vote Of the Fourth ward. Out
of 3Ss votes Mr.. Bacon received ".
