the municipal code bill, which was not
being espoused by boards of trade and

The bill had some good features, but
was too cumbersome.
The chairman of the committee on
statistics read the following report:
CANTON'S GREAT GROWTH.
The following report was submitted
by the committee on statistics on the
growth Of Canton during the year 1901:
The growth of Canton during the
year 1901 has been the largest in its
history. II has grown larger during
the year 1901 than it has during the
biggest boom year of the Dueber per-
iod. Every house that was built during
the past year is occupied by one or
more families and a large number of
the houses in the city are occupied by
more than one family. The large num-
her Of houses erected during the past
year was not sufficient to house the
people and it will require more than
double the number the present year.

Elect Every Year

! Among some of the societies it is
thought a plan should be formulate ed
by which a president is elected to
office instead of allowed to hold the
office from year to year, as the pres
ent incumbent has done. At inter
national conventions of the past Doc
tor Clarke's position has not been
questioned and, as a compliment to
his work in establishing the order,
he has been considered always as
the only man to have at its head
Many would like to see, the office
of president make an elective one
and this question will be discussed
and action upon the matter may be
taken at the coming convention.
Friday afternoon will be devoted to
denominations rallies. These rallies
are a pleasing feature of the state
convention. For the afternoon, APP
pointed services win tbe held in
churches of all denominations in
Quincy. These services will be held
in the large churches and each dele
gate and visitor may attend services
at church of his own denomination.
Friday evening viii be devoted en-
tirely TO the two addresses by promi-
nent men of the state society.
Saturday morning will be divided
into department meetings at which
the head of the three departments
of the society will address the con-
vention on the progress of work and
plans and prospects for the coming
year. The one of these department
commanders best known TO Rock
Island is Frances LeBarron, state
organizer and superintendent of the
Illinois junior society of Christian
Endeavor. The superintendent and
organizers of the senior and inter
mediate departments also will speak
at length.
The evening of this day will be
given over entirely to what promises
to be one of the most interesting
features of the three days stay in
the city of Quincy. \ moonlight ex-
cursion on the Mississippi has been
planned and sufficient boating accom-
modations will be arranged for as
large a number as wish to go. The
excursion will remain several hours
on the river and the return to Quinn
cy will not be made until late at
night.
Last year the fight between Quincy
and Joliet was hard fought one and
following the choice of Quincy, the
opinion became prevalent that Jo-
liet will be selected for the conven-
tion of 1903.

new building. were ordered paid the
sum of $6.460 upon the recommended

gram for an address by Organizer
Clarke and it is thought he will be
present The work this man has
done in bringing the society TO its
present standing is prominent in the
history of the organization.
Twenty-one years ago. Mr.. Clarke
started the first society of Christian
Endeavor in the First Congregational
church at Portland, Me-, with Il mem
bershiP of twenty-six. Today there
are 100000 Christian Endeavorers.
Then the society was known in one
ordinary sized city; now there is not
a state in the union and scarcely
civilized country i'm the world in
which the Christian Endeavor has
not gained a foot hold. In Illinois
alone the membership numbers over
$4,000, and in this city every one of
the societies is in n fiourishing CON
dition.
An example which. it seems, best
Illustrates the extent of the work
and the influence the society has
gained is that the Christian Endeav-
orers of Calcutta, India, have made n
bid for the international convention
of 1905 1t is purely American idea
and the president of the society, who
was in charge of twenty-siX hustling
Endeavorers, now controls the move
ments of thousands of missions and
is the executive officer of an or
ganiZation on the heads of whose
members the sun never sets.

Early Convention Commended.

The early date of this years con-
vention has resulted in universal
commentator of the officers in
charge. Last year the convention
assembled in the fall, which was
found to be an inconvenient date for
public school teachers and others
who are members of the society and
who were anxious to attend. At
that time the state fair was on and
this alone caused many, especially
those in Springfield and nearby To-
sealities, to forego attendance.
The time selected for this years
convention is considered a good one
and, with the attractions afforded,
the historical interest attaching
to portions of the convention city
and the good list of speakers, will
make the coming meeting one of the
most successful in the history of the
state organization.
Provision will be made for the pro-
