We begin in this issue series of
articles upon practical politics as it is
practiced today, by Hon. Wm.H. Hin
richsen of Chicago. The articles are
non'partisan. While we may not
agree with all the advice given by the
Illinois politician, we believe every
citizen who takes any interest in pub.
lie affairs will be benefited and in
structed by study of the articles in
question. The series consists of
twelve articles one of which will ap-
pear each week in the state edition.

position in any home. Even the geni-
al and popular agent for the. John
Hancock Life Insurance Co., Mr.. J.
F. Branton, has seen fit to remember
us with some of the date bearers, for
which he has our thanks as we'll as
the rest who remembered US at Christ
mas time
