mittcd Mr.. Looney to have no more
voice in the convention than anyone
else, and declined to allow him to di-
rect either the control of I'll" convcn-
ton or of the organization to whose
hands the conduct of the affairs of
the party were committed. Accord
ingly the resulting action cannot fail
to give satisfaction to all classes of
voters.
1t remains now for the party but
to straighten out the situation in the
Fourth and Fifth wards so far as the
aIdermanic tickets are concerned and
thus make success as certain i'm these
two respects as it is with the entire
ticket otherwise.
1t is doubtful whether another con-
vention in this city ever transacted
greater amount of business with more
dispatch. Less than an hour was
consumed in attending to all the mat
tiers included i'm the call. and candi-
dates were named for all offices save
city clerk and justice of the peace.
The former was left vacant by vote
of the convention, thereby recogniz-

I'VE demand that the affairs of the
city be conducted in a business-like
manner; that rigid economy be ex-

understanding that the principles he
upheld were in harmony with those
of the best men of the party and of
the city. He was in favor, first of all,
of civil service reform as applied to
the appointive city offices and as had
been advocated in democratic party
platforms in the past. In business af-
fairs, he stated. the best men are al
ways selected to fill the Offices, while
in politics it too often happens that
political power tranScends personal
Illness. The taxpayers, the speaker
felt were entitled TO the iudicious eX-
penditure of their money. and to this
end the right men should be selected
for the city's appointive offices. The
coming city administ ration. the
speaker held. will have important
business matters to deal with. Taxes
are now mp to the constitutional linn
it and the needs of the city continue
to increase faster than the revenues.
Something must be done to meet the
conditions and to provide funds with
which to carry on public improve
ments. This, in the speakers opin-
ion, would be greatly simplified if the
city demanded cash return for the
franchises it vests. If street railway
or other franchises were granted it
should be done upon terms that
would insure the municipality some
return for the privileges vested and
at the same time the public should
be protected from eXorbitant rates.
These things he believed it perfectly
feasible to bring about if the right
men are put at the head of the city's
affairs. At the conclusion of his adj
dress Mr. Kenworthy drew from his
pocket the resolutions reported by
the committee of which he was chair
man and which were adopted as fol-
lows:

Resolutions Adopted.

we, the representatives of the
democratic party of the city of Rock
Island, in convention assembled. be-
lieving the principles hereinafter
enunciated TO be i'm the interests of
the people of this community, do
heartily pledge ourselves and our
party to the following principles:
1--WE are emphaticalIy opposed to
the promiscuous appointment of in
capable men to the various offices of
trust in this city. who have no other
qualification for the Office TO which
they are appointed than their ability
to control caucuses or get votes to
the polls. We are therefore in favor
of civil service reform. We believe
civil service to he applicable to cities
of this size, and pledge ourselves and
our party to work in the interests of
such a measure.
I'VE believe i'm reasonable reguIa-
tion of street railways. We are OPP
posed to the granting of street rail
way franchises to any corporation,
except upon the expressed condition
that the recipients of such franchises
as may be granted shall make full
and adequate compensation To the
city for the valuable rights they may
obtain. and shall, in addition, make
reasonable and fair concessions to
the people of the city in the way of
reduction of fare, transfers on all
lines owned by such company, and
reasonable protection to the patrons
of the company at transfer points.
we demand rigid investigation
of the rebates due on special assess
ments and condemn the practice of

Dangers of Pneumonia

A cold at this time if neglected is
liable to cause pneumonia, which is
so often fatal, and even when the pa
tient has recovered the lungs are
weakened, making them peculiarly
susceptible to the development of
consumption. Foley's Honey and Tar
will stop the cough, heal and strength

DUN's TRADE REVIEW.

New York. June 26.-R. G. Dun and Companys weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 No definitely unfavorable element is ap- parent in the business situation but there are several uncertainties that engender conservatism. In regard to distribution of merchandise. the long period or low temperature has curtailed trade in dry goods, clothing and other seasonable lines. Stocks have accumulated and pros poets for semi-dnnual inventories are not altogether encouraging.
 Railway earnings thus far available for June surpass last years by l02 per cent and exceed those of 1901 by IA per cens.
 After further moderate concessions In prices of iron and steel especially In pig iron and partly finished shapes, the mar ket has steadied and there are indications that no additional reductions of conse- quence are probable for the present. How ever, there is no eagerness to place con tracts. While t Is well known that q large amount of new machinery is speci- fled in plants in course of erection. or contemplated. there Is an inclination to delay the placing of contracts as long as piaced abroad. presumably because of early shipment required. while rebate of duty on materials for manufacture and export encouraged foreign trade, which has begun to revive as the domestic mar. ket quiets.

Lord 6 Thomas's Calendar.

The issuing of a yearly calendar dating from July to June instead of from Janu- ary to December Is a novelty inaugural ed some years since by Lord & Thomas, the 35-year-old advertising agency of Chicago and New York.
 Their new Autographed calendar for the succeeding twelve-month is received, with that most fortuitous of mottoes, Advertise Judiciously,' standing boldly out in gold and colors. indicative of the proclivities of Messrs. Lord & Thomas in the promotion of their clients interest.
 It is a fact well known among general advertisers in newspaper, magazine and on the bill-boards that business intrusted to Lord & Thomas gets before the right people in the right way for effecting pro- fitable results. They give the same care to the small advertisers as to the greater, and have developed many of the present day successes from very moderate begin ings. That is advertising judiciously They furnish preliminary plans for an advertising campaign without charge to all who solicit their help.

WORK OF COMMITTEE
THE SENATORS MAY ADJOURN
 TODAY.
Legislators in Recess Have Prepared Number of Bills-Considerat- ion of Measure for Local
 Taxation.

The Senate Recess Committee which has been in session several weeks at the capitol will probably adjourn this after noon. The committee will reconvene be- fore the meeting of the Legislature as its work is not yet completed.
 The committee. a member said yester- day. had written the body. the subject mater of practically all the bills which it would submit to tn, Legislature in September. The provisions of the bills had been drawn up, he said. the com mittee had not prepared the title of some of the measures.
 The principal work of the committee will be in the preparation of the titles and headings of the measures already drawn up. The committee, it was stated, would continue its work of harmonizing the bills already drawn up. The committee has already searched out and removed many of the inconsistencies and contradictions in the prepared bills. This work will go on after the reassembling of the commit tee.
 The committee was last engaged upon the preparation of bill relative to local taxation for school purposes. The ques- tion of local taxation for school purposes Is one in which the school men of the State are deeply interestd. The various teachers organizations have endorsed it and it is fruitful subject of discussion whenever the teachers meet It is an important propaganda of the Southern and General Educational Board. Local taxa ,tion. 1t is predicted will be the important educational issue of the future.
 The new constitution contains a pro- vision that the Legislature could provide a means for securing local taxation to community that might desire it. The proposition was hard fought in the last Constitutional Convention. A strong, conservative element, opposed it but it went through dnally. The Recess Com mittee set out to carry into effect that constitutional provision.
