Brieh, for Illinois Democrats.

Ex-Governor Yates, in making his
whirlwind campaign in Illinois. seems
to have enlisted popular support il:
his war upon federal interference in
Illinois politics.
And yet in estimating his chances
of success interest seems to center
mainly upon the relative strength of
the federal crowd and the Deneen
machine. The practical politicians in
Illinois are looking less to the free.
convinced voters than to the manipu-
lation of the bosses in the Chicago
wards.
The greatest oonundrum is whether
Deneen's forces in Chicago will prove
loyal to Yates and whether it can ove--
come the combine of federal office
holders who are working for Cullom
in that city.
In this situation, says the st. Louis
Republic. the voters of Illinois are
likely to cry. with Mercutio. "a plague
on both yosr houses" For this is =
year OF revolt against the bosses. and
in such Il year the people brook no
Question of their control The demo-
Gratis of Illinois have good cause for
their rising hopes of carrying the state
in November. and of eiecting half at
least, of its delegation in the Goth con-
gresS.
Let Governor Deneen's state machine
and Senator Cullom's federal machine
do their best or their worst The vo-
ters of Illinois are going to decide the
result this year, and they have small
reason to give their SURFACES to the
favorites of either republican faction

\ notable instance of the stimulative
effect of newspaper advertising upon
the banking business is reported from
Spokane. Wash. where one of the
most conservative financial institutions
of the northwest entered upon a sys-
tematic publicity campaign in 1902. On
Nov. OF that year the deposits of the
bank amounted to S1.253. 1925. On
Nov. 9. 1905. the deposits had grown to
S4.O62.34715. The increase resulted
from the publication of a six to eight
inch ''ad' across two columns. three
times week for three years. Some
bankers look upon newspaper appeal
as a sacrifice OF dignity Some fine
morning they will wake up to find that
they have all the dignity and their
advertising competitors all the depo
sits.

The upper church was St Matthew :.
the lower st. Johns. The irreverent
said the upper one was appropriately
named, st. Matthew having been n
money changer, and the church had
been built by northumberland
Mr.. GallisOn, its founder, had climb
ed the ladder of wealth from the low
est rung. He had commenced with II
fertilizer, had next turned carcasses or
parts of them into glue and had come
cut an oil producer. When he decided
10 build him castle at Daisyfield he
bought up tract on one corner of
which stood st. Johns. The founder of
st. Johns had been an aristocrat in
his day, but a different kind of one
from Mr. Gallison-an aristocrat of the
American colonies. A descendant.

young Cecil Brant. a clergyman, was
its owner and rector. Mr. Gallison
made repeated offers for the ground
or which st. Johns stood. but the own
er would not SELL Then the multimil-
liOnaire built the church OH the hill. 1t
was supposed 10 he Gods church. but
it was not; it was Mr.. Collisions
church, and it gradually absorbed st.
Johns congregation.
Mr.. Brant walked across lots by the
accustomed path TO his Easter Sunday
morning service with heavy heart.
He entered the vestry and. taking out
his watch, noticed that the time was
1925. Looking out of window, he
saw throngs flocking to the church up
on the hill. There was to be special
music by a member of the grand opera
corps, hired by Mr.. Gallison for the
occasion. 1t was known there would
be a crowd, and people were going ear
ly. At 1870 Mr.. Brant opened the
door leading in to the church Not a
soul was there.
There had been times when that
church had looked gloomy to Mr..
Brant, but nothing like this. Without.
the warm sunbeams, the chirping
birds, the opening buds, threw into
contrast the empty seats, which i'm the
rector's depressed state he could not
help likening to open graves. He was
