Congressman Babcock was &C
companied here by his private
secretary, Harry Barney. The party,
including Mr. Rankin, proceeded to
Bloomington from Lancaster, where
an interested audience was ad-
dressed Thursday evening. Fenni-
more and Boscobel were visited yes
terday and the address tonight will
be at Richland Center. The tour
thus far has been most successful at
every place visited-very crafty
ing to Congressman Babcock and
tae Republican ticket IN general.
Meyer forget you ale part OF
thu town, and that your own de-
pertinent helps to make up the
strangers estimate of the place.
Sell all you can and buy all you can
at home. Every dollar that is sent
or carried away from home makes
the town that much poorer. If you
have the means invest in something
that will give somebody employ
ment. Do not kick at a proposed
improvement simply because it is
not at your door.
Official announcement was made
Saturday that the Northwestern
railway would expend $40, 1000, 900
for the building of a new terminal
passenger station in Chicago. The
new station will be one of the finest
In the United States and will be
located on Madison street, between
Canal and Clinton streets, and with
tram sheds extending as far north
as Lake street. 1t will allow a pas
senger train on the road to enter
Chicago without crossing the river
and will give the road sever time
the facilities for handling passenger
traffic it now possesses.
"A newspaper is in no sense
child of charity. 1t earns twice
over every dollar it receives, and it
is second to no enterprise in con
tributing to the upbuilding of
community. It's patrons reap far
mole benefits from its pages than
its publishers, and in calling for the
support of the community in which
it Is published, it asks for no more
than in all fairness belongs 20 it,
though generally it receives less.
Patronize and help your paper as
you would any other enterprise be-
cause it helps you, and not as an
act of charity.
"A perfect town is that in which
you see the farmer patronizing the
home merchants, the laborers spend
ing the money they earn with their
own tradesmen, and all animated
Dy a spirit that will not purchase
articles abroad if they can be
bought at home. The spirit of
reciprocity between man and the
mechanic, tradesman and manu-
facturer, results every time In MAX
ing the town a perfect one to do
business in. Perfection should
always be desired, even where at
tainment is barely possible, we
presume, but a perfect town must
be denominated a great rarity until
we reach a more advanced stage
toward the millennium than has
yet been gained.
Notwithstanding the inclement
weather that kept hundreds of peo-
pie away, large and appreciative
audience greeted Congressman Bah
cock and A. G. Rankin at the opera
house Tuesday evening. It was the
opening gun of the campaign and
was we'll received. Atty. Fl. E.
Carthew acted as chairman of the
meeting and made preliminary re
marks that were we'll received.
Congressman Babcock followed in a
we'll defined outline of his pol cy
and gave good and sufficient reasons
why Republican should he elected
to congress from this district at
the coming election. His remarks
met with frequent applause and he
made many newIsadmirers. Rankin
the iron moulder orator, has spoken
in Lancaster on previous occasions
and has always left a favorable inn
preston here. His latest effort,
however, eclipsed all former ad-
dresses, and the manner in which
he clinched Republican principles
as outlined by the present situation
politically was commendable to
great degree. At the close of the
address Observation-Disclosures Justify
and Congressman Babcock was
given the opportunity of meeting
many old friends as we'll as new
