ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS.


In their state convention yesteI day
at Springfield the Illinois Republicans
did a good days work for their party
throughout the state. and part OF that
work will be OF interest to the people
OF the whole country. The convention
framed a Platform which is in line
with the position taken by the Repub-
leans of the nation on the great Is
sues of the time. 1t presented Speak
er Cannon to the rest Of the Repub-
leans OF the country as Illinois choics
for the presidential nomination in
1908; urged the reelection. By the
Legislature of Shelby Il. Cullom to the
senate. and nominated John F. Smuls-
XII for state treasurer. Francis G..
Blair for superintendent of public in
structlon. and Mrs. Carrie 5. Alexan-
der. Fred Hatch, Alexander McLain
and l.. /. Lehman tshort term) for
trustees OF the state university.
Illinois is Republican state. The
ticket put up at Springfield for the
suffrages OF the people IN November
will be elected Senator Cul.om Will
be chosen for another term. At the
completion OF that term. In 1918. Mr..
Cullom will have been thirty years In
The senate, a duration which has been
exceeded by very few persons. Mr.
Cannon has the advantage In being
placed In the field for the nomination
Of 1908 earlier than any other presi-
Dental asplrant Neither Indiana,
Ohio nor any other state has, in a
state convention, announced any fav-
orite son for the candidacy two years
hence. Mr.. Cannon thus Is put for
ward for the big Office early enough
to give his boom a momentum which
will be likely TO count for a good deal
"a the presidential convention.
In 1904 Roosevelt carried Illinois
by 305.O0O, which was far ahead OF
any margin ever gained by candidate
previous to that time In that state.
The largest before that year was Nc
Kinley's 142 900 lead In 1896. Meth
er Of these figures will be reached by
the nominees for minor state Offices
which we're named at Springfield yes
terday. But the Republican candi-
date for state treasurer in 1902 rolled
up a plurality Of $4,000. Mr.. Smuls-
XII will probably do as well as this.
Illinois, like the rest of the country.
has been vastly benefited by the pol
icy Of the Republican party. and It
will show its appreciation Of this faet
In a practical way in the coming e.ec-
ton. The majority for the Spring
field ticket on November will show
that Illinois retains her place near the
head Of the republican procession.

First Use of Potatoes In Ireland.

In the garden adjoining his house Mt
Youghal, Raleigh planted the first po-
tatoes ever grown in Ireland. The veg
etable was brought to him from the
little colony which he endeavored to
establish In Virginia. The colonists
started in April, 1885, and Thomas
Harriet, one OF their number, wrote a
description Of the country in 1857. He
describes root which must have
been the potato:
"Opcnank are kind Of roots of
round form. some of the blgnesse OF
wamuts, some fare greater, which are
found in moist & marish grounds grow
ing many together one by another in
ropes, as though they were fastened
with a string Being boiled they are
very good meat"
The Spaniards first brought potatoes
to Europe, but Raleigh was undoubted-
ly the first to introduce the plant into
Ireland.

rome II pressing against their backs at
the waist and bracing their feet against
the tree or pole, and, leaning back
against the rope, walk right up the
mole as the illustration shows. The
secret OF the whole thing is to keep
step. or, rather, keep step with alternate
feet While one boy raises his right
foot the other boy advances his left
foot both keeping time. 1t Is really
very simple, perfectly safe, and 1t looks
like a difficult circus feat. Remember

BUSINESS SENSE.

Too many clerks and not enough

The sheriff Is always making googoo

your competitor. Take the lead for a

Many succeed because they advertise
correctly and ever so many fail because
they don't.

you can do it, although it is perfectly
safe as long as the directions are fol
