DR.. J. A. Wheeler
Game Commissioner

Probably there is not a more
sagacious politician in Illinois,
than DR.. ] A. Wheeler of Au-
burn, our creditable and efficient
state game commissioner.
Dr.. Wheeler has filled this res
ponsible position most ably and
has the state game farm in a bet
ter condition than ever before
it is beautiful place and re-
markable one. This farm is con-
sidered one of the finest in the
country. 1t takes such a man as
DR.. Wheeler to meet the require
ments encountered upon such an
officer
DR.. Wheeler is a real success
full man politically, having never
been defeated for office; yet hav-
ing held many places of impor-
lance, elected by the people. He
served one term as member of
the legislature, being elected
November 6, 'O2 He is the
present mayor Of Auburn, and
has served in that capacity for
several consecutive terms. He
was secretary Of the state cen
trail committee and in all these
positions, filed the places not
only creditably. but satisfactory
ly. What Dr.. Wheeler aspires
for he generally gets and. is
therefore a rod and staff to the
Republican party instead of an
office seeker The leaders of
the Republican party are consid-
ering Dr.. Wheeler as the best
and most available man to put up
for sheriff of this county to sue
coed Charles Werner, While
there is some time yet before a
vacancy occurs. it is..not too early
to consider man for that i'm
portant place.
If he should accept, there is no
be ter man TO be found in the
county for that place. la fact
DR.. Wheeler is capable for most
any place and is a credit to our
party.
We shall make a visit to the
game farm soon and have ser
ial article thereof.

Ex-senator Mason.

VIM. e. Mason is gaining
ground every day in his fight to
succeed Albert j. Hop kins, the
Reed Smoot adherent in the
United States Senate. 1t seems
as if Hopkins blunder is to cost
him his seat in the senate and
we'll it should after the protests
made by the loyal women of our
state against Smoot having a seat
in the senate. Hopkins erred.
We know of no better man to
wear the senatorial toga than ex
Senator Billy Mason. His
record in that body is wildly re-
membered and we see no reason
why he should not be elected.

Sherman Can
Beat Caldwell.

Now that l.. Y Sherman, the
lieutenant governor of Illinois, is
resident Of the 2lst congress
sional district, we have a man
who eau beat Congressman Ben
F.. Caldwell, the present lncum-
bent. whose term expires March
4, %, but who must run again
and be voted for at the election
to be held in Nov. 1908. Mr.
Sherman has held many impor
tant positions over the state and
is one of the ablest lawyers of
the state, shrewd politician and
considered the ablest parlamen.
tartan in the country.
The Forum will be pleased to
have Mr.. Sherman become can.
didate for Congress and feel sure
that man of his sagacity and
known worth, can be elected.
This district will fell highly hon
ored to even have Mr.. Sherman
run for the place and will be still
more honored should he be elect
ed. 1t is conceded that Sherman
is one if not the ablest politician
in the state. He is a scholar of
note and an historian of rare dis
tiEction. He is known over the
entire state as potential factor
in the political arena. He has
been candidate once or more
for governor and has served on
the bench with special distinc-
ton.
AS speaker of the Illinois low
er house, he was considered the
best Illinois ever had AS lieu
tenant governor, he is ex officio
presiding officer of the senate.
In case Sherman is elected to
Congress, he will be the best
westerner we know of to succeed
the Hon. Joe Cannon as speaker
of the national house, and Mr..
Sherman can fill that place with
as much dignity and solemnity as
his honor, Joseph G. Cannon.
the man from Vermillon county.
We move that Sherman be the
unanimous choice of the Republi-

4 PRACTICAL WORK.

The Agricultural and Mechani-
cal College does not propose to put
forth untried theories or indulge in
agricultural stunts on paper, but
to give the farmers the benefit of
actual experience and experiments
and tests made on all kinds of
soils, and to explain the character
OF fertilizers which are adapted to
the different kinds, and the crops
that can best be grown on them.
Chemical analysis of any soil
will unerringly reveal what constit-
uents are present in too large or
too small quantities, and knowl- |
edge ct what elements are neces- !
sary to the successful growth of
different products will enable the
farmer to prepare for every crop he
desires to raise.

WIT IS GOOD MUSLC2

A musical critic said recent,
that 1t made him feel like commit,
ting suicide to hear people singing
and whistling popular airs in pref,
erence to classical music. An old
fashioned country music teacher
who went to city TO hear a IA
nous choir, pronounced the music
execrable and offered his services
to teach and train them till they
learned how to sing. What seems
sweet music to one of these men is
harsh and disagreeable discord to
the other. Is there any standard
by which to determine which of the
two was right? The critics claim
that a musical education is neces-
sary to enable one to appreciate
good music. But the number who
have the time or the opportunity
to secure such an education is but
a small percentage of the lovers of
music.
The best music is that which
affords the greatest pleasure to the
greatest number of people. This
was the standard adopted by
appointed to compile
hymnal for one of the leading re-
igious denominations. Instead of
'eing guided by their individual
astes, they procured copies of all
he hymn books of all denomina.
ions. Only one hymn, "Rock of !,
ages" was found in all, so it was |
laced at the head of the list as
he greatest of all hymns in the !
'nglish language. "Jesus, Lover d
My Soul" was found in all but
vo or three and it was given the h
'oond place. The result of this e
ethod was the best hymnal ever :
iblished. n

STAGE FRIGHT.
Actors Have Been Known to Die From

Perhaps the most terrible malad,

Through its evil effects strong men and

overwhelming sensation induced by
stage fright had attacked his heart
and his theatrical career ended thus
even at its beginning.
Quite as CHASTITY was the case OF the
young amateur actress who. strangely
enough, had never experienced stage
fright when playing with her fellow

appearance. She went through the
