The State Fight.

Deneen for denomination is moi
formidable. That many of the
professional politicians are open
~ opposed to him has reacted tt
the benifit of the governor
Judge McEwen of Chicago is
proving q weak candidate and is
ginning no strength. While he
expected to rob Deneer of some
OF the latter's support, it has de.
veIoped that Deneen has main
tanned the support McEwen ex.
pected to ta Ike from him. and
that McEwen controls only tina,
little cOterie which was RESPONSE.
BILE for his candidacy. Speaker
Shurtleff of Marengo, is by all
odds he most formidable oppo.
nent D4neen has. The spe;. ker
has some following. and must be
reckoned with as factor in the
fight. If there is a plan to com:
bine the McEwen and Shurlleff
strength and when the Deneen
and anti-Deneen test comes. it is
highly probable that the two
forces will com bine for Shurtleff
but even with this strength the
Deneen opposition could not com
mand sufficient support to over
come the personal and political
support in the republican party
which stands ready to give De
neen the denomination. Deneen
has form dabIe organization sup
port. He has the support o. his
official engine, and unless the
opposition can com bine on some
more formidable candidate than
is now in the field, it looks al.
most certain that the Illinois de-
mocracy will have Deneen tc
contend with ia Novem Der, 1908
And the condition should not
discourage democrats. While
Deneen will be d strong republl
can candidate, he is republican
he is prominently ident. fled with
the party that has SO long main
tanned control in this state, it's
leaders no longer hesitate to con
slider popular interests, bur fgh,
Tor nominations with such bitter
ness as makes it obvious that
they consider nominations equiv.
alent to election.
There is hope for democratic
victory. The voters of this state
have seen the scram BILE for per.
sonal gain, and The interests oil
the state have been relegated in
struggle between political fac.
tlons. The voters have seen the
state Legislature controlled by re-
publican cliques fighting Iegisla
ton essential to The promotion OF
publlc interests The voters have
seen the constant Wranglng be
tween these factions in and out
of the legislature. They have
seen the republican party in this
State drunk with power
With a strong ticket in the
field and with the issues put
squarely before the people of the
state, it is not only possible that
Illinois can be returned to the
democratic column, but it is prob
able. In recent elections over
100, 900 voters have remained
away from the p lis. They have
voluntarily dlsfranchised them
selves because they were disgust

Quincy has the famous Gem City
Business College," the greatest in the
country. Her white citizens, as well
as col0red ones, are the most gener-

tive proof that something is wrong
with your digestive organs. They are
becoming weak and tagged out There
is a lack of gastric and other digestive
juices. The food is no longer prop

load on your stomach, so that nearly
every meal causes you misery AMI dis

means that you have dyspepsia in
some form and may have had it for
some time, though you didn't realize
it.

Three Veteran Masons Here to
Attend Funeral in Accord
ance With Agreement.
WAS MADE rs YEARS AGO.
MAJOR l.. A. FooTE, DANIEL Nc
DONALD, MARTIN n. RICE AND
CHRISTIAN FETTA WE'RE big
FOUR" OF INDIANA MASONRY.
indianapolis Starr

Maj L. A. Foote of Charlottesville.
Representative Daniel Mcdonald of
Plymouth and Martin H. Rice of In
dianapolis, three veteran Masons of
Indiana, will go to Richmond this
morning to fulfill promise they
made to a friend twenty-five years
ago.
Foote and Mcdonald were at the Oc-
cidental Hotel last night. For years
Christian Fetta, who is dead at Rich
mond. with Foote, Mcdonald and Rice,
formed what is known among MasOns
as the big four" All were past
grand masters of the order. Martin
II. Rice is the oldest past grand mas
ter now living in Indiana. Christian
Fetta came next and Foote was the
third of the quartet. Mcdonald, who
became grand master in 1879, was the
fourth.
Many years ago we four men made
an agreement that each should attend
the others funeral" said Maj. Foote
last night.
And | am here to keep that agree
ment," said Mcdonald.
That is my business here" said
Toote.
Last night Foote, Mcdonald and
Rice met at the Occidental Hotel and
talked over the old days of Masonry.
Maj. Foote has been a Mason since
1S49. Mcdonald went into the order
in 1861, when the membership in In
diana numbered about $4,000.
For years." said Maj Foote, this
big four crowd stood alone. Men
who were grand masters before us died
and were buried. Others who had been
grand masters after our administration
passed away. But our quartet remain
ed unbroken. Christian Fetta is the
first to require the keeping of the
pledge we made long ago."

1t Is the First of a Series to
Teachers During the
Winter Season.
PLAN PROVES A SUCCESS.
PASSAGE OF NEW LAWS is BUT
HALF THE BATTLE AS THEIR
SPIRIT is YET TO BE WROUGHT
INTO THE PEOPLE,.

Fassett A Cotton, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, has just
issued the first of his series of winter
bulletins to the schools of the State.
This makes the fifth year that the bull.
letin system has been in use and the
superintendent in the current issue
calls attention to the advantages of
the plan.
The degree of success with which
the bulletins have met" he writes, lis
the justification for their continuance
The primary purpose has been to keep
the department in close touch with the
teachers of the State. This has been
done and the department has constant
ly kept before the teachers it's ideals,
principles and policies.
THE department has sought to ex-
alt the calling and to attract to it the
best men and women. 1t has always
had the largest interest in and sympa-
thy for beginners and has tried to en-
courage them and point them along
correct pedagogical ways. 1t has at
tempted to make the work practical
and to suggest concrete problems
Laws Only Half the Battle.
Mr.. Cotton also calls attention to the
educational laws enacted by the last
Legislature IF the real spirit of
these laws were realized" says the
bulletin, the school system of Indiana
would deserve to rank with the best
systems in the world. But the passage
Of 10 &c h,,f ha1f tho ha r
tie. The spirit of the laws must be
wrought in the people and in the
schools The weakness of the laws
must be found and must be eradicat-
ed"
The bulletin makes special mention
of the law providing for the centraliza-
ton of schools, which already has
caused some discussion in different
parts of the State. 1.-The law provid-
ing for Capitalization" says the bulle.
TIM may be made effective in the
highest sense or it may become dead
letter If selfishness and narrowness
and lack of foresight are to prevail
then no step forward can be taken. II
the needs of the children and the de
sire to make opportunity equal fol-
town and country are to determine
then the next decade may witness ire
mendous educational progress. So this
is no time to sleep. Indiana expects
every teacher and every citizen to dc
his duty"
Mr.. Cotton makes a special plea TO:
activity on the part of the teacher
Along this line the bulletin says:
THE law creating a system of train
ing schools in the state exalts profes
sional work and makes it a part of the
teachers preparation. But this, too

Illinois Democrats Will Give
Him a Solid Delegation in
National Convention.
SULLIVAN is WITH THEM.
BREAK BETWEEN THE NATIONAL
COMMITTEEMAN AND GREAT
COMMONER SEEMS TO HAVE
PATCHED OVER.

Springfield, ILL.,, Oct. 4-The Demo
cratic factions in Illinois buried the
Ratchet and agreed to give w. J. Bry-
an the solid Illinois delegation in the
next Democratic national convention.
Representa- tives of all the factions
were here at a love feast. Above
them all doomed Roger Sullivan, the
man whose resignation from the Dem
ocratic national committee Mr.. Bryan
demanded just before returning from
his globe-encircling tour. Mr.. Bryan
seems to have changed his mind about
is for Bryan.
There's No Fight on Bryan.
Charles Boeschenstein, chairman OF
the state committee, summed up the
situation as he stood beside Sullivan
in the lobby of the St. Nicholas, where
the Democrats had gathered in large
numbers.
There is no opposition to Bryan in
Illinois," said Mr.. Boeschenstein
Some persons, perhaps, would like ii
to appear that there is fight SO that
they might profit by the resultant con
fusion and ride into power on Mr.
Bryan's popularity. But there will be
harmony in the convention
Lawrence B. Stringer of Lincoln, Ill.
who was the Democratic candidate fol-
Governor four years ago, predicted the
national convention would nominate
Bryan by reclamation, but the signifi
cant feature of the love feast was the
development that Roger Sullivan will
not oppose Bryan's nomination.
Bryan Has Turn Coors.
Sullivan is a type of the men Bryan
has loved to denounce as an exponen
of the corporations and an enemy o
the people. He demanded Sullivan
resignation from the national com.
mittee. intimating he would not &C
cept Illinois support otherwise. MI
Bryan's anticipathy to Sullivan seem
to have faded.
Carter H. Harrison is back in CHI
cago to enter politics. incidentally h
declared himself as favoring Brya
for President and J. Ham Lewis 70
Governor.

tWM.-L-. COLLINS DEAD,

William Lafayette Collins, father of
the Order of Railroad Conductors, died
this week, aged SO years. He had
been blind for many years and lost
one of his arms, but in spite of his af-
flictions he was cheerful and patient
to the end. In 1856 he conceived the
idea of forming a conductors brother
hood and his agitation of the subject
led to the formation of the order in
1858. He was grand treasurer for the
grand division for two terms and in
1875 was elected grand chief of the
order and was reelected second
time.

way association will be held in New

livery. G. l.. Peck, of Pittsburg. gen.
eral manager of the Pennsylvania
lines west, is chairman Of the commit

will be a joint conference of railroad
officials and representatives of steel
rail manufacturers. 1t is expected
that the committee at this gathering
will be able to arrive at a satisfactory
conclusion.
1t was said recently that many of
the larger railroads are anxious to
have this question settled. as they
want to place orders for new rails TO
be delivered next year. 1t is stated.
however, that no contracts will be
awarded until the committee repre-

lions. 1t was stated semi-officially
Friday that the railroads do not OBJ
ject to the Improvement types of rails
proposed by the steel makers. but
they do object to the higher prices tc
be asked for them. Heavier rails will
naturally involve larger expenditures
on the part of the railroads. but the
increased life of the heavier rails. il
is maintained by the manufacturers
will more than offset the additional
cost.

if any real progress is to be made.
Schools that are accredited must pro-
vide the very best equipment, in the
way of buildings, Libraries, training
schools and professionally trained ex-
terts as teachers. The law makes
the State Normal School the center and
the standard of the system, and no
backward step must be taken. The
spirit of these laws looks toward bet
ter teachers, and this spirit must be
kept alive. The system must not de-
terioriate into machine.
Must Never Become Perfunctory.
functory Individuality in the teach
err must be the final test. The life of
the school will forever depend upon
the teachers power of initiative. And
so these schools must all have sound
scholarship and practical pedagogy.
The plan outlined by the law can exalt
teaching and make it a real profession
or it can cheaper the calling and make
it ridiculous. 1t depends upon the
school officials of the state as to which
it shall be. If eternal vigilance as to
quality of work is exercised there can
be no doubt of the outcome
