But what has ali this to do with the
real, issue j before the Republicans Of
Cairo md Alexander county, and OF
the Twenty-fifth congressional dis
trict OF Illinois? The matter at issue
before them is not one Of men, but o.
methods, not who shall be the nomi'
nee? but In what manner shall he be
named? The Issue rises far above
the head of the best man In the race
whoever he may be or shall be. u is
whether or not all the voters OF the
party shall have an opportunity to
exercise the highest privilege 81
American citizenship. or be deprived
OF that right through the machina-
tions OF self-constituted bosses who
claim to hold In trust the peoples
minds and tongues, to think for them
and speak for them as may best suit
their own ends.
The election has been called.
There is no longer any excuse for IN
action. The demand SO strongly pre-
scented BY the representative citizens
OF this city and county last week, and
which has found voice in all parts OF
the district, ought to be promptly
complied with.

A scientific forecast Of how the end
Of the world might come has been
given BY Prof. Ellard Gore, His theory
ii that final cataclysm may POSSIBLY
be the result OF collision between
the sun and some dark dead, derelict
planet. Although astronomers nave
no actual proof that such dead suns
exist. without life or light. and career
ing about In space, they believe u
quite possible, The result OF col
lision between the sun and dark
planet would be that the formers
light and heat would be enormously
increased and the earth instantly de-
stroyed by combustion. Prof. Gore
tells how we should be warned OF our
approaching doom. when about lou,'
900. 900 miles from the sun the dark
body would begin to shine by reflected
light. In about ten years II would
have become SO bright as to be visible
10 the naked eye. In l5 years 1t would
be brighter than any object except the
moon. Very soon afterward would
come the great catastrophe of its col
lision moving at 400 miles second

her fiye-dollar bill which he asked
her to turn into the treasury with his
compliments. AS she thanked him. he
said: How do you know how

tainted" She looked at the money
for a moment, and then folded it up
and put it in her purse, as she an
'swered: mo money can be SO bad
that It cannot be- fnnngated In passing
