The Last Ex-President.

We have now for the first time in
more than one hundred years no liv-
ing ex-president. For the two last
years of John Adams term he had no
living predecessor, Washingtons
death occurring in 1899. Adams and
Jefferson lived through the terms of
Madison and Monroe. John Quincy
Adams lived through the administra-
tons of Jackson, Van Buren,, Harrison.
Tyler and nearly through that of Polk.
Van Buren,, who was inaugurated in
1887, lived until 1862, being alive dur
ing part of Lincoln's term. Three
other ex-presidents living at that time
survived the civil war period, Buch-
anan dying in 1868, Pierce in 1869 and
Fillmore in 1874 General Grant was
alive during Hayes and Arthurs adj
ministrations, dying in the first year
of Cleveiand's first term. Hayes and
Cleveland were ex-presidents- while
President Harrison was in Office, and
Cleveland and Harrison were the
"eX's" in the first Mckinley term.
In view of the fact that a number of
The presidents have been men of ad-
vanced years when elected, it is
rather remarkable that the situation
following the death of Washington has
never required till now. In all human
probability it will not exist soon again
after the retirement of Mr.. Roosevelt
since he is a man comparatively young
and likely 20 live through several ad
ministrations.
But the problem of what to do with
our ex-presidents, which is brought up
for periodical discussion. will never
be troublesome because of their mum
Der at any given time.

Prince Having a Time This Year.

Congressman George w. Prince who
representative from the Rock Island
district has a fight on his hands this
year, as witness the attached from the
Quincy Herald:
Can George w. Prince of Gales

satisfaction and opposition in his own
party and an organized attack of the
united democratic party with a strong
candidate who is willing to make an
active canvass, be reelected to repre-

gressional district? This is a ques.
ton which is causing the Knox coun.

days and an abundance of sleepless
nights.
Prince has always been far from

Ito secure some strong republican to
consent to become candidate. How.
ever, the fact that the state will soon
be redistricted is usually taken into
consideration by prospective candi-
dates and they prefer to wait until
the legislature has mapped out dis
ltrict which will be held intact at least
10 years.
"The Fifteenth district, composed of
Adams, Fulton, Schuyler, Knox and
Henry counties, was laid out as a bull
wark for the republican party So far
the hopes of the politicians have been
fulfilled and no marked inroads have
been made into the majorities rolled
lup by the republican party. In 1902
Prince defeated J. w. Olson by ma
jority of 1854; in 1904, the year of
| the Roosevelt ratification throughout
the country and the democratic de-
liberalization in Illinois, Prince defeat
staggering majority of 1868, while
in 1906, an off year, Prince defeated
Hiram N Wheeler of this city by a
majority of 5,7S4.

the district and had not had time to
make the political enemies he now
has; in 1904 Roosevelt carried every.
thing before him and the state demo
cratic ticket made but little pretense
of fight; in 1906 the campaign was
devoid of enthusiasm and even Adams
county, in an off year, swung into the
Republican column.
"The campaign of 1908 is about to
be fought and it behooves Prince and
| his cohorts TO stand to their guns
The republican national ticket under

From the next room came the rasp-

record was when We Are Married"
1t had been Letty's favorite in the old
days. and her eyes frightened as the
familiar strains were borne in upon
her consciousness.
When to this was added a second
sign as an itinerant band struck up
the wedding march from "Lohengrin"
her doubts were fully dispelled With
little cry of gladness she held out
her hands to Travis, who caught them
in his own.

their dream of bliss. Letty's brother.

was talkin' to the bandman on the
corner

do that?" asked Lefty, with interest.
Bob nodded as he received a coin
from Travis. and then he vanished
from the room.
''Since you must have a sign i made
my own" explained Travis, anxiously
searching her face.
And I'm glad you did," said Lefty
simply, her face still aglow with hap
pines.
