PRAIRIE STATE
SHEEN FOR PRESIDENT
Peoria Prohbitionists Urge Nomination OF
Well Known Leader and Ex-Legislator

PEORIA ILL, February e-(Special correspond
ence).-The Hon. Dan R. Sheen candidate for
President of the United States on the Prohib-
ton ticket, is the slogan of Peoria county Proh-
bitionists who met in convention here today. The
boom for Sheen was launched by proper resou-
ton, calling upon the state convention to endorse
him as the favorite son of Illinois.
Mr. Sheen is distinguished lawyer and
wealthy citizen of this city, and has lived in the
county all his life. He was elected on the Pro-
hbition ticket to the legislature in 1904 and in
the campaign of 1906 received 1000 more votes
for the same office than he did in the previous
election but was defeated by small margin.
In the last city campaign he was candidate for
mayor and polled 1000 more votes than the Re-
publican nominee, but was defeated by the Demo-
crat.
Mr.. Sheen is an orator of great ability and
would make a worthy candidate for the Prohib
zionist party He is fifty-six years of age and
has wife thoroughly in sympathy with the Pro-
hibition cause, but no children. Peoria wants
Sheen to be nominated. =
The convention elected delegates to the state
convention, framed up the county ticket for the
August primary, received instructions on the new
primary law, raised a county fund, and heard
two speeches by E. w. Chain of Chicago.

long time chairman of Cayuga county, liberal
contributor to all Prohibition work and hard
worker for the cause departed from life.
Mr.. Barrus, account of advanced years, has
not been able to carry as large part of the bur-
den of party work in this county for some time
past, and has been succeeded as county chairman
by Mr. Chas B. Weaver but he has continued
to represent the county in the state committee
The county committee and all Prohibition
workers of this section of the state are unit IN
expressions of deep regret and of sympathy with
the bereaved, invalid wife who is left alone by
Mr. Barrus' death.

as the reenrollment matter is complete and the
holding of reorganization meetings commences.
Warren County =.
The Warren county Prohibition committee, at
a meeting last week, elected one of the countys
leading workers, Harry c. Sweet, prominent
business man of Glens Falls, as chairman in the
place of c. H. Bent, who for some months could
give the work attention and has resigned.
Mr.. Sweet Immediately notified Chairman Pitts
that he has reported for duty, and requested
re-enroment supplies. Warren county makes no
error in selecting Mr.. Sweet.

by election districts is going rapidly forward,
arrangements having now been completed in fifty
counties of the sixty-one for pushing it through.
Over 700 letters have been sent out in regard to
1t, explaining many details, and one by one the
county chairmen have fallen into line or arranged
with another to do the work. 1t is expected
that within ten days arrangements for handling
the reenrollment in every county (outside of
Greater New York, where the primary election
law supplies the enrollment) will be completed.
However, delay in securing cooperation of many
chairmen held matters back full month
But the reenroment booklets, containing
blanks upon which to report deaths, removals
from state, removals in state, new converts,
division of revised enrolment by election dis
trcts with samples and careful directions as
well as envelopes to be used in sending them
out and having them returned, also earnest let
tiers to accompany them, and second letter for
the county chairman to send to those who do
not answer promptly, are on the press. Mr..
Pitts is also preparing sheets and directions for
use of chairmen in tabulating the returns" as
they come in from the various districts, so as to
keep track of every Prohibitonist
The work has been seriously hindered from
lack of funds, but if every chairman and his
assistant push with a WILL there is no reason
why, before April l. the reenrolment by election
districts may not be completed and the holding
OF reorganization meetings be we'll under way
Most of the charmen have made preliminary
off hand" corrections to the enrolment and
returned it, and Mr. Pitts is having a large
number OF copies made, that the chairmen NAV
have enough lists to send the various workers
assisting in the revision. With but half the
lists back containing only this "superhciar' cor
rectlon, over 1000 names have had to come out
OF the card index, 1000 more go on, and even
more than that number be transferred" Over
two-thirds of the names of one county are
wrong When the individual canvassers begin
to report, the detail work will be enormous but
If each county chairman carefully follows the
plans indicated by the supplies, it will not be
difficult.

We must get our enrolled by election

as possible put district chairman in charge
OF each with a roster of his men, and then begin
the supplying of them with supplies. But the
work is costly, and we must have help at once
Now is the time. If we mean business, let's
get down to business.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT

Having been appointed by the Hon. Alonzo E.
Wilson, state chairman, to fill out the unexpired
term of Mrs. J. A. Lucas as chairman of the
Woman's Prohibition Club of Illinois, desire to
urge upon the women Prohibitionists of Illinois
the necessity of organization for work in the
cause that is in these days assuming magnificent
proportion.
There is not locality in this state but might
have a Woman's Club to secure votes for the
greatest reform known for many centuries, and
the coming campaign is close at hand it is
important that this work be done at once.
1t has been arranged by the state committee
that any money raised by the club may be re-
tanned to meet local expenses. And information
desired touching this important matter I will free
ly give. Mrs CARRIE PARKINSON,

GOOD PHILOSOPHY,

Man is little cuss and hasn't
long to stay. He flies around and
makes fuss and then he hikes away
Some men imagine they are great and
try TO tear up jack, but each one meets
the same old fate and trots the same
old track. Great Caesars dead and
turned TO clay and so is Cicero. Alex
ander has gone the way the rest of US
must go. The sages, poets, heroes, all
the men of worth into an open grave
must fall and crumble back to earth
Then let's not join the mad ARRAY and
struggle like the deuce, and agonize
our lives away for really what's the
use. Lets live and love and sing the
while and work some now and then,
and give to everyone a smile that
cheers the hearts Of men, And wheth.
er We are crowned with flowers OF
chilled with winter SHOWS, with hap
piness let's fill the hours ere we turn
up our toes"

Ex-president Cleveland makes plea

of ex-presidents. He declares that
there is certain amount of expensive
dignity shouldered upon the man who

with financial sinew he is liable to be
embarrassed. There have been no
notable cases in recent years, but the
early history of our country shows
suggestive examples. The great

the Office and his friends and relatives

SLAUGHTER OF THE iNNocENTs

Here is a story from Philadelphia
that may cause some of us to have
different ideas of the staid old Quaker
town
1t seems that at the coming out of
Miss Mary Astor Paul, given by her
father, one of Philadelphia aristo-
cratic millionaries, the affair to be pro-
portionately impressive, was to cost
in the neighborhood of 100000.
The bali was given in horticultural
hall, which place was converted into
veritable fairyland. The flowers
used in the decorations alone are said
to have cost $4,000. Over thousands
were spent for the importation of 1900
butterflies from South America and
the West Indies, men having been sent
out months ago to capture them in the
wilds.
About midnight the swarm of beau.
tiful insects Were released in the big
ball ROOM The dancers stopped in
the giddy whirI with EXPLANATIONS OF
delight. The butterflies fiuttered
among the flowers, palms and snilaz
and then yielded to the seductive arc
lights, where many OF them were
burned to death. Others fell helpless

WOMEN MAY SMOKE.

One of the most popular restaurants
in New York, entirely respectable
! though not smart or swell, allowed
women to smoke in its public dining
rooms On New Years eve. The pro-
prietor announced that the permission
would be continuous hereafter, if no
unpleasant consequences followed.
If women are going to smoke at all,
there is no reason on earth why they
should not smoke wherever men do
Tobacco smoking is not vice. 1t is
simply rather nasty habit, tolerated
in men by custom and objected to in
women for want of custom. 1t is no
nastier for women than for men, once
you get rid of the old notion that wo-
men are the nicer of the two.
The old notion seems to make life
pleasanter for women as well as to
| contribute to the supreme purpose of
the race, but women have been grow
ing impatient of it as a patronizing de-
gredation. They must do every thing
that men do, be it nasty or not If the
men don't like it, they can give up for
themselves the things they dislike in
| women.
But it is not a question of women
! smoking. That has been settled for
the highest class and the lowest,
which establish, the standard They
may smoke if so inclined, but hereto
fore, their smoking was not to occur
in decent public rooms, though man
could. That was distinctly unfair, and
could not last. No logical basis is at
tached to it. 1t is better for them to
smoke in hotels than in their own
houses, and in dining rooms than in
their bed rooms
Let us not deny our women every
privilege they want, but let US KEEP
our homes as clean as possible, as
long as an occasional child enters
them. Women smoke the nasties
thing ever invented for that purpose
and want of use makes them little
unhandy at it.
By all means encourage them to d.
it in public places, with plenty of ell
bow room, and receivers and trained
service to clean up after them.
