They knew that Uncle joe Cannon

shone as a stand patter and had en-
acted that role so long that he would
be miserable failure If cast for an
other character.
They assumed that every informed
citizen knew II. too. and therefore read
with incredulity the assertions that
Judge Taft contemplated peace
pact with the speaker Of the house.

pipe dreams" was about the consen

''The writers will wake up soon"
But 1t was the broad minded Demo-

announced by close confidants of the
president elect and with such ear

which have not been for Mr. Bryan.
1t requires no marvellous Insight TO de-
tect the beginnings of carefully PLAN

Association viii Celebrate New Years
Day by Holding an Open
House Reception.
A PROGRAM IS ARRANGED
Features of Day Will Be Athletic Ex
hIbits and Games, Music and Sale
Of Magazines.

New Years day will be fittingly OBJ
served at the Y. M. C. A. this year and
from the quantity and quality of the
entertainment that will be offered it is
probable that there will be a large
crowd attend the "open house day.
Not only many of the members of the
association are expected to be there
out large number of their friends
also. The entire afternoon will he
taken up by an exhibition of gymnas-
1um work and athletic sports and a
share of the evening will be given over
TO the same purposes. There will be
basketball, handball wrestling, aero
batic work and apparatus work. The
basketball game in the afternoon will
be played by the senior team from the
nigh school and the second team of the

game Is anticipated In the evening
the first and second teams from the
business boys class will clash.
Exhibits of Athletics.
The handball exhibition will be
given by members of the business
mems class. There are some excel
lent players among the men in this
class and there will be a good exhibit
ton of the game. The regular classes
in charge of Physical Director Franks
will furnish the gymnastics for the
occasion
The association helpers have plan
ned luncheon which will be served
from 5: 80 to $3.50 in the chapel. In
former years a mere lunch consisting
of coffee and sandwiches was thought
all that was necessary on New Years
day, but this time there will be some
thing more toothsome and substantial.
During the supper hour and for an
hour afterwards there will be orches-
ira music.
To Sell Magazines.
After the game of basketball which
follows the supper. the annual auction
sale of the magazines bought by the
association during the year will take

FIND MANY FLAWS
County Superintendent Criticise Re-
port of the Illinois Education
Commission.
PRESENT FORMAL REPORT
Provides for State Board Of Education
Expected Teachers Will GEN.
orally Approve.

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 3O.-The state
educational commission yesterday rec
commended radical changes in the edu-
caional system of the state. The bill
which the commission drafted is ex-
pected to have the support of the Illi-
nois State Teachers association, which
opened it's convention yesterday.
By the terms of the bill state
board of education, consisting of nine
members, will be chosen at the No
vember election in 1910. The state
superintendent of public instruction is
chairman ex-officio, and the other
eight will be chosen, two to serve four
years, three for two years, and the
other three for six years. Thereafter
each one chosen will serve six years.
Power to Make General Rules.
The board is to be vested with pow
err to make general rules for the SUI
pervision of the inspection of the
schools, to govern the distribu-
ton of the general school
fund, to provide courses of study, to
control the teachers, examinations, and
to cooperate with the board OF health
in movement looking toward the i'm
provement of the sanitary conditions.
The State Association of County SUI
perintendents made many objections
to the recommendation of the educa-
tional commission appointed by Gov
ernor Deneen. w. E. Herbert of Liv-
ingston county, the retiring president
of the association, opposed the pro-
posed enactment. His remarks seem
ed to meet with the approval of most
of those present.
New Officers Elected.
The following officers of the asso-
citation were elected: President, C. n.
Stone, Peoria county; vice president,
Henry Jacobs, Cass county; secretary,
