ILLINOIS CAPITALIST is
DIRECT PRIMARY ADVOCATE
New Plan May Not Bring the MiIlen-

Bosses

Hon. Morton D. Hull member of the
Illinois assembly, close friend of Gov
ernor Deneen and millionaire who is
deeply interested in civic matters, ad-
dressed the City club Saturday on di-
rect primaries.
"There is in the east" he said, "a
growing consciousness that popular
government must be government of
public opinion.
I'VE must control our public SER
wants rather than let a few make SER
wants Of the people and the party.
Direct primaries will not bring any
millennium. but they will keep checker
shirted politicians from defying the
will of the people.
Party men and bosses throw up
their hands at the very mention of
direct primaries. That is one of the
reasons why it must be an experiment
worth trying.
1.-THE bosses say it will disrupt the
party organization and substitute plu-
rality rather than majority rule in
party affairs.

NEW GASOLINE
ENGINE HERE
MORROW DOUBLE TWo-cYcLE
REvoLUTIoNlZEs
is LIGHT WEIGHT AND OF HIGH
POWER
Experts from All Parts of the World
Declare 1t Marks an Epoch
in Construction Of
Machines

Entirely new in every feature of gas
oIine engine equipment and construc-
ton, and bound to revolutionize the
question of power, are some OF the
PRAISES sounded in the favor Of the
Morrow double two-cycle gasoline en-
CINE being built by ]. G. Bates at his
machine shop at $50 North Main street
for the inventor, w. l.. Morrow.
Although only $50 pounds in weight,
this engine registers twenty-eight
horsepower. This lightness of weight
is unusual. as the average gasoline en-
CINE registering twenty horsepower
only weighs $500 pounds.
Not only this, but the double two
cycle engine, through it's absolutely
rev style of structure, has four times
the efficiency of the average gasoline
engine of same size. That Is, with the
average gasoline engine with 1000 revo-
buttons per minute 1t strikes 800 times,
while with this Morrow double two
cycle engine, N a thousand revolutions
a minute, it strikes 1000 times.
There are two explosions for every
revolution" explained J. G. Bates yes
terday, leach piston exploding inde-
pendently. Some of the other features
of this engine are as follows: The en-
CINE takes in new charge of fresh air
every time. There are no valves IN tnls
engines The pistons open and close
their own ports. 1t Is always on COM
preston and furnishes the greatest
amount of power with the minimum
amount of fuel because of it's having
perfect combustion"
w. L. Morrow, the inventor, who is
new living in Stockton, Cal, is going
to move to Los Angeles to make his
boune in the near future.
Experts on gasoline engines from all
ever the world who examined the Nor
row double two-cycle engine at San
Francisco told the inventor after see
ing the mechanism operate that he
was the only inventor in gasoline en-
gines for the past twenty-five years. all
the other gasoline engines being some
improvements on old methods of con-
struction, while this was absolutely
along new lines.
1--WE are expecting to apply it to au-
tomobiles and motorcycles with re-
markable success" said ]. G. Bates In
conclusion. land think that we will
revolutionize engines for those ma
chimes"

PARENTS
Rents Store for SIPS Month, but
Does Not Get Lease, and Now
May Lose His

One of Los Angeles young business
men is in trouble and he threatens to
take his tribulations into the courts.
His name is Abe Potiker, known
throughout the business district as the
'candy boy"
Abe, who is not yet II years old. came
to America from Hungary about two
years ago with his sister. The two
lived in Cleveland, Ohio, for some
months and then Abe came to Los An
geles, where he began business a candy
merchant, carrying his goods with him
in a basket and going from store to
store.
He told his troubles yesterday.
You see, quit tina. candy business"
he said, because / thought 1 could
make more money in something else. I
have father and mother, four broth
ers and two sisters in Hungary and
have to send money to them every
week. My father is cripple and times
are bad there"
Abe exhibited a number of money
order receipts showing remittances to
his parents in Kassia, Hungary.
Rents Store
"Well, January 80 1 rented a little
place at 1903 South Spring street, where
started post card store. L paid $175
for the first months rent and also $50
store. The real estate man told me
he would give me a lease for year,
but I paid the money before the lease
was signed. That's where 1 made a
mistake.
ST started in business February
and have spent more than $500. I be-
gan doing a good business right away,
but the man who sells me the cards
came to me two days ago and wanted
me to lend him $3.50. I told him No,
can't do it. / need the money in my
business and that made him angry.
HE went to the real estate man and
told him many things about me and
the real estate man sent a man to my
place and told me l had to get out.
81 don't think that is business" he
said positively. IF / thought 1 wasn't
going to get lease on that place I
would not have rented it.
81 am trying to save enough money
to bring my father and mother and
the brother and sisters to this coun-
try" continued Abe. at will take
some hundreds of dollars, and could
get the money If people would let me

LANDLORDS THREATEN
TO EVICT TENANTS
SEVERAL FAMILIES ALREADY
ELECTED
Lack of Employment Makes 1t impos-
sibIe for Men to Pay Rent and
Owners Take Legal
Action

While the labor situation has cleared
UP wonderfully within the last week
a new and a hard situation will have
to be faced by many needy families in
the threats of many of the landlords
to evict the tenants unless the rent is
paid up promtly.
Several families have been put out OF
their modest rented homes on account
of the lack OF funds resulting from
unemployment. And many more will
have to GO out this week unless they
secure work or the landlords decide to
be more lenient and give the people a
chance to earn the money.
Rev. Dana w. Bartlett Of the Beth
lehem institutions said last night that
there were yet hundreds of men anx-
iously waiting for jobs of all kinds.
About $50 men are fed each day at Ell
Club Belen and from fifty to sixty
families are being furnished with food
at the Bethlehem institution on Vignes
street.
Rev. Mr.. Bartlett again makes his
appeal for work above all else, and
also for contributions to help in fur
nishing provisions to the hungry.
The free employment bureau at FL
Club Belen will be continued and meals
will be furnished at that place to the
hungry.
However, funds cannot be furnished
to pay the rents of these unfortunate
people and the threats of eviction will
hang over many unhappy homes today.

breaches ANNUAL
Y. M. C. A. SERMON
Robert J. Burdette, Pastor of Temple
Baptist Church, Speaks on
Theme of "Glory of
Youth"

Robert j. Burdette, pastor of Temple
Baptist church, preached the annual
sermon for the Young Mems Christian
association yesterday morning, taking
for his text Proverbs 20, 29-"The Glory
of Young Men Is Their Strength"
tits a mans book, this old Bible.
1t begins with the work of creation
the glory of infinite might and wis
dom. Gods work, calling the sun and
stars out of darkness, fashioning form
and order out of the rebellion of chaos;
marshaling the unbridled powers and
materials of a universe and teaching
them the trumpet notes of order, duty
law, obedience, discipline.
IA mans work in the noblest degree
is Godlike. The joy of man assum-
ing command of the greatest forces
and most unruly and most intractable
powers in the world-his own self. The
pride of the colonel shouting ''Shun!
and seeing the embattled ranks thrill
with the communal sense of prompt
obedience as they lock themselves into
one mighty creature with 1000 arms
and 1000 harmonious intellects, and
stand in rigid attention like racer
poised for The signal. The joy and
pride of learning each successive day
that he can do yet more with his God
given powers than he has ever yet at
tempted.
"A trained and educated mind that
teaches out into space, discovers the
secrets of the stars. weighs the planets,
measures the darkened spaces between
the flaming suns; finds out and knows
and tells what they will do and where
they will be in hundred years, and
suddenly stopping, bends to teach a
little girl at her school desk how to
add 1 and 2.
"A genius that scars beyond the
stars in conceptions of splendor and
eloquence and suddenly sweeps down
tc earth to glorify mountain daisy
or immortalize a field mouse The
Godlike power to do the greatest and
the least--like the might of Jesus, the
Son of God. standing before the sep
ulcher calling the dead man back from
the shadows into life and light. while
affrighted death flies from the sound
of the living voice; then turning to
lift tiny child from the mothers
arms and nestle 1t upon his heart of
tenderness and blessing.
10Y of a man to do things in the
glory and omnipotence of youth And
no book in the world so inspires him
to do his best-always and everywhere
his very best-as this Book can and
does.'

The Fellowship platform yesterday

1.-THE Religion of the Successful Bust

1.-THE problems of the immediate fu-
lure are to be solved by business men.
This epoch belongs to commerce. If
We can discover the religion--that Is,
the real heart beliefs-of the business
man of today we shall know how the
problems of the present will be solved.
The business man of today cares little
for philosophy and nothing for theol-
ogy. The abstract questions, Where
did we come from? and What will hap
pen to us after death? interest him but
little. He lives in the present. If he
can make the most of the life he Is
now living he is content. His religion
is not manufactured in the study, but
IS forged in the fires of competition,
partakes Of the character of his busi-
ress methods. Even as business meth
eds are tending more and more to SIM
plicity and becoming more and more
practicable, so his religion becomes
more simple and more practicable. The
great test of a mans business is its
efficiency. He Is after results. and this
is the real test of his own religion.

hut was wholly bad. But this is
wrong. Like every other human re-
lationship and activity. good and bad
are mixed, and the good outweighs the
lad. The leaders of business the world
over desire a publication of politics
and of commerce. The recent investi-
cations and exposures of the insurance
frauds and the public service crimes
were made by business men. President
Roosevelt's message of two weeks ago
was received with unbounded enthu.
siasm by the legitimate business world.
1.-THE religion of a business man is
purely ethical. The fundamental eth
ical principle is that of honesty. Con-
fidence is the foundation of all COM
