Bowling Green, KY, Mich. 25, 1909.
The voters of Breckenridge county
may wonder if the State Normal is
making good. They have a right to
know. They are helping to support
the school and should be informed as
to what it is doing.
There are in actual attendance now
over 800 students; more than 30 of
these are from Breckenridge county.
All of the students are doing good
work. This always applies to the ones
from home. There is not one which
we are not proud of.

WET AND DRY FIGHT ON.
Illinois Cities Vote ON Local Option
Enforcement Tuesday.

Chicago, April 19.-Ninety per cent
of the cities and villages of Illinois
will hold their municipal elections
Tuesday. In a majority of them the
straightaway issue appears to be
whether the local option law shall be
enforced strictly and the saloon ques-
ton in one way or another has enter
ed into the campaign in practically all
of them.
No cities or villages will vote direct
ly under the local option law. The
greater part of the townships. voted as
such in 1908 and the eighteen months
time limit provided by the law before
the question may be resubmitted has
not expired.
The practical working of the local
option law, however, depends on the
way it is enforced by the municipal
governments in the townships which
have voted dry. For this reason the
elections are possessed of significance
in the wet and dry fight.

RIB STORY GOOD ONE.
Rev. Hopkins Defends Bibles Explain
alton of Woman's Creation.

Chicago. April 19.-In defiance of
the higher criticism, Rev. Frederick
f Hopkins, Congregational. comes
out in defense of the Biblical account
of woman's creation
"Infdels all laugh at Adams rib. >
he says. ''They tell us the Bible be
gins with a joke, that it is ridiculous
to suppose that woman was made as
Genesis describes. We do not care to
argue that point. further than to re-
mark that no one except the author
OF the first book in the Bible has ever
given as satisfactory an explanation
OF the beginning of things from a
spiritual standpoint.
Before we dismiss a book, which
some think contains such a ridiculous
story. let US stop long enough to ask
if after all the mere invention of the
story does not make the book worth
while?
''Who today. after he has had a jolly
good laugh, will rise and explain how
ft ever occurred to anybody to pro-
vide for the continuation OF human
life on this planet by establishing the
family relation? Could anything be
more perfect than Just TO say. I will
make a helpmeet for him. and the
thing was done?
rs it a huge joke that lies at the
bottom of the marriage relation and
the home? Are the words of the most
beautiful of ceremonies but an echo
OF an ancient and childish fable?'

Ill, will be the administrations can
ddate for the office, and against her
will be all the factions that have DIS
puted Mrs. McLean's supremacy for
many years, headed by Mrs William
Cummings Story. present regent of the
state of New York. as the anti-McLean
candidate.
Mrs. Story's campaign manager will
be Mrs. Joseph S. Wood of Mount Yer
non. In the selection of both Mrs
Story to head the ticket and of Mrs.
Wood as her manager there was mat
ter for surprise to the loyal followers
of the anti-McLean forces in New YORK
state. 1t was expected that Mrs. Story
would again be a candidate for the re-
gency of the state. and early in the
year, when the anti Mclean forces were
looking around for a candidate for the
Office of president general, she declined
the offer, with the object, it was said.
of standing by the New York state
Daughters in their effort to secure in
dependence for their state organiza-
ton from the domination of the nation
al body.
AS Mrs. Story is now to run for the
presidency general, it will be necessary
for New York state to select another
snti-McLean candidate for the state
regency. Mrs. Lyman Munson. the pres
ent vice regent, is looked upon as the
logical candidate for this office because
of her unceasing efforts to perfect the
New York state organization and her
active support of Mrs. Story in the anti
Mclean fight; but as Mrs. Wood has
been named as Mrs. Story's campaign
manager there is possibility that she
will step into Mrs. Story's shoes as the
regent of New York state.
Source of Trouble
One of the omnipresent causes of
trouble in the national society always
has been and still is the Memorial
Continental hall, which has been
erected in Washington and in which
the congresses are held. This is the
most ambitious project ever under
taken by the society, and the sum of
pended upon it. It was the deter
mination of Mrs Mclean that this
work should be pushed forward to
completion during her administration
that has aroused the most bitter
opposition to her. She insisted at
bonding of the hall for 100000 in
order that the work might be COM
pleted.
1t is because Mrs. Mclean wishes a
woman of tried business ability who
can successfully engineer whatever
activities are necessary for the COM
pletion of the hall that she desires
the election of Mrs. Scott. who. since
her husbands death. has been in
sole charge of the large mining in
terests which she received from him.
The New Hall.
The hall is practically completed
and Mrs Mclean will have her wish
of seeing it opened during her ad
ministration. The opening day of the
congress will be called Continental
Hall Day and will be given up to a
reception to be held in the ball room
OF the hall. The building is of white
stone and the interior Is finished in

of the American Revolution convened.
The session will last throughout the
week. The hall is capable of seating

platform by a number of charter mem
bers of the organization she was ac-
corded an ovation.
On the rostrum. besides the officers of
the D. A. R., were Vice President Sher-

Henry Stockbridge, president general of
the Sons of the American Revolution;
DIR. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of
the senate. the Right Rev. Alfred Hard

smith. The exercises were opened with
the reading of the scriptures by Mrs.

general.
Mrs. Mclean delivered her opening
address and was followed by the vice
president, Ambassador Jusserand and
Judge Stockbridge.
In behalf of all the daughters, Mrs:
Stockbridge replied to the address OF
welcome by Mrs Mclean.
Music was furnished by the United
States Marine band.
Mrs. Donald Mclean of New York
at present holds the office of president
general, which has been hers for two
terms and for which she battled at
several congresses before she obtained
the victory. The laws of the society
prevent Mrs. Mclean from serving
longer, but the Mclean influence will
still be felt and the battle for the pres
idency this year, as on several previ-
Gus occasions, will be between the Nc
Lean and anti-McLean forces.
