Or. cO0k-The week brought the
visit OF Doctor Cook, which has been
looked for with so much interest.
There is a wide divergence of opinion
regarding the results of the visit.
There are some that hold that the
doctor evaded the question at Hamii-
ton. and that the discussion there Was
all to his disadvantage. The fact re-
mains, however. that the Hamilton

Lying For the Pennant

The contest for the 1909 pennant for champion long
distance liar of Illinois is well under way and the fell
lows who furnish items for the press behalf of the
liquor crowd away ahead of anybody else. It
looks if the editor of the Beacon whisky paper pub
shed at Belleville Ill., has gained such lead the
rest of them that he will hardly be overtaken.
The Beacons speciality is the publication of articles
relating the results of the ansaloon policy in Illinois
cities and villages which have adopted the provisions of
the local option law. Early in January the Beacon
published characteristic screed concerning conditions
in Dillingham; 1t is not the purpose Of the Illinois Issue
to keep conradcng these absurd Stories but occasion

The Beacon bears down heavily the financial condi

facts very largely due to Indebtedness bequeathed
to the dry administration by the saloon crowd that

five six thousand dollars year, heavy debt was
cmuated which of it will take time to pay
off, If the people of Engham adhere to their present
policy this Indebtedness will be wiped out in due time,
and the city will be a much better financial basis
than ever before.

saloons voted out of Teuopois neighboring vii

The gist of the matter seems to be
that while the club usually closes
the season in pretty fair financial
condition, there are times, as at
present, when they run behind,

funds on hand to defray the ex-
penses of visits to other places for

be left on the shoulders of the man.

is perfectly sound and justi6able.
