impossible to draw himself up again

SHAKEUP IN The
CANAL BOARD ON
Illinois and Michigan Commits
sioners Involved in Republi-
can Fractional Row.
COL. WALKER MAY BE NEXT
Clarence e. Shively OF Canton Has
Resigned and There Are Rumors
of Further Changes.

The recent intimation printed in The
Argus that republican factional war
fare in Illinois was likely to lead to a
shakeup among the Illinois and Michi-
gan canal appointees that might reach
Colonel c. L. Walker of the city, at
torney for the canal commissioners,
seems to be borne out in the following
printed in today's Chicago Tribune:
Clarence E. Snively of Canton, Full
ton county, has resigned as a commits
sioner of the Illinois and Michigan
canal. and his resignation has been
accepted by Governor Deneen.
'It is the understanding by the poll
ticians that the resignation from the
board which long has been in control
of the 'tadpole' ditch is a direct result
of the political feud between Governor
Deneen and Representative B. NJ. Chip
erffeld and that it is really the first
open move for new alignment for
1912 in Illinois republican politics.
Whether the Snively resignation
presages the retirement of Commits
sioner William L. Sackett of Morris is
not clear. The declaration was made
last night that Mr.. Sackett's resigna-
ton had not been offered, but the re-
port that Mr.. Snively had quit was cor
roborated by the governor himself.
Deere Left Vacancy.
1.-The third place on the board has
been vacant since the death of Charles
H. Deere of Rock Island county. The
surmise is that the governor is on the
verge OF naming fresh board of three
commissioners.
Strong pressure has been exerted
upon the governor, it is known, to Sc
cure the appointment of some other
attorney for the tadpolers than Charles
L. Walker of Rock Island. This press
ure has come from the Rock Island
county republican organization, and is
purely political in its character. The
upshot of the entire matter may be a
general cleaning up of the personnel
and policy of the commission as it has
existed.

so hard before;
But now the troubles past-we're sell

Twas lucky ma was brave; when
things wuz goin' wrong
She never whined, but KEEP a-hoplng

When wuz in the dumps I've often
heerd her say:
ITS always darkest jist before the

Have faith. no matter how the frosty
blast may roar
The speckled hen may soon begin to
lay once more"
Well. she wuz right, you see; we've

The winters nearly past, and all is
