A New Declaration.

When in the course of human
events the people of a state have
been betrayed and disgraced by their
representatives in a legislature CIV
en- over to corruption, a decent re-
spect to the opinions of mankind and
their own honor, selfrespect and self
interest require that they should free
themselves from the faint, make an
example of all who have abused their
trust, cleanse the capitol that has
been defiled.
We. therefore the people of Illinois
do solemnly publish and declare
that all political connection between
us and the agents of corruption Is
totally dissolved, that we are resell
we'd to dethrone the political bosses
who have foisted the boodlers and
grafters upon us and profitted by
their evil work, to regain the power
that has been usurped. to purify the
legislative halls at Springfield and
to encourage and sustain those Off
Gals who are exerting themselves to
bring the guilty to punishment.
We proclaim our independence Of
party machines and party labels our
determination to subordinate every
other political issue to that which
Is truly paramount, the publication
Of politics, to rescue our state from
shame and prove that 1t is worthy of
the great names that have shed glory
upon 1t and upon the splendid union
of which it is part.
And to these object We pledge our
time and energy an unceasing vigil
ance, a performance of our duties as
citizens that must wipe out the stain
of corruption re-establish the fame
of the state and make 1t, what 1t
should be, leader in the cause Of
good government. of government of
the people by the people, for the
people.

more than its quota Of federal troops
were declared to have been unwarran-
ted and irregular in so far as resi-
dents of this state were concerned
Now nearly fifty years later the men
illegally drafted have filed claims
against the government for the return
of the nioney--in sums averaging $500
which they were forced to pay to
secure substitutes.
These bills have been before the
court of claims, but many Of them
have been made out defectively and
were in danger of being permanently
rejected had not Senator Bradley Sc
cured action which permitted their
Introduction in proper form.
Claims filed in due process will
have standing in the court of claims
and will be provided for in the omni-
bus appropriation bill of the session
of congress following their adjudica-
ton, according to the view of Senator
Bradley.
Many residents of Kentucky, who
have claims, will be interested in this
statement. The fact that they were
not allowed by resolution of congress
at the last session cannot be taken by
such claimants as an indication that
they have no standing, but that they
were not placed before the court of
claims in proper form.

The Real Knockout Blow.

According to Mr.. James Corbett and
other eminent sporting authorities
the thing that really whipped Jeffries
in the recent fistic battle at Reno
was not so much Mr. Johnson's punch
as Mr.. Johnson's wit. The big, slow
minded white giant could stand the
pummeling he received but he went to
pieces before the ceasless running fire
of raillery, OF ridicule of abuse, of
taunts. of gibes and threats that his
opponent kept up. and at last the
champion was conquered by so small
a thing as tongue.
Learned psychologists tell us why
this is true. and why the man who
is maddened by jeers and fileeers and

There is only one way to cure deaf

inflamed condition of the mucuous

this tube is inflamed you have a

deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its norma con-

some people get their tOOt IN IL
once in a while. When they discov-
er that they are caught they immc-
diately seek refuge behind "explana-
ton" This is what Mr. Everltt does.
He is now stating that he was
compelled to dismiss his suit against
the American Society of Equity in
the case in the Hendricks Circuit
Court because of the sickness of his
counsel, Judge Heffron.
His complaint was in three para
graphs. The first on an alleged ac-
count stated, under which he claimed
about s7,5O0.OO. The second was for
money paid to and for the Society's
use, and for material furnished, in
Guiding Up-to-date Farming to MEM
bers of the Society and under this
paragraph be claimed $25,0O000. The
third paragraph was for an alleged
breach of duty on the part of the
Society in various regards. and under
this paragraph he claimed $25,000.00.
On the trial of the cause he first
put on the stand as a witness in his
behalf his son, and then took the
stand himself to support his claim.
Before his crOss-examination was
completed and before being taken ill
his counsel dismissed as to the sec
ond and third paragraphs. At the
conclusion OF Everitt's testimony, his
counsel announced that he had no
mere evidence to offer in support of
the complaint, and rested his cause.
This was Immediately before the
noon adjournment of the court on
the third day. At the opening of
the afternoon session counsel for the
Society, c. w. Sith, moved the court
to instruct the jury to fine for the

evidenc Offered by the plaintiff show
ed that he was not entitled to re-
cover.
Counsel for the Society made a
very brief but convincing argument
in support of his motion. during

Nothing is more significant of the
lively interest which the race is TAX
ing in the cause of education than the
hearty financial support which it rem
ders constantly through the channels
of the various churches.
Every denomination has its special
educational interests to which it con-
tributes either annually or at some stat
ed period during the year. One of the
best systems of raising funds for edu-
cational work is to be found in the A
NJ. E. church, which observes regular
ly what is popularity known as educa.
tiOnal day throughout the denomina-
ton.
At such times special efforts are
made to raise (by voluntary contribu-
tons for the most part means with
~n,cn 10 nssist such eoucauonuh In
stitutions as are under the fostering
care of the denomination. Among these
schools are WilberfOrce university, o.,
OF which Professor William S. Scar
borough is president; Morris Brown
college, Atlanta. Ga: Kittrell school,
in North Carolina. and Edwaters col.
lege, in Texas.
The day was generally observed this
year on Sunday. Sept. IS. Reports so
far of the amounts raised by the
churches are very favorable. Com
ing just about the opening of the
schools for the fall term, this financial
aid gives the trustees of the school
fund Il clearer idea how to estimate or
apportion funds to the various institu-
tions.
In speaking to the students of Will
berforce at the opening of the term re-
Gently President Scarborough said:
'"The educational world today is turn.
ing its attention more and more to the
individual, to the making of worthy
human beings, to intelligent race cul-
ture, to recognizing the worth of both
heredity and environment as factors in
the molding of each human life.

more and more as safe investments to
bring about the best results. and edu-
Gators everywhere are asking what is
best to be done to be able to meet the
life that must be lived in the world
and how best to prepare for it.
True educators are always seekers
after truth. and today they are en-
deavoring to make school and practical
life join hands as we push on into
wider fields of knowledge

thing than to have such training that

MISTAKE CAUSED DEATH
Wllfred Harvey, Years Old, Victim
Doctor Said Case was Hopeless

Rutland, May 11.-Circumstances
surrounding the death of Wilfred, the
three year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
jeremiah Harvey of Evergreen aven-
ne, which occurred last Friday morn
ing, tend to show that death may
have been due to series of accid-
ents.
The child was i'll with whooping
cough, and Dr. c. r. Ball had told the
parents Thursday morning that the
patient probably would not recover
He gave the father a blank, bearing
the words, "Cresolin. bottle telling
him to burn It in the child's room. Mr.
Harvey took the order to a drug store
on Merchants Row and clerk VIII
Abraham gave him a bottle.
AS soon as II was burned in the
room the child went into commissions.
Dr. Ball was summoned and when
ne entered the room he knew that
creolin had been burned by mistake.
He threw open the windows and be-
gan to burn cresolin but It was TOO
late, and the little fellow died within
a few minutes.
Abraham claims that the order
looked to him like "crealln." and as
the word was obviously misspelled he
supposed that creolin was wanted.
He says that what was really wanted
was vapo-cresolin. It is probable
that no arrests will be made, as the
doctor states that II would be hard
to prove that the mistake really caus-
ed death. as the chlld's case was
practically hopeless.
