CONSERVE STATE RESOURCES
Protection OF The Rights of Illinois
Called Real Issue.

The paramount issue In the politics
Of Illinois is the water power ques-
tion
On this issue the positions OF the
two principal parties are in erect OPP
posite-though the verbiage of plat
form making in some degree conceals
this vital truth.
The position of the Republican party
IS clear and unequivocal Its declara-
ton is that the water power, created
at public expense. shall be preserved
for public use.
The Democratic platform evades
this principle. 1t makes a general,
high-sounding declaration in favor OF
conservation and then wipes out all
useful application of this principle to
actual conditions In Illinois by declar-
ing specifically against any action by
the State to preserve water power
without the aid OF the Federal gov
ernment
The facts of the situation are as
follows:
The sanitary district of Chicago, or
ganized under the laws of Illinois, has
built the drainage canal, at an expense
of over s60,000,000. This canal de-
1iyeni into the arid bed of the Des-
PLANES river constant stream of
water. which At appropriate places
along the river can be developed into
enormously profitable water power.
1t is coincidence that the sites
NH ,,1u m
be established are, for the most part,
public property. either owned by the
State or the sanitary district, although
some short leases have been given to
the Economy Light and Power Com
pany.
In the Illinois river the only water
power developed IL produced under
special permission of the Legislature,
and this permission Is revocable at
the will Of the Legislature. These
facts are not disputed by the private
claimants of water power privilege.
Their contention Is that, in the expec-
tation OF making money, they have ac-
quired property rights. and that there
fore it would be immoral for the State
to deprive them of their anticipated
profits.
They go further. The continued
widening OF the Chicago river at pub
lie expense and the completing Of the
Calumet canal will double the water
power. They claim that they must
have the value thus derived.
In this claim they are backed up
by the Democratic platform.
The Republican party, on the con-
trary, maintains that these water pow
ers shall be secured for the people
In the manner prescribed by the con
stitution OF the State of Illinois for
the taking Of private property for pub
lie use-to-wit: By paying to the prop.
erty owners the value of their prop
erty rights.
The common fairness. as well as the
public policy, of this position is so
apparent that no discussion is needed
70 strengthen It further.
The enormous wealth and political
power OF the owners of private prop
erty rights involved In this issue con-
troll the Democratic party today.
They have been unable to control
the Republican party.
They should not be allowed to con-
troll the coming election.-The Chi
cago Tribune.

WILL MAKE A FRESH START
Brave Survivors Of the Forest Fires
In the Northwest Will Rebuild
Towns and Homes.

BEAUDETTE, Minn.-All day
relief was being given to the desti-
tute of the forest fires. Tents, food
and supplies were being hurried here
for distribution among the unfortu-
mates. Some of those applying for
food and tents, told tales of priva-
ton and miraculous escapes when
the fire had cut them off. Tents
are being distributed and every
thing is being put in shape for the
amelioration of the condition of the
unfortunates.
Plans are already being made for
a larger and greater Beaudette and
Spooner. Train loads of supplies
and money are arriving and new
buildings are being erected.
The heavy pals of smoke which
hung over the cities have almost
been dissipated. No further appre-
hension S feared here for further
fires, as all of the forest and inflam-
mable material have been burned
and destroyed.
One feature of the fire is that
while thousands of acres of valuable
forests have ben totally destroyed
putting the lumber interests out of
further business, this land is with
out a single exception very fertile,
Instead of roaring logging camps
being the means of livelihood, the
people will now turn to agriculture
for employment. Large tracts of
land, on which large forests stood
are being plowed and put in readi-
ness for growth of wheat A heavy
rain soon will have the effect OF
quickening the soil and giving il
moisture for the future crops.

his affection She was beautiful,
accomplished and a representative
of one of the Oldest and most aris-
tocratic families of the south.
The wedding day was fixed and
then gossips began to whisper and
ask: who is Ben Hooper, anyway,
and. where did he come from?'
And no one could answer.
The girls family felt the irrepres-
sible pride of the old south, and
hearing the question they, too
strained their ears for the answer
There was none.
The wedding day was postponed
and Hooper was called in and ques-
toned concerning his parentage. He
told his sweethhearts family that
his earliest remembrance was of the
orphan asylum. Even his name HAD
been given to him by his benefactOr
Back of the orphan asylum he knew
nothing.
He was cast off by the girl he
loved so devotedly, the blow seemed
to destroy his ambition. Then, re-
covering his manliness, he, who
knew not his fathers name deter
mined to make a shining name for

BETTER WE'LL DIVORCED
THAN BADLY MARRIED
MatrimOny Is Scientific Rather Than
RELIGIOUS Matter.

Rabbi Charles Fleischner, of Tenn
pie Adult Isreal, whose views on
marital matters have attracted much
attention. says a Boston dispatch, be-
Iieves that marriage lies in the prov
ince of science and sociology rather
than of religion.
Marriage is matter which
should come under the domain OF
science, rather than under the do
main of region. There is no more rea-
son why a minister should marry a
couple than why a doctor should
marry them" says Rabbi Fleischner.
81 wish to emphasize the physical
mental and spiritual fitness of those
about to marry as one of the most
necessary Of our mortal duties. AS
for divorce, it will be necessary evil
Just as long as people disregard the
necessity of complete mental fitness
before they marry.
LAS for universal divorce, as it
has been called, | should tolerate
that only because the present laxity
with regard to marriage fitness is so
great that divorce is and must be
a necessary evil. My whole point is
that people must be properly mated
from the point of view of eugenics
before they are allowed to enter in
to matrimony. Then the necessity
for divorce will be reduced to
minimum.
1T is better to be well divorced
than to remain badly married. There
is no more reason why the church
should object to necessary divorce
than it should object to an inaus-
picious marriage.

If Ben Hooper is elected he will

republican governor Tennessee has
had for 80 years, and he will have
! the further distinction of having
won his high place largely by demo

should be safely in the democratic

So Hooper is a political curlo;

He was found in the streets Of

Begins Life Anew in Texas.

! With a few thousand dollars which
his benefactor lent him he went to
Texas. Among strangers he set
about his task with grim determine
tion to prove to his friends that a
mans success does not depend on
the accident of his birth.
He invested his small capital in
oil wells of Texas, and in six monthg
he had made 100000. Back -
East Tennessee he went, buoyant
and hopeful.
The Ben Hooper who had gone
away six months before, downcast
and respondent, was vastly differ
ent from the Ben Hooper who had
returned, and those who had scott
ed came to respect and admire him.
He began the practice of law and
success followed. He was elected to
the state legislature, was made judge
in the district and has had a bril-
liant professional career. He went
his quiet way and smiled at the
changed attitude of his former sweet
heart and her family toward him.
Ten years ago he married Miss
Jones, daughter of one of the wealth
lest citizens of East Tennessee. His
home is one of the handsomest in
that section ant he has four bright
children.
Mrs. Hooper is attractive and ac-
