INSURGENCY IN ILLINOIS AND
NEW JERSEY.

In spite of the powerful interests
with which insurgency has to contend
IN Illinois, three insurgent Republi-
cans were nominated in the Congress
siOnal primaries held in that State
Thursday. When this is considered
in connection with the fact that at
present the Illinois Republican dele
cation Of nineteen in the House is
solidly regular, the showing OF insur-
gent strength in the primaries is
gratifying. The insurgent victory
which was the most cIean-cut was in
the Ninth district, where Henry She
man Boutell, Cannon man and pro-
nouneed standpstter, was badly beat
en- by a progressive
The reduction OF Representative
George E. Foss' plurality to about
500 indicates surprising insurgent
strength in the Tenth district, and II
Is significant that in nearly all the
other districts of the State regulars
won their nominations by relatively
small margins. 1t IS not surprising
to find that Speaker Cannon was re-
nominated by a big vote, as the in
surgent organization against him was
imperfect The Speakers fight viii
come in the election.
In New Jersey the first insureent
member of Congress has met defeat
In the retirement of Charles y. Fowler
by the regulars Is found the only in
stance Of the primary campaigns in
which an anti-Cannon man has failed
TO obtain Endorsement at home Ex-
eept for Mr.. Fowler and small hand
full of his friends, however, there Is
practically no progressive organization
in the Mosquito State. The regulars
on the other hand, are strongly in
tTenehed, and have been for several
years.
The action of the Democrats of
New Jersey IN getting together on a
progressive platform, with Woodrow
Wilson for their gubernatoriaI candi-
date, is very likely TO result in the
election of a Democratic State ticket
and Legislature and several Demo
cratic Representatives \ Senator is
to be elected in New Jersey this win
ter, and, since the overflow in Maine
it may not be going too far TO expect
him to be a Democrat The Repub-
lican machine victory IN the primaries
viii cause a great many voters to Dc
what the voters of Maine did-seek
relief from oppressive machine rule
outside their party.

BALLINGER GUSHING
DENIED AT BEVERLY

BEVERLY, Mass, Sept. I7.-Emphatic
denial IS made here that the Cabinet, al
the special meetings In Washington the
latter part Of this month. viii decide
whether Richard A Ballinger. Secretary
OF the Interior, is to resign his port
folio.
Friends OF Mr. BalIinger claim that he
is being prosecuted IN high quarters
and that reports intended TO force him
out OF Office are being circulated By his
enemies without any shadow Of indOrse-
ment from the President
There is only one man who can put
BaIIinger out Of the Ca5inet- That man
Is the President, who on more than one
occasion. with cleuched fist humping
his desk to emphasize the remark. has
declared that he viii never make such q

There is no one thing that has ever

have sprung up all over the country
No young man can now offer the ex-
cuse that he had no chance at educa-
ton as he grew up There is no trade
or profession which may not be fully
mastered after business hours. for the

need not attend The volunteer tru-
ant officers need only furnish the
school board with the names and adj
dresses of the children they have dis
covered out of school. The board can
then send its trusnt officers after
them. If their parents do not send
them to school the parents can be
prosecuted under the truancy act. The
vaccination Law would be no defense
for them if they were prosecuted
The only condition of which the court
would take cognizanee would be
whether the child was of school age
and whether it was attending school
Fortunately, means are provided
through other channels for the vac
cination of poor children without
charge. The operation will be per
formed by any of the physicians to
the poor, by the physicians at any
disPensary in the city, or by Physi-
clans at the District Health Office.
Parents who can afford to pay are
expected to have their children vac
cinated by doctors in private practice,
but those who cannot afford to pay
can obtain the service free
1t is certainly desirable that every
child of school age attend school If
truant officers, both regular and vol
unteer, explain to poor parents how
their children may be vaccinated
without charge, there would seem TO
be nc valid reason why any child
should be kept away.
