The commission form of municipal

in the ring. yesterday was signed by
Governor Deneen and will become

It have been 50 thoroughly discussed,
no further elucidation is necessary,
We believe, however, this is good
bin to build upon at the next regular
ession of the legislature. It's great
est defect is the absence of a recall
provision The recall OF seventy.five
per cent in this bin. is no recall at

However, city which needs this
reform very desperately should not
hesitate because Of the absence ol
the recall. That provision Will doubt

The tragic events which have oc-
cupied the attention of Cairo people
since Cannon aud Taft departed from
here on their trip down the river
have left little room for Imaginable
occurrences; but one has turned up.
1t is one combine prosecuting an
other for violation of anti-com6ine
laws. The local grocers' combine is
after the ice combine. The members
of the latter claim they lost money
last season, so they combined and
raised the price of ice five cents
hundred The prosecution is
case of kettle denouncing pot because
it is black The grocers have a nice
organization, right in line with the
trend OF business In modern days. II
puts them on social aud friendly
terms with each other, and enables
them to work together for their nu.
tual advantage in any way they deem
necessary. To stop throat-cutting
complications would seem to be the
first necessary step for them to take.
and 1t Is noticed that there is no diff
ference in their prices, But they
diselaim any attempt at fixing uni
form prices for their goods; their
chief purpose is to blacklist custo-
mers who do not pay. This is boy

blacklist and boycott are Illegal. Let
us laugh at the groeers.

Summer soap because ii clcanses clothes in
cold as we'll as lukewarm water
Know this: Fes-Naptha is sold and
used in every State and Territory in the
United States, including Alaska and in
every Province Of Canada. It is sold and
used in Winter as we'll as in Summer.
And here's why: It gets mighty cold
sometimes in Alaska and Northern Canada.
The colder it gets the more reason women
have for washing clothes with Fels-Naptha
In lukeWarm water.
The more reason for not risl,ing cold
by filing the house with vapor or bending
over steaming suds.
The more reason for protecting hands
from becoming red and chapped
The more reason for getting the wash
ing done in half the time with onc-iourth

Last night closed the registration date for the prohibition election to be held on the 26th inst. County Recorder McDona'd and his office force have been kept busy preparing the great register both for record and Tor the printer. T,day the total reg i.tra.ions received from the various officers total 5ll2 names, which is a large decrease from the lsst registrs- ton, that of 1908, when 1909 names appeared on the great register.
 The figures show exactly 2lSf names less than registered for the regular election, and would indicate that many voters throughout the county take DO interest in the coming wet" or "dry" election.
 Speculation is rife as to the result of the local option election and the prevailing opinion is that the "wets' will win in every city of the county, although the vote will be close.
