and which, by the way. is to draw to
Chicago no less distinguished man of
public affairs than Secretary of Agrt
culture Wilson, who is TO welcome the
followers Of King Gambrinus, they
have sent out a new injunction to the
man who likes mis- hops in healtnful
quantities, and it is simply this: Drink
as you eat" In other words. sit down TO
it and take your time-instead OF
standing in front of the bar and throw
ing il in until every one in the party
has set EN- up. This may be of in
terest and perhaps of profitable advan-
tage 70 the retail consumers in Rock
Island. some of whom may imagine
that because they have hollow legs
they can operate to better advantage
on the far side of the mahogany than
in assuming the sitting posture and
imbibing by easy stages.
They are talking politics here. just
as hey did at Springfield last week,
and here, as there. the future governor
of Illinois is the all-absorbing topic of
conversati ton. On the republican side,
il is conceded, at least that is the Chi
cago way Of thinking. that Governor
Deueen will be given the chance TO sue
ceed himself that is so far as the re-
publican interests lie. On the demo
cratic side. they are still talking of
Alschuler. Caldwell. Hurst. Fithian.
Burton and English. and by the way,
there is a little circumstance to relate
in connection with the Rock Island
man who is being discussed for the
nomination that he perhaps is unaware
of himself. In all the broad state OF
Illinois Mr.. Hurst has no more ardent
admirer and no more earnest and con
sisIent supporter than Hon. II. p. Car
mody of this city. who served with him
in the Legislature % years ago. In
fact Carmody will not hear TO any
thing else but that his Rock Island
friend and former colleague shall he
the next governor OF Illinois. and he is
talking him wherever he goes. And.
by the way. MI Carmodv's oldest son,
now i'll college. is named for Mr.. Hurst,
which shows the depth of friendship
between men that VIII grow out of
service in the legislature together.
The Chicago papers Of last Sunday,
or at least two of them. furnished a
example Of the merit OF news
paper advertising on an extraordinary
scale. on that one day one of the big
stores here used % full
pages of display advertising in the
Sunday editions Of two of the Chicago
papers. The remaI kabIe showing was
in addition TO the usual amount of ad-
vertisiug in other Chicago papers. the
special advertising Of this one business
Institution occupying a full section in
two different papers. From the stand
point of a newspaper man. the writer
has taken some pains TO ascertain from
authentic sources how much the Chi
cago firm paid for advertising on that
single day. and the statement is re-
.iably made that the outlay aggregated
close to SAC, 600. The wideawake bus
mess houses of Rock Island and OF the
,ri-cities know to what es'tent adver-
Using pays, for by their good works
they are known; but here is a prac-
