PASSING OF The BILLBOARD


The Columbia theatre Of Chicago
has announced the abandonment of
all bill posting and billbcards and
will hereafter advertise the attrac-
tons only by means OF the newspaper.
This step is not exclusive to this Chi
cago theatre. We find daily evidences
Of departure from the poster method
of advertising. Many newspapers
have been engaged in a warfare
against billboards for some time on
the theory that they are a detriment
to the community where they are toll.
Grated. The claim is made insistently
that there is no kind of legitimate
advertising that cannot be done more
effectively and extensively through
the medium OF the newspaper.
1t is asserted that the supposed
need Of billboards is based upon false
premises, and that they are an i'm
position on public sight and public
rights.
The theatre referred to asserts, &C.
cording to the Chicago Evening Post,
that the graft and bother resulting
from placard and billboard advertis
ing make them a nuisance TO handle. D
This would indicate that the patrons
OF these methods are beginning to
feel what the public has felt for a
long time. The placard and billboard
system has long harassed the pubic;
now 1t is harassing the advertisers
1t only remains to be demonstrated
by courageous advertisers, theatrica
and other. that they can dispense
with this kind of publicity without
loss, and even with profit, and the
nuisance will lose its last claims tc
/ forbearance.

GOVERNOR DENEEN MISTAKEN

Governor Deneen Is mistaken in at
tributing his defeat and the defeat
of his party in Illinois to the spite
ticket, as his managers are pleased
TO call the ticket headed by Mr. Funk
That may have been a contributory
cause to the overwhelming defeat, but
the governor ought to realize, and
perhaps he does realize, that the NOM
ination of the state officials for three,
four and five terms was not approved
by the rank and file OF his party. It
Is very evident to the unprejudiced
observer that the state ticket would
have "a hard row to hoe" at the best,
and that the governor was a shining
mark for defeat. No previous govern
or of Illinois had aspired TO serve more
than two consecutive terms. Only
two men in the history OF the state
had been elected to succeed them
selves
These facts caused the republican
voters Of the state in great numbers
to determine to defeat their party
state ticket, If not by voting for the
democratic candidates for state offices,
by remaining away from the polls
The appearance of a third party
ticket in the field give these voters
the opportunity which they gladly
availed themselves OF to make the
fore-ordained defeat OF the third and
! fifth term aspirants emphatic.
There were other causes that fig.
I ured in the defeat of the republican
state ticket. The administration had
| been eNtravagent-had biennially in
/ creased the expenditures for state
| purposes until they were doubled dur
| ing the last decade, without adding
any appreciable benefit to the public
| service.
The democratic party and its candi-
dates. on the other hand, denounced
| the extravaganza, exposed as uncon-
/ stitutional and un-American the in
PRODUCTION of the sectarian test, and
was known to the people Of the state
as a man who had made good in an
executive ONCE of nearly as much i'm
portance as that OF state executive,
and whose personal character was
without reproach.
These, and other things that might
be mentioned, made the defeat of the
republican state ticket practically in.
evitable, and brought into the fed for
the democratic nomination strong,
able, popular men OF the highest char
acter and integrity.
It was not the spite" ticket that
was responsible for the republican
overthrow in this state, as the de.
feated candidates and their organs
claim.

The Argus Daily Story
Annettes Refusal-By Clarissa Maclie.
Copyrighted 1917 by Associated Literary Bureau

Billy Slater chose a most inopportune
moment in which to propose marriage
to Annette Fiske. Their motorboats
had been racing side by side over
summer sea swept by fresh south
west wind.
Together they reached the goal,
strip of sand laid bare by the falling
tide. At high water it would become
a dangerous shoal Billy dragged the
boats up on the sand, anchored them
to make their safety a sure thing and
sat down beside Annette on the top
most ridge Of sand, which the sun had
speedily dried.
Annette's dark blue eyes took in the
scene with a never failing contentment
In their depths. She loved the blue
waters of the sound, the broken, high
bluffed coast line, the distant view OF
nesting villages, the fresh salt smell
Of the air, and the fact that Billy Sla-
Ter was looking at her with alteration
in his brown eyes did not detract from
her enjoyment In the scene.
She was accustomed to having Billy
adore her. Indeed. she would have
missed his worship had he failed In
his allegiance to her. But she knew II
could not last forever, because some
day Billy was going to propose to her,
and then their friendliness would cease
for Of course she was not going to mar
~ him, for she did not love him
Girls didn't fall in love with the boys
they had played with from babyhood
and as the Slater and Fiske homes had
always been side by side both In town
and country there wasn't the slightest
chance of Annette's accepting Billy
Slater, as you may see.
Nevertheless Billy, whose lips had
been trembling to tell his tale of love

You see he tried to look like a
woman He was what the stage calls
a female impersonator" The poor
nan was in fear of losing his job
because he was getting fat. So he
pulled the corset strings tighter and
injured internal organs to such an ex-
tent that he finally collapsed during
performance at the theatre and
died a few hours later.
Although the apparently uncorseted
figure is the fashion now, there are
still women who lace. Stout women
are trussed up until they are red and
purple in the face. Girls still going
TO school are lacing in order to wear
a small sized belt. There are married
women who are depending upon ths
corset to preserve a slender waistline
because they have heard their hus.
bands ridicule fat women.
The truth is that large percentage
OF women still lace and many of wo,
mems ills are still issuing from taut
corset strings. Yet each one will as
