party which ran third in the recent illinois election
representation which it does not deserve on the
basis of the vote cast, the proposed deal would be
made by the Progressives with the very same infu-
ences which inflicted William Lorimer the country
1t would add vote to the reactonary forces in the
United States Senate 1t would encourage machine
whose remnant in every legislative body ought not
to be increased.
1t is true that the Progressive party and the
Republican party together elected bare majority Of
the Illinois general assembly. But If there was good
reason why those two parties should have been apart
in the recent election there stronger reasons why
they should not work together in Illinois.
That State did not 60 Democratic in the legsla-
ture but the progressves Of the Democracy and the
progressives who set up a new party far outrum-
bered the reactonaries Of illinois at the polls A
compromise by which the reactonaries would get a
vote in the United States Senate out Of two votes
that ought to be Progressive would bring disgrace
upon the Progressive party 1t would be better il
deadlock resulted and the Progressive party washed
its hands Of all deals.
In any event, the election of Republican Sena-
tor to succeed the Republican Lormer, with the aid
of Progressive votes would be tine result of unholy
and unpopular alliance. Better nothing at all than
anything by the old dckers and deals.

Now there are six prosperous COM
panies engaged in the wholesale trade
OF the humble goober and its total sales
are well over one hundred thousand
dollars annually. The peanut is com

there are a dozen uses made of 1t now

In another decade, It will be looked

NO PROGRESSIVE DEALS.

Governor Deneen has taken the advice of Illinois
Republicans who believe it would be capital blunder
their part to fill the Lormer vacancy at special
session of the legislature. This is aside from the
doubt that the election of United States Senator in
that manner would be constitutional Such a step
would be in defiance of the popular will 1t would be
an indefensible assumption of authority decisvely
withheld from the Republican party by the voters of
the State.
The Progressives of the Illinois general assembly
will make just as big blunder as that would be If
they consent to deal with the Republicans. 1t has
been suggested that they give the Republicans Lori
mers seat and take their share Of the bargain the
long term, which begins at the end Of Senator
Cuom's service.
Aside from the fact that this would be giving the

dustriai Development of the people
OF the islands. BY establishing tie
school OF Household Industries at
Manila, the government hopes TO in
troduce into the homes several IN
dnstries which WI ada materially
to the income of thousands Of fam
lies. Several hundred women from
oil parts or the Phil ppines receive
instruction in special industries at
the school. After fin shing the
course they return to their native
towns and teach other women to
make at home things for which
there is a market. Embroidery AID
lace making are reee y.ng first at
tention, s.nce the government sees
most direct commercial advantage
in these two arts.
