VOLUME VII
Regarding the Governorship
NOVEMBER l, 1912

"Cognizant of the fact that without
governor in harmony with county op-
ton legislature our victory will be fruit
less and the result already obtained be of
no effect, this convention calls the atten-
ton of it's officials to the delicate situa-
ton with reference to the governorshp
and the desire of the temperance voters
of the state to be informed by what means
they may best protect the local option
cause. We recommend that after care
full investigation the League take such
action it may deem best for the in
terests of the local option cause in this
matter"
The above resolution was adopted at the state
wide county option convention in Rockford Thurs
day, October a. 1912 Every friend of the Anti
Saloon League Of Illinois realizes fully the unusual
of the present political situation touching the
governorship.

The Leagues Duty.

The Anti-Saloon League is the agency of the
temperance element of the state for the securing and
protection of temperance laws. Wherever temperance
legislation concerned it is the duty of the League to
act A governor not only has the constitutional right
of veto with regard to laws proposed; but even more
important exercises tremendous influence upon the
passage of these through the house and the
senate AS recited in the resolution above, it would
avail little for the League the state of Illinois
with tremendous primary campaign, and after it, an
active election campaign if the fruits of these abors
were to be lost through the election of governor
whose influence might be used against the passage of
a county option law other proposed temperance
measures This being true, the League cannot ignore
situation that imperils the results of eighteen months
of work, and prospects for perhaps four years more

sponsibities it must face them and conscientiousy
and vigorously lead the fight for the suppression of
the liquor traffic.
The League has been explicitly requested by its
constituency in Illinois investigate the governorshp
situation and as may seem necessary for the pro-
lection Of local option interests.
Danger in Division of the Vote.
In this present campaign both from the stand
point of the legislature and from the standpoint of
governor the danger lies in division of the the
local option sde and in the concentration of the vote
the liquor side. The Anti-Saoon League is quite
much responsible to its constituency-for reasons
already stated-in the of the selection of gov
ernor who may hold within his hands the destiny of
local option legislation in the matter of the seec
ton of members of the house of representatives and the
senate. We do not believe that the League would be
it's trust it, in the face of great danger to local
option legislation through gubernatoral influence, it
should remain silent And we do believe that the
League would be true to the responsibilities laid upon
it if it should permit defeat of county option through
division of the local option vote of the
ddates for governor when the defeat might have been
prevented by recommendation of the League.
League Stands By Candidate With Favorable Record
In legislative matters it is the settled policy of
the AnSaloon League reward faithful service with
faithful support In all of its campaigns the Anti
Saloon League has adhered to the policy of giving
favorable recommendation to those candidates who
have served in the general assembly and have sup
ported local option legislation unless those candidates
have changed their attitude the question. There is
no good reason why this principle should not be
tended to the matter of the governorship since the
governor because of his veto power and especially be-
cause of his influence is perhaps the most vital factor
in matters of legislation

FL Paso Now Has Over

(By Herbert Num-, City Engineer.)
1.-THE first paving in FL Paso was
placed in Improvement district
No. l, in the year 1906. This was
the Warren brothers specification
heavy bitulithic, a pavement that has
proved to be ideal for this particular
climate and district
This pavement. however, is not good
for grades of over s percent, on &C
count of its smooth finish, but this
can be partly overcome by a special
surface
other pavements have been tried
and the asphalt macadam with the
seal coat has also proved to be espe-
cially adapted to residence streets and
steep grades, owing to its slightly
rough finish.
This pavement is not unlike btu
lithic in appearance and stands heavy
traffic when placed on a good sub
grade. a good example of this pave

ment can be found on North FL Paso
street.
The oil macadam and petrolithic
pavements have been abandoned as
unfit for this climate as well as for
the reason that they are nearly as ex-
pensive as the better pavements.
An effort has been made by the ad-
mfnistration to limit all grades to 10
percent. as traffic is practically
stopped on any grade above that: this
effort is being met with serious oppO-
sition by property holders. especially
those interested in promotion.
All alleys, for sanitary reasons
should be paved, as they are made the
dumping places for refuse. and it is
considered that the paving in the rear
Of a 25 foot lot would only cost SIS

understand why they are neglected.

fertility RETURNED TO SOIL
Professor Hopkins Contends Phosphor-
u Should Be Applied in Live
Stock Farming a. In Grain.

OF course in this computation 1t is
assumed that there is practically no
loss Of fertility in the farmyard ma
nure, though it is we'll known that
practically this amount of care is
never used by the average or even by
the most careful farmer. Even il the
nitrogen and humus of the soil were
maintained Professor Hopkins says
that unless some supplementary food
stuffs are used, or manure purchased,
1T Is necessary to purchase and apply
some phosphorus in order to replace
that sold In the animals and animal
products, butter and milk being the
only Important farm products that do
not contain appreciable amounts OF
phosphorus.
1t Is contended by Professor Hop
kins that phosphorus should be ap-
piled in livestock farming the same as
in grain farming. because even under
a system of feeding all the crops there
is loss Of 20 pounds per acre in four
years with livestock farming when
grain crops yield so bushels per acre
and hay one and one-half tons per
acre and these are fed and the ma
nure returned to the land.

came. It never could have happened
If two umpires had been working, but
for some reason O'Day was on the job
all by himself, and of course was back
of the pitcher. Fromme hit the ball
straight at Evers, who grabbed it on

fash bluffed at throwing to the plate.

saw what was coming OF, and turning.
he stuck out leg, tripped Evers and
sent him rolling up the line. Evers
hadn't q chance to get back to his
feet, but he rolled and crawled and
finally slid to the base. and stuck his
hand onto the bag-with Fromme still
two steps away. That finished the
double play and it looked as II Evers'

meantime, seeing what was coming OF

didn't try to throw, and We were run
