the state conventions in your state in
their platforms this year promise five
radical reforms in state government.

into law by the legislature next win.

This problem in political mathe.
mates was submitted to a group of
congressman by Representative Bill
ly" Hughes Of New Jersey. That Con.
gressional arithmetic is not an exact
science was proved by the fact that
the answers varied from two down
to zero, with zero the prime favorite
in the betting.
Then Mr.. Hughes told them the
story of New Jersey and its expert.

Platform Promises.
The Democratic state platform in
the New Jersey campaign of 1910
promised five particular reforms, each
of them radical and each of them ap-
parently academic. They were: A
new election law to take the control
of nominations out of the hands of the
bosses; an employers liability law
just to both employer and employee; a
corrupt practices act to stop the
wrongful or excessive use of money in
elections; public utilities commits

has, of course, always been true that
the health of the people should de-

health measures should receive ade-

consideration and support, and politi-

G. L. sHAEFFER, Local Editor
Receive Resignation with Regrets.

The resignation of Rev. G. L.
Shaeffer as the pastor of the Congre-
gational church of Bloomington and
Orleans was received by the members
throughout his parish not eonly with
surprise, but with the deepest regret.
With surprise because of the entirely
cordial relations that have always ex-
listed betweensthe pastora and GALL of
his pensioners and becausesa-it had
been understood by consultation at
the annual church meeting at the be-
ginning of the year that he would re-
main with US, perhaps for number
of years longer. The regret is oc-
casioned not only by the break in the
regular work of the church necessar ly
resulting from change of pastor but
sonal ties that have been so firmly
intimate Christian Fellowship and
work together. Doubtless these re-
grets are equally shared by Mr..
Shaeffer with his parishioners and it
is understood that the only considera.
ton that led him to make the change
was, the conservation of his health
and ability to continue in the work
of the ministry; hence his decision to
! change to an easier field. Mr..
| Shaeffer is by nature very strenuous
man, doing with his might whatever
! his hands find to do. and his activities
have by no means been confined to the
specifically church work demanded of
every pastor, but have broadened out
into all departments Of the civic life
of the community and everything that
seemed for the good of the community
and upbuilding of community life has
not only int rested him but has re
ceived his hearty endeavor. Conse-
ouentIy he has been leader in many
of the enterprises of our community
life.
He fine pulpit orator and always
holds the closest attention of his audi
euce. In his theology I should class
him as a liberal conservatist, holdi oe
fast to the great doctrines of the
church and yet welcoming new truth
as he apprehends it. He is positive
ia his convictions and fearless in stat
ing them, yet tolerant of the equally
honest convictions of those who dc
not think as he does. He is a very
genial man, DESTROYS of being friend
ly with every one, not in a perfume
tory way but in genuine frlendllness
: hence he is popular among all classes
old and young, cnurcn members dHt
non church members. The church
has been prosperous under his pastor
ate having received into membership
. on confession and by letter about on
hundred during the five and hal
years since he became our pastor
Financially the church has prospere
during his pastorate, goodly shar
of which may properly be credited t
him. When he leaves us as we eX
pect the first of May, Notwithstanding
our disappointment, the best Wishe
and prayers Of the church will folio
} him and his family to his new field 0
. labor and the hope that his health al
strength will permit him many year
yet in the mi0istry. A Layman.

Another Representative Candidate.

Another of our foremost citizens
has announced his candidacy for town
representative. o. w. Locke has
long been one of our most successful
merchants and is a man of good sound
business principles 35and if elected
would ably represent his fellow cltI-
zens. The following is MIR. Locke's
statement to the voters of the town
of Barton:
To the voters of the town of Bar
ton. Am I a candidate for the office
of town representative?
This question in various forms has
been repeatedly asked me within the
last few days, and I answer thus:
In the sense of having sought the
nomination or election am not
candidate. Up to this writing l have
asked no one for support. nor even
suggested the possibility of being a
candidate. Many prominent citizens
have recently asked that / let my
name be used and serve If elected.
I am not insenslble to the fact that
it is a mark of respect which any man
may prize. But to represent the pro :
gressive town of Barton is an honor,
| the memory of which any self-re-
speeding citizen would cherish as one
of life's choicest mementos.
| Therefore, in consequence OF the
earnest solicitation of many friends. l
have consented to be candidate IN
the sense of having responded to this
call.
Now once in the field l am here to
stav until the votes are counted. In
view of the fact that the town IS al
ready being canvassed, l acknowledge
friends who have urged me forward
that | thus frankly state my position.
Hence this letter to every voter On
the check list.
I shall not importdne anyone to
vote for me- I do not ask anyone to
make me a pledge. l firmly believe
in every voter feeling free to express
his preference for the man he thinks
best fitted for the place. without any
undue influence. Other candidates are
in the field. Give just consideration
to each one and as your judgment die
tates so cast your ballot without fear.
favor or prejudice. If you feel thai
you can consistently give me your
support I thank you very sincerely
for your help. If not, vote for the
man of your choice and will respec
you for the sincerity of your convlc
tions.
If defeated | shall long remember
the many friendly expressions recent
: ly given me and cherish no regre
because of having complied with Thu
sincere request.
If elected l will be deeply grateful
: for the honor and | trust profoundly
sensible of the responsibility thereb!
imposed, and will take up the conse
: quenr duties with no cher pledge thar
this. To guard the interests of tn
town of Barton, the county Of Or

the best of my ability and be true t
