You Haze Three Votes, Mr.. Voter

You have three votes cast at the primary April
O. his is not hguratve language, it is literally true
The law provides that each voter at his own
party primary casting his vote for representative
TO the legislature may three votes for one man,
one and half for each of two may give vote
to all three
If you put your cross mark IN front OF the name
Of only one candidate that gives him three votes II in
front Of the names of two candidates. that gives them
vote and half each and if you put your cross mark
in front of the name Of three for representative
all three get vote api-ee.
This is important. 1t has dangerous and tar
reaching consequences. Suppose 100 wet voters
vote their 900 votes between two candidates. they Will
thus get $50 votes apiece Suppose, on the other
hand that 100 dry" vote their 900 votes among
three candidates. that that each dry candidate
will oct only 100 votes That would plainly mean that
all three dry" men would be defeated and both wet
men would be nominated.
Each voter has three and he cannot afford to
cast any of them for candidate who has not received
the recommendation of the League. 1t the Anti
Saloon League has recommended one man IN your dis
trct on your ticket give that all three OF your
votes If the Ant-Saloon League has recommended
two men on your party ticket at the primary give them
a vote and half apiece

Rock Islands Shame


Rock Island has brought disgrace upon herself
that will require many years to eface lhe story OF
the riots that resulted in the death OF several men and
the woundine of others is we'll known lhe news
papers of the country have given liberal space IN ad-
vertsnp Rock Islands shame There is one feature OF
the case that deserves emphasis than the average
newspaper is wont to give The authorities closeo the
saloons" Sure they always do when mob rule threat
ems They did likewise in Springfield when the mop
was getting the upper hand there they take TINS same
precaution in every community where the peace is IN
jeopardy from a mob. Rock Island followed wen
established precedent in this action But this isn't the
first evidence that the people Of Rock Island have had
that the saloon is hndrance to the cltys welfare
Its groggeries have long been an unusually potent
factor in contributing the msrue that has made the
citv notorious They have increased cr1mnal1ty and
indigency and have hopelessly bankrupted the city
PITY is that the authorities fail to recognize them as
real danger except in some such time as now
There are people in Rock Island and Rock Island
county who didn't require reign OF mob rule to I'M
press them with the fact that the saloon is an enemy
to the peace and prosperity OF community March 4
1912 two weeks before the riot, at special meeting
of the board of supervisors Of Rock island county,
supervisor Venabe offered the following resolution
which was referred to the judiciary committees
To Chairman and Board OF Supervisors OF Rock Island
County, Illinois:
Gentlemen:
Whereas, the cities of Rock Island Moline and other
places in Rock county license saloons that create
drunkenness, debauchery, crime and pauperism, and
Whereas These places take and use the money gotten
from the for their and benet and allow the
entire county pay their poor bills that they create and the
people in districts having voice IN the matter
making it unconstitutional, therefore, be it
Resolved That the county back first principles and
each township and subdivision Rock Island county its
poor bills.
Why wouldn't it be good plan to let the voters
decide whether they want to retain the saloon the
pauper maker or not? The county is now SIIIooo IN
debt The riots of last week doubt will increase the
indebtedness. Nobody deny the saloons part in
Rock Islands political corruption. Sober taxpayers,
manv who are disfranchised the question Of Rock
Islands Saloons will have to dig down little deeper
into their pockets How long will the taxpayer stand
for this injustice?

Jimmy's. three now. And he
keeps right on getting fat and
sassy. Now, he weighs 100
pounds, without clothes and just
before mealtirne. He weighs
more than his mother or his older

He has the appetite of a cotton

that's good to eat, but he likes
pie best.
For breakfast he gets four large

glasses of buttermilk; or two cups
of coffee. He holds that, and it
holds him for little while, then
he gets on the outside of more
biscuits, butter and syrup.
At noon he gets rid of a large
plate of greens or any kind of
vegetable, with boiled~bacon, corn
bread, biscuit, two glasses of but

afternoon he makes a raid or two
on the pantry and then has sup

meals.
And after that he doesn't have
to eat any more until the next

BALTIMORE CONVENTION
GETTING TO BUSINESS
WILSON WON in SOUTH DAKOTA
CONTEST THURSDAY.
Expected That Nominations Would be
Entered Upon on Thursday
Evening.

Dispatches from Baltimore on
Thursday were to the effect that it
was thought the Democratic national
convention would get down to the
business of nominating a president
some time Thursday evening.
The convention On Thursday over
ruled the credentials committee and
seated the Wilson delegates from
South Dakota, ousting the Clark dele
gates which had been seated by the
credentials committee. New York's
80. votes were on the Wilson side in
that contest.
It was stated the lines were being
tightly drawn between the Bryan-Wil-
son forces and the Clark forces-that
the convention seemed to be looking
towards a test of strength between a
Bryan Wilson coalition and Clark.
The wilson delegates from South
Dakota were seated by vote of
639 1-2 to 437.
Because he was not in sympathy
with the forces seemingly in control
of the Baltimore convention" William
J. Bryan on Wednesday refused to ac-
cept the chairmanship of the resolu-
tions committee unanimously rendered
him. Senator John w. Kern, of In
diana, was elected, after Mr.. Bryan
twice refused the honor.
The details of the first days session
of the convention are given elsewhere
in The Herald and News today.
Deadlock Probable.
Charleston, June democratic
convention overrules credentials COM
mittee and gives Wilson contested
South Dakota delegates, counted here
tofore for Clark.
The balloting for nominations is ex-
pected this afternoon.
There is much dark horse" talk.
New York's ninety delegates voted for
Wilson in the South Dakota contest.
The contest lines are closely drawn
between Bryan and Wilson on the one
hand and Clark on the other, making
deadlock probable.

REPORT on RURAL POLICE.
Sheriff BufOrd Submits Report of the
Work of the Two Rural Police
men-Fines Collected.

Editor Herald and News: Herewith
/ beg to hand you a report to-date,
showing arrest and fines through the
rural police of the county since the
18th of March, 1912:
T. G. Williams and o. H. Peterson,
rural policemen, are patroling the
county. These men have demeaned
themselves in way to gain the ap-
proval of the tax payers and citizens
throughout the county, who assure me
that there is a greater feeling Of safe
ty and security, and especially with
the ladies, since their installation.
Neither of them travel their routes
relatively or at stated times, but try
to appear Unexpectedly and irregular
ly and in that way to keep the Grim
inal classes in the dark as to their
movements. There has been convic-
tons of rowdy crowds on the high
ways. and convictions of black and
white gangs of disorderly persons,
which so often end in blood shed and
expensive litigatiors in the circuit
courts.
Report of T. G. Williams, rural po-
liceman:
Twenty-three arrests up to date;
fines aggregating $3.50; one sentenced
on gang for eight years, and estimate
the labor on gang at $3.50 per year,
would amount to $1,000.
Report of O. H. Peterson, rural po-
liceman:
Twelve arrests; fines aggregating
$780, And in addition to above the
rural police has made five seizures ON
contraband liquor, amounting to four
teen gallons.
Would be glad if you would repub-
lish the law for this county of the
rural police, and greatly oblige.
Yours very respectfully,

KINDERGARTEN EXHIBIT.
Fine Exhibition by Miss Rose Harris
kindergarten Class-The
Program.

One of the most interesting of the
many commandments that have been
held in Newberry during the COM
mencement season was the exhibition
given by the kindergarten class taught
by Miss Rose Harris, on Friday even
ing. The pity is that more
of the Newberry people were
not present to see what this work
means, though there Was fairly good
audience in attendance. If the parents
of children under the school age
could appreciate and know just what
Miss Harris is doing in this work, she
would receive more hearty support
and would have great many more
children. The age at which she takes
them is really the most important age
in the life of a child, and proper and
careful training at that age will be of
great help to the child through the
years of it's school life and through
the years to come.
