WANTS MORE POWER GIVEN
TO GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS

Urbana, Ill, July 31.-That the gov
ernor of Illinois should be made the
read head of the state administration
instead of having little or no real au-
thority in most departments, President
Edmund J. James of the University of
Illinois urged in an address yesterday
at the Urbaua chautauqua.
The efficiency of the government of
this commonwealth" he said, might
be enormously increased by making
the governor the real head of the state
administration, organizing different de-
partments of public administration cor
responding to the needs of the COM
monwealth and putting them under the
charge of definitely organized bureaus.
subject to the control and inspection of
officials who themselves are respon-
sible to the governor.
In this way we should lay the
foundation for efficient government.
Whether we obtained il or not would
turn entirely upon what kind of
governor we chose and how closely we
held him responsible for the work to
be done"

HERETO PROMOTE
WEEK OF RACING
Waterloo Man Confers With
Secretary of Exposition
Park Co. on Event.

George W. Holcome OF Waterloo,
Iowa was in Rock Isiand yesterday
comforting with the secretary of the
Exposition Park company concerning
the possibility OF putting on a race
meeting here during the week of
September 20.
Mr.. HolCome is a promoter of more
than local renown. He is the man who
promoted the Galesburg district fair,
which was such a success last year,
Notwithstanding il was held the same
week Of the Mercer County fair
Mr. Holcome organized the Water
ioo-Cedar Falls District Fair last whit
er and this year has built new track
barns and grandstand there costing
several thousand dollars. he has al
ready received the entries of lis hoT-
ses for his races there. and has every
assurance that this fair will be as good
or better than the GalesburG fair.
II Mr.. Holcome decides TO promote
a race meet here. ii will be with rs
idea OF giving the people the best
entertainment they have had for years
in that line and perhaps next year
he will be able 10 promote a district
fair for Rock Island.
Rock Island Is one OF the largest
counties in the state and the county
fair that bears its name, is far below
the average fair. The people Of Rock
Island should fall in line and use
their influence toward any move that
will tend to bring a fair nearer home.
