ANNUAL SESSION
HELD IN PEORIA
Engineers of Illinois Gather for
Convention at Distillery
Town.
THE TRI-CITIES FOR 1915?
Plan to Come Here In Two Years for
5i-State Convention-Ferdina
Bein and w. {. Hill Honored.

Ferdinand Bein, an engineer at the
John Deere Wagon company, has been
selected as one of the five engineers
/ of the state of Illinois to cooperate
with the assembly in passing a law
which will call for more stringent ex-
! aminations for stationary engineers
! before they can secure licenses in this
state, and present prospects are that
the law will pass without trouble. An
investigation has been in progress for
some time, and it has been discovered
that stationary engineers are practic-
ing their trade throughout the state,
some of whom are entirely incompe-
tent. The idea of the new law is to in
crease the standard of requirements.
The state will probably be divided in
to eight inspection districts, in each
of which will be located an examining
board. whose duty it shall be to frame
examinations for prospective engi-
neers and pass upon the merits of their
work before granting licenses to oper-
ate as professional men in Illinois.
Applicants who succeed in passing
with creditable marks are granted
one year license. and renewals may
then be secured yearly without exam
nation, according to the discretion of
the board. Examining fees will be
placed at price well within the limits |
of any mans purse, but large enough |
TO defray all expenses incurred by the /
board of examiners.
Hill Reelected President.
W. E. Hill of Moline was given
distinctive honor by being reelected !
president of the state association. at
the meeting which has just closed at
Peoria. His work during the first
term as head of the association met
with such unanimous approval that his
election was assured some time ago.
Mr.. Hill is bestowed with an addi-
tional honor in his reelection owing to
the fact that he is the only president
to have served more than a single
term since the association was organ
lied.
A proposition to name Peoria as the
permanent convention center for the
association was turned down and De
catur was selected for the 1915 meet
ng. A move to increase the attend
lnce at the annual meetings was adop-
ed, whereby each local association will

decided that primaries were ex-
pensive superfuities and would
refer the entire arbitrament to
the final election. The inference
that Winslow might proftably
follow this example was COM
battGd on the ground that pri-
maries are useful to weed out
the less popular candidates.
Whereupon the chairman asked
the legal adviser whether candi-
dates thus "weeded out" could
not remain in the race if they
SO desired. The response was to
the effect that SO far as any legal
restrictions were concerned they
could keep on running with the
celerity of a scared coyote. DR..
Sampson entered demurrer on
the basis that such candidates
would have to go on the final
ballot as independent candidates,
and therefore must secure new
nomination papers signed by vo-
tiers who had not supported any
other candidate for the same Of
flee, which was held to be prac-
tically prohibitory.
Finally the matter was put to
a vote and W. H. Dagg and May
Or LaPrade were appointed tel
lers to ascertain the result. The
blanket ballot resolution carried
with virtual unanimity.
There was still considerable
expression of opinion that the
action taken was void. Mr.. Cro-
zer stated that it was to be taken
as simply advisory and that the
candidates would meet and adopt
such course as they deemed ex-
pedient. Mr.. Conwell stated
that all nominations must be
signed by the chairman of some
definite organization and also
that a voter entering the polls
must call for party ballot of
some sort.
j. s.. AIelnQivnat came to tie
r scue with the proposal that a
pa .5y to be known as the Wins
low party be organized; that all
candidates go on ticket under
this heading. The meeting there
upon resolved itself into the
Winslow party, Mr.. Keyes was
retained as chairman. and Mr..
Grocer declining the honor of
secretary, M. L. Vaughan was
selected to thus officiate.
Just as a final diversion, w.
G. Kelly requested that the Sec
retary read the minutes of the
meeting. 1t thereupon developed
that Mr.. Grocer had been so in
terested in the progress of the
debate that he had failed to take
a note. Amid the merriment
thus created, the meeting ad-
iourned, with everyone appar-
emily satisfied with the outcome.
Town Attorney A. Y. Moore,
who was prevented by family
illness from attending the mass
meeting, met with the various
candidates for Office Friday eve
ming to map out a legal and con-
venient method of voting. A
ticket without any designation
save as pertaining to the town
of WinsloW will be used.
The following candidates have
filed papers and their names will
appear on the primary ballot:

RULES FOR LONG LIFE.

Those who are in search of health and as the result thereof a long life and happy one find much to think about and study in the suggestions which are advanced by those who are in a position to offer advice, or lay down rules in accordance with their observation and practice for insuring health. Men of great age are therefore listened to with close attention because they are in a position to speak from experience over a long period, and age as Rousseau says lis the parent of deliberateness in council, and experi- ence in execution"
 Every nonogenarian or centenarian has his rules, whether he admits it or not and the regulations which Har- vard's oldest alumnus. Dr James L. Wilmington gives compare very favor ably in their number and simplicity though they may differ in text. with other rules for longevity. He says:
 Sit up until eleven o'clock at night if you desire to.
 If you smoke smoke a little when you feel so inclined.
 Be reasonably careful in what you eat.
 Use common sense in all your ways of living"
 Keeping late hours and the use of the weed in any form are in direct op- position to the life rules which others have laid down but throughout his pre- scription moderation is the keynote This combined with the use of com mon sense in all the ways of. life can not fail to have good results. It is along such lines as this that there is inclined to be a general agreement among those who set forth rules for living healthful1y and long.

Defeat the lncompetents.

Mir. Editor: Thank you, Mir Lam phere of Waterford It is certainly more pleasant to receive bouquets than brickbats-but the second time reading your letter prompts me to say that you had better come again also. Now l have in mind a suggestion that to me looks good. l tried in my feeble way two years ago to get some "get-to- gether scheme started but neither re- publican or progressive agreed with me. Progressives of prominence went even so far as to say that any motion made at their state convention with a view of endorsing the republican slate and congressional ticket would be immediately squeIched by the sing ing of Onward Christian Soldiers, or something else, but I wasn't at that convention.
 Even the editor of your valuable Bulletin soundly trounced me for dar- stand for the republican state and con- gressional ticket. My idea was that to keep incompetents out of congress. Such was the proper course.
 I rather think most people who are opposed to our nation lowing to the will of foreign powers and eagerly opening the American markets to for eign producers, to the detriment of home industry, agree with me
 Now I have this to suggest. What is the matter with the republican, pro- gressive and all anti democratic voters getting together on basis of gain to all?

FIGHTING AGAINST TOLLS.

Many are the arguments which are being made for the retention of the canal toll exemption clause. Not only is it being sought as an indirect sub sidy but no little pressure is being brought to bear upon the tender sub feet of knuckling to Great Britain and European nations, without a proper realization of the obligation which is imposed upon this country of carrying out the provisions of the treaty which it signed.
 There is undoubtedly a determined effort to create lot of improbable sit nations for the purpose of influencing the public mind and legislation. How readily Senator Jones fell into such trap when he made a severe attack upon the idea of removing the toll exemption is indicated by the retrac- ton which he subsequently made be- cause his statements were based upon biased and unSubstantiated informa- tion.
 Of a similar nature are the claims which are being put forward that un- der the proposed bill it will be neces- sary for the battIeships of this coun- try to pay tolls in going through the canal Such is against the stipulations of the treaty which considered such a matter but it is calculated to cause q. wrong idea to prevail regarding the change. The idea of battleships pay ing tolls would be on a par with a proposition for a city to tax itself for whatever would be paid out of one pocket would go into the other. Even though tolls were collected thereon it would impose no burden upon the country
