Women are natural educators, espe-

us Russian women have been drawn

down that ignorance which units the
large mass OF our people for free gov

MAINTAINING THE ISLAND
CITY PARK.

The city commission did right in
declining to rent the Island City ball
park to a carnival company. That
would have insured quick destruction
of everything within the enclosure. for
carnival companies are not given to
the practice of restoring what they
tear down. Not only would the
fences and bleachers have suffered.
but the ground would have been torn
up and damage done TO the playing
field.
But the commission should go far
Their and protect the property against
undesirable tenants. When the peo-
pie voted a year to purchase the park
they did so in order to have a place
where sports might be fostered. They
anticipated that the fences and stands
would be kept in repair and the dia-
mond maS1tained in reasonable condi-
ton. This has not been done. Not
only have the improvements rapidly
deteriorated but the diamond was al
lowed last year TO grow up waist high
to weeds Nothing has been done so
far this year TO prevent similar con-
ditions.
What the commission should do Is
TO employ a man who can give at
least part of his time TO keeping the
grounds in shape and arrange for the
renting OF them for baseball or other
sports to which IL IS desired to charge
admission. II ought TO be possible to
make the grounds almost pay for the
expenses incurred until such time as

not been able to obtain the nomination
| he could not possibly have reached
congress.
Nowadays II is different. Under the
direct primary system the candidate is
nominated and elected directly by the
people.
1t is no longer necessary for the
member of congress to report to the
boss for orders. The boss can not as
sure him a denomination now; the only
way he can obtain his denomination is
at the hands of the people. In other
words. under the direct primary sys-
tenn. the congressman must take his
orders from, and make his reports to,
the people; the people have taken
the place of the political boss. The
primary system in Illinois is not by
any means perfect as yet; but il is
certainly a great benefit to the people
mot to the political .boss) as compared
TO the old convention" system.
/ have written the above to explain
why / am making this report of my
years stewardship as a representative
in congress, directly to the people OF
my district. Having been nominated
by the people. and elected by the
people, l feel IL is my duty to make
my report directly to the people, and
TO obtain their views as to what action
should take on pending and future
legislation.
Government Will Save Millions Of
Dollars.
One of the things to which / have
given great deal OF my time has been
