New York World who featured the
Monday afternoon session with an
address on The Editorial Ideal and
Good Business, DO They Conflict 2'
Mr. Rogers spoke in a heart-to-
heart fashion, reviewing old methods
Of newspaper making and the con-
sequent development of the publish
ing Of big daiiies through the inSti-
tuition of ken ideas in the collection
Of news and the establishment Of ad-
vertising clubs throughout the United
States
In relation to the collection of news
MI Rogers said he was firmly con-
WINGED that more newspaper money
has been squandered chasing the il
lusive god representing news than
would have made four or five times
the success in securing the sort of
features and special articles any
community wants.
I'VE all get It through routine
channels and correspondents, he said.
The point is that the mere presen-
tation of the news, with the eXpeC-
fancy OF growth and profit, Is not
enough for present day success with
the greatest profit. The newspa pers
which have made most Roadway dur
ing recent times have given the peo-
pie what they want in the way OF
light entertainment, inestresting in
formation and a complete summary
of the news.
Truth and honesty in advertising
is a subject that is now sweeping the
newspaper world CT this country, -

PRoGREssIvEs IN PRAISE.

CF-rorn the Kansas city star. ?roS.p
In his speech in Kansas City, Kan,
last night, opening the state campaign
for he progressives, Henry J. Allen
declared for the new rule in county
and state affairs. defended President
Wilson's administration in its Next
can and otner poIicieS, and declared
that the new spirit In politics called
for the elimination of politics from
local and state Offices.
"The only argument that is made
for the amalgamation OF the progress
sive and republican parties is that
united we can whip the democrats
That has been the aim of ell our politi-
cal activities as far back as / can re-
men Der. That is the reason we have
made such slow progress In the de-
velopment OF government. Has II &C.
CURED TO you that possibly the demo-
Gratis do not deserve to be whipped?
II Woodrow Wilson carries out his
program and succeeds in doing what
everyone comedies that he is trying TO
do. possibly the American people viii
demand his reelection. and why
shouldn't they? That IS the new idea,
tn, new spirit in politics.
''If he fails it viii be because his
party is merely the democratic party
and unable 10 catch the new spirit.
Then mis- party should be defeated, just
a the republican party was defeated.
Let US get the vision OF the govern
nent rather than the party. The
people must first get possession OF the
government and then administer II
for the people who live under IL and
who pay the costs Of the administra-
tion. We can neither reduce taxes nor
promote the public welfare upon
platform OF whipping the democrats. "

a Bavarian Apple Pie.

One of the most delicious ways to
use apples in cookery is in a Bavarian
pie. Line a deep dish with pastry.
Fill it with breadcrumbs and bake it
until the pastry is done. Then remove
the crumbs and fill the cavity with
chopped apples and nuts and some
stoned raisins. Sweeten with sugar
and flavor with nutmeg and cinnamon.
Sprinkle with cake crumbs and bake
till it is brown on top and the fruit
within is thoroughly cooked. Spread
over the top a lemon favored mer-
ingue and let it become light brown
in the oven. Set the pie away to cool
before serving.

Fifteen years ago today Captain Al
fred Dreyfus was convicted by court
martini for the second time on the
charge OF selling French military Sc
crets to foreign powers. II was one OF
the most sensational trials of the age
during which il was alleged that the
peace OF Europe was threatened
through the "Dreyfus Affair" The YER
dict brought vigorous protests from
the entire civilized world, which was
convinced of the captains innocence.
Arrested five years before. he had been
convicted by his superior officers at
court martial, degraded before army
comrades, transported to Deviis Is
land to expiate the alleged crime. and
had been, through the efforts OF in
fluential friends, brought back to
France for a retrial. The eyes of the
world were turned upon the court at
Rennes. where the Semetic army of
ficer, the first Hebrew ever to have
entered the stan of the French army,
was battling for his honor. Four hun
dred journalists, from the four corners
of the earth, rubbed elbows with so
ciety women. some of whom had paid
as much as $500 for a seat. Sensation
followed sensation during the trial;
but none was more startling than that
testimony given by General MERCER.
the former minister of war. He averred
that during the Dreyfus affair, the
German ambassador at Paris had de-
livered an imperative demand that cet-
tain papers, alleged to have been
stolen from the German embassy, be
returned to Germany. From 8
o'clock" said the general while the
audience hung breathless on his revela-
ton of a crisis in the destiny of
France. until after midnight the pres
ident of the republic, the prime minis
ter. and I, waited to know whether
war or peace would be the outcome Of
the negotiations. We were within

TAVENNER'S GREAT PoPU-
LARITY.

The results of the democratic prim-
aries in the Fourteenth congressional
district yesterday were certainly grail
fying to Congressman Clyde H. Tay-
enner in his candidacy for renomina-
ton. The congressman's triumph was
so complete that the vote hardly needs
analysis.
This is especially true in Rock
Island. where there were precincts in
which there were no votes cast for his
opponent. and in others where the
votes for the other man were so few
as to be unworthy of comparison with
what the congressman received.
The same instances we're shown in
various out OF town precincts, partic-
ularly in Port Byron, Black Hawk
East Moline, Waterfowl, South Rock
Island. etc.
In Moline where the post office ap-
pointment was the issue, Tavenner won
out handsomely. thus yindicating his
course. The same was true in the
lower end of the district, where APP
pointments constituted the issue. Tav-
enner carried every county in the dis
trict. and despite the general unpopu-
larity of the primary law, the demo-
cratic vote was the largest 1t has
ever been in a primary election.
As far as Tavenner is concerned,
il was a vote OF approval, to which
many republicans did not hesitate TO
contribute. to a worthy congressman,
who has been on the job, who has been
true TO the people, and has made good
in every sense of the word.
The other democratic nominees in
Rock Island county and in the Thirty
third senatorial district are composed
Of strong men. who along with the
popular congressman will be elected

Gently acquired and has finally had
installed a new piece of machinery.
Whereat the said contemporary be-
comes so exuberant over its new ana
novel possession. that II claims the
earth. Dreams beyond the realms OF
ina gination. dreams OF enterprise; Of
having things and doing things that IL
never thought of before, have swept in
rapid succession before the vision of
the aforesaid contemporary. The JOY
of that new piece of machinery has
carried it of its feet.
OF a sudden it has become imbued
with the idea that it is a competitor
OF other newspapers; tSat it possesses
news facilities worthy of the name;
that it has a telegraph service that
can even be mentioned with the same
breath as the Associated Press, and
that it has pictures and illustratitns
too.
In the passing moment Of its de-
Iightful intoxication, it sees itself with
out a rival and cen, ventur-
ing upon the threshold of metropolitan
journalism-the envy and awe OF
newspaperdom-
And all because it has installed
new piece of machinery.

THERE SAT THE PLAYWRIGHT AT HIS WORK.
sit perfectly still. He referred the
matter to a theatrical man, who said
that usually a play was made by first
laying down what is called the
scenario-that is, the story. Some
playwrights use dummy figures on q
miniature stage while making the
scenario, and when they have finished
it they write the dialogue. 1t was
suggested to VronSky that Alexandra
witch when moving at his desk was
making his scenario and when still
was engaged in writing the dialogue
of his plays.
Vronsky gave orders at the postof-
flee that AleXandrovitch'S mail be re-
turned for examination. A letter thus
intercepted contained a statement that
the suspect had been working for sew
eral days on the scenario of play and
that he would spend the balance of the
week in putting in the dialogue The
watcher had noticed that his man had
been active at his desk. and for the
next few days he was remarkably
quiet, sitting for hours at a time with
out apparent motion. though several
dow. On each Of these occasions the
motion was followed by Il lady coming
to the window TO change the curtain
to let in or cut off light. as required.
1t did not seem to Vronsky that there
was any doubt that AleXandrovitch
was, during the day at least, following
his vocation as playwright. But this
had nothing TO do with any secret
work he might be doing. Besides the
official, having been ordered to watch
the suspect, remained at his post One
day he was sent for by his chief. who
asked him if he had seen Alexandra
witch the day before.
II did" was the reply. He sat
writing ut window OF his house most
of the day
Are you Sure?"

The chief looked puzzled. II have
information that he was seen in Mos-
COW yesterday" he said. He was dis
guised. but was recognized through his
2isGuise"
'Then be must have been in two
places at once"
Did you see him about noon?"
II did. When / went to dinner he
was writing ut his desk"

WAS he seen in Moscow at that
hour:"
My informant reports that he saw
him there"
Can you rely on your informant?'
THAT is the question. We never
know when we hire a spy that he does
not enter our service for the purpose
of gaining information for the revoiu-
tionists."

Tne chief or police in st. Petersburg
called one Of his most efficient men
into his private office and said to him:
"vronsky, there is plot Matching
to assassinate the grand duke. We
have but triGe of information about
It, but on what we have we must
build the rest. To do this we need to
proceed with the utmost caution. The
name of Peter Alexandrovitch has
been given us, but merely as a sus-
pect. 1 wish you to set watch upon
him, note who goes to see him and
whom he goes to see. Intercept MS
mail, but do not retain it. After hav-
ing examined it reseal it and pass 1t
on, but be careful to leave no traces
of having opened It"
The chief then gave his deputy the
address of the suspected man and sent
him forth on his work.
Vronsky hired a room opposite Alex
androvitch's house. Alexandroyitch's
name was down on the police lists as
playwright Every morning by o
o'clock be was in his study, which
was on the second floor, working at
his plays. Vronsky. whose room was
a story lower than the study. could
only see the playwright's head, though
his desk was close beside the window.
Sometimes Alexandrovitch would
move about the room or appear to
shift something before him on his
desk, but Vronsky could not see what
he was doing, only that he was in mo-
ton. At other times Alexandrovitch
would sit perfectly still. his eyes bent
down on his desk without the slightest
movement. Vronsky could understand
why he should move about the room
or at his desk, but not why he should

who was cashiered from the army for

the conviction for treason against
Dreyfus. Esterhazy is now an exile
from France, though not subject to
official punishment through a recent
amnesty law which pardons all offend

ever, in spite of all measures, some

so bad that removal becomes impera-

Questions and Answers.
f. F. F. inquiries: Would catarrh
of the head cause constant headache
in top and back of the head?
Reply.
1t would in some individuals. Your
headache may be independent of the
catarrh.
"RosaIind" asks: Please state
causes of goitre, and how it may be
cured.
Reply
Simple or cystic" goitre. the form
in which the neck is enlarged. but the
general health not particularly affect
ed, is believed to depend upon some
residential factor-climate, drinking
water, or character of food. 1t oc-
ours very frequently in certain dis
tricts, for instance about the eastern
end of Lake Ontario and in Michigan.
The other kind of goitre. called eek
ophthalmic" (meaning prominent eye
BALD, because the eyes usually pro-
trude noticeably. is believed TO depend
upon worry, fright or other emotional
factors. II seriously affofts health.
Either form may be cured by medical
treatment. An operation may be nee
essary in some cases.
Miss b. y. writes: Am II and have
quite a goitre. viii it go away with
out treatment? Is IL dangerous to I'M
dergo an operation for goitre?
Reply
You say nothing about your general
health, so we have no idea what kind
OF goitre it may be. If it is not very
large and your health is not much af-
fected the goitre may pass away in
a few months. Under present shock
less surgical technique the operation
for goitre is not dangerous.
