PROHIBITION Speech
'sMACHINIST ORATOR." COMPARES
DRY" AND WET TOWNS
GOOD CROWD PRESENT.

"A dry town is a dead town, but
il is dead only for the bad that is in
the town." was one of a number of
pointed declarations last night OF
John +. Cuneen, the "machinist or
ator,' who spoke on prohibition at
the corner of Egan avenue and
Fourth street.
Mr.. Cuneen is a rapid fire speaker,
whose words almost dance over n
another in their race TO trickle
through the ears of his auditors. He
held a large street crowd interested.
You frequently hear the remark
that a dry town is a dead town,
he said. "You will invariably find a
dry town dead for all that is bad,
but a very live town for all that is
good"
Mr.. Cuneen gave statistics in sup
port of his statements. He said that
Rockford and Jacksonville. both dry
cities, have the lowest tax rates and
best schools of any cities in the state
of Illinois.
In refutation of the assertion that
Just as much liquor is sold in dry
territory as in districts where saloons
are licensed, the speaker said that a
great st. Louis brewing company had
reported that its receipts had fallen
off $1,000 600 a year after Oklahoma
went dry He said that the concern
in question had been the largest ship
per of beer into Oklahoma, and he
asked why, IL just as much liquor was
sold there. had a million dollars
worth less beer been sent there by
one big brewery alone. He also ask
ed where that million dollars which
would have gone to purchase beer
went to.
Mr.. Cuneen said 1t Is true there
are bad dry towns, but declared
there never was a town as good NOR
ally when ii was wet as when ii was
dry

Big ATTENDANCE
GOV. BYRNE ADDRESSES TWO
LARGE AUDIENCES In

Two good crowds, one at Went

county this fall. The church was
filled, and a number were unable tc
gain admittance. Music was provid-
ed at the meeting by the committee

GOOD MEN NEEDED
MEMBERS FROM THIS COUNTY
SHOULD GO AFTER BIG
APPROPRIATIONS.

To the men Lake county sends to
the state legislature next Tuesday
will this district look for many need
ed state benefits in the county.
Chief among the improvements
now under way and in prospect are
those at the State Normal school.
The present members from Lake
county-Hans Urdahl, state senator,
and John Groce and /. A. Baldwin,
state representatives-gave evidence
of their prestige at the seat of gov
eminent by bringing to a successful
end a campaign for the new model
training school. Additions and alter.
ations at the State Normal school
which would cost thousands Of dol

have gone into the matter aver that
there is no doubt the improvements
can best be brought about by men of
experience and acquaintance in the
legislature.

chairman of the committee in charge

to equip themselves with ordinary

road in which there are stones so
large that they would be likely to
damage automobile tires. He said
the condition did not obtain for any
considerable length along the road,
and that if some of the auto n

their time in assisting in raking the
stones off the highway, the n re
naming objection to the road would
be obviated.
The three-mile stretch of roadway
has been graded. ~graveled and the
surface gone over with drags and
Jewelers.. The bed is solid over its

IMPORTANT POSITION
VOTERS SHOULD CAREFULLY
CONSIDER THE CANDIDACY
OF EMILY GLATZ FOR SU-
PERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOLS.

Entering the field as an independ-
ent candidate for county superintend-
ent of schools, Miss Emily Glatz is
receiving flattering encouragement
from friends and acquaintance who
are familiar with her high qualifi-
cations and admirable record as an
educator and director. Miss Glatz's
thorough training in local schools
and the Wisconsin State Normal
school, and her long successful work
as an instructor and an executive
head especially fit her for the i'm
portant office to which she aspires.
Although a resident of the county
most of her life, Miss Glatz is not
urging that fact as a reason for her
election.
Among the things that have con-
tributed to her fine qualifications are
that she graduated from the South
Dakota State Normal school here,
and also graduated. after a full six
year course. from the Wisconsin State
Normal school at Milwaukee. She
has a teachers life certificate in Wis
consin and a teachers life diploma in
South Dakota. She has taught sue
cessfuliy for four and a half years in
city and rural schools in Lake county,
and recommendations as to her high
qualifications, obtained here, were
material factors in the obtaining by
her of a desirable situation in Mil
waukee public schools, where she was
an instructor for about thirteen
years. Added to that is seven years
experience in teaching English to
classes of adult foreigners; expert
ence as club leader of adults In social
center work, and most important OF
all, wide experience in the training
of teachers. Miss Glatz has had
especial training in reading for the
grades, public school drawing, pub
lie school music and public school
penmanship. Being a tireless work
er, Miss Glatz has long taken a deep
interest in rural schools. and more
especially. Of course, those OF her
home county. She has given proof
that she considers the improvement
of rural schools and the rural school
system among the nations very i'm
portant problems.
Although Miss Glatz would not, II
elected, supervise the city schools,
she said today she hoped the city
electors would not lose sight Of the
Importance of good schools and good
schooling In other parts Of the com
munity.

1900 IN BABY CELEBRATION
"Theft of Thistledown" Given Twice
Saturday to Accommodate All
tFrom Mondays Daily.I


Seventeen hundred persons, it is
estimated, responded to the City
Federation of Women's clubs call
for the observance of Better Baby
Days in Abilene. OF this number
the greater percentage of mothers
and married women visited the ex-
hibits at the Lutheran church and
heard the educational lectures. Sat
urday afternoon the doors of the
Seelye theatre had to be closed and
admittance refused because of the
crowd, and a second performance of
THE Theft of Thistledown" given.
This entertainment, a fairy inter-
lude, was a beautiful and cute af-
fair, with the IS pupils of the lower
grades and kindergarten prettily
costumed as fairies, brownies and
the nature people. The woodland
setting, the blithe fairies and the
little folks with their childish songs
and solos made it all most interest
ing.
The motion pictures showed the
process of bottling pure milk, the
sterilization of bottles, and every
phase Of the industry which gives
the baby his pure bottled milk from
the dairy.
Much good for the betterment of
the baby's welfare and development
was accomplished in the three days
program, the results of which will
be seen in the rising and coming
generations.

of the blaze at 430 a. M, he found
only blazing heap of debris in the
basement of the fine brick building
constructed in 1913 at cost of
$4,000. The brick walls of the build
ing were standing this morning with
the exception of the west, which
fell in. The total loss is estimated
at $4,000 with insurance at $4,000.
The grounds adjoin the right-of-
way of the three railroads on the
south, but as the wind was in the
wrong direction to carry sparks
from passing engines and there had
been no fire to speak of in the fur
mace that day, there is no doubt but
that the building was fired by van

on the case.
Supt. Steen was to have placed a
standard school plate above the
door today, all requirements for a
standard school having been filled.
The building was strictly modern,
piped with Sand Springs water, had
a basement furnace and funds were
being raised to install electric
lights. Miss Mary Lesher and Miss
