In his address to club at Ottawa,
Gov. Willis spoke in a mysterious
way about the theft OF bill in the
last general assembly and intimated
that If the truth we're to be told the
state would rock from lake to river.
Well, he can't scare anybody. The
episode he talks about was fully ven
tilated at the time. The resolution OF
investigation which the governor said
was suppressed to save scandal was
aimed at Speaker Charles l.. Swain
and was partisan device to injure
his reputation. The speaker wei
coined action, but the authors of the
resolution never pressed It. The gov
'ernor is fully advised OF these facts
and he knew that the play was a
bogus one because one OF his first
appointments was that Of Mr.. Swain
whom he made trustee of Miami uni
versity. There was no bill stolen In
the last general assembly and 1t III

the blame only on the proper parties.
We do not see how an architect
could Ok. a building like the Chill
dren's Home, and clear his skirts and
secure a certificate of approval from
the state board of health, and fur
thermore if the contract calls for first
class work the contractor has failed
to perform his contract.
While all of the commissioners
have answered our inquiries, there is
one redeeming feature of these an
swers and that is: one commissioner
states that he had made mistake in
having placed too much confidence in
the architect, which confidence was
misplaced.
Your committee feels that in public
work the private citizen ought to take
more active interest and assist the
public officials in seeing that work is
properly done.

Pshaw! Harding, according to Sena

then ran himself And in 1908 he de-
clared for Foraker for president and

Potash and Phosphates.

The agricultural department of the
University Of Illinois hac published an
other report dealing with the soils OF
this state and the fertilizers which
they need. This new investigation,
like the last, shows that Illinois farm
ers need not worry about potash. With
the exception of swamp lands our soils
have all the potassium salts they need,
and the addition of more is a stimu-
liant rather than food
What Illinois land usually does lack
is phosphorus, and the United States
has plentiful supply of phosphate
rock. This is good news to farmers
who had been taught that the lack OF
German potash would cut down their
crops. 1t tends likewise to stimulate
an American industry which was be-
ing hidden behind clever foreign ad-
vertising. By the time this war is
over, America will know how much
potash fertilizer it really needs. and
what the stuff is worth on the SOIL

WILL ORPET IS
ACQUITTED OF
H. MURDER CHARGE

Waukegan, ILL.,, July Twill Or
pet, wisconsin university student,
was acquitted Saturday night of the
accusation of numbering Marion Lam
bert, pretty Lake Forest girl.
The jury that for six weeks had
heard two versions of the tragedy of
Helms Wood, where Marion was
found dead in the snow on February
10, chose the version of the defense
that Marion committed suicide.
The verdict was returned at 7:45
o'clock, and 80 minutes later Orpet
was speeding toward his fathers
home at Lake Forest to spend his first
night out of Jail Feb. II.
The state has contended that Or
pet, at his tryst, gave Marion cyanide
of potassium under guise of an abor-
tive, because he was tired of her and
wanted to marry Celeste Youker.
The defense contended that Marion,
tired of life, and fearing she was to
become mother, killed herself. Or
pets own story of the tryst bore out
this latter story He said he had told
Marion he would not write her or see
her again, and that she took some
kind of poison and died.
