GETS MANY RESPONSES.
Ethelbert Stewards Plan for Illinois
Society Wins Approval.

An Illinois Society" in the National
Capital would seem to fill real want
judging from the prompt response which
Ethelbert Stewart, chief statistician of
the bureau of labor statistics, has re-
ceived from fellow Illnoisians who read
about his desire to establish society.
Mr.. Stewards first aim was to devise
some method to get before Congress a
bill to allow absent voting" on the part
of citizens of Illinois living in the Ma
tional Capital. To help in this aim he
thought OF founding an Illinois Society
and it would seem that this aim will be
realized. and thereby the first active
steps looking toward legislation to allow
absent voting" taken.
AS soon as Mr.. Stewart gets enough
responses he will hire hall and call the
organization meeting together.

Each Must Do His Bit.
''You may do but very little in adding
to the wealth of the world" Mr. Post
warned the graduates, but the little
you do do will not be done until you do
it," The labor official pointed out to
his young hearers that if man would
be a whole man he must not only have
mind and a trained mind, but he also
must have a heart and a sympathetic
heart
Following are some aphorisms from
Mr. Posts brief address:
"a crank is somebody who sees the
good. but doesn't know the way to it."
~ man all mind, with no heart
could you imagine better picture of

Life is constant succession of end

world is your oyster. but 1 am going

appointments before you"
Every one may be a success, if true
