In Memoriam.

1t is with the deepest sorrow and regret
that | offer few words in memory of dear
little Doyle Stephens. who died January
goth, 1918. at the home of his parents, Mr..
Harry c. and Mrs, Zuelah Hull, near Whea-
ton, this county. in the sixth year of his age.
Doyle was sick only few days, being a
victim of that dread disease, scarlet fever
He was not in robust health. having re-
Gently recovered from an illness of diph-
iberia. His body was inferred in Rockville
Cemetery.
He was a bright and lovable child. the
idol of his parents, whose hearts are break
ing at the thought that they will never see
those beautiful brown eyes again that
pleaded with them for help in his greatest
agony, until at last, despite the kind and
gentle care bestowed upon him by his
parents and friends and the medical aid
of his skillful physician. the cord of life
was severed and death claimed its own.
While the hearts of his parents are the
deepest pierced, yet others. who so well
knew dear little Doyle and his winning
disposition, are wounded also. Fond par
ents, your loving eye could not pierce into
the future that awaited your darling. Then
dry your tears and look alone with the eye
of faith and say, Thy will, not mine, be
DONE"
No parting words will ever be spoken.
In yonder land so fair.
But songs of joy. and peace, and gladness
Well sing forever there.
Norbeck, Nd. Feb. 4. 1918.
A tribute Of love and affection to our
darling baby Rachel. daughter of W. Scott
and Grace White Beall, who passed away
6 years ago. February 6. 1918.
Six sad years with all its changes.
Since death strangely babe us part,
But. dear baby. all these changes
Cannot take you from our hearts.
You were just bud our Saviour gave us,
To cherish for while,
But just as you were opening.
He claimed you for His child
PAPA AND MANA.
On Sunday evening. January 27. 1918,
the soul of little Mary Lee, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer E. Hoyle. of Barnes
vile. took its flight to the kind Father
who had loaned her to US for the brief
period of year, II months and 20 days.
Let no hopeless tears be shed,
Holy is her narrow bed;
Death eternal life bestows.
Open heavens portal throws.
And no peril waits at last
Her who now away hath passed.
Safely, safely gathered in.
Free from sorrow. free from sin.
God hath saved from weary strife
In its dawn this fresh young life.
Now 1t waits for us above,
Resting in the Savior's love.
Jesus, when this life is done,
Join us to Thy little one.
And in thine own tender love
Bring us to thy ranks above.

Major Dan Morgan
Smith Now In France

Major Dan Morgan Smith, of the
357th Infantry, sailed on June l9 for
Europe with the American Expedi-
tionary Force. Major Smith will be
remembered as one of the effective
speakers in the national organization
of the Anti-Saloon League. At one
time he was general counsel for the
National Model License League, but
left that organization when he became
convinced that they were insincere in
their attempts to overcome the worst
evils connected with the saloon. His
voice and influence was factor of no
mean proportions in helping to de-
vclop sentiment for the total elinina-
ton of the liquor traffic. The many
thousands of people who heard him
will wish him we'll in his campaign
overseas.

Fatherland Above Party

The June 90 number of the Satur-
day Evening Post in an article en-
titled, "Fatherland Above Party" tells
of the political activities of the Ger
man-American Alliance. 1t shows how
this organization sought to control
both leading political parties of this
country in the interests of Germany.
1t was clearly shown during the in
vestigations before the sub-commit-
tee of the United States Senate that
the German-American Alliance was
supported financially by the breweries.
Will the people of the United States
permit the continued operation of the
business so closely linked in the past
with men and organizations un-
American in character and actions?

The Primary Is the Real Election
By Frank B. Ebbert

The important date the wet and dry issue in 1l
nos is September On this date the fate of the National
Prohibition Constitutional amendment far Illinois is
concerned, will be definitely settled.
About eghty-6ve per of the candidates nominated
for the Legislature PRIMARY day elected the day.
as under system Of nominations they will have oppo
siton whatsoever election day As illustration dis
trict that ordinarily elects Republicans will only put up
Republicans for nomination through their Senatorial
mttee In this district where the Democrats have
ally elected Democrat the Democratic Senatorial
will only nominate with the result that three
members of the Lower House of the Legislature only
nominated for each district their nomination equivalent
their election
As rule the best element of citizenship in Illinois does
realize the important fact that primary day in this state is
practically election day Tens of thousands OF the best c
OF he refuse go the primary and because
they declare what party ticket they wish and they
only for the candidates who that particular ticket
and furthermore bound TO their declaration far
the primary is concerned party for period OF
years. Rather than this declaration they ignore the
primary and wait for election day They do realize that
practical political proposition they have choice cleo
ton day. the candidate who stands for decency politics
eliminated primary day simply because many of the
Christian will go and perform their civic duty
the primary for fear they might be labeled party
If Illinois hopes raty the National Prohibition amend
Constitution, is absolutely imperative that the
best element of citizenship state realize the important
truth that primary day election day 1t is far i'm
portant primary day than is at the November
election.

NOTHING IN IT

The editor of the Danville CONNER
cial-News wants to know whether
there is anything in the proposition
that American people would take to
whisky if beer were stopped" and
answers in the negative, as follows:
Most emphatically there is not.
Prohibiting the brewing of beer would
reduce the consumption of whisky
enormously for two reasons:
81. The brewerics own so per cent
of the saloons and use them as beer
distribution agencies; the sale of
whisky is incidental. If brewing were
stopped, within few months half of
all the saloons in the country would
be closed, reducing enormously the
economic motive for promoting the
use of alcoholic liquors by the usual
selling devices.
"2. Prohibition of the brewing of
beer would Immediately send the
price of whisky to point which
would cause consumers to reduce very
materially the amount used.
at should also not be forgotten
that the government has full power to
commanders all stocks of liquor, thus
removing the supply from the mar
ket."

MEN HIGH IN ARMY
ENDORSE PROHIBITION

The American Association of Engi-
neers, Chicago chapter, which en-
braces Chicago and vicinity, recently
took a ballot on postal card on five
propositions. One of these PROPOSE
tions was the question of National
Prohibition. The result on this ques-
ton is announced in letter to S. E.
Nicholson from the secretary of the
association, Mr.. A. H. Krom, as fol-
lows:
"The report represents the senti-
ment of several thousand engineers in
Chicago as being SO per cent in favor
of National Prohibition and II per
cent opposed.
"This vote represents the sentiment
of the leading engineers and technical
men, who are today the principal fig
ures in the world war for democracy,
which is based largely upon engineer
ing principles"

Jack Lait, writing in Hearst's Mag
azine for June, tells the same story in
humorous style. Omaha Slim, discuss
ing the law against whisky manufac-
turing, says to his partner:
"'For the period O. the war is what
the law said. / call that rich. Period
is right. A period is what comes al
the end, an the sentence, amt it
Well, this period is the end, an the
sentence is for life. Can you see us
gettin' back our rights after the war
If the proud an primeval ins'titootion
couldn' stay here when it was here
it's got fine chancet to get back here
when it amt here"
This is how the same writer pic
lures Peoria now:

gress found out the Allies needed our

1918, by Il majority OF 272. The vets
contested the election. claiming that
the original petition calling for the
submission of the question was de-
fectiye on the ground that after the
signers signatures and addresses was
not written County of Logan and
State OF Illinois" Judge H. b. Eaton
of Madison county. one OF the wet
test counties in the state. who was
called in to hear this contest by Judge
Charles !. Gehlbach OF Logan county.
held that the petition was detective
and that no valid election could be
held under it because after the sign
ers' addresses was not written the
county and state, regardless Of the
fact that the statute does not require
this and all reported decisions hold
that this information is not necessary.
After the County Courts decision
was entered the whole proceeding was
attacked in the Circuit Court by Beach
& Trapp, attorneys, of Lincoln. ILL.,,
who represented the dry interests.
The action brought in the Circuit
Court was on the basis that the verb
hcation of the petition contestng the
election was insufficient in law and
that they failed to provide a proper
bond as is required by Statute in inc
bringing of this contest. The Circuit
Court sustained the drys on both
grounds, which means that the contest
brought by the vets was null and
void alb initio.
The judgment OF the Circuit Court
now makes Mt. Pulaski dry territory.
The wets have prayed an appeal from
the judgment of the Circuit Court.
