MERRIAM'S PLATFORM

Charles z. Merriam. candidate for
the Republican mayoralty nomination,
urges the necessity of Chicago elect
ing a mayor who can command the
confidence of both the city and the
state in order that the city's demand
for home rule may receive just con.
sideration in the state constitutional
convention. Captain Merriam pointed
to his record as a city legislator as a
guaranty that he will be able to press
Chicago's claims with expectation of
a friendly hearing. He issued state.
ment setting forth in some detail his
views on the subject of home rule.
"a necessary plank in Chicago
platform Is home rule in local AFFAIRS
Capt. Merriam said. "Chicago's gov
eminent was made away back In 1870,
and since then there have been so
many changes in the world that the
old patched up plan Is no longer ade.
quate. Chicago has outgrown the law
which fifty years ago was good
enough. What other business In town
is run on an 1870 basis?
1--WE ought to have the power to
make our own city charter as we
want It; to adopt non.partisan cleo.
ton system, II the people wish 1t; to
say what the machinery Of local gov
eminent shall be, IL we care to change
Il: to make whatever local rules and
regulations we want, subject, OF
course, to the general laws Of the
state. 1t is ridiculous, or would be II
II were not so serious. that Chicago,
the fourth city In the world, should
be Obliged to run down to the state
legislature for every little change in
its machinery or to get any additional
power necessary to keep up with the
times.
These Chicago requests not only
take up the time OF the Legislature
unnecessarily, but the lack Of local
authority to deal with local AFFAIRS
interferes with the growth Of the city
with the business development OF the
community and with the daily comfort
of our people. II ia high time that
Chicago be given authority to meet
the modern situation.
Particularly ought Chicago to have
full control over its public utilities
gas. electric light, street and elevated
railways and teiephones-if not under
federal regulation. In 1918 ! was In
the front ranks OF those who were
fighting for greater control over loca
utilities In Chicago, but the people
were not fully aroused at that tim'
and such power as Chicago had wal
weakened by the law then passed.
Il am sure that every man o.
woman who digs down for an extr'
penny on the Il or puzzles over thu
peculiar gas bills now knows wha
home rule means and how importan
II Is to him or her personally. TIL
fact is that Chicago understands thes
local questions better than the stat
outside, and we would be better salts
fed with our own conclusions any
way.

Chiropractic-What It Is.

Chiropractic (Kiro.prak.tik) is the
Science of locating the cause Of dis.
ease and the Art OF removing It by
adjusting the spine, which relieves
pressure on the nerves and allows
natures life-spark, or nerve energy, to
flow freely to and from the brain.
The cause of disease, as the Chiro.
practor finds II, Ia q subluxatioa of one
or more Of the vertebrae which dee
CREASE the size of the opening through
which the spinal nerves pass, and
impinge or press them. hence shut off
q portion OF the nerve supply to the
organs or parts, and the result will be
disease, deranged functional activity.
A normal nerve supply to any organ
or part Of the human body generates
normal function and maintains health.
In adjusting the vertebrae to re.
lease the pressure, the Chiropractor
uses and needs nothing but his hands.
The whole object OF his work Is com.
pleted when this pressure Is removed
Nature does the curing. In some cases
daily adjustments are necessary for q
time. In other cases, however. three
adjustments a week will bring splen
did results. The Chiropractor should
be the Judge as to the frequency Of
the adjustments.

law local control over utilities has
been understood by all sides in Chi
cago to include legal and financial
power TO own and operate utilities II
and when the public desires to adopt
such a policy. The purpose of giving
such authority is to place in the citys
hands the power to take whatever
course regarding public utilities the
people may deem expedient. There
has been no disagreement on this
point for many years. OF course. con.
stitutional changes are necessary to
bring this about and should be Sc
cured.
Home rule is now more important
than ever because the state constitu.
tional convention just approved by
the people will soon meet. In that
body the fate of Chicago for the next
generation will be decided. II we fail
to obtain there the power we need,
then the door will be closed for prob.
ably another fifty years. To very
large extent the outcome will depend
on the next mayor Of Chicago. We
can count, am sure, on the generous
cooperation of Gov. Lowden In an
effort to help our city. II the mayor
commands the confidence of the peo-
pie of Chicago and of the entire state
OF Illinois, It will be possible to obtain
what the city needs. II the mayor can
present the city's case clearly and
effectively, and II the state trusts him,
Chicago will obtain the measure OF
local government to which we are en-.
titled. Our citizens should realize the
situation before the opportunity has
knocked and gone away.
1.-THE same thing is true of the legls.
lation which Chicago requires from
rear to year. Chicago's ability to OBJ.
tain favorable consideration for her
measures depends largely on the
mayor, who is properly regarded as
the spokesman of the community. II
he commands the respect and conf.
dence of the state he will 20 far; but

TO THE WOMEN OF BRINK
LEY

We are very eager to have a
splendid display from Brinkley
at the County Fair in October,
9th, 10th and 18th, inclusive.
Some Of the women are at work
and are making an effort to
make a creditable showing in
the women's department, espec-
tally of canned goods and sew
ing, while others are showing
little or no interest. In order
to keep the burden from falling
on the shoulders of the few, why
should not many of the Brink
ley women do, just little each
toward making a success of the
Brinkley display. 1t would not
in that case be very hard on
any one.
Any one who has canned
goods or sewing to display, ad-
wise Mrs. Shuts, who will be in
charge of the Brinkley display

Say" said a Clarendon man,
"the Argus caused me to give
up S42 of my hard-earned mon
ey the other day. If | hadn't
read the Ad of the Lewis, LETTERS
Dry Goods Co., in the Argus, |
wouldn't have gone to Brink
ley to buy that bill of gents fur
nishings that | did this week.
Yes, advertising pays and the
Argus does get results for ad-
vertisers. Now | thank that
clever fellow for reading that
ad.
But back to the special-we
drove out to Shiloh and attend
ed the Ralley for the Shiloh
school. Prof. Clarence Nelson,
and his splendid board were
working to start their Smith
Hughes Course. The Shiloh
School is now nearing compile
ton and it is indeed a beauty.
On the trip the Argus stopped
at that busy road junction, Har-
ry Harris Store and Gin. Friend
Harris, his good wife and their
two pretty and accomplished
daughters, Misses Elizabeth and
Josephine, were all as busy as
could be In the store.
The Harris plantation of 1900
acres will this year produce
about 700 or 500 bales of cotton
and you see the Harris Gin has
seasons ruin even if it didn't
draw a lot of cotton from miles
away.
I've been told that there is
reason for the Harris Gin
drawing the trade for many
miles. See his full page ad in
this weeks Argus. He believes
in going after things. That's
some reason, isn't it?
The drive back to Brinkley
from Shiloh was thro' the pretty
Pea Ridge Country, where they
are planning to build a real
road (see notice elsewhere).
| passed their magnificent
school building where Prof. Ba-
ker and Bert Simpson ere teach

The day was pleasantly spent

are doing things.

Pres. Wilson Didn't Attend Sum-

The following apology by the
Editor and Publisher of the Lit
tie Rock Gazette was published
in that papers editorial columns
yesterday:
1T WAS A SATURDAY GAME
The Gazette published on
August "a last a reproduction
of a photograph showing Pres
ident and Mrs. Wilson standing
during the playing Of the ma
tional anthem at a baseball
game The game was played
for a fund to assist wounded
marines and sailors. Under the
picture was the line, President
and Mrs. Wilson Attend Sunday
Ball Game"
The Gazette has received a
note from Mr.. Tumulty, secre-
tary to the president, calling at
tention to the fact that the
game was played on Saturday
and not on Sunday The Ca
zette is very glad to correct
this misstatement, which was
to an error in the office of one
of the syndicates furnishing
news cuts to the GaZetts. The
line objected to was built into
the cut and was not placed there
by the Gazette. The reading
matter under the cut was also
furnished by the syndicate
Gazette.
: I'm glad indeed to see this
correction, for it shows that
President Wilson doesn't desire
10 be misrepresented and dis
graced away down in Arkansas.
