First Out-of-T own Game
For High is Grid Clash
With Wilkinson Saturday

High school grid men are plugging
along every evening preparing for
their game with Wilkinson at Wilkin-
son Saturday afternoon. Coach Null
is putting in a few extra ticks during
the holidays that are being Afforded
by the State Teachers meetings, and
is driving his squad every afternoon.
Saturdays game will be the first
out of town game for the local high
team and they will have chance to
demonstrate their stuff against fast
squad. Although the Wilkinson high
team is selected from much smaller
high school, every man in schoo. OF
gridiron size turns out to try and make
the team; as a result they are able
to turn out some fast and heavy out
fits. The Wilkinson team is said to
average about $50 which is fairly good
for a high school team.
Work On Defense.
The locals have been centering their
efforts this week on perfecting their
defense on the overhead game. They
have also put in some time developing
a style of shift that will be tried out
against the teams played the rest OF
this season, if it proves successful
against Wilkinson.
All the Red and White men are ir
good shape for the game, none having
been injured in last Saturdays fracas
The same lineup that faced Elkhar'
will probably take the field against
the opponents this week.

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified CO.
coanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store and few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful Is all
that is required. 1t makes an abun-
dance of rich creamy lather. cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff. Advertisement.

way holdups and rural bank rob
berries and then hurry back to the city
TO be swallowed up by its multitudes.
Every state with its big city is de-
manding protection of its life and
property through mounted rural po-
lice. This criminal element, together
With many other city influences, tends
to retard moral reforms, desired by
by less densely populated sections OF
the state. How long would it have
taken New York or Chicago of its
own violation to have abolished the
saloon. or to have accomplished any
of the moral reforms agitating the
nation!
Again, with large bodies of voters
residing in tenement houses moving
frequently from one congested section
to another, political corruption is easy
and the political boss has autocratic
powers.
Again, the .Americanization of
foreigners, if it advances at all, is
much slower in the large cities. Politi-
cal bosses, through smaller political
leaders of foreign birth, encourage
for political control the national spirit
of each foreign group.
Chicago Politics Not Representative
Chicago now has many pocket bor-
roughs each as large as the largest
downstate city where the voters are
more foreign than they were twenty
years ago. This is accomplished by
establishing 70 e gn newspapers,
clubs, churches and schools and urg-
ing the community to support them.
The leader of each foreign group in
consideration OF having delivered his
particular borough is allowed to
select Judge or some other cand-
date for the ticket. 1t is frankly adj
mitted that school boards are ap-
pointed not from the leaders in edu-
cational thought, but one from each
foreign group

Again, downstate has no great
newspapers that circulate among the
voters of the big city to educate them
or their political representatives of the
needs of the country. 1t is much
easier for the downstate voters who
read the metropolitan paper daily to
learn the needs of the city. We read
the Tribune every morning and the
Chicago News every evening. How
many Cook county men read the
Aurora Beacon, the Joliet Herald, or
the Elgin News?
Political Advantage of Cities
Again, to me the greatest of all
reasons why no state will permit a
single city to control is that the larger
territory has not the community of
interest, the concentration, the ag-
glomeration which the city has. 1t
is composed of series of other COM
munities having their own individual
interests which often cannot be har-
monized. These communities do not
come to the General Assembly with
a united front; their newspapers are
not even read in the adjoining county
Proper Degree of Limitation
Someone has said we should limit
the city very greatly in one branch
of the General Assembly, but not at
all in the other. To limit it in both
they say would be unfair as it would
be putting it in the control of the coun-
try. Let us analyze this argument. In
the first place a divided control when
each side became firmly established in
its branch would mean deadlock on
all constructive legislation, which
was not of equal interest to both
groups. Political trading and not leg
slating would be the order of the
day. Neither side would accomplish
anything without the others consent.
But is moderate limitation in both
houses, say one of thirty-seven or

Il deem this on the contrary ono
OF the most reasonable. just and

no bearing upon politics; il is not
question OF party, but is question
OF the just aud reasonable relations
that should exist between dense ag-
gregations of populations in cities
and the scattered inhabitants OF rural
districts, in the distribution OF poit-
ical power in the law-making branch
OF representative government.
Representative government is not,
never has been, and can not be based
upon division OF political power by
exact equality OF numbers. 1t is not
possible to divide the state into fifty
: districts OF 1856 inhabitants each,
or into $50 Assembly Districts OF 3s,-
255 each. Besides, territorial con-
siderations, as a qualification of exact
numera distribution of population.
have always been recognized as an
essential element of apportionmcnt,
as the cardinal rule in respect to rer-
resentation OF counties already stated
shows. Where a densely packed
population is crowded into a great
city, to which by reason thereof i.
allotted such proportion OF Sena-
tors as Il out of 50. and OF Assem-
blymen as IS out of $50, it is unavoid-
able that by the aggregation OF the
force OF numbers an immense advan-
tage is obtained by that locality over
other portions of the state that act
separately by single individual repre-
sentatives.
New York county, for instance,
with thirty-fve Assemblymen and
twelve Senators in the new Senate
and Assembly, will exercise in 1egis-
lation, by the mere momentum of
those numbers, a vast excess of
power over the districts of sparse
population having in the aggregate
the same number of Senators and
Representatives 1t has, therefore,
been adopted by all enlightened states
as cardinal rule of apportionment,
necessary for the just preservation of
the proper balance between the
crowded urban districts and the scat
tered rural districts, that some con-
sideration shall be paid to extent Of
territory as qualification of the rule
of numbers; nor has this ever been
regarded as departure from Repub-
