Commercial organizations Of
Rock Island, Moline and East Mo-
line are likely to unite in framing
protests to the state highway COM
mission against any further delay
in designating the route between
Hillsdale and Morrison, the result
of the veriication of . report that
progress of the route. known as
state bond issue No. 3. has again
been impeded by a controversy over
the Prophetstown stub.
It has been learned here that a
delegation from Prophetstown Is
protesting against the proceedings
until an investigation can be made
of that towns claims to position
upon the main highway between
Moline and Morrison, instead Of on
connecting stub.
The engineers Of the highway de-
partment are understood to have
decided against running the main
highway through Prophetstown for
various reasons, not the least OF
which is that seven miles would be
added to the distance between Mo-
line and the Lincoln highway al
Morrison should Prophetstown be
included. And then there would
be some difficult engineering prob
lens to be overcome in directing
the main highway through two or

FERDINAND MATH IS
VICTIM or ACCIDENT
ATST. BEDE COLLEGE

Ferdinand Math, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew Math, 1900 Fifteenth
street, is in q Spring Valley hospi-
tai. suffering from compound frac-
ture OF the leg, incurred when he
was struck by an automobile q
week ago near Peru. Ferdinand is a
student in st. Bede's college and
with four companions had started to
walk to a car line to go to. LaSalle.
They had just left the college
lane when without warning an
auto, driven by W. H. Edwards Of
Laid, drove into the group. The
Math boy and Augustine Gina were
struck. Mr.. Edwards took the
boys to Spring Valley whsre they
received medical attention.
The Math boys injuries are so
serious that the bones have not
been set since the accident but ply
sicians expected to attempt that
operation today. Mrs. Math is at
her sons bedside, called there
shortly after the accident.

Suffrage and Elections.
: This article grants suffrage to the

virtue Of the federal constitution,
and in that respect accompanies
nothing, but Is simply made to con-

most important. change is the pro-
vision that In that part Of the state
outside Of Cook county no final
election Of officers shall be held ex-
cept on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday of November, which
shall be holiday. This makes one
election day year instead Of the

Chise Justics Of ~ Supreme Court
Notable changes are suggested IN
the organisation and operation o.
the courts. The membership Of the
supreme court il increased from
seven to nine justices, and it, or
iginat Jurisdiction II increased 70
include que waFrnnt0, prohibition,
and other cases involving questions
Of great public importance. The
two fustices added to the court are
to be elected from the Chicago dis
trict, and there IL no change IN the
downstate districts. The most i'm
portant change in this article Is
the vesting in the supreme court Of
exclusive power 70 prescribe rules
Of pleading, practice and procedure
in all courts. Under the present
constitution, the general assembly
prescribes these rules. The propo-
nents OF this change argue that the
courts should be made Independent
of the other departments Of the
government, and that there Is no
more reason why the legislative de-
partment should make rules for the
judicial department than that the
judicial department should make
rules for the legislative depart
ment.
!, Under the present constitution
the judges of appellate courts are
selected by the supreme court from
the judges of the circuit courts, and
under the proposed new constitu.
ton they will be selected by the
supreme court from the lawyer:
Of the respective. districts, without
regard to whether they have elect
ed circuit Judge. The appellate
judges will be appointed to servt
for 6-year terms, but the practica
operation will no doubt be that the,
will be appointed to serve as Ions
as they give satisfaction. Appel
late Judges will be relieved Of tria
work and will have all their tim,
to do what they do now in one-thirt
Of their time.
City courts and probate court
are abolished by the proposed new
constitution and provision is mad
for an additional county Judge il
counties having a population O
more than $4,000, and the term O

FROM Meetings
Superintendent r e turn s
from National Education
al Association Session
Held in Chicago.

C. w. Richards, superintendent of
cago. where he attended a meeting
Of the department Of superintendents
of the National Educational associa-
tion In session several days.
There were approximately 5000
in attendance, Mr.. Richards stated.
representing practically every section
Of Importance Of the United States.
In addition to the meeting Of the
superintendents there were meetings
Of other allied departments.
"A great deal Of time" Mr.. Rich
ards said, "was spent on discussion
of standard tests and measures. The
question Of teachers salaries was also
discussed and it was the unanimous
decision that they should not be de.
creased, but in number Of instances
an increase was urged.
Another note sounded was the fact
that the moral side Of the child ma
ture must be developed, the question
asked: Shall this be done through
the public schools?
Shall the crime wave which is
sweeping the country now continue
for the next 10 years?
'The thought was expressed that
to educate a criminal, made o more
efficient criminal; to educate crook,
means a. more efficient crook, and
unless the moral nature of the child
is developed 1t was shown that there
are certain types better off without
education
While in Chicago Mr. Richards at
tended meeting Of the Rotary club
He stated that out of 653 in attend
ance there were $50 superintendent.

tarans. At this meeting an address
was delivered by William Mathel
