CHAMPAIGN STORES
AGREE TO CLOSE
ON NOVEMBER !

Deserted streets are predicted in
Champaign on November 3, Home
coming day at the University. Fully
twenty-five merchants have manifect-
ed their intention TO close their places
of business during the football game
at the stadium. Many others are ex-
pected to fall in line as the day ap-
proaches.
Efforts to get the Chamber of Com
merce to take action favoring clos
ing order were made when the matter
of closing was brought 10 the atten-
ton Of the Board of Directors at a
recent meeting. but without result.
Several of the larger firms were op-
posed to closing, explaining that they
have a special obligation TO fulfill In
the interest of rural patrons, many
Of whom are not particularly inter
ested in University athletics and who
come to the city on Saturday to trade.
Some of the smaller merchants,
however, apparently believe that the
opening of the stadium is an event
of sufficient importance to warrant
taking a holiday and have announced
their intention TO close, without regard
to what the department stores and
others may do.
Officials of the Burr company have
announced their willingness to close
for the game, thereby granting a half
holiday to their seyentyfivei em-
ployes. Other similar concerns are
expected TO follow this example.
The Chamber of Commerce took
a neutral stand, leaving the question
of closing open to the individual firms,
and made no endorsement whatever.
Merchants, however, have been busy
agitating the closing question with
the foregoing results.
City viii Control Traffic.
Plans are under way to import at
least twenty traffic policemen from
Chicago to assist local police in TAX
ing care of the mammoth crowd that
is expected on Homecoming day,
when it is predicted that fully $4,000
people will visit the Twin Cities.
Efforts are also being made to in
terest women's clubs, aid societies and
lodges to prepare dinners for the
crowds, many of whom will go hun
CRY if they are compelled to depend
upon the restaurants. II is stated
that the two cities are not equipped
to handle more than half the crowd
that is expected The Illinois Cen
trail railroad company will utilize its
entire dining and Pullman service. but
even this is limited and will serve
only the visitors from Chicago, which
a prominent railway official esti-
mates at 5000 or less than One-eighth
of the crowd.
1t is expected that the Springfield
avenue subway will be opened prior
to the Homecoming date. The street
cars will not be retarded by conges-
tion of traffic on the Illinois Central,
and there is a probability that traffic
may be permitted to pass through the
University avenue subway by that
time.
The management of the new Ur-
bana-Lincoln hotel promise that they
will be prepared to receive guests
but that the formal opening Of the
hotel will have to be deferred until
later date.

Education and Democracy
BY SAMUEL GOMPERS
President OF the American Federation OF Labor.

1t is not enough to have understanding and good
education among the few
What we require is good understanding and
good education en- masse
We must in the mass understand the problems
with which we must deal as democratic people.
We can advance and develop democracy but
little faster than we can advance and develop the
average level of intelligence and knowledge within
the democracy.
That is the problem that confronts modern
educators.
That is the problem that confronts democracy
itself

Education and Freedom
By CALVIN COOLIDGE
President of the United States

Our country adopted the principle of self-goy-
ernment by a free people.
Those who were worthy of being free were
worthy of being educated,
Those who had the duty and responsibility of
government must necessarily have the education to
discharrq t.. = obligations Of citizenship
The 50. arepn lad to be educated.
The sovereign had become the people.
Every American citizen is entitled to liberal
education.
Without this there is no guarantee for the per-
manerce Of free institutions, no hope of perpetual
inP sef-goyernment.
Despotism finds its chief support in ignorance.
knowledge and freedom go hand in hand

.
History furnishes frequent Instances
Of the destructive powers Of torrential
transforms. When the United States
took over the Philippines one Of their
first tasks was the construction Of a
military road, 30 miles long, between
Dagupan and Baguio, at cost of ST.
100000. It was opened with Imposing
ceremony, and one Of the speakers de-
clared that 1t had been so well and
truly built that 1t would endure long
after the Pyramids had crumbled to
dust" A few weeks later tropical
rainstOrm swept over the Philippines,
the total rainfall in four days being SO
inches, and when the rain had ceased
the great road had practically disap-
Deared.

Shedding Weiuht BY Work.

On the track. a loss Of eight
pounds in an hour Is very common,
even when men are in the pink Of con-
dition. So in the sea, where the best
trained swimmers lose weight rapidly.

the water ten pounds lighter than
when he entered it. Notwithstanding
that he took good deal Of food, IL
Quid and other. meanwhile It Is real
~ absurd, therefore, to become appre-
hensive because of slight loss of bod
lily weight. OF course, a continuous
loss over reasonable period should
be attended to. But small variations,
being natural and consistent with per-
feet health, need not worry anybody.
