More Sense Than Poetry.

than poetry in President

instance, it is well nigh impos-
sible to imagine the dumbness Of
anybody arranging an exhibition

the game lacked suitable advance
notices. That explains the atten-
dance of twenty witnessing that
lone game played in Dublin by
the Giants and the White Sox.

The trade extension department OF
the Chamber Of Commerce is looking
forward to a general advertising cam
paign in the interest of Champaign.
Plans have already been made. The
merchants are backing the plans with
large contributions, ard the commit
tee in charge is at work devl5ing a
prolonged program which will pot the
city on the map, not only in Cham
paign county, but in many adjoining
counties.
Champaign has many attractions to
advertise. None of them need to be
oyerdrawn. There is no city Of the
size in the state which has better
opportunity to attract the public than
this city of $4,000 inhabitants. 1t has
the University next door. 1t has a
thriving city across Wright street,
that in a few particulars is more pro-
gressive than itself. 1t has a splendid
trade center, and its merchants deal
in high class wares. 1t is a city OF
American people; a city of homes, a
city of churches and schools. Every
thing in the way of attraction that is
calculated to draw the better class OF
people and the better class of trade,
is here. All of these features may be
advertised to an advantage. The
sooner the public at large becomes
familiar with Champaign the sooner
they will like it.
Soon pavements will radiate from
Champaign in every direction, opening
the way for better trade relations
winter as well as summer. A few
years ago the cities of Illinois were
isolated in winter. The farmers in
the neighborhood hibernated for lack
of facilities to travel even a few
miles. Now, thanks to the wave OF
good roads improvements, the way to
Champaign and Urbana is open, and
there is no reason in the world why
the attractions of the city should not
be advertised

With the supreme court judge tc
elect on June 2, the city council has
seen fit to add an issue on the ballot.
At the same time the question OF
supervised play for children will come
up for ballot Of the people.
This is an important issue. The
public in Champaign is to decide
whether boys and girls shall, for a
mer pittanee, be trained in play and
safeguarded while at play, or whether
they shall run the streets or invent
their own play methods.
So long mas the world moved in u
channel of "do as you please That 1t
is hard for some very worthy people
to see that a change would be bene-
fetal to the morals of youth. The
do as you please" methods Of play
were those taught in our boyhcod and
girlhood, and under such regime
we were privileged to learn a great
many things that we have ever since
been trying to unlearn. The super
vised play plan does away with the
old method and substitutes training,
supervision, equipment and everything
else necessary to pleasurable as well
as profitable entertainment.
Such play may be had for the low
cost of one and a third mills on the
dollar of taxable property in Cham
paign. To dispense with it for the
saving of that sum is paradoXical.
1t is fiat contradiction Of our lofty
aims ard purposes. 1t is a practical
surety that supervised play win 90
over, and If it does it will be because
the members of the Twin City Fedora
ton of Labor, who live in Champaign,
put it over. This means that every
Union voter must find time TO go to
the polls. Otherwise the few objec-
tors will centralize and defeat the
measure.

An election will be held June z
in the interest of selecting supreme
court judges. Judge Lawrence b
Stringer of Lincoln is candidate
opposing Judge Dunn who now occu-
pies the bench in this district.
Union Labor is vitality interested
in the election of a man to this SUI
preme office who is averse to abusing
the right of injunction. Judge
Stringer is such man if his previous
record is a criterion to follow. Hence,
Labor will support him without regard
to party politics.
The attitude of Union Labor has
always been to support candidates
who are sympathetic with the cause
of Labor without regard to party
lines. This is the only safe course
for an organization to follow which
works through all parties. If the
choice narrows down to two good
candidates who favor Labor then
party lines may be drawn and The
American Federation Of Labor is not
disposed to make a choice for the
voting members of the organization
but when the choice is between Two
candidates one of which, by his
political record, proves unfriendly to
Labor and the other just the opposite,
it is obviously the duty of every Labor
Voter VINO mas the interest OF his cause
at heart to support the friendly candi-
date without regard to party lines.
No office within the gift of the
state is more important than that of
supreme court judge. The supreme
court sets a standard of law for the
state. Its presidents are not ques-
toned. 1t establishes a standard of
justice that must abide, and there is
no alternative. The supreme court of
any state is the last resort of that
state. Consequently it is of the ut

is aware this rumor is yet 10 be sub
stantiated. a M candidacy pro-
crosses ne will have ample opportun-
ity either to verify or deny the rumor.
Another factor in his candidacy Is
his pro-liquor sentiment. Smith Is
outspoken in his demand for wine

act. This attitude will insure that he
will not be accorded the vote Of the
more radical proaibitiorists. OBJ
viously for these TWO reasons Smith

by any adroit tactics secure the
nomination. But who knows The

dark horse who will prove to be as
popular as William Jennings was in

have a fair chance.
