"dat de Ten Commandments wasn't loaded down wif phraseology like de laws de legislature passen." To Am Baptists! To the Baptists of the M Olive Baptist Association of southern Illinois. To you we send greetings and wish to inform you that the time is at hand for us arise and give our armor on, and need the Macedon an cry. "Come ye over and help us." We have a number of small churches a few larger ones in our district that are without pastors and of self supporting and with a little encouragement from the so ger ones, they can be made strong. Our mission work and our District missionaries are greatly neglected, which should not be the cause in a land of plenty and prosperity, when if the priests and churches would manifest a little more of the Christ like spirit in carrying out the great commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel. Southern Illinois is part of the world, therefore, since it is part of territory we are obligated to Christ to carry the Gospel to perishing thousands in our baili wick. The churches are only asked to send up 5c per member quarterly to aid the missionaries while in the destitute parts of our district which is a small item to any member, but, would be ample to care for our district work in good shape and missionaries would not be compelled to look like tramps. As intelligent Baptists we cannor afford to let the Banner trail in the dust and be a laughing stock or to be held up in ridicule by others who are less able to care for their obligations. We confidently trust that each pastor and officer in the churches of our associational district will get busy and help to raise the financial standard in our district at the 1st quarterely Board meeting which will be held in Mt Vernon with Shiloh Baptist church with Elder John Bruen, pastor, Thursday before the 3rd Sunday in Dec. 1916. The church and pastor sending up the most money at said meeting will be placed on honor roll and the cut of pastor will be placed in the columns of the Gazette OBITUARY Pauline Willa Bureau Reeder was born in Waterloo Alabama, March 2nd 1909, and departed this life October 29, at twenty minutes to 5 o'clock; age 7 years. She was a kind and lovable child and bore her illness well; was willing to do what was told her to the last. On Saturday evening while trying to rest but suffering she uttered the word "Holy." May God take her and keep her, and peace be to her slumbering ashes. Common Sense a Bad Master. In creative thought common sense in a bad master. Its sole criterion for judgment is that new ideas shall look like old ones. In other words, it can only act by suppressing originality. A. N. Whitehead in "An Introduction to Mathematics." Head of Dunne Barber Board Exposed in Court James Ahern, Known as "Jim the Barber," Head of Barber Examining Board, Is Chicago Saloonkeeper. It took Judge Kenesaw M. Landis in the federal court, Chicago, only a minute to learn that one of Governor Dunne's officials — James Ahern, president of the state board of barber examiners—is interested in a saloon at Thirty-first street and Indiana avenue, Chicago. Also, that Ahern, who is known in his district as "Jim the Barber," is a Democratic precinct captain and has many friends among the gambling fraternity. It was in the inquiry Judge Landis made into Chicago gambling that he ran across the tracks of "Jim the Barber." The judge examined F. W. Sells and Freddie Stall, handbook men who broke the ice for the federal jurist's probe, and when they mentioned Ahern as carrying the License of their saloon in his name, Ahern was subpoenaed and admitted the soft impeachment. Apparently Sells and Stall wanted the license of their groggy in "Jim's" name because "Jim" held a state job and had a pull in political circles. At all events, they so informed the court. "Why do you carry that saloon license in your name?" asked Judge Landis of Ahern. "Because I feel it my duty to do all I can for my constituents," responded "Jim the Barber." Stall and Sella readily admitted they were "Jim's" constituents. Judge Landis let it go at that. DO NOT FORGET THIS. Women of Illinois may vote for presidential electors on November 7. Governor Dunne has been trying to make people believe that if Lowden were elected governor he wouldn't appoint strong men to the public utilities commission. Colonel Lowden certainly wouldn't name a politician of "Billy" O'Connell's record as head of the commission. Nothing so raw as that! The constitution of the state makes the governor the stopcock on the legislature. The governor is given the veto power. Governor Dunne has the veto power and yet appropriations ran riot under his administration. Wasn't the whole trouble the lack of business ability and backbone on the part of the state executive? When you go to the polls November 7, remember that the Democratic Dunne administration has cost the taxpayers of Illinois $1,000 an hour in excess of any Republican administration in the state's history. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ DO NOT FORGET THIS. Women of Illinois may vote for presidential electors on Nov- ember 7. In an editorial December 11, 1913. The Chicago Record-Herald in a critique of the Dunne administration with respect to its financial blunders, said this, among other things, of Governor Dunne: "In a broad, general way he (Governor Dunne) is condemned already. He has set the example and he deserves his doom. Even reasonable expenditures will count against him as they swell the total, because he has put himself beyond hope of any help from an appeal to reason. "Because of his own bad judgment he is now in for three years of squirming. Conditions will grow worse instead of better. This is not a prophecy but a mere statement of the inevitable. There is no chance whatever of improvement except through a miracle that shall change his nature." The black type in the last sentence is not the Herald's — it's ours. LEST WE FORGET. Under the Democratic tariff in 1914 before the European war began three millions of men were out of work in this country. Factories were closed. Women and children were hungry. Do you want to return to this condition after the war? DUNNE'S OFFICIALS BEHIND $526,437.23 TOTAL DUNNE DEFICIENCY APPROPRIATION: ABOUT 125 PER CENT GREATER THAN C. S. DENEEN'S. FOUR YEARS OF WASTE Dunne's Four Years Make Bad Showing When Compared With Deneon's Eight—Dunne's Subordinates Have Been Careless and Unbusinesslike. Probably in no way can a better test of a state administration's economy and efficiency be obtained than through the state appropriations asked for or approved by the governor. The acid test, so far as appropriations go, comes with the size of the deficiency appropriation. That is, if any department head of the state, after careful survey, makes an estimate of what he needs during the biennium, receives the amount asked for, and eventually goes to the legislature with appeals for more money and is given more cash in deficiency appropriations—it generally means either a spendthrift department head or one incompetent to handle his job. The Test of Economy. A clever observer of affairs at Springfield remarked during the last session of the legislature—in 1915: "You watch the way the deficiency appropriations pile up and judge the weakness of the Dunne administration right there." This man knew the game. He probably had seen the deficiency appropriations in 1913 under Dunne jills up and had traced the causes. Then came 1915. It was a case of out-Heroding Herod. No doubt about Dunne's inability or disinclination to hold down his spend-thrift underlings can exist after comparing the deficiency appropriations under Dunne with those during four and eight years of Deneen. For two legislative sessions under Deneen, those of 1909 and 1911, the aggregate deficiency appropriations were, with certain proper deductions, $114,000; for eight years under Deneen, the total was $219,200. Huge Dunne Deficiency. After making certain deductions, under Governor Dunne the 1913 deficiency appropriations aggregated $198,675. For 1915, they were $327,762.23, or a grand total for the four years of Dunne of $528,437.23. Comparing, then, four years of Dunne with eight years of Deneen, it is found that Dunne's deficiencies were greater in four years than Deneen's in eight years by something like 135 per cent. Recalling Edward F. Dunne's campaign speeches in 1912 when he went from Cairo to Freeport declaiming against the extravagances of the Republican state administration, the showing by Dunne in 1913-1916 has been inexpressibly bad on Dunne's own promises. Something like $225,000 more might be charged against Dunne in deficiencies if one were inclined to be unfair but for the 1913 session, $172,203.33 has been checked off as Governor Dunne might not properly be charged with responsibility for these appropriations. For 1915, on the same grounds, $56,750 was not included. However, with these large sums out, the total Dunne deficiencies are as noted—$525,437.23. Many Departments Extravagant. During the eight years of Charles S. Deneen there were only five heads under which appropriations for deficiencies were forced from his regime—for fugitives from justice, public printing and binding, once for the secretary of state, once for Lincoln homestead trustees and once for the live stock commission. Under Governor Dunne during four years, these "reasons" for deficiency appropriations increased from five (under Deneen) to fifteen. They were: Fugitives from justice, public printing, board of agriculture, private employment agencies, twice, bureau of labor statistics, live stock commission, twice, secretary of state, three times, state treasurer, auditor, legislative reference bureau, industrial board, insurance superintendent. Southern Illinois penitentiary. Illinois state penitentiary and public utilities commission. On these official figures the Dunne administration stands condemned of gross and inexcusable waste of the people's money. Governor Dunne's platform: Claim credit for all the good laws enacted during "my administration;" blame bad laws to Republicans.

It she is by. that time comfortably wedded, with sturdy sons and falr daughters about her, he brushes away a tear that no one would believe he had tenderness of heart enough to shed, as he sighs over what might have been, If he finds her a spinster or a buxom widow—well, haven't you heard of the men who have gone out into the world, made their fortunes ‘and come back to wed the sweetheart of thelr youth? y It would often be best, I think, to al- low a young man’s fancy to run Its course—which 1s love, ending in mar- riage.

WITH M’GRAW’S AID MERKLE LIVED DOWN FAMOUS MISCUE Giants’ Former First Baseman Be. came Great Player in Spite of the Jeers of the Fans, In the recent trade which sent Fred Merkle, veteran first baseman of the Gtants, to the Brooklyn club in ex- change for Catcher Lew McCarthy, nothing stands out more prominently than the perseverance of John Me- Graw, manager of the Giants, In mak- ing a ball player of Merkle after the latter had made his famous bonehead play of September 23, 1908. It was on that fatal day that Merkle failed to “touch second.” ‘ Merkle, hooted and hissed by the fans, derided by sport writers and twitted by rival players, but all the time patted on the back by John Me- Graw, has held his head up all these eight years and has proved to the world that he ts a real ball player in spite of his lapse of memory which gave Chicago the National league championship. McGraw’s faith in his é \ Lm . ae ~ ~| 0 ‘i 1 } Fred Merkie. young first basemen {s entirely respon: ‘sible"for the fact that Merkle still ts ‘a big league ball player. Not only has McGraw stuck to Mer- kle in spite of his failure to touch second, but after the 1912 world's se- ries, when Boston won from the Giants through Merkle’s failure to catch an easy foul fly, McGraw again stood by and insisted Merkle was good enough for him. Fans have howled and !augh- ed at Merkle for those two plays, but always McGraw has stood pat. Merkle has vindicated the judgment of his former chief. When he perpe- trated the first of his famous bad plays he was only a youngster and McGraw knew that censure probably would ‘wreck whatever chance there was for Merkle to show any class as a first ‘baseman, | So, instead of harsh words, Merkle ‘was given encouragement. At every slip McGraw was ready to pat the omnes on the back and urge him See a eee In youth so weak is man, 0 ignorant and blind, that 4l4 not God Sometimes withhold in mercy what he ‘asks Ho would be ruined at his own request.

By T. Cc. PAT ranbon; Beautiful Falls Destroyed To Obtain Power That Will Drive Wheels of Industry. ‘Ten thousand feet up in the Sierras not far from Los Angeles, is beautiful Silver Lake and the romantic Silver Lake Falls, said to be one of the most pleturesque spots in southern Callfor hia., By the end of this year the falls will be no more and the waters of the lake will be generating electric current ‘which will be distributed over hundreds of miles of territory. For a long period the lake was the subject of litigation, the city of Los Angeles claiming the right to its unde. veloped power, but finally the title was held to be vested in n private corpora: tion. Now that private corporation the Nevada-California Power company is building @ 10,000-horse-power hy- Aro-electric plant, which will be in op- eration next year, and the construction of this plant has resulted in the de struction of Silver Lake Falls. In place of the falls the water will drop more than 2,000 feet through great pipes to turn the turbines which wil generate the electric power. Gigantic dams, 80-inch pipes of steel and great turbines and generators are being constructed. The site of the plant {s 56 miles from a railroad and the company spent over $40,000 in con: struction. of a road over which cater: pillar tractors, each drawing three ‘wagons, could transport material for the plant. It takes a week for each wagon train to make the round trip. ‘The plant will cost about $1,000,000, Fashion’s Fancies. Many of the new hats are tilted at the back.

Shortening Bird Season Pennsylvania is the latest of the states to take up the question of shorter open seasons on game birds, and good reasons for curbing the activities of hunters are presented in a statement of the game commission now being sent to individuals and sporting associations. Birds are being exterminated under the present laws, and the remedy proposed is in restricting the season' to one month and changing the date until the birds are full-grown and better able to take care of themselves. What particular hardship would there be in ordering a close season for two, three or five years and then seeing that the law is rigidly enforced? Quail and other game birds need more protection than the existing laws have given them, and if all the states would agree upon an adequate program of conservation the country would be benefited by the saving of the food products now destroyed by insects.—Providence Journal.

POSTUM HELPS WHERE COFFEE HURTS "There's a Reason" ORIGIN OF FAMILIAR PHRASE How "Swinging Round the Circle" Gained Its Place in American Politics. "As I go round the circle," uttered by President Johnson in a speech in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1866, was the origin of the familiar phrase of today, "swinging round the circle," as applied to the campaign tours of presidents. It was David Locke, the Petroleum V. N.asy of the Toledo Blade, who converted the words of Johnson into the "Swinging Around the Circle" slogan. Andrew Johnson was in many respects a remarkable man, born and reared in illiteracy, President Johnson's state papers are said to be among the ablest executive documents now on file at Washington. "Yet," says T. R. Burton in his life of John Sherman, "Johnson's first message to congress, in December, 1865, was written by George Bancroft, and the original manuscript is at the Library of Congress. It was on August 24, 1866, that President Johnson, with Secretary Seward, General Grant and Admiral Farragut, left Washington for a tour through the middle western states. The ostensible object of the trip was a participation in the dedication of a monument to Stephen A. Douglas at Chicago on September 6. But the outing was plainly an electioneering movement on the part of the president, for the purpose of making votes for "my policy" in the coming fall election. At all the principal cities along the route through Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio, the president was received by a majority of those present at the different outdoor receptions, with the respect due his office. If the president, in his speeches, had shown some degree of moderation and dignity in his language, the history of this notable presidential journey would not have been written in words of denunciation. But Mr. Johnson did not try to conceal either his prejudice or his temper. From New York to St. Louis the president petulantly showed his opposition to the prevailing tone of public opinion throughout the northern states at the time, bandied epithets with the crowd, and "exalted himself at every opportunity." Secretary Seward also made some speeches. But Grant and Farragut, although frequently called for, did not utter a word. Grant was said to be thoroughly disgusted with the president and rode in other cars when he could do so. "I felt," said Grant afterward, "that it was like listening to a man at his own funeral." Although President Johnson made many speeches, it was said that not even once did he pronounce the name of "Lincoln" in this entire trip. At Cleveland, on September 3, the president did say that he "was placed on a ticket with a distingualised individual, who is now no more." In the same speech occurred his reference to the "circle." The Yankee In Mexico. Mexican politeness, like Spanish politeness, is of the perfervid kind. Thus, one of the flowers of speech which the law of courtesy commands a Mexican host to use when he welcomes a guest is a phrase to the effect that his "humble house" belongs not to himself at all but wholly to his guest, and that the latter may do with it what he will. Once this phrase cost a Mexican some worry. He met an enterprising Yankee, who was in Mexico drumming up business, and, inviting him to his home, told him that the house and all its belongings were his. And the guest took the host at his word. He had his baggage moved from the hotel to the Mexican's mansion, proceeded to occupy that mansion as his own, and after a few days had passed generously notified the bewildered Mexican gentleman that the latter might remain in the house for a reasonable length of time, a couple of weeks, perhaps, until he—the Mexican gentleman—had found a new dwelling to his liking. And—impossibly, but it happened—it took legal proceedings to oust the Yankee usurper from the premises of the Mexican caballero, who may surely be called a martyr to his national virtue of civility. World's Oldest Museum The museum in the city of Nara, the former capital of Japan, is said to be the oldest in the world. All the exhibits, too, are equally ancient, or rather more so, for, since its foundation in A. D. 756, no addition has been made to its collection! Dr. Otto Kummel, who tells us about the queer old museum, is one of the few Europeans who have been permitted to visit it. Its doors are opened only once a year, when a special committee inspects the collection. The museum contains about three thousand articles, which are said to be the most beautiful specimens of decorative work ever flone by the human hand. Where the greater part of these treasures came from, nobody knows. Some came from China, others from Korea, but most of them appear to have been brought from a greater distance. They have been in their present home for more than eleven centuries, so it is so wonder that their origin is unknown!—Chatterbox. Not Time for Sightseeing. "I don't think so much of the Yellowstone!" "But you were there on your honeymoon! One must see it under favorable conditions to appreciate its beauties!"—Puck. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "I'm for taking care of the old folks that's left behind, helplesslike, in the South. The old slaves have got to have a home and, with the help of the Almighty and some prominent citizens, I'm going to see that they get it." The grizzled old Negro drew himself up sturdily, with a look of mingled dream and determination on his face and the light of faith shining out of the depths of his sightless eyes—for he is totally blind, and above fourscore years of age. Lymus Wallace was born a slave in Louisiana eighty-two years ago, and was thirty years old when President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emanciipation proclamation. Lymus didn't think of learning to read and write until along in 1865, after the war. From the plantation of his old master, Thomas Rutald of Caldwell parish, Louisiana, Lymus moved up to Memphis, acquired a mule or two, and started hauling cotton. He gradually built up the trucking business which has made him a respected and well-to-colored citizen of Memphis. For eight years he was a member of the legislative council of the board of public works—the only Negro elected to that responsible office. His blindness came on gradually, beginning some twenty years ago. It never feazed him. The Wallace home—for Lymus has a wife living, and a family of grown-up children—is a cozy place at No. 613 South Landerdale street, Memphis. Three of the daughters are teachers in the public schools. One son is in business, another is a student at Fiske university. So you see Lymus himself is not one of the needy ex-slaves—he is rather a leader and uplifter of his race, and the old "uncles" and black mammles have a childlike confidence in his power to realize his ambitious dream, which has become theirs. "Lymus am progressive up to de minute," they declare. He has come north armed with a charter from the state of Tennessee and the indorsement of prominent Memphians, to see about raising $25,000 as a starter for the establishment of a permanent home for former slaves, to be located at Memphis. Stopping over at Washington, D. C., Lymus and his guide looked in at the state department, with a letter of introduction to Hon. William J. Bryan. But Mr. Bryan had just resigned from the cabinet, and that was his busy day, so the colored brethren came straight on to New York to present their credentials to some well-known Southerners, including Rev. Doctor Manning and F. D. Caruthers, vice president of the Tennessee society. "How many of the old-time slaves do you reckon are living yet?" Lymus was asked. "That's what we haven't got figured out, but there's plenty of 'em right 'round where I live. There were four million after the war, and a considerable percentage of these are surviving yet, for, you know, we're a long-lived race. "You see, the trouble is that the younger colored people have mostly left the section and the old ones have had to shift for themselves. They did well enough, at that, for awhile. But then the big floods of 1911 and 1912 came along and drowned 'em out. It was seeing so many of my generation of old slaves destitute that first put the suggestion of an asylum into my head. In Hawaii grows the world's rarest plant, called the silver sword. Its very name is odd and appropriate to the cactuslike growth and the long, silky gray leaves which give it its peculiar name. The reason for its rarity is that it is found only on the most inaccessible slopes of the volcanoes of the group of islands. From the earliest times it has been greatly admired by the natives, who call it "ahinahina," gray-haired, because they had never before the coming of the white man seen silver, and therefore could not apply to the plant a name which well describes it. Climbers who have found specimens prize them more highly than do Alpine climbers the edelweiss, since it is far more beautiful and difficult to obtain than the famous flower of the Swiss. The colored men's branch of the Young Men's Christian association recently conducted a membership campaign. Arrangements are being completed for the opening of the various departments.

"The colored business men and politicians of Memphis helped me to set the ball a-rolling first, in this scheme of establishing a home for the superannuated survivors of slavery days. We began by holding Sunday mass meetings in the church auditorium. But in launching the project we had assurance of the active interest of many white people who formerly owned slaves. Booker T. Washington looked after the younger generation, and it's the old folks I'm a-thinking about. "You see, there's never been any grudge between us and our old masters. We didn't none of us know any better, and now that the war is over everybody is content to let bygones be bygones and look to the present and the near future." "Why, there's fine ladies all over the land, and gentlemen, too, that would never leave their old black mammies that nursed em come to want, if they knew it. Then, a good many of us colored men served in the war because we had to. And those that didn't stayed at the old home faithfully and took care of things until the unpleasantness was over. The white people that's prosperous now remember these things, so that's why we are looking to them for contributions toward the home."—New York Sunday World. The need of a suitable place to care for colored persons suffering from tuberculosis was illustrated when a girl, fourteen years old, in the last stages of consumption, was deserted in a rooming house, where she lived with her nunt, reports the Indianapolis News. Mrs. Mary Mays, a nurse at the Flower mission, found the girl alone and penniless. Unable to find a home for her, Mrs. Mays obtained permission to take the girl to the city hospital for a few days, and she will make an effort to find a home for her. There are many cases in the city now where sufferers of tuberculosis are living in want. For ten years the Woman's Improvement club of colored women has had a fresh-air camp near Oak Hill, but citizens near the camp prevented the grounds being used for that purpose this year. A few weeks ago two cases were reported to the club through the Flanner house settlement. There were children in both homes. No place has been found where either case can be cared for. What is to be done? This is the question in the minds of the thinking class of colored people. Up to this time no colored patient has been cared for at the state institution for consumptives at Rockville. One or two exceptional cases were cared for several years ago at the Flower mission in this city, but recently the colored people have not been taken there. There are perhaps more than 100 children now in the colored schools who are in the first stages of consumption, and some steps are being taken for a fresh-air school, which is badly needed. --- A new rainfall record for the United States is 22.22 inches, made at Alta Pass, in Mitchell county, North Carolina, in the 24 hours preceding 2 p. m., July 26.

"Cabinet Timber." With a single exception, every member of President Wilson's cabinet began life as a boy in some small country town. Making the best use of early opportunities, they developed their talents by study, steadily working their way through school, and in most cases through college toward that broader experience in the affairs of life which ultimately fitted them to become "cabinet timber." Their example should be an inspiration to those who, being born and raised in the small country town, are likely to consider their surrounding as unfavorable.

Don't Neglect Kidneys Don't Neglect Kidneys Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Prescription, Overcomes Kidney Trouble It is now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more attention as they control the other organs to a remarkable degree and do a tremendous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste matter from the system by filtering the blood. The kidneys should receive some assistance when needed. We take less exercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame back, annoying bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brick-dust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble. An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. There is nothing else like it. It is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in private practice and it is sure to benefit you. Get a bottle from your druggist.

REPUBLICANS HEAR RUMBLE OF VICTORY LOWDEN LOOKS LIKE WINNER OVER DUNNE BY RECORD MAJORITY — HUGHES COMING STRONG. LEGISLATIVE GAINS, TOC No Cloud in Sight, Republican State Chairman Sterling Says—Next Illinois Assembly Will Have Strong Republican Majority—Congressional Gains Promised. Reports from every corner of Illinois, received by Republican State Chairman Fred E. Sterling, demonstrate beyond a doubt that the Republican state ticket headed by Frank O. Lowden is to win by a record-breaking majority. Mr. Sterling for several weeks has been in close touch with chairmen of the various Illinois counties and as election day draws nearer, the tone of their messages to him has been more and more optimistic. Last reports were best of all, Mr. Sterling says, and toreshadow a smashing big victory for Lowden and the entire state ticket. Hughes' Prospects Good. While the state central committee has heard more about the chances of the state ticket than the national ticket, all information respecting the chances of Hughes and Fairbanks is to the effect that they are to administer to President Wilson a hard thrashing and return Illinois to the Republican fold. The indications also are for greater Republican representation in the Fiftieth general assembly. From an analysis by a nonpartisan organization in close touch with the legislative situation, it is learned that the outlook legislatively in Illinois is about as follows: The senate: The outlook is that at least seventeen Republican state senators will be elected next month and probably nine Democratic. There are fourteen Republican hold-over senators and eight Democratic. The senate therefore will be, according to this prognostication: Republicans, 31; Democrats, 17; doubtful, 3. The senate of 1915 stood: Republicans, 25; Democrats, 26; Progressive, 1. Calling the Progressive a Republican, the outlook is for a net gain of at least five Republicans in the state senate. More Republicans in House. The house: Unbiased reports indicate that the house will have at least 83 Republican members next session; Democrats, 66, and doubtful, 4. The house of 1915 had 78 Republicans, 71 Democrats, 2 Progressives and 2 Socialists. While this forecast may be too conservative, it will give the Republican party at least a majority of 13 in the house—allowing all four doubtful places to the Democrats. The prospects are that the Republican majority in both branches of the legislature will be larger than is given in the foregoing. Reports indicating a larger Republican delegation from Illinois in congress also are being received in Chicago. From every angle, therefore, Republican prospects in Illinois could not be brighter. Lowden Very Popular With Pullman Workers Governor Dunne's Fling Regarding Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Refuted by Returns. How does Col. Frank O. Lowden stand with the working men of Illinois? If one would believe Gov. Edward F. Dunne and his officeholding orators, Mr. Lowden isn't very popular. Governor Dunne in his speeches has gone so far as to say that Colonel Lowden is not liked at Pullman, the home of one of the greatest industries in the world, which was founded by George M. Pullman, Colonel Lowden's father-in-law. The best tests of such a question are election results. Fortunately, the primary vote of September 13, this year, is available for reference and it completely refutes Governor Dunne's filing. Six precincts of the Ninth ward constitute the town of Pullman wherein are located the great Pullman shops and the homes of the workers. The primary results were: Lowden, 394; Hull, 54; Smith, 8. This vote showed Lowden ran eight times stronger than Hull, his nearest competitor, while Smith virtually was not in the running. It would be only the fair thing for Governor Dunne to correct his misstatements about Colonel Lowden and the labor vote, especially with reference to the Pullman vote.

MEN'S WARNING UNHEEDED Representatives of Brotherhoods Rely on Governor Dunne's Pledge to Uphold Civil Service Laws, but Run Into "Billy" O'Connell's Influence, Governor Dunne Fails Them. Reports indicate that a large majority of the members of the four great railroad Brotherhoods in Illinois are to support Col. Frank O. Lowden, Republican nominee for governor. All signs are said to point to general dissatisfaction in the rank and file of the Brotherhoods with Governor Dunne's shifty policy respecting enforcement of the safety appliance and power headlight laws in Illinois. These two enactments attracted the personal interest of virtually every railroad employee in Illinois and in the pinch, they claim, Governor Dunne failed them. After a hard fight the Brotherhoods obtained the passage of a power headlight law. It was submitted to Attorney General Lucey, who announced he knew of no reason why the law should not be enforced. The Brotherhoods—anxious to have as much protection from accident as possible—rejoiced in the promise of a better illuminated track, but, to their amazement, ran into official inactivity at Springfield. Not a move was made by Governor Dunne to enforce the law, although 27 sister states are doing so vigorously. Dunne Detectives Brotherhoods Regarding the safety appliance fasco, the Brotherhoods are still more dissatisfied with Governor Dunne. In 1913 they obtained the enactment of an amendment to the law creating two additional inspectors and enlarging their duties. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, Order of Railroad Conductors, Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, and the then existing Switchmen's Union of North America combined in a letter to Governor Dunne, emphasizing statements their representatives had made to him verbally, to this effect: "During your campaign you advocated and pledged yourself to uphold the civil service laws and, manifesting much confidence in your pledge, a number of men from our various brotherhoods entered the competitive examination in December, 1912, for these positions. Had it not been for the confidence the representatives of the Brotherhoods placed in your pledge we would have presented an amendment providing that the appointment of inspectors be made by the officers of the Brotherhood who represented the men that the inspection is intended to protect. "With the railroad men, it will not redound or operate to the political advantage of any party to use these places for political purposes." This was a genteel but vigorous hint to Governor Dunne to appoint experienced railroad men to the inspectors' offices—men who would know what to inspect and how to report on defects in appliances. Did the governor take the hint? Not he. He refused to draw men from the eligible civil service list despite the fact that the first five were Democrats; he made political appointments because, as he told various Brotherhood leaders, "Billy" O'Connell, Dunne's pristine political manager, had control of the two vacant places. The Brotherhoods got no satisfaction from Dunne and were forced to go into the courts at Springfield and obtain an order compelling Dunne to obey the civil service law and name qualified experts. The governor complied after waiting as long as he dared. All in all, the Illinois Brotherhood members saw nearly two years pass before Governor Dunne did the right thing. Compare this procrastination and deception with Frank O. Lowden's record in congress on labor measures. Lowden's Good Labor Record. Colonel Lowden voted yea on motion to suspend rules and pass the employers' liability bill in Congress, April 6, 1908; voted yea on motion to pass the bill limiting hours of service of railroad employees, February 18, 1907; voted yea on motion to suspend rules and pass this bill, May 21, 1905; voted yes on motion to suspend rules and pass bill regulating employment of child labor in District of Columbia, May 9, 1908; voted nay on amendment to bill increasing salaries of members of congress, December 14, 1908. He voted yes, July 12, 1909, on joint resolution to amend the Constitution to impose less an imprisoned vote yes Metropolis. Ill. Oct. 31.
