J- at SpragfieU Adopts DecUritioa of Fdfey of Protection of American Industries--Can Strongly Recommended for President - J. m *ei«M!eaii« «fnttno!s, lentiou at Springfield, adopted the fol­ lowing platform: r.-fvj.' The Republican party of Illinois, •Fy^i|teadfast in its purposes, proud of the v achievements of the national Repub­ lican party, gratified with the pros­ perity to the whole people resulting firom its policies, proclaims anew its fjMth in its cardinal principles of the iarty, as expressed in its national plat- lorm of 1904. , i « We regret that the Democratic party •iiJijas not yielded its opposition to the > protective policy of the Republican party and accepted with patriotic . (ride its beneficent results, so appar­ ent everywhere in the affairs of the . people of the United States. We ad­ here without hesitation to the cardinal doctrine of protection to American la­ bor and American capital. We do not hold that any particular " Hcbedule of tariff duties must be of lipndlesB duration, but, on the contrary, . /When changing business and industrial (Bpnditions shall be benefited by a mod­ ification of any existing tariff schedule the Republican party holds itself tieady to make such needed changes. : The necessity for such change, how­ ever, must not arise from any special Interest, but must arise from a fair and candid consideration of all the fgusiness and industrial interests of the whole country. > Congressional Act* Approved. 1 We give full approval to the legisla­ tion of the national congress. The enactment of the rate law, the pure food law, the employer's liability law, the meat inspection law, the law mak­ ing alcohol free for the arts, manu­ facturers and all industrial purposes, and the final legislation for the con­ struction of the isthmian canal, to­ gether with many other important laws, all of which must appeal to the " found judgment and satisfaction of •Very patriotic citizen and constitute a legislative record unsurpassed, if in- ||jeed equaled, during the present gen­ eration. y« Under the poliey of the Republican party, the credit of our nation stand® higher than ever before. Bonds issued for the construction of "the isthmian eanal, bearing the low rate of 2 per cent interest, have sold at 4 per cent above par. Interest on money has de­ preciated, while wages have advanced, thus showing conclusively that in the race between the dollar and the man 0e man is the victor. ' Believing as we do that the interests «£ the American people are best safe­ guarded and protected by the policies of the Republican party and believing that a Democratic house of representa­ tives would block those policies and the course of administration and that a Republican congress is esential to the continued successful national ad- Ministration, we call upon the people ef Illinois to see to it that the Repub­ lican delegation in congress from this state shall not be lessened by a single number. ( Praise President Roosevelt.] We commend -<the policy of the na­ tional administration, directed by the unerring judgment of President Roose­ velt. His dauntless courage in the en­ forcement of the laws and the deter­ mination to see to it that, in so far as the power of his great office will per­ mit, every man shall have a square deal, have characterized him as one of the bravest, most fearless and most just men who ever held the high office of president of the United States. Under his wise and energetic adminis­ tration his influence for good has not been confined to our own country, but the influence of the United States among the nations of the earth, both ia war and in peace, among the great nations no less than among smaller states, has been a potential factor in all that works for the good of man- Wind. We heartily Indorse the course pur­ sued in congress by our senators, Hon. 8. M. Cullom and Hon. A. J. Hopkins, pad by the Republican representatives in congress from Illinois. We con­ gratulate them on having satisfied con­ stituencies and on the renomination of all the Republican representatives In congress who desired renomination, and we are proud of the fact that from their number that splendid statesman, Joseph Cannon, has been twice chosen Speaker of the house of representa­ tives. Shelby M. Cullom Indorsed. Perywhere In Illinois the name of tor Shelby M. Cullom is a syn­onym of personal honor and official in­ tegrity. His long political career stands before the people of Illinois to­ day without blemish. His splendid ^ability and wise statesmanship are everywhere recognized. Illinois is justly proud of him. At the recent primary election held in this state the people have expressed unbounded con­ fidence in him and have choBen him to succeed himself. Therefore, be it Resolved, That we heartily Indorse his eandtg&ey for Derifee United States senate, and we hereby " declare him to be the candidate of the Republican party to succeed himself as senator of the United States from the state of Illinois. Cannon for President. -. • -s Mindful of the great responsibilities of the office of president of the United States, hoping for a continuation of the successful policies and wise ad­ ministration of the Republican party, with full confidence in the experience, ability, mental equipment and lofty patriotism of the Hon. Joseph G. Can­ non, of Illinois, for the discharge of these duties and great responsibilities, Illinois most strongly favors and rec­ ommends to her sister states and to the Republican national convention to be held in 1908, the nomination of the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, to the high office ef president of tiie United States. j^ommend Work of Assembly. We commend the forty-fourth gen­ eral assembly of Illinois for its ex­ cellent record and for the passage of all measures promised by the Repub­ lican state platform of 1904, notably the primary election law, the civil service law and the Chicago charter amendment. The primary election law is uniform and compulsory. All primaries are held at the same time and all county conventions on the same day. For state, congressional and senatorial offices a plurality vote of the delegate districts Is abjcjlnjj jpstruction for at least one ballot. The primary ballot of each political party Is surrounded by all the safeguards known to the law. Every delegate to every party > convention is elected by ballot voted in a booth and counted by regularly appointed judges. The provision of the law regarding the nomination of county candidates was made elastic to meet the different conditions ob-, talning in the sparsely settled rural communities and in the thickly set­ tled urban communities in the state. We favor the passage of such amend­ ments as will make it effective. 8tate Administration Indorsed. We favor the extension of the civil service law. We indorse and com­ mend the practical and businesslike administration of Gov. Deneen and the other state officials. We cordially approve the business methods and practical judgment mani­ fested by Gov. Deneen in the appoint­ ment of the various state commis­ sions. In the management and super­ vision of the state institutions he has enlisted the services of some of the ablest men in the state. Hospitals for the.insane have been modernized and pathological departments organ­ ized. Training schools for nurses have been established. For Effective Bank Supervision. We favor legislation which shall compel the most vigorous and accu­ rate Inspection of the state banks of this state, so that losses to depositors shall be reduced to the minimum, and we also favor legislation for the se­ verest punishment for defaulting bank officers and employers possible under our constitution. We approve the efforts of the state administration to procure through its free employment agencies employment for the prisoners released froia^ the penal institutions. We commend the record of the Re­ publican party In labor legislation. We favor the reduction of the employ­ ment of child labor to the minimum and recommend the employment of additional food and factory inspectors. CAlfcRINU FOR TWO MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH* JPUT "SKIMPING" OR WA8TE. Many Dstlclous Cakes Sufficient for fcoupje, and Some Over for ths$, t i Chance Guest--For Bis- ji cults snd Pie Crust. « "This cake is delicious," sighed a young housekeeper at a friend's table. "I never make cake, or biscuit, or pies, because they are only the two of us, and I don't have good luck when I split rules--I don't know how to make little enough. And just as soon as I 'skimp' we are sure to have an unexpected gUest." "The cake question can be easily and satisfactorily settled by using the following rules," replied her hostess. "It is easy, economical and eatable--• three E's not always found together! "Into a mixing bowl put one cup Of sugar, one whole egg and the yolk of another; two tablespoonfuls of soft butter, and one of lard; one small teaspoonful of salt, one heaping tea- spoonful of baking powder--all the spoon will hold; two cups of sifted flour and one cupful of sweet milk. "When everything is in beat very hard for five minutes; flavor with bit­ ter almond, nutmeg or vanilla. The white of the egg makes a frosting. "This makes one Medium-sized cake, or two layers for any kind of filling--cream, chocolate or cocoanut --or about 25 small cakes baked In paty tins. A few raisins, seeded and cut in half, improve these small cakes, and where spices are liked, a teaspoon- ful of cinnamon and a trifle of all­ spice and cloves give the idea of a much richer cake." The peach season is now on. Isn't (here some way to use peaches?" "Certainly. T^o layers of this cake with sliced peaches between, well sprinkled with powdered sugar, makes a most delicious summer des­ sert. Bake the-cake just long enough before serving for it to cool--not to become cold. Don't put the peaches in until the last moment; they turn brown so very quickly. This caks has the further merit of keping fresh for a week or ted days." "John is fond of biscuits," sug­ gested the other. "Well, a good biscuit rule for two is a pint of flour sifted with a half teaspoonful of salt and two scant tea- spoonfuls of baking powder; an even tablespoonful of soft butter or. lard, and a half pint of milk. Cut the lard or butter into the flour with a sharp knife, then mix the milk with a spoon. Turn out on a floured mold­ ing board, and with as little flour as possible, roll or pat the dough with the hands to an inch in thickness; cut with a biscuit cutter and crowd to­ gether Jn a baking dish. Bake in s quick oven. "Pie crust sufficient for one pie .is made by this rule: Into a cup and a half of. flour sifted with a scant half- teasponful of baking powder and the same of salt, cut a very scant half cupful of butter and lard. When well mixed with the flour and without lumps, add half a cup of icewater. Stand the mixture in a refrigerator or cold place for an hour, then turn on the floured molding board one-half the crust at a time and with two or three quick motions roll to the size of the pleplate. This is for the under crust. Fill with fruit or the desired material, and roll out the rest of the crust. Fold in half, and with a knife ciit several gashes. Wet the edge of the lower crust with cold wa­ ter, lay the top crust over, and pinch together." •vi­ cars of Birds. At this time of year, unless great cleanliness is adopted with all cage birds, insect pests will prove most troublesome. It is by no means pleas- The party stands ready to pass sucti ant to find several insects on the further legislation as experience de- hands when the cage is touched mands In the line of making employ­ ment sanitary, healthful and safe. Labor Legislation. The Republican party is the pioneer In labor legislation. Opposition to slavery and all forms of oppression and a desire to aid free labor to the highest degree of educa­ tion, efficiency and happiness are first principles of the party, which has shown its faith by its works for the last 60 years by enacting national and state laws by which the field of labor has been immensely enlarged, wages greatly increased, per diem hours of labor much decreased and laborers made more secure from accident. The Republican party pledges that it will work as faithfully for the Inter­ ests of labor in the future as it has in the past. We Indorse the efforts of the Illinois congressional delegation to secure an appropriation for the completion of a ship canal from the great lakes to the gulf of Mexico. We favor liberal appropriations by the federal government for the im­ provement of the Ohio river, looking to the securing of a nine-foot channel from Pittsburg to Cairo, and we in­ struct our representatives in congress to give their support to the same. TO UPLIFT CHINE8E WOMEN iiirily Newspaper In Their Founded In Peking. Interest ft delly newspaper for women Is now published in Peking, and has awakened a widespread desire on the part of Chinese women to learn to read. It Is called the Peking Wom­ en's Journal, and is the outcome of the intellectual awakening that fol­ lowed the Boxer uprising and the oc­ cupation of the country by the allies. -- In the attempt to assimilate western learning which followed these trou­ bles, the leaders of the nation realized that their women must be educated, and the paper was one of the means adopted to this end. Paragraphs against foot binding appear frequently in the paper, and among the subjects of. recent articles are "Evils of Ob­ taining Evidence by Torture," "Proof That the World Is Round," "Proof That the World Moves," "Cure of Chil­ dren," "Kindness to Animals," "Evils of Opium Taking,' I: Needed Reform In Paris*. Parisian householders have inucn difficulty in disposing of all such ilting as dead cats, dogs and birds, since it is forbidden to put them in the garbage boxes. Their usual de­ vice is to enter into an understanding with a doer of odd jobs, who flings the carcass somewhere without the fortifications. The police have insti­ tuted a reform, and now at most of the gates of the city large iron re­ ceptacles are to be erected, and in these the people are requested to de- ; uwit dead nstc lor removal. . .

Some time ago he was asked to umpire a game between a visiting club and the local nine. Not having anything on the schedule during the appointed day he agreed, but when the time arrived he was sitting in a rather important case. After consultation with coun­ sel on both sides he adjourned court for a couple of hours, whereupon everybody went to the baseball gams. ?

If a cage bird is seen to be picking itself con­ tinually tinder the wings and vent, snd to be restless, and fidget about on the perch at night, insects must certainly be suspected. The bird should be caught and dusted with Insect powder, and a little quassia of alum added to the bath water. If the perches are made hollow for about an inch at each end, the insects will conceal them­ selves in the hollows In the daytime. The perches can then be taken out of the cage frequently, and dipped into boiling water, gettihg rid in this way of numbers of the pests. An old- fashioned plan is to hang a white cloth over the cage at night, leaving room for ventilation. Many of the insects will retire into the folfas at daylight, when the cloth cpn be care* fully removed and dropped into hot water. BACKACHE IS KIDNEY ACHE. Set at the Csuse--Cure the Kidneys. Don't neglect backache. It warns you of trouble in the kidneys. Avert the danger by cur­ ing the kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills. J. A. Haywood, a well known resident of L u f k i n, Tex., says: "I wrenched my back working in a sawmill, was laid up six . weeks, and from that time had pain in my back whenever I stooped or lifted. The urine was badly disordered and for a long time I had attacks of gravel. After I began using Doan's Kidney Pills the gravel passed out, and my back got well. I haven't had back­ ache or bladder trouble since." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. ir-Milburn Co.. Buffalo, N. Y. How to Put On Glovss.

Would 8cratch and Tear the Flesh Un­ less Hands Were Tied--"Would Have Died But for Cuticura." "My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physi­ cian treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of the Soap and a box of the Oint­ ment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. He is now strong and healthy, and I can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, R. F. D.

"I was pending Sunday with the Dumont Smiths, at Kinsley," said Van, In recounting his experience. "We had been up late the night be­ fore and I was a trifle drowsy. I sat out on the front porch listening to the church bells and gazing off into the illimitable space that lies between a shortgrass town and the horizon beyond. "Presently I dropped my hat into a bed of Virginia creeper and dosed off to sleep. I could not have sWpt more than an hour, for the children were passing the house on the way from Sunday school when I awoke. I rubbed my eyes and glanced over at my hat.

A Mich, woman tried Pofetum Food Coffee because ordinary coffee dls- agred wtih her and. her husband. She writes: "Hy husband was sick for three years with catarrh of the bladder, and ^palpitation of the heart, caused by coffee. Was . unable to work at all and in bed part of the time.

ERflOR# ABOUT Tlsp f'M HOUSE. ;*v fpr;:/ WHITE To the Editor: I noticed somewhere recently--I would not say positively that it was in your columns--an article on the White House which contained several mis­ statements. In the first place it was stated the White House was first occupied in 1809 and that its first occupant was President Madison. The fact is, its first occupant was President Adams, who took up his residence there in 1800. The original mansion was begun in 1792. In 1814 it was burned by the British and rebuilt in 1818. Another of the errors in the article referred to was the statement that ready-preparid paint is used on the White House to make it beautifully white. I noticed this especially because I have used considerable paint myself and wondered that "canned" paint should be used on such an Important building when all painters know that pure white lead and linseed oil make the Iwst paint. It so happened also that I knew white lead and linseed oil--not ready- mixed paint--were used on the White House, because I had just read a book­ let published by a firm of ready-mixed paint manufacturers who also manu­ facture pure white lead. In that book the manufacturers admitted that for the White House nothing but "the best and purest of paint could be used," and said that their pure white lead had been selected. Above all people, those who attempt to write on historical subjects should give us facts, even if it Is only a date or a statement about wood, or brick, or paint, er other building material.
