Whitney ..OF WAUKEQAN.. CANDIDATE FOR JIJDGK OF THIS JUDICIAL DIS­ TRICT. . . . . --PRIMARIES-- Tuesday, April 13,1909. THE TRADE EXP05ED Deceiving the Voters of two Counties at the Same Time, and With the Same Cry. Lawyers and Politicians are Working Two Against Whitney. IN M'HENRY COUNTY. Judge Donnelly's paper, The Sentinel, says (April 1): "IT MUST BE PLAIN TO THE VOTERS OP McHENRY COUNTY THAT THE NOMINATION OF JUDGES FROST AND WRIGHT IS CONCEDED AND THAT THE REAL CONTEST IS. BETWEEN JUDGE DONNELLY AND MR. WHITNEY. How can a friend of Judge Donnelly assist in his nomination by voting for his opponent, Mr. Whitney'? "Let the voters consider carefully the above explanations and let him see if he will not come to the conclusion that 'A VOTE FOR MR. WHITNEY IS A VOTE AGAINST JUDGE DONNELLY.' " IN BOONE COUNTY. Judge Wright's paper, the Belvidere Re­ publican, says (March "IT IS FAIR KNOUGH TO PRESUME THAT JUDGES FROST AND DONNELLY WILL BE GIV EN ENOUGH VOTES TO LAND WIN NERS BY THE LARGE VOTE OF Mc­ HENRY AND WINNEBAGO COUNTIES. "The earlier the voters of Boone county come to understand that A VOTE FOR W HITN E Y IS A VOTE AG AIN ST JUDGE WRIGHT, the stronger it will be for 'Little Boone' retaining its judge upon the bench. No amount of cunning argument can alter the figures of the presidential vote, AND NO SMOOTH, OILY TALK CAN CONVINCE THE FRIENDS OF JUDGE WRIGHT THAT THE WHITNEY MOVEMENT IN BELVIDERE WILL NOT RESULT IN THE DEFEAT OF JUDGE WRIGHT." Will Voters Approve of Such Methods? When the same methods are used at the same time in two counties it ought to convince anyone that a bare faced deal or trade was made by the lawyers or politicians to box up, keep and deliver on primary day the entire vote of tfie two counties to their combination and against Mr. Whitney. Ask the politicians to explain why a vote for .Judge Donnelly in Belvidere is not als o a vote against Judge Wright, or even why a vote in this county for Judge Wright is not also a vote against our local candidate.1' It certainly looks like a trade against Lake county, and the voters cannot be blamed if they refuse to be traded. Combination Broken--Voters Won't Be Traded. "THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING TIIE SITUATION IN THE JUDICIAL CAMPAIGN ARE NOW FREELY PREDICTING VICTORY FOR JUDGE FROST AND CHARLES WHITNEY, OF WAUKEGAN, AT THE POLLS ON APRIL 13, WHEN THE JUDICIAL BRIMARY IS TO BE HELD. "This prediction is based oil the claim that the attempt to pool the candidacies of the three present judges, frost, Wright and Donnelly, has failed utterly in the two biggest counties of the district, namely, ^Vinnebago and Lake, and because even in the smaller counties of Mc­ Henry and Boone the politicians are having trouble in keeping the voters in line for tlie com­ bine idea. The voteis all over the district are resenting,the scheme of the lawyers to merge the interests of the three present judges, but especially is this true in Winnebago county, where the voters refuse to be held up for votes by any implied threat of Judge Frost s defeat. " Who Will Explain? Editor Plaindealer: If it is true in Boone county that a vote for Mr. Whitney is a vote against Judge Wright, and also that a vote for Mr. Whitney in this county is a vote against Judge Donnelly, I would like the politicians to explain why it is not equally true that a vote in Boone county for Judge Donnelly is not a v.ote against Judge Wright, and also why a vote in this county for Judge Wright is not also a vote against Judge Donnelly ? Do these smart lawyers and politicians think that we voters have not common sense and cannot see their scheme, which is to keep votes from Whitney? A VOTEK Whitney and Frost In Winnebago and Lake. "All the papers of Lake county are enthusiastic for Frost and Whitney, leaving the small­ er counties to squabble among themselves over the third man, and all that is necessary for the final success of Judge Frost and Mr. Whitney is for the voters of Winnebago and Lake coun ties to stand together. The big vote of these counties will elect, not the votes of the other counties, and with the Winnebago county resenting the political trickery played upon Judge Frost THERE IS NO CHANCE WHATEVER FOR THE 'TRIO' TO WIN. The people rule. Every candidate that wins must stand alone and be backed by just claims for the bench SUCH CLAIMS ARE BEHIND MR. WHITNEY AND JUDGE FROST AND CONSE QUENTLY THEY WILL BOTH WIN, AND THEIR VICTORY WILL BE A VICTORY OF THE PEOPLE OVER THE LAWYERS AND POLITICIANS."-From Rockford Re­ public. Did the Best He Could. In the absence of the regularly ap­ pointed spokesman, Mr. Makinbrakes had reluctantly consented to make a presentation speech. "Miss Ili-jrhaiu." he said, "unfortu nately it is my--er--fortunate lot tc fulfill the embarrassing--the pleasant duty of--«if inflicting a few remarks upon this oci asiou--which is highly ap­ preciated. I assure you. and by none more so than myself, for the reason that--in short, as 1 may say, it falls to my kit'to convey, so to speak, t lie as­ surances of--that is, with tlie assur­ ances of tl> • c- to whom--to whom I have occasion to refer to--more or less -- In this connection, together with the best wishes, if I uiay so express my­ self. of those who have clubbed fogetli- er--who have associated themselves-- not that you need anything of the kind, of course., but as a token uf--as a token of--of--with which few re­ marks. Miss Higham. it is my--triy pleasant surprise to hand you this gold watch and chains I--I thank you."-- Chicago Tribune. & Returned by the Glacier. One of the first instances on record of a body returned by a Swiss glacier is that of the Hainei accident, which took place in 1820. Several guides were swept down by an avulatiche and hurled into a crevasse. Haniel prophe­ sied that the glacier would yield them up again in the course of a thousand years, but I>r. Forbes believed that the end of the glacier would be reach­ ed by the bodies in forty years. This statement was considered bold, but its accuracy was borne out by the event. In forty years the flow of Ice brought the bodies to light. In 18(56 Henry Arkwrlght was lost In a glacier. In just thirty-one years his brother received a telegram from the mayor of Chamounl that the body was found. Every article of clothing was Intact. His name and regiment could be read clearly on his handker­ chief, and his gold pencil case opened and shut as easily as when he last used It three decades before.--"True Tales of Mountain Adventure." Shakespeare and the Actors. Why do we call Garrlck a" great ac­ tor? Because the box office of his time acclaimed him one. Davies tells us how his first performance of Rich­ ard III. was received with loud aud reiterated applause. How his "look and actions when he pronounced the words. "OIT with his head; so much for Buck­ ingham, "were so significant and Important from his visible enjoyment of the in­ cident that several loud shouts of ap­ probation proclaimed the triumph of the actor and satisfaction of the au­ dience." A modern purist would have walked out of the playhouse when his ear was insulted by Gibber's tag, but from a theater point of view It Is a good tag. aud 1 have always thought it a pity that Shakespeare forgot to set it down himself and left to Clbber the burden of finishing the line.--Judge Parry in Cornhili Magazine.

A MX Why the Earth Cannot Explode. The theory is frequently advanced that planets and even suns sometimes explode aud that the earth may some day blow up like a bombshell. No celestial body the sixe of the earth could possibly explode. If the entire molten interior of our globe could be replaced with nitroglycerin and deto­ nated the explosion would not lift the earth's crust. In other words, if we assume that the crust of the earth Is from fifty to a hundred miles in thick­ ness it would require something much more powerful than even nitroglycerin to burst the shell. It is necessary only to do a little figuring to see that the pressure of the earth's crust at a depth of from fifty to a hundred miles far exceeds the pressure exerted by the most powerful high explosive.-- Hudson Maxim. Too Literal. "Well, yes," said old Uncle Lazzen- berry, who was Intimately acquainted with most of the happenstances of the village, "Altnira Stang has broken off her engagement with Charles Henry Tootwiler. They'd be goin' together for about eight years, durin' which time she had been inculcatin' into him, as you might call it, the beauties of economy. Kut when she discovered just lately that he had learnt his les­ son so well that he had saved up 217 pairs of socks for her to darn immedi­ ately alter the wedding she 'peared to conclude that he had taken her advice a little too literally and broke off the match."--ruck. Moneymaking Frenchmen. If you meet a family party in a finely appointed carriage on the island of Montreal, nine times out of ten it Is a French family.

Kuightsof Colnnibna, have arranged for llie holding of an Easter dance at Stotfel's hall on Mon­ day evening, April 12. The Knights have the Jevinahle reputation of doing things up right, no matter what the undertaking may be, and, in making good the good name that they have thus acquired, they are sparing no pains or expense in uiakjng this dance a highly euju>abie one for ail who attend. The music will be furnished by Sher­ man's prchestra of Woodstock. No further comments are necessary for this pan ol rhe program as the popular musical organization is too well known to necessitate an introduction to the daucers of this vicinity. The supper will be served in the base- ment dining hall by the ladies of the Altar aud Rosary society of St Pat­ rick's Catholic church at 85 cents per plate. The ladies of the society bear the distinction of being among the top- notchers when it comes to serviug and they promise to take good care of all who sit down to their tables ou this occasion. The floor will be under the super­ vision ot the following named commit tee: McHenry, John R. Knox; West McHenry, Henry .1. Schaffer; Emerald Park, Edward Sntton; Terra Cotta. Clyde Starritt; Woodstock, .las. Green; Nnnda, Andrew Henderson, ,lr.; Wan conda, Johu Mnrphy. The graud march will take place st promptly 5) 80 p. in., at which time the program for the evening will also be handed out. Horses and house baggage will be cared for free of charge, while the usual price of fl.00 will prevail for admission to the hall. The Knights ol Columbus extend a general invitation to all and assure all those who accept the invitation an eujoyable time. POST CARDS ANCJ DUNS Pimlofllce Department Rule* Thnt llnna Mnttl He in Settled Letters. Fraternal societies, church societies, any aud every society tiiat levies assess­ ments must, according to a roeut rnling of the postoftice department at Wash ingtou, notify their members relative to the payment of^dues ou other than post al cards. For many years postal cards have been used by various societies to uotify their members relative to dues aud their paymeut. The department has ruled that this is no more nor less than a dnn and a vio­ lation of the law which will not permit a merchant or member of any trade, craft or profession to mail a statement of indebtedness to a patron in an nn sealed letter. The same rule has been held to apply to fiaternal a.«sef amenta. The violation of the law was first noted by a Michigan man and the mat­ ter brought to the attention of the post master general. Now that the rnling has been made, the fraternal societies will be expected to act accordingly. Hereafter such notices, if sent, must be enclosed in a letter. The enforcement of this law means quite an additional expense to mauy lodges, as it involves the necessity of utilizing a two ceut stamp instead of a one cent stamp and the additional ex pense of an envelope in notifying each member. The law was brought about to protect debtors from collecting agen­ cies that have caused many people con siderable embarrassment by utilizing postal cards to enforce the collecting ot alleged debts. Notification of the date upon which dues are payable in society matters is h convenience instead of an enbarrasinen to members, aud there is 110 question but that the Tranters of the regulation had no intention of its iu any way af­ fecting societies. However, under its reading the law does affect societies and they will be compelled to observe it. 5wept Over Niagara.
