111 ; akv HON.-- (iids. Whitney ..OF WAUKEGAN.. CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF • THIS J U D I C I A L D I S ­ TRICT. - - - - -PRIMARIES-- Tuesdiy, April 13,1909. WHITNJEY AND FROST WILL BE NOMINATED Support From Winnebage County Hakes the Nominati^ of Hon. Charles Whitney of Wauke- gan Sure.--This County Should Have Third Place. The writer believes now, as he a lways has, that Lake county is-most of all entitled to one of the three circuit judgeships. It has the largest law business of any one of the four coun ties, and is second in population, and a grave mistake was made when a few lawyers and poli ticians in this and Boone county sought to keep Hike county fro m having representation on the circuit bench. If politicians had left it to the voters, where it rightly belongs, no one would have ever doubted the nomination of Mr. Whitney. The voters of the entire district would undoubtedly have felt that this county, the third in vote, population and law business, was also rightly entitled to a resident judge. - Every other candidate, and every voter in the four counties, who know the exact condi­ tions, have always conceded the renomination of Judge Frost of Rockford, as his county is first in population and vote, but second to Lake county in law business. The nomination of Mr. Whitney and Judge Frost as two of the next c ircuit judges is now apparently as certain as that primary day co mes. The readers of The Plaindealer should thoroly understand that any apparent contest in this county over judicial nominations is not against the renomination of Judge Donnelly. Neither Mr. Whitney or any of his supporters have ever asked one voter in this county to vote against the renomination of our own local candidate. No man ever sought a nomination for office that has made as dignified, clean and fair a canvass for votes as the one that has been made by Hon. Charles Whitney of Waukegan, and a canvass of that kind always wins with tlie voters. Not one word can be said against his character as a man, his ability as a lawyer or his eminent fitness for the office he is seeking. The apparent contest in this county is WHETHER A FEW LAWYERS AND POLITI­ CIANS AT THE COUNTY SEAT CAN TRADE THE ENTIRE VOTE OF THIS COUNTY AGAINST MR. WHITNEY, and thereby jeopardize the chances of this county retaining rep­ resentation on the circuit bench. 0 The politicians of this county say that Judge Wright's renomination is absolutely sure and that our own local candidate is the only one tha t is in danger of defeat, and therefore a vote for Mr. Whitney is surely a vote against our own local candidate. The average voter never thinks to ask them how voting for Boone county's candidate will increase the vote of our own, which of course is as untrue as that a vote for Mr. Whitney takes a vote from our own loco! candidate. Their associate politicians in Boone county that are working more to defeat Mr. Whitney than for their own candidate say that Judge Donnelly of McHenry county is sure of renomina­ tion, and Judge Wright is the only one of the three present judges that really is in danger of defeat, hence7irv«te for Mr. Whitney in Boone county is also a vote against Boone county's candidate. - Judge Wright's paper* the Belvidere Daily Republican, in a recent edition (editorially) said: , - ' "It is fair to presume that JUDGES FROST AND DONNELLY WILL BE GIVEN ENOUGH VOTES TO LAND WINNERS by the large vote of Winnebago and McHenry coun ties.. ^ " * "The earlier the voters of Boone county come to understand that a vote for Whitney is a vote against Judge Wright the stronger it will be for the chances of "Little Boone" retaining its judge upon the bench. No amount of cunning argument can alter the figures of the presi­ dential 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 JUDGETWRIGHT, IF EITHER^F THE PRESENT JUDGES FAIL OF ELECTION." The politicians really ought to explain to the voters of this and Boone county which one of the two present judges they really want nominated, or whether they.are seeking only the defeat of Mr. Whitney, regardless of whether it is this or Bo6ne county that loses represents tion on the circuit bench. , • g * The voters of Winnebago coijnfcy evidently don't f avor political trickery of this kind, as the united press of that county,, with one exoep^ign, is advocating the nomination of Mr. Whit ney. . • ~ , The Rockton Herald of that county comes out editorially for Frost and Whitney alone. and says: "As thp time draws nearer, the voters in all parts of Winnebago ̂ county are more and more uniting in the opinion that common fairness demands that Lake county, so long neglect­ ed, be given representation on the bench. In fact, more than this, justice emphatically de­ mands it. "Remember, every voter has THREE votes, as there are three j dgea to be elected. THEREFORE, A VOTE FOB MR..WHITNEY DOES NOT IMPAIR JUDGE FROST'S CHANCES." . ' "Let us all get*out on April 13 and gives Judge Frost and MR. WHITNEY BACH A VOTE.* V ° The Rockford Daily Republic, the strongest Republican paper of that city, in speaking of the candidacy of Mr. Whitney recently said: r "Mr. Whitney's friends in Winnebago county declare that Lake county has too long been without a resident judge; that the honor should be passed around; that a judgeship should now be given to Lake county, which ranks very clb^J^^nnebago county. With this end in view, many voters here are now supporting Mr. Whitney's candidacy, and, with the big-vote which Mr. Whitney is certain„of in Lake and McHepry counties,.VJjpPOfty FOU THE LAKE MAN IS POSITIVE." r - Woodmen Society Witt Conduct FrM 8*nxtorlg|n For lut Membttr*.

Conn. 4 At th« last, meeting of the executive council of the Modern Woodmen society, held at the headquarters of the aociety in Rock Island. ill., it was decided to conduct that society's sanatorium, U> , cated at Colorado Springs, Colo., for thr? treatment of members afflicted with tuberculosis, free of all charge to 11101a hers. The Modern Woodmen society, sev­ eral ifconths since, acquired 1,330 acres of laud within seveu miles of Colorado Springs, and has established thereon an op to date sanatorium, the tent colony plan being employed. The first colony was opened for the reception of patients on Jau. 1, 1909. It is equipped to care for 60 patients, to which number ad­ missions will be limited for the present. The tents are octagonal structures, with shingle roofs, canvas sides, hard wood floors on solid cement foundations, heated by a central plant, equipped with ail modern conveniences, such as telephones, etc., and each teut will ac commodate one patient. An adminis­ tration building for physicians, nurses, dining hall, baths of all kinds, etc, stands in the center of the colony. Dr. J. E. White, formerly of the Nordrach ranch sanatorium, the mod ical director in charge, states that only those consumptive members who Are curable, or whose lives may be prolonged for a considerable length of time, will be admitted as patients. The wisdom of this rule is apparent. Rigid medical examination as a condition precedent to admission will be insisted upon in every case, and special blank forms have been prepared for this purpose. A movement is already under way to equip the second colony plant of sixty tents. £ach tent or tent house, com­ pletely equipped, represents an expense of $250, and a number of local camps, or lodges, of the society have decided to donate tents. As there are over 13,000 local camps of Modem Woodmen, and over 1,000,000 members, it is anticipated that several colonies will soon be equipped in this Way. The members and local camps of the society >have voluntarily contributed to the sanatorium fund over $70,000, and at the last national convention a permanent tax of ten cents per member per year was voted to the support of this work. The last official Woodmen reports show that dariilg the years 1891-1907, inclusive, 14.5 per cent of the total mortality, or 5,156 deaths, were charged to tuberculosis, and that 18.9 per cent of the total insurance losses in those years, or $9,065,000, resulted from thiB cause. As the mortality experience of the Woodmen society has been un­ usually favorable, being but 70 per cent of the expected at all ages under the National Fraternal congress table, a death rate of but 6.29 per 1,000--or but 4.98 per 1,000, if the experience of the first tiye membership years be in­ cluded--the heavier insurance losses in­ flicted upon other societies experienc­ ing a higher mortality may be conser­ vatively approximated. If the Woodmen society, with its exceptionally favorable mortality, finds it to be "Good business" to fight con­ sumption in this way, why should not other fraternal societies, life insurance companies, labor organizations, the national and international church bodies, eto,, find it profitable, from the,, viewpoint of business or benevolence, or both, to take such action? Each life saved to the Woodmen so­ ciety, by means of this sanatoi^mn, will, it is stated, represent a saving of $ 1.7(H)--the average amount of the Woodmen policies in force--at an ex­ pense for treatment of approximately one twentieth of that sum. In the broader sense, each life saved means the preservation to the family of its bead and bread-winner, and to the state of a useful, self-sustaining citizen. High Quality. The next attraction at the Central opera bouse will be Eugene Moore's dramatization of Mrs. E. D. E. N. South worth s famous old story, 'The Hidden Hand," and tells a story of the folks who live amid the mountains and valleys of probably the most homelike region of the United States--old Virginia. It is said to be one of those natural plays that leaves » strohg and favorable im­ pression wherever it is presented. Take your sister to see "The Hidden Hand" and it will not cause a blush; take the children and they will be amused at its abundance of humor; take the old folks and they will enjoy a revival of old as­ sociations. It is a play for all and the company is said to be an exceptionally meritorious one. Sunday evening, April 4. In this day of efficient fife extinguish­ ers, no farm house or barn should be without such protection. It often hap­ pens that a fire is easily extinguished when first discovered if the means are at hand for doing the work. Here is a good formula which will prove effective: Take ten pounds of common salt and five pounds of muriate of ammonia and dissolve in four gallons of water. When dissolved bottle it and keep for an emergency. In case of a fire one or more bottles sttttald be thrown into the flames Kith such force as to break tbem For everything in farm machinery tee a*. Wm. StoJftL ,Arbor and Bird day will be observed on Friday, April 23 This day should l»e generally observed by all pt-ople. is would l*e well if more of the Improve ment associations of the county would make special arrangements for the proper observance of the day. The pamphlet issued by the State Depart­ ment of Instruction for J he present year along thin line is unusually full of prac­ tical suggestions. Clubs wishing thes* pamphlets can obtain them by writing to Snpt. F. G, Glair, Springfield, lit. The plans for the coming institute and the federation meeting are prac­ tically completed and it is now for the teachers and the people to show their appreciation of the work done by this organization by liberally patronizing it. The institute couvened at Saunders' hall. Harvard, at nine o'clock a. ui., on Monday, March 29.. All meetings are open to the public and the people are urged to come to all sessions of both the institute and the federation. Supt, George W. Brown of Paris, III., lectured at 3:1.1 on Wednesday afternoon, and also at 7:30 on Wednesday evening. The federation , meeting began (this (Thursday) morning at 9:80 a. m., and will continue in session for two days. There will be an abundance of good music interspersed thru the program. A letter from J. Heber Smith of Cam­ bridge, III., Henry county, states that seven district schools voted to consoli­ date in the town of Osco. He further­ more states that their progress in the improyement of the country schools would be greatly furthered if the legis­ lature would pass the bill providing for the payment of the cost of transporta­ tion of children to the public Schools from public funds and by the passage of a bill providing for the establishment of the township unit. Mr. Smith is one of the leading farmer* of Henfy county. The vote to consolidate these seven country districts was the result of some hard work done by such men as Mr. Smith and Mr. Hadley, who had cour­ age and convictions combined with personal influence of sufficient weight to overcome the arguments based large ly on traditions and a wrong sense of economy. The present out-worn conn- try school system (?) is boand to*go the way of all other good but antiquated systems in due time. However, it will mean many hard fought battloe with the forces of conservatism and mammon before the thing iB accomplished. In the meantime, I suppose that we shall go on calmly sacrificing the golden op­ portunities of thousands of couhtry children and continue to strive vainly to build solidly on a rotten foundation. The present successful country schools are maintained almost wholly by the in­ spiring personality of a master teacher who builds around herself and in spite of an archaic system. But when she moves on to broader fields, as she will, the chances are nearly three to one that the whole structure falls with a crash. There is but one economic rule to guide all country directors as well as all pub­ lic officials in the financial management of the affairs of the public, i. e., manage the affairs of the public with the same conscientious, intelligent attention that you do your own private business. If country directors shonld do this, the present system would be annulled in­ side of one year. If anyone doubts this, sit down and figure the per capita cost of maintaining the schools in most of our countny schools and then compare it with the opportunities offered to the town and city children with much less cost per capita. Friday afternoon of the federation program will be devoted to the dis­ cussion of the "Problems of the Dairy­ man." We have secured the services of A. J. Glover, assistant editor of Hoard's Dairyman, as the leading speaker. There will be a general dis­ cussion of the topic by the farmers fol­ lowing Mr. Glover's talk. Mr, Glover is well and thoroly known among the farmers of McHenry county and it is probable that no better man could haye been secured to treat the subject that is engrossing the attention of all dairy­ men, in a thoro and interesting manner. Farmers, come out on Friday, April 2, and help to make the Harvard meeting memorable in the history of the county. The officers of the various farmers' organizations, of the county will be given programs for distribution and will be asked to help advertise the meeting in as wide a mariner as possible. Place Your Order Mow. The government postal authorities have caused to be posted in every posi- office in the country circular letter to the public, urging everyone to use en­ velopes with a return card printed thereon. Every business man, farmer or person of any occupation should have his name and address printed on his envelopes, thus insuring their return to the sender/iJ.ahY mistake is made in the address. Call at The Plaindealer office and leave orders for this stationery and it will be put up in first-class manner. We have arranged with The Weekly Inter-Ocean so that our patrons can se­ cure that sterling paper, together with our own, at the exceedingly low rate of $1.75 for one year. This is a rare op­ portunity and should be taken advant­ age of. Specimen C Ballot Election on Tuesday, April 6, 1909. Met For Supervisor. • S. H. FREUND For Town Clerk. 3 CHAS. B.
