The attraction of the Capital draws form­ er senators and former representa­ tives here just as surely as the call of duty summons the present office­ holders. They drift down in Novem­ ber and scores of them stay until the adjournment, and other scores stay all through the summer. Some men who before they were sent to congress rarely left the en­ vironments of their home villages have found after a term or two in the capital city, that the district had few attractions to offer them, provi­ ded there was money enough in their bank ac- oounts to keep them in comfort in the city by the eye state most of the time now that he has re­ tired from congress, but the Washington lure draws him here occasionally, and he is seen al­ ways in his old haunts. General Grosvenor was such a fixture that it seems impossible to realize when he comes back and appears in the old places that he has been away at all. No one misses Charles Grosvenor more than Champ Clark, the Democratic leader. Grosvenor is a standpatter of such strength that Mr. Cannon it was said, used t» sit abashed in his presence. There are former senators and representatives whose influence has been sufficient to secure them Covernment positions in the capital which will not only allow them to remain h«re, but which will pay them for their stay. The lot of these men seems to be particularly fortunate, and they are the objects of more or less envy on the part of those who would like to stay here, but who ^ owing to pecuniary res- **** t \ mmm ̂ 5.

TO BE HELO AT SPRINGFIELD Is Called for the Purpose of Nomi­ nating Three Candidates for Trus­ tees of the University of Illinois. Springfield.--The Republican state committee, in session at Chicago, is­ sued the official call for the Repub­ lican state convention, to be held In the state arsenal at Springfield at 11 o'clock a. m. September 23. The convention is called for the pur­ pose of nominating three candidates for trustees of th* University of 1111- { uois, the adoption of a party platform, and the transaction of such other business as may come before the con­ vention." The state convention will be com­ posed of 1.R7S delegates, based upon the vote cast for Taft and Sherman, one delegate for each 400 votes or ma­ jor fraction thereof being the basis of representation. The apportionment to Chicago and Cook county is 576 del­ egates, as follows: sons and to inability to get office are compelled to return home. There are plenty of evidences that former rep­ resentatives who have chosen, after having once been defeated in the home district, to stay away from the native heath, are not altogether free from thp criticisms of the home people, and per­ haps th^re is no reason why they should be. When a man who has spent his entire life among cer­ tain people is weaned away froui them by a short residence elsewhere, it seems that resentment springs, and few denials probably will come to the statement that a good many of the former offi­ cials who stay in Washington in preference to go­ ing home are not without frequent intimations that the people back in the district regard them in some degree as deserters. . Of course there are exceptions to every rule and tn the case of senators and representatives of long service, who are poor and perhaps too old to renew the practise of the law, or to take up again their mercantile business where they dropped it to serve their constituents, there is excuse for the acceptance of office in Washington in order that the way of old age may be smoothed. Then again there are the cases of men who haves been in Washington so long representing their states, or their districts, that Washington has become their real home, and here they stay after a change of party administration has re­ moved them from representative office. Of the men who stayed in Washington because the place was like home, there should be men­ tioned former Senator Stewart, "Silver" Stew­ art of Nevada, who died recently. He was a no­ ted figure on the Washington streets all through his congressional career, and through the few years of his retirement prior to his death. Stew­ art's hair and beard were as white as the snow on the top of the Nevada mountains, but until within a few hours of his death he was apparent­ ly as strong as any tree that grows below the mountain timber line. Frequently the former senators and represent­ atives who live in Washington appear upon the floor of congress. They have the right there to appear because of their former services. There is one marked and shining exception, however, to this rule of occasional return to the chamber where the legislative service was rendered. When Senator Spooler of Wisconsin left congress in 1891, to be gone six, years, he declared that he would never appear upon the floor of the senate while he was out of office, nor would be go to the capitol unless his professional business called him to practise before the Supreme Court. Spooner kept his word. He always had objected to the rule which admitted former senators to the floor of the senate. He did not say so, but he thought that in some few cases the lobbying opportunity might be too strong to be resisted by some of the senators who were not above using their personal influ­ ence with their former colleagues on behalf of some specific legislation. % In the spring of 1907, John C. Spooner resigned from the United States Benate. After the six years of his absence from congress was ended he had been returned again to the upper house, but in the spring three years ago he resigned to enter the prictise of law. Since the day that Senator Spoon­ er left for this supposedly the last time, he has not been seen in the senate of the United States, nor has he been seen In the corridors of the cap­ itol. He is in law practise in New York, and oc­ casionally he comes to Washington, but unlike many other former representatives he shuns the actual scene of his legislative activities. Gen. Charles Grosvenor of Ohio, who was in the house of representatives for years, and who was considered one of its most picturesque char­ acters, a man lively and energetic in debate and appealing personal qualities, stays In the Buck- Mr. Clark is a free trader so sturdy that the other strong ones are weaklings; but nevertheless , these two tariff ex­ tremes met and formed a friendship that time and separ­ ation have not been able to break. It was said by some of the high tariff Repub­ licans when General Grosvenor retired, that they were not entirely hopeless as long us John Dal- zell of Pennsylvania remained with them. Dalzell recently had a narrow escape from losing the nomination for congress. If he by any chance should be defeated at the election it is believed that the lure will be as strong upon him as it has upon the others. Dalzell is as picturesque in his way as Gros­ venor is in his way. It always was said of him that he never slept. He Is nervous energy in the essence, and more watchful of Republican inter­ ests generally on the floor than is the titular Re­ publican leader. Mr. Dalzell. is always looking out for the Interests of his constituents. One drowsy June day when the house was heavy and business was simply droning its way through, Dalzell yielding to environment, nodded and then napped. Instantly the wily, wide awake Democrats put through something to which no one saw any objection. It touched Pittsburg. Dalzell awoke too late. He had been asleep at the switch. Had his eyes never known night since that hour, he could not have lived down the memory of that one unconscious moment. One day just before the close of the last session, as he was leaving the White House, three voices in unison called to him so that all within a block eould hear: "Any sleep this session, John?" Dalzell was wakeful to this emergency and his answer carried little comfort to the inquirers, for none of the three was a standpatter: "Not if the tariff is up," he said. During the closing days of the last session of congress something of a "filibuster" was at­ tempted by the Democrats in the senate in order to make sure that action should be taken on the statehood bill. A filibuster Is known to the par­ ties as an attempt to delay legislation. The sen­ ate has no set rules like those of the house, and so if one man chooses to talk on any particular subject, he can delay the consideration of any measure that he chooses, and the limit of his en­ durance is the limit of the delay that he can force although if he has other senators of his own mind they can "spell" him in the speaking, and thus in relays continue the filibuster almost Indefinitely. One of the most noted filibusters of recent years was conducted by three men still in the service, and curiously enough the arrangement tor the filibuster was made by members of both parties. The active participants were Senators Stone of Missouri and Gore of Oklahoma, Demo­ crats and Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, Re­ publican. These three senators made up their minds that they did not wish to have a vote taken on the currency bill which had been introduced vby Sen­ ator Aldrich of Rhode Island, a bill which some of the senators said was a mere makeshift and would accomplish no good purposes. In these days it is hard to find in congress a typical Yankee voice which the Englishmen say is our national characteristic. Gore of Oklahoma, however, has it. Why, It is hard to tell, but he has It in full measure, and ho Maine coast man in Yankee voice characteristics can surpass this senator of the western plains state. The filibuster in which Gore, La Follette and Stone took part was contained through a night and a day when Washington was hotter than It ever had been known to be before, at least so the natives say. When Washington heat takes pos­ session of the capitol's interior It lays hold on the premises not to let go until November. It is Impossible to keep cool In either house of con­ gress when the heat of this climate strikes In. During the fearful heat and humidity all one night long, Senator La Follette spoke in an en­ deavor to keep the currency bill from coming to a vote. He held the floor for 18% hours practic­ ally without stopping. Senator La Follette Is for­ tunate in one respect. When he was a boy, and a little later, he had a thorough training in elocu­ tion. If his teacher taugh him nothing else, he gave him the secret of strengthening his vpice. At the end of 18 Vs hours of strenuous/effort. La Follette spoke as clearly as he did at ithe be­ ginning. Perhaps this is not the exact tnith, for as a matter of fact, curiously enough, the Wiscon- sin senator's voice seemed to be actually in bet ter condition during the closing hour of his ad iress than it was during the opening hour. The Wisconsin senator naturally has rather a rasping voice which like the voice of Gore of Ok­ lahoma, is open to the Yankee characterization, but twang, accent, idiosyncracy or whatever you may choose to call it, passes with the first tew minutes of utterance. The roughness is smoothed away^and the words fall smooth and rounded and with a cer­ tain appealing force, even though the subject have nothing of appeal. ' When a senator has the floor in his own right, he can talk upon any subject under the sun. He does not of necessity have to confine himself to the subject in hand. So It was that La Follette did not speak entirely of the currency question, but about other matters as w^il. Occasionally in order that he might spare his bijain the trouble of thought and so keep it unwearied he read from a book of Action. [ During many of the hours La Follette spoke there were comparatively few senators in the cham­ ber. Hour after hour he spoke, and then taking up his book of fiction, he read with a perfect re­ gard for the rules of enunciation. His auditors were all sleepy and most of them were out of humor be­ cause there were only two who were in sympathy with the speaker, ana yet perforce every person in the chamber gave heed to what La Follette was reading. For Its subject matter perhaps they cared not a whit, and yet by the force of his reading elo­ quence he drove it home to their attention. When La Follette had ceased speaking Senator Gore of Oklahoma, who as had been planned, took up the work and kept at it for some hours. He was relieved by Senator Stone of Missouri, who already was tired with his previous vocal attempt to keep the senate from a vote. The Missouriau kept it up for seven hours and then Gore relieved him once more. That flilibuster ended because Gore being blind, failed to note, and no one told him, that Sen­ ator Stone whom he expected was to relieve him, was not present in the chamber when the Oklaho­ ma senator sat down for the third time. The vice- president Instantly put the vote and the filibuster had been In vain. Ward. I Ward. 1 ... 9 19 7 2 ... 17 20 ..... 18 S ... 18' 91 is 4 . . . .... 9 5 ... 9I28 11 6 ...

Sweeping changes in the laws governing the employers' liability for workmen's accidents in Illinois were recommended in the tentative report of the employers' liability com­ mission of Illinois which met at Chi­ cago. The recommendations were put in the form of a letter and were uent to manufacturers, labor leaders and lawyers throughout the state. The commission was authorized by the Forty-sixth legislature, appointed by the governor, and organized March 24. 1910, to "Investigate the problem of industrial accidents," and to report "a draft of any such bill or bills as may be deemed appropriate" for ac­ complishing "the most equitable and effectual method of providing for com­ pensation for losses snffered as afore­ said." in this work the commission has for its aim the conservation of human life, and the happiness and op­ portunity provided by a greater sense of Industrial security. A scale of compensation for all In­ dustrial accidents is provided for In the plan of the commission and the law is made compulsory in form. The workman does not lose his former right at common law, but his position is strengthened, according to a state­ ment of Samuel A'. Harper, attorney for the commission. The employer shall not escape lia­ bility. ' said Mr. Harper, "if the new plan Is made a law, on account of the fellow-servant rule, the assumption of risk, or the contributory negligence of the employe, unless the negligence be greater than the negligence of the employer, all of which have in time past prevented compensation. "We do not contemplate industrial Insurance," continued the attornev, "liii? we have worked out a scale of compensation for all industrial acci­ dents as follows: For death, where there are depend­ ents. three years' wages, but not less than $1,500. nor more than $3,000. Where there are no dependents, the sum paid is not to exceed $200. It Wouldn't Stretch. The assessor waa doing th# beat he could, hat the farmer shrewd and wary.

There are surely more than 20 acres in that tract. Soy pose you stretch that a little." "Say, feller," said the farmer, "this ain't no rubber plantation."--Harport* Monthly.

NOT JOKING THEN. WALKING FOR HEALTH. f Who has not heard that certain exercises are good for us because they "shake up" the fiver? But it is not the best thtpg in the world to shake up the liver violently unless one is a trained athlete; and ordinary men and women are very far from being in that category. Exercise increases large­ ly the liver's production both of bile and of sugar. Hence if it be more violent than that to which one is accustomed, more bile and sugar may be formed than can be taken care of by the system, and the subject may have what is called in popular parlance a "bilious attack." Now this 1b where walking comes in as a happy medium in exercise. We can often "walk off" a headache or a digestive distur­ bance when running would only aggravate the trou­ ble. It is a fact, supported by the highest authority, that a moderate exercise, such as walking, is a great aid to digestion. To.run would retard diges­ tion. In other words, you will® digest your dinner better if you walk immediately after having eaten it, than if you sit still. Try this, and !f you are thin you will gain In weight, besides saving more in the cost of living than you will lose in the wear and tear of shoe leather. "But suppose you are already corpulent, will walk­ ing after meals, in that case, make you stouter? No. Paradoxical as the statement may sound, walking will in that case make you thinner. Fat is a very unstable compound, and when it is pres­ ent in excess more of it is destroyed by the In­ creased amount of oxygen in the blood--due to the exercise--tl an is deposited by the blood, while on the other hand when adipose tissue is deficient the oxygen-bearing blood, which also carries fatty par tieles, deposits mute fat than it can destroy, and thus the thin subject grows heavier. Walking, then. In the open air is an exercise par excellence for everybody. It shakes up the liver just enough to keep it in good working order, it enriches the blood by increasing its amount of oxygen, thus favoring the destruction and elimina­ tion from the system of poisonous waste products, particularly by the lungs, skin and kidneys, and finally by stimulating activity of nutrition in the muscles it tends to prevent the deposition of mor­ bid matters of a tuberculosis or cancerous nature. Boys' State Fair Rally. The Hoys State Fair rally has been appointed for Wednesday, October 5, 1910, and promises to be an event of unusual interest to the boys of this and adjoining counties.

Promises to be Perfect INlammoth Lens Recently Cast In Prance Seems to Justify Expectations. The word's second 100-inch telescope lens was recently cast in France and Is now in process of cooling. The first •uch large lens, which was attempted some years ago, proved a failure, yet everything seems to show that the one just cast will be a success. This, however, cannot be known with cer­ tainty until the cooling process is over, a few month being required to let the heat properly leave the lens. Over eight feet in diameter, and five tons in weight, this lens is so large and cumbersome that its proper mounting will be difflcult. As planned, it will be hoisted to the top of Mount Wilson, over a mile above the sea, there to be built into the observatory telescope. As this gigantic piece of glass must be so placed that it can be moved by clockwork to counteract the movement of the earth in rotating, it will be pivoted upon a steel bearing which has been immersed In mercury, as was the 60-inch lens, the largest hitherto in the world. If it be remembered that to obtain a successful, flawless lens hundreds must be cast, the best of them se­ lected, and so on until one elear and uninjured is obtained, this process oft­ en taking as long as three years, the cost and worth of this 8 1-3 foot lent will readily be appreciated. Astrono omere all over the globe are said t< be awaiting news of the success « failure of the lens with the keenest interest, as t^iey believe if wllh If sue cessful, throng light on a great man] as yet unexplained astral phenomena --The Pathfinder.

It is a innet fitting thing that the Illinois Farmers' institute should hold its first mid-summer institute at the college of agriculture in Urbana, where their own efforts a dozen years ago and ever since have brought so much to pass. There will be two sessions each day at which able specialists will speak on topics Important to both farmers and town people who are in­ terested in the development of our agricultural and commercial resources. An inspection tour will be made each day to. the extensive soil and crop ex­ periment fields, the fat cattle, and hor­ ticultural departments, with guides to explain the valuable work In prog­ ress. All this program Is free to the public, and every one interested is in­ vited to come. Summer is the only time to see the plant growth, and the great differ­ ences which mark the outcome of the tests, which mean so muob to farm­ ers throughout the state. A committee of Illinois operators spent the day with President Lewis in Indianapolis, urging him to depose President Walker of Illinois and agree­ ing to open up their mines in the hope that the men can be induced to return to work. The operators are working day and night trying to hold their forces together, as many of the indi­ viduals are protesting that the fight has lasted long enough and they are ready to sign the scale demanded by the miners in the Peoria convention. Operators employing ai>out 3,000 men arranged to meet President Walker here and sign the scale, but they were induced to hold off another d^y in the hope that Lewis can force through the compromise.

The Illinois coal mine situation--in­ volving a stubborn strike that has lasted nearly four months--is to be considered at a conference in Indian­ apolis next week, and Its complicated and peculiar angles smoothed out, if possible. At the present time the matter is not a row between the mine owners and the mine workers; It is a juris­ dictional squabble in the miners' union. The whole trouble will be taken up In Indianapolis. After the disagreement last spring a series of conferences were held, which had no result. T. L. Lewis, na­ tional president of the union, was called in, but could do nothing with President Walker of the Illinois union. It is 6aid that Walker is hostile to Lewis hecause Lewis beat him for the presidency. Some time ago the mine operators were notified to go to Indianapolis, where' their case would be heard by the executive council of the Miners' national union. This hearing was held by the council of five men and a com­ promise was reached. _ His Soft Answer.
