REFUSE TO AID LA FOLLETTE Illinois Editors Favor the Candidacy of President Taft for Re­ election-- Assail Di­ rect Primary. Springfield.--The Republican Edi­ torial association of Illinois has de­ cided to hold a meeting next May. The executive eommitiee will name the place an4 date later. The purpose of this meeting is to ratify the April nominations. At the meeting Just closed at Springfield notice waB served on Sen­ ator La Follette by the Republican editors of Illinois (bat he must look elsewhere than to Illinois for encour­ agement in his campaign for the preaidor.cy. By unanimous vote the Republican Editorial association of Illinois "un­ qualifiedly approved" the candidacy of President Taft for re-election and directed President Snively to advise the president forthwith of this ac­ tion. To emphasize the indorsement given Mr. Taft no other name was men­ tioned in the brief resolutions adopted by the organization in its one^hour session. The administration of Gov­ ernor Deneen was indorsed without the mention of his name, and here the matter of personal approval ended. Although demanding adherence to both the letter and spirit of the di­ rect primary law so long aB it is upon the statute books, the association de­ nounced the law as advantageous to tbe rich man, a burden on the people and a destroyer of party unity. The association recommended a return to the old system of convention nomina­ tions for ail above county officers. The initiative, referendum and re­ call were denounced as Socialistic, and the resolutions closed with a con­ demnation of the metropolitan press, which brought a protest from several members, but Anally was adopted. The only protest against the adop­ tion of the resolutions as presented by the resolut'ons committee was on the condemnation of the metropolitan press. H. U. Bailey of the Princeton Republican and H. C. Kesslnger of Litchfield raised objections, but neith­ er offered an amendment and the res­ olutions finally were adopted without change. Top Notch Club interests Many. A possible increase ln^ the yield of corn that will add more than $200,- 000,000 to the yearly value of this one crop has stimulated interest in the Top Notch Farmers club of Illi­ nois and made it probable the mem­ bership will be increased to at least 1,000 the coming year. The aim of the Top Notch organi­ zation is to make yields of 100 bushels of corn an acre a common Instead of an unusual report in the home of the king of cereals. The average yield as shown by the latest federal statis­ tics is about 40 bnshefs an acre. Should the object of the Top Notch farmers be attained the value of the Illinois corn crop will be more than doubled. It is possible to raise 100 bushels of corn an acre with but little more- expense than an average crop of 40 bushels. The work of this organization of premier farmers has shown that fact beyond dispute. Many Top Notch members have produced nearly 200 bushels from a single acre by follow­ ing scientific methods of tillage, seed selection and proper conservation of soil fertility. It is not alone in increased yields of corn the Top Notch farmers hope ganizatlon admits to membership those who produce 50 or more bushels of wheat per acre or 100 or more bushels of oats. NEWS NUGGETS FROM ILLINOIS Lincoln Woman's Fame. Illinois stockmen were represented in all of the cattle classes at the In­ ternational Live Stock exhibition which opened at Chicago, and among the exhibitors from this state was Mrs. I. M. Jamison of Lincoln, 111., who competed for the championship in the shorthorn classes and also hopes to have a candidate in the event from which J. J. Cridlan of Lon­ don, England, the noted foreign authority who is to act as chief judge, will select the grand champion o the exposition. Mrs. Johnson is the only woman In the United States who, has success­ fully raised cattle which have Won blue ribbons at state fairs and live stock shows. $175,000 for State's Game. With an estimated revenue of 1150,- 000 to $175,000 from the sale of hunt­ ers' licenses in Illinois, it has become a problem what to do with the money. Dr. John A. Wheeler, state game com­ missioner, proposes to utilize a por­ tion of this fund for the acquirement of tracts of land at various points In the state for game preserves. He is now engaged in leasing land for this purpose and will doubtless secure oth­ er tracts later. He has leased a tract of 10,000 acres in Crawfbrd county and will endeavor to secure possession of similar sections elsewhere. It Is desifred to lease wooded estates which will supply ample cover for birds and small game. By periodical additions to the game birds from the state propogation farm at Auburn it is hoped to vastly Increase the number of the feathered tribe in this state and greatly Improve the hunting. Doctor Wheeler thinks that at least ten tracts of 10,000 acres each should be secured, scattered over the state. These tracts will be placed under the control of wardens, who will bar all shooting within the limits of the preserves. Ac­ quirement of these sections will great­ ly diminish the surplus In the treas­ ury. In Interest of Institutes. A conference in the Interest of the Methodist educational institutions in the bounds of the Illinois and Central conferences was held at the Uni­ versity at Evanston. Bishop W. F. McDowell of Chicago and A. W. Har­ ris, president of the Northwestern University at Evanston. were the prin­ cipal speakers. Thfey talked on vari­ ous phases of the educational ques­ tion. The institutions within the Illinois and Central Illinois conferences are: Illinois We6leyan College at Bloom- Ington, Illinois Woman's College at Jacksonville, Hedding College at Ab­ ingdon, Chaddock Boys' school at Quincy, Grand Prairie Seminary at Onarga, and the M. E. students at the University at Illinois. Nearly 200 laymen and ministers from all parts of Central Illinois were present at the conference.

A local association will be formed by Thomas K. Sigler, representative of the na­ tional association. The crusade to b& started In the capital will be followed by similar plans of warfare In the otb er principal cities of the state. Dean of Illinois Praises Athletes. Prof Thomas Arkle Clark, dean of men at the University of Illinois, has been investigating the scholarship of football players, fraternity men and other leaders in student life. In a digest of his Investigation, just made public, the dean undertakes to dis­ prove certain popular fallacies. The athlete, he says, is not necessarily an intellecutal mediocrity; he ranks with the average college student and often does more satisfactory work during the training season than at other times. Membership In fraternities does not involve loafing. As a group the fra­ ternity men stand well in their stud­ ies. Fraternities have been criticised because of a few conspicuous shirkers, such as escape notice among the un­ classified student body. Women, In spite of their higher grades, are not keener or more capable than men. They are allowed greater latitude IP ! the choice of studies; that is all. The only form of college Activity that means absolute waste Is "fussing" Both the athlete and the fraternity men suffer from their conspicuous po­ sition, Bays the dean. Mattoon.--Two women are dead, a third is dying, and three chil­ dren were hurt as the result of an explosion of acetylene gas, which destroyed the home of J. M. Henton, a farmer.

Mrs. Elinore Peyton, wasi ill he and an­ other boy slipped past a guard, who pursued them in vain. The boy said he left the home because he feared that his mother was dying. OYNAM]TE_DEAIHS James B. Confesses He Blew Up Times Plant. CAUSES SENSATION IN COURT dohn J. Says' He la Guilty of Blowing Up Iron Works--Sentence of Defendants Set for December 5. Los Angeles, Cal.--James B. Mo Namara pleaded guilty to a charge of murder preferred against him in con­ nection with the dynamiting of the Times building. At the same time his brother, John J. McNamara, entered a plea of guilty to a charge of blowing up the Llewel­ lyn Iron works. The pleas ended the apparently hopeless task which state and de­ fense had been engaged in of drawing | a jury to hear the evidence in the cases. Confession* a Surprise. The confessions came like a bomb­ shell. It had been rumored that a sensation was brewing, but no one J was prepared for what happened. When court convened District At- I torney Frederick's read the indict- I ments and the court asked James B. | McNamara if be wfthdrew his plea j of not guilty. He said that he did. | Asked whether he wanted to plead I guilty to the murder as charged in : the indictment, the prisoner said: j "I do, your honor." | McNamara then sank back In his ' chair, while the entire courtroom be- | came as silent as a tomb. j "Then I will sentence J. B. McNa- I mara on his plea of guilty at two o'clock on Tuesday, December 6," said Judge Bordwell. John J. Also Preads Qullty. District Attorney Fredericks then rose with a big bunch of papers In his hand. "John J. McNamara, stand up," he said. "You have previously pleaded not guilty to a charge of placing dynamite under the Llewellyn Iron works. Do you want to withdraw that plea?" "I do, sir," said the labor leader. "Now do you plead guilty to the In­ dictment?" "1 do, sir," said McNamara. He. too, sank lifelessly into his scit and Judge Bordwell announced that he would sentence him at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. In his confession to the charge against bim, James McNamara said: "1 put dynamite under the Los An­ geles Times, and it must have hit a gas main, because the terrible explo­ sion which followed scared me more than it did anyone else. "1 was the most surprised man that ever lived, as I had not expected any great damage would be done." The confessions have ended a strug- | gle lor the selection of a Jury that is j almost without a precedent in the an> nals of criminal courts in America. Reason for Confession Withheld. Although they gave out a number of interviews, District Attorney Fred­ ericks and his assistants refused to give any specific reason for the terminatiou of the trial. They asserted that the cauee v^as merely the fact that the evidence against the McNa* mar as was overwhelming and that an agreement had been reached. Asked specifically whether any bar­ gain has been made with the district attorney before the pleas were en­ tered, Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for the defense, said he preferred not to answer tbe question. "Any statement of what the district attorney will do should come from bis office," Darrow added. "There Is nothing more than the fact that we were up against it. We hat to act as we did. There was no way out. There was no last Atraw in the case. We were just up against it and had to do the best we could and we acted to save the llyeit of our clients." Franklin's Case to Be Pushed. A significant thing about the case is the fact that the trial charges against Bert H. Franklin, the man accused of having bribed a venireman drawn for Jury service in the case, is to be pushed. It was specially Btated at the district attorney's office that this case was not to be dropped, hut that in­ stead, it would be prosecuted to the limit. Additional evidence, it was as­ serted, had been discovered and that this new evidence involve* people who have nq$. yet been dragged into the caBe. It wad not determined, however, whether this matter would be pressed and whether others connected with the alleged bribery might be involved. The defense is prepared to fight stubbornly for Franklin. It was defi­ nitely learned that no plan fur plead­ ing guilty in his case had been dis­ cussed. USED HYPODERMICS. Only Relief from Terrible 8uftorln§. Thomas E. Vest, 1506 So. 12th St, Terre Haute, Ind., says: "I had no control over the urine and the pain ^ i g was so great, I often screamed. I grew worse and lay in bed for weeks, the only relief coming from hypodermics. I was treated by three phy­ sicians without help and the last one said an operation was necessary. I there­ upon began using Doan's Kidney Pills and passed a gravel Btone as large as s pea. The next dqy I passed two more and from then on improved rap­ idly until cured."

CUTICURA OINTMENT HEALED BAD SORE ON LIMB "Some time ago I was coming up some steps when the board crushed under me like an egg shell, and my right limb went through to the knee, and scraped he flesh off the bone just inside and below the knee. I neglected it for a day or two. then It began to hurt me pretty badly. I put balsam fir on to draw out the poison, but when I had use*! it a week, it hurt so badly that I changed to oint­ ment. That made it smart and burn so badly that 1 couldn't use it any more, and that was the fourth week after I was hurt. "Then I began to use Cutlcura Oint­ ment for the tore. It stopped hurting immediately and began healing right away. It was a bad-looking Bore be­ fore Cuticura Ointment heaied it, and I Buffered bo I couldn't sleep from two days after I fell until I began uaing Cuticura Ointment. "Cuticura Soap is the best soap I ever saw. I have used all kinds of soap for washing my face, and always It would leave my face Bmartlng. I had to keep a lotion to stop the smart, no matter how expensive a soap I used. I And at last in Cuticura Soap a soap that will clean my face and leave no smarting, and I do not have to use any lotion or anything else to ease It. I believe Cuticura Soap is tho best eoap made."
