Springfield.--Trustees find princi pals of the five normal schools of Illi nois gathered in conference for the first time in a meeting held in Spring- field. Mrs. Ella Flagg Toung, superintend ent of the Chicago schools, was one of the chief speakers. Her address on "Ethical and Moral Training," was listened to with deep interest by the educational workers. Questions of common importance to all the school were discussed. "The Desirability of Uniformity in Normal Schools," was the subject of i an address by President David Felm- ley of the State Normal university. President D. G. Parkinson of the Southern Illinois Normal school at Carbondale, was also * speaker. His subject was "Co-Operation in Legis lative Askings." President L. C. Lord of the Eastern Illinois Normal school at Charlestown, spoke on the subject, "The Selection of a Faculty." J. G. McGilvery, president of the Western Illinois Normal school at Macomb, talkfd on the subject, "Nor mal School Extension." Declare Inspection of Grain a Sham. The Receivers' association of the Chicago board of trade is much dis satisfied with the present system of grain inspection &s practiced by the Illinois Grain Inspection department. The board has voiced its dissatisfac tion by resolutlng to the extent of seven whereases and six resolutions. Copies of the resolutions are to be sent to Governor Deneen, the direc tors of the Chicago board of trade, the members of the railroad and warehouse commission, and W. Scott Cowen, chief inspector of the Illinois state grain inspection department By indictment of the whereases it is emphatically charged that grain In spected by the Illinois department is not tested at all, but its grade is merely guessed at. It is charged that the moisture content of ' grain and particularly corn, is not determined by test, that the system of inspection is low in efficiency, which fact is evidenced by the tremendous amount of corn on which re-inspection Is de manded, and the allowances which are made on cars improperly graded. It is charged that the system of in spection Is vicious and the so-called moisture test is used for the sole purpose of beating down the grades of corn coming to market from coun try shippers. It is declared that this practice has resulted in enormous losses to the patrons of the Chicago market and has been the means of diverting thousands of cars to com peting markets. The resolutions demand that the moisture content of each car of corn inspected be determined before estab lishing the grade of the car, or if this is not done the moisture test be dropped as a determining qualifica tion. The board of trade is asked to secure legal opinions as to the liabil ity of the inspection department for errors in gi-ade. This is an implied threat of legal action for damages/ Orga Hz* for Better State Roads. A state wide movement for im proved highways in Illinois resulted from the gathering of 300 good roads enthusiasts from all parts of the state who attended a meeting at the Hotel Sherman, Chicago. An organization called the Illinois Highway Improve- men association was formed for the purpose of bringing abbut the enact ment of legislation favorable to good roads. The following officers were elected: President--W. G. Ed ens, Chicago. Firat Vice President--S. E. Bradt, DeKalb. Second Vice President--C. A. Kiler, Champaign. Third Vice President--C. G.

V The year 1911 was 1»y far !«• moat important as regards the work of the Illinois civil service com mission since Its organization, says the sixth annual report issued. The amendments to the act, made by the legislature of 1911, placed under the jurisdiction of the commission about 2,700 additional employes, bringing the total to about 80 per cent, of the state service and greatly increasing in amount and importance the work of the commission. Without the ac tive interest and intelligent support of Governor Deneen this important step could never have been accomplished, says the report. "The new positions brought under the law are of a character wherein the constructive benefits of an intelli gent administration of the law should show the greatest results," the com missioners assert. "A civil service law is not self-executing and Its bene ficial results depend on the intelli gence and faithfulness of those on whom rests the responsibility of its administration. On the other hand, however faithful and untiring a com mission may be in choosing proper ex aminers and proper selective meth ods. if through too low compensation or because of the character of the work positions do not attract the best applicants, the commission cannot fur nish them. "For the reason that the new serv ice contains such a greater per cent, of positions that are attractive to the public, the commission will be en abled to supply the state with a high er grade of employes. Moreover, so many positions iff the new service in volve technical, and if not technical, at least very exacting, requirements, that civil service methods of selec tion 6hould soon demonstrate their great worth in the new material sent into the service. "One hundred and two separate pay rolls pass through the office of the commission. For December, 1911, these pay rolls contained the names of 4,477 civil service employes and of 144 exempt employes, with salaries aggregating $246,810.81. "One rigid rule deals with the po litlcal activity permitted to a state employe. Some employes and polit ical leaders contend that the commis sion is attempting to deprive employes of the classified service of their con stitutional right to take part in po litical affairs and to be the choice of the electorate for elective positions The position of the commission ft that it is not depriving any one of the right to take an official part in political management or of any right to be a candidate for a public office- It does, however, claim authority to make rules affecting the conduct of any employe in the clasrlfiftd service that makes the administration of A civil service law difficult. "It Is the oplnic»xi of the commis sion, based upon experience, that po litical activity rm the part of employes in the classiAod service, tends, at least under present conditions, to de moralize the service and make the administration of the law exceedingly difficult. If, therefore, such activity on the part of any employe producer this result, he should not expect that his personal desire to take official part in party management or to run for office should be gratified at the expense of the service. The rule of the commission does not prevent him from doing either--it only says that if he desires to do so the greater good of the service requires him to leave." Seventeen More Quit Race. Seventeen candidates who filed pe titions for placement on the primary ballots to be voted upon in the April 9 primary election have withdrawn. It is expected that many more will he filed. Following are the withdrawals re ceived. Candidates for congress: Distriil Five, Louis H. Ruska (R.). Candidates for board of equalize tion: District Five, Frank A. SevclX (R.); Eight, Jshn J.

The constitutionality of the Illinois law prohibiting the drinking of in toxicants upon trains except in buffet cars is to be tested in an appeal filed at Belleville. The test is in the case of Mrs. Annabelle Tarantina of Ash ley. 111. Mrs. Tarantina sued the Louisville & Nashville railroad for $5,000 dam ages because a conductor tried to pu< her off a train one day ta6t fall, when he saw her with a bottle at liquor. Orchard Heating Investigations. Professors Ruth and Fogelsong of the department of horticulture, Uni versity of Illinois, came to Spring field and conferred with 8ection Di rector Root of the weather bureau in regard to records and instruments to be used in the orchard heating Inves tigations to he carried on this spring. Experiments will be carried on in the orchards at Anna, Flora and at some point In western Illinois. A university instructor will be In charge at each place. Snow Records Were Brofctn. The month of February, 1912, la Q linois was one remarkable for the great fall of snow. Records were broken at about half the weather sta tions in the state, according to the report of Section Director ClarencS Root. At GreenvKI®, Bond county, the total fall oT snow during the month of 23Vi Inches, not only broke the records for any month of the year, but .'t exceeded the combined amounts recorded in any two consecu tive months during the twenty-five years that records have been kept. FORGET OLD DAYS Must Taft and Roosevelt if They Do Kind of Fighting That's in Them. LIKE DAMON AND PYTHIAS Ties of Affection Broken by Colonel** Candidacy Net Equalled by Any Who Have Served for Friend* •hip's Comparison. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.--"If William H. Taft and Theodore Roosevelt are to do the kind of fighting for the next three months that it Is in them to do they must keep their minds off the old days." It was the politician-legislator who has known both men intimately from the day when they began their Washington life, who said this. President Taft did not believe until six o'clock Sunday, February 26, that Theodore Roosevelt was to declare himself, even in effect, an active can didate for the nomination. He hung on after other men had let go their hold to a faith that something la friendship would keep the colonel from laying the definite word which would put him into the field as a rival of the man who as secretary of war sustained him in executive endeavor. Mr. Roosevelt's friends say that Mr. Taft broke the bonds of friendship when he departed* three years ago from the promised path. The blame Is thrown one way by some men and an other way by others, but wherever it belongs the friendship seemingly has gone, though it may be, as Mr. Taft is reported to have said recently to one of his friends, that one day after the troubles time when retirement comes, it will return. Damon and Pythias, David and Jo nathan, Aeneas and Fidus Achates and all the rest who have served so faithfully 4for friendship's compari sons must pass when the once exist ing affection of Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft for each other is considered. The Ranking Officer. There Is a Washington newspaper story to the effect that the society editor of a local journal went to the White House one morning when Mr. Roosevelt was president to get some information on precedence and while there he asked some one who the ranking officer of the cabinet was. The president .overheard the question and turning said: "The secretary of war." So he was to Theodore Roose- velt. Many things showing the affection between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft are brought to mind today by the breach between two men who once came as near to being one as human circumstances would admit. One night In December, 1907, two or three months before Mr. Taft became an announced candidate for the nomina tion, President Roosevelt, talking to some friends in the White House, said that the country was calling certain legislative policies "the Roosevelt policies." Then he said that he did not know whether they were Roose velt policies or Taft policies. His un certainty as to the proper name was due, he said, to the fact that long be fore he had any thought that one day he might be president of the United States he was thinking along lines of what be considered to be proper pub lic policies, and wondering If ever they might be given legislative effect. While wondering he found out that another man was thinking along the same lines and also wondering if his thoughts might one day take the form of legislation. The other man, Mr. Roosevelt said, was William H. Taft. As the story came from Mr. Roose velt, he entered into a correspondence with Mr. Taft, exchanged views and opinions and found that they ware identical. 8tory Pleased Taft. It was only a few weeks ago that President Taft was told this story of the words of the man whom even thep it was expected might be his rival in the 1912 field. He liked the story and said it was good to hear it. Before the country knew generally that Mr. Roosevelt hoped that bis secretary of war could be induced to become a candidate for the presidency a visitor at the White House asked him what progressive Republicans were to do on election day the fol lowing November provided the party insisted on nominating a reactionary. The president said that he hoped it would not be necessary for anybody "to go fishing"; that If the party should nominate as be hoped It would, Wtlllaia H. Taft, It would have a progressive candidate and If he was elected the country would have a pro gressive president. Then he added that his associations with Mr. Taft and bis close friendship with him made him know Just how be felt about real progressive legislation and Just what he would do to further Its causa' If ever be became president. Inadequacy of Language. There are gaps in every language, declares a writer in the Atlantic. To be bun, we may boast that our own EngliBh Is fairly complete, that Us stock of terms, phrases, and idioms Is large enough to cover almost every conceivable thought, concept, or sit uation in the experience of life; yet unto him who is capable of detecting the subtler flavors and aromas of life's occasion, and who observes things with a deeper sympathy, there Is fre quently revealed the inadequacy of our language, in thoughts that are as yet unworded, and in situations that have thus far gone unlabeled. 8uch a man can testify that there are gaps even in the king's English. Hard Luck. "Ah!" sighed the '-*ng-ha!red passen ger, "how little we know of the future and' what It has In store for us!" "That's right," rejoined the man In the seat opposite. "Little did ! think 80 years ago. when 1 carved my ini tials on the rude desk In the country scfeoolhouse, that I should some day grow up and fall to become famous." % There art a few Washington belle** era of a story somewhat widely told that Mr. Roosevelt broke with Mr. Taft before Inauguration day, 1909. U Is pretty well known that the prede cessor watched with some misgivings the successor's cabinet making en deavors, but it Is to be doubted if Mr. Roosevelt said, as be is reported to have said, "A cabinet Uke mine does not seem to be good enough for him and It may be that in a few weeks policies Uke mine will not be good enough for him." Want a Third Port. The refusal of the house of repre sentatives to incorporate in the fortification bill the appropriation Of $150,000 for a site for a coast defense on Cape Henry was a sharp disappointment to most of the good Virginians In the house, to a good many army officers and unques tionably to the entire population of the tide-water section of the Old Do minion. Fort Monroe today has the safety of several American cities in Its keep ing. It is the outpost defense of Washington and Baltimore, and with Fort Wool it stands as a sentinel keeping watch over Norfolk and Rich mond. The army men and the Vir ginians think that a third sentinel should be posted, but congressmen have taken issue with them. Across the mingling waters of Chesapeake bay and the ocean lies Cape Charles, whose rough coast is visible on clear days to the gunners on Monroe's par apets, but if what has been said by supposed experts Is true, no projectile which the big guns of the fort can hurl ever is likely to prove effective against battleships 6teaming into the channel close under the Charles pro montory to make the run up the wa ters leading to the capital. The forts at Cape Henry southward acroas the entrance .to the inland wa ters, army men seem to think, would nearly perfect the system of defense, but the proposal for a Cape Henry fortification is only one of several plans which have been made from time to time to complete the defenses of the harbor, bay and river. Hints at Selfish Interest. There was « plan first to build a fort on Cape Charles itself, but later this was changed in favor of a plan to plant big guns on a half submerged Island midway of the entrance to the Chesapeake. This plan was consid ered by congress several years ago, and there were hints that some selfish Interests were connected with It, but no one ever made a direct charge, and there never was any proof advanced of what ware but whispered .insinua tions. It seems to be the. full belief of many army officers that one day an ad ditional fortification In the vicinity of the Virginia capes will be author ised by congress. As things are now it Is said that % foreign fleet with a pilot deserving the name on board the leading ship, cquld slip Into the Chesapeake under cover of a hase while the shore artillerymen, no mat ter how watchful, would know nothing of the movement until there was no target to fire at, but the broad wakes of the invading vessels. Fort Monroe Is said to be a bul wark of defense in Itself, but it seems even to the layman that the picture drawn by some of the congressmen of a capital laid waste by the guns of a foreign fleet, or by troops which had secured a landing back of the present fortifications, is drawn with a free hand guided by a freer imagination. If vessels should succeed in getting by Fort Monroe they would have a hard time getting up the Potomac river, for below Washington the Potomac's channel is safe guarded. Make an Easy Target. Pictures also have been drawn of the demolition of Richmond and Nor- folk by hostile gunB. It would seem that the Virginia capital and its sea port might be able to rest In confi dence that no foe can come up the wa ter to their troubling. The main ship channel at the mouth of the James is within easy great gun range of the parapets of Fort Monroe, and the gun ner who could not hit so fair and con fronting a mark as a battleship or a cruiser at double the distance would be discredited after one pushing of the electric button, and his place would be taken Instantly by a man able to drive every projectile home-- for the army Is not worthless, there are many such men In the artillery ranks. If the marksmen at Fort Monroe should happen to fall in their gunning there is perhaps little chance that their brother a"tillerymen at Fort Wocl would fall in theirs, for the en emy that would attempt to force a passage of the James would almost brush the muzzles of the smaller fort's guns. Artillerymen have occasional chances to test their skill. A govern ment tug tows red triangular pyra mids made of cloth stretched on a framework of wood across the line of fire, while the men at the big rifles peg away at the targets drawn through the lire sone at a ten knot gait. In order to make a hit it is not necessary "to hit," for if it is found that the shot has made itself "effective" in space fore and aft of the target, not greater than that which would have been covered by the battleship, a hit 1b credited. Fortune Awaits Inventor. There Is a fortune of many millions in store for the man who can discover a substitute for leather. The price of the real article is steadily rising, deal ers say, and the reason is that in spite of the duty removed the growth of the world's population is faster than the increase in the number of cattle raised. "There Is a growing disproportion between the number of hides mar keted and the demand for leather," said an expert, "The question is where the future supply will come from In quantities sufficient to meet the coun- try's future needs. If some genius will only find a substitute for leather hell be a wealthy man In a day."
