We have never cared much tor a mystery and so It was with a meas- ure of satisfaction that we found our- selves possessed of a knowledge of the real motive which prompted the con- gressman from the Tenth to honor us w ith a visit. We are too likely, per- haps, to look upon the "dropping in" of an unexpected guest to be an evl- dfctc© of his desire to see us on busi- ness or in a social way. It is, there- fore, enlightening to toe assured with all the indubitableness of "black on vjfcite," that the call of Representa- tive Thomson was elmply a perfor- mance of a duty imposed upon him by thft office he lias been elected to hold. * & Ik SUFFRAGE LEADERS IN CLOSE SESSION Interest Centers in Selection of Officers at Peoria This Week.

The fact that the judge lives in Peoria and is held in high esteem by some of the leading business men of the town added color to the charge ' that he was a "wet" and an "anti." He had been on the bench for nearly a quarter of a century, and the dis- trict was overwhelmingly Republican, so, following the precepts of his neigh- bor, Uncle Job, the candidate "stood pat." What happened to the great Dan- ville standpatter happened to the judge from Distillersville. The over- whelmingly Republican district flopped to Democracy.

Opposing her probably will be Mrs. Ella S. Stewart, a former president of the as- sociation. Both have been prominent for several years in working for the equal suffrage bill in Illinois. Mrs. Trout was active and also takes much pride in pointing to the fact that she is responsible for the splendid condi- tion of the finances of the state as- sociation effected during her regime.

"THE BARRIER' difficult to gratify, however. In a public institution, attendance in which is compulsory, composed of the individuals of the many varying na- tionalities which are to. be seen in gresslves that demoralized the Repub- p lican ranks and made a Democratic victor; possible. The State Supreme Court Is to pass upon the validity of . the Illinois Woman Suffrage Act, and the suffragists didn't care to trust their fortunes with an evader." To one predisposed to sanction whatever is done in the name of Pro- gressivlsm, there is truth in the view set forth by the magazine quoted. To afford an entirely different aspect to the situation there is need for but the faint sidelight thrown by the fact that Judge Craio, the Democrat who defeated both the Progressive and the Republican candidates because of the activity of the women politicians, is avowedly opposed to the enfranchise- ment of women while Judge Puteb- u.tuGH simply declined to commit himself to,the support of equal suf- frage. * * * WHERE DUTY JUMPED A.LONE. A few days ago, a visitor walked *nto the office of the editor Njf Tins News, bearing in his hand a card with a printed inscription on its face. An active realization of the, irrepar- able loss which the dumb sustain, we f.Mt it due the afflicted one to read his jifplea to the public. Glancing at the bit Of pasteboard we found there, not s;. - " ' â-  an application for financial aid, tbese woids^l:-; manifestly impossible and unfair to give instruction of a religious nature which Is contrary to the convictions held through many generations. As literature, the Bible should by all means be taught in the public schools, Just as are the masterpieces of the Greek and Roman literature. As doc- trine aid a means of promulgating Protestant Christianity, such instruc- tion is contrary to the fundamental principles upon which America stands. ,* m * APPLJSB AND HOR8E8. Perhaps you may have missed the fact that "apple day" was observed re- cently in Chicago, the recipients of the ruddy fruit being the equine popula- tion of the city. It sounds childish, doesn't it? But apple day for the horses received the approbation of the Anti-Cruelty society as a means of calling attention to the horse "as a valuable and useful member of the community." Much criticism has been the reward of this charitable procedure on the part of-theâ€"anti-cruelty representa- tives by persons who contend that the apples should' have been given to the children of the poor. There seems to be, however, nothing to prevent the owner of an apple from giving it to a poor child. Such an one le not hard to find, for verily, the poor we have with us always. We do hot believe that the giving of a single tipple to a city horse has in any way deprived a child of that luxury. There would probably have been no apple day bad it not been for the little ele- ment of the spectacular in giving to the dumb creature who hauls our burdens. .-;.• . *' * m - "â- "â- 'â- â-  â- â- "â-  In Judge Mabonet's "sunrise court" Sunday morning a certain offender against the law and order of Chicago was advised, according "to newspaper report, which we know may not be entirely true to facts, "to get married instead of spending bis money on drink" and was released, we hope, not to follow out the direction of his Judge in its entirety. If ft were true that matrimony has ever proved to be a but! substitute for the drink habit, the ad- | vice of Judge Mahonkt had not been divided within.

"Little Mother" Baby Tender To relieve the mother of much care and worry; to give her more time for household duties; to conserve her strength; to provide tranquility for her leisure hoursâ€"Is the pur- pose of the "Little Mother" Baby Tender. It is the v«ry best mechanical tender ever devised because it not only permits of the greatest variety of exercises for the entertain- ment and development of the infant, but in* eludes also provision for rest In" a reclining position. This is very important and an exclu- sive feature of the invention. The "Little Mother'! Baby Tender is flexihlv put together and responds automatically to every movement of the little one's body. Babykins will soon learn to brace his little feet against the rubber-covered foot-rest, throw his head back: on the padded head-rest, assume the reclining position and sway in his nest like a bird in the bough of a tree. He can't fall out, or get out, or hurt himself in any way. • Priced Bracket 50c T TRADE MARX Trass Brace BED SPRING Its smooth, galvanized ntst-proof slats are easily cleaned; it has a 6-inrli elevation, producing the much sought after box spring effect, atid it is absolutely noiseless PRICE, IN ALL SIZES, $6.00 I SANITARY 8TEEL COUCHES, drop sides, angle Iron feet Price |5.00.
