Respectfully, E. J. I DAVIDSON, THE WHITE FRONT EUREKA, ILLINOIS FOSTER DEFEATS JUDGE A. C. FORT One of the most hotly contested primary elections ever held in Woodford county was the one last Tuesday- -not so many contests on the county ticket- only two on the Republican ticket and one that developed on the Democratic ticket by the writing, in of a name for county clerk.

But the two Republican contests were real ones and the only regrettable feature was the resorting to the underhanded method of anonymous literature to influence voters, and even though it proved successful in the nomination of Mr. Lampe, he, as winner, should repudiate it as forcefully us he possibly can, if, as reported, he denies all knowledge of same. Mr. Foster, the winner for County Judge, made a dignified, clean campaign, which appealed, forcefully to the voters of the county, to such an extent that he carried twelve out of the seventeen townships, by majorities ranging from 1 to 408. Peculiarly gratifying to Mr.

Foster and his friends is the exceedingly large vote of confidence bestowed on him by his home township. Here, where a lot of the propaganda (without an iota of foundation for truth) that was used against him originated and was kept heated up for peddling by a few disgruntled ones, the almost unanimous vote given Mr. Foster is a great source of satisfaction and caused a deep impression. Out of about 520 Republican votes cast in Olio township Foster was given 462, while his opponent received only 54. In Minonk township Mr.

Foster received 188 votes, another gratifying feature. The element here that helped spread the propaganda against Mr. Tegard was unable to deliver Olio township to his opponent, the vote here standing Tegard 293, Lampe 196. The following is the vote by townships on the contests for County Judge and County Treasurer on the Republican ticket: Minonk Township Fort 535 Foster 188 Fort's majority 347 Lampe 498 Tegard 183 Tegard 2 Lampe's 47 Tegard 183 Lampe's '310 Clayton Township Fort 100 Foster 74 Fort's majority 26 Lampe 148 Tegard 35.

The statement was gravely made that the young man had never touched a drop of liquor before prohibition came, but had not been sober since, and this case was convincing evidence to the metropolitan editors that prohibition was a failure and that the aighteenth: amendment should be repealed at once.

Such is the regular form of reasoning in daily newspaper offices. Quite occasionally, however, actual evidence on the other side of the question filters through to the readers of the daily papers. For instance, Evangeline Booth, Commander of the Salvation Army in the United States, has issued a statement declaring that since the enactment of the Volstead act drunkenness among the poor has almost entirely disappeared. The announcement she said, was based on facts reported by secretaries of the Salvation Army in all parts of the country to whom she sent a questionaire regarding their observations in Salvation Army's headquarters, shelters and hotels. "Our social secretaries replied that cases of drunkenness are now the exception among the men who frequent our hostleries, shelters and industrial homes, the announcement said.

"More than two million beds were supplied by the Salvation Army last year, and it is on these two million cases that our secretaries base their answers. In one hostlery it was reported that 120 men who had never been known to keep a dollar more than twenty-four hours now have banking accounts of considerable size. In another hotel twenty-five men of the sort who before prohibition could not keep a dime now have deposits ranging from $100 to. $500. These are unusually bright instances, but everywhere the workers of the Salvation Army have found a marked increase in thrift and prosperity and a decrease in drunkenness.

"In refutation of the charge that drunkenness has increased since prohibition. Commander Booth cites the fact that the Salvation Army's annual 'Boozers' when drunken men. and women were collected from the streets, fed, clothed, and prayed with, has been abandoned and the day given over to entertaining the newsboys and poor youngsters of the city. "Because prohibition has cleared our park benches of drunkards, we are able to entertain, 5,000 boys under 14 years old in New York City on this day, these boys being benefited because one of the greatest curses of humanity has been placed beyond the reach of men and women.

Thou didst leave this earth at a ripe and useful age. This only can the sadness of our To hehearts bear our grief in part, assuage. That while on earth no guile was in thy loving heart. No more on earth we'll see thy smiling face Each day as duty calls us by thy earthly place, 'Twas but the house of clay Which to the grave we bore. Thy precious soul still lives to dwell with Christ forevermore.

And thy dear ones in their weakness When they've run their earthly race, May they share with thee thy glory And greet thee face to face. A. V. F. EASTER AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH Easter will be a joyous day at the Christian church.

He was up in a tree doing some trimming, when a limb gave way and fell on him, knocking him out of the tree to the ground, about 20 feet.

Whether he fell on another limb or what is not known, but in the fall his right leg was broken between the knee and thigh, and he will be laid up for several weeks, much to the regret of his many friends.
