THE ROCK ISLAND ARGUS. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 8, 1912. SEARLE MUST SAY VVHATHEIS INTHE CONGRESS RAGE Filing of Nomination Papers Show He It on Both Party Ticket!. LAW ON SUBJECT IS PLAIN Compelled to Declare Whether He Is a Republican or a Bull Moose. THIS IS THE TICKET TO VOTE FOR (Special to The Argus.) Springfield, 111., Oct. 8 The records of nominations in Illinois, it has been discovered, show a somewhat remark- able situation as r?ards the candidacy of Charles J. Searle for congress in the ' Fourteenth or Rock Island district . ' They show what both the republican and progressive (bull moose) parties have certified to the nomination of Searle, despite the fact that he was tiominated by the regular republican I rimaries and that the bull moose par ty declined to act in the matter of a congressional nomination; and, fur thermore, that it is held by Colcnel Roosevelt himself, and his manager. Senator Plxon, that a man cannot erve both the republican and the pro gressive parties at the same time. LAW IS PI.AIV But the filing of the two nominations will result in something more than the ideas or theories of party leaders. Un der the law. Mr. Searle must declare hlms' lf. The statutes provide that of ficial notice of the two nominations must be given him, whereupon he must Ictt which nomination he proposes to accrpt. So It Is up to Mr. Searle at last to say whether he is a republican or a bull moose. There Is talk of mandamus proceed ings on his part to compel the secre tary of state to place his name on both ballots, but the law does not admit of suh rt course. It is very clear on the subject.

Kill anything else and there Is a substitute. The potato is akin to the cereals; squash and cab bage and turnips ami cauliflower are of the snnie fumlly; leao are elongat ed peas; the lemon Is a pcttsinitatic orange, beef relucnrtiHted gram, water melons Just the survivor of a very flt cucumber, and so on. Rut the onion is sul ge Deris. a!one, unique, trlumphnnt It Is a special crwitlnn to tempt the pnlate of a weary world. The onion proves the futility of man's wlwlnra. He might bfive guessed at everything else under the sun. but he would have never guessed ac onion. Science may deduce a new star before It becomes visible or radium before Its discovery, but this succu lent, starry vegetable would have gone onlnvented forever had not Its own In sinuating yet not bashful qualities forced themselves Into tear brimmed eyes and liquescent anticipatory lips. With what a ruiitnre of gratitude and awe should we view the spectacle of nature turning her energies to the transmuting of mere clay Into a ren table with an artistic temperament!

FIave we ever stopped tn think how our ancestors two or three generations back lived and flourished with little or no ventilation In their sleeping apart nients? The night air used to be con sidered a very dreadful menace to health aud a sure Inducer of colds. Bedrooms were kept closely shut and yet our ancestors, many of tbi'tii. were hardier than we and lived to good old ages. Animals burrow In their holes at night breathing the same air over and over again, while birds and fowls tuck their beads under their wings. Of course ventilation is absolutely nec essary for proper comfort, cleanliness and health, but people have lived on little or none of It for hundreds and thousands of years. Exchange.
