Chicago, ni.. May 2. The Illinois
democratic organisation started out
yterday on an announced "general
cleanup" at Uie November elections.
With all factions represented at the
meeting of the state committee held at
the Hotel Sherman, the determination
tii reached to formulate a general
"harmony" program, the purpose te
ing to elect a democrat United States
senator, control, through a democratic
caucus, the next Illinois legislature,
sad to return to Washington as many
democrats as possible.
All elements agreed upon resolu
tions strongly Indorsing President Wil
son, and the national administration,
canal tolls. Mexico, tariff, currency,
sad everything else. Then they adopt
ed resolutions of appreciation and In
dorsement for the administration st
Springfield of Governor Dunne and the
democratic state officers.
To Avoid Primary Fight.
The state leaders affirmed that the
day's work paves the way for s gen
eral harmony arrangement, which
would tend to stop all factional differ
ences in plenty of time to prevent s
blood curdling primary fight in Sep
tember. No word came from Governor Dunne
during the day concerning his inten
tions as to the senatorship. A half
dosen state committeemen who are
Dnnne appointees joined with the
avowed Sullivan men in the adoption
of the Wilson-Dunne resolutions. The
trend of go?sip was that a Sullivan
Dunne combination was In process of
consummation, and that the bulk of
the Wilson federal appointees in Illi
nois, either on the job or about to be
commissioned, would agree to a gener
al harmony proposal.
Roger Sullivan, shortly after the ad
journment of the state committee, de
clared his intention of taking the ag

See Peace at Mattoon.
th lieutenants asserted that the
backbone of opposition to his nomlna
lon had been broken by the sudden
termination of the row between Mr.
Sullivan and the new postmaster at
Mattoon, Edward F. Poorman. Mr.
Poorman was In Chicago yesterday
nri viiiited Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Sul
livan's attorneys. It is rumored that
Mr. Poorman's newspaper will retract
completely the editorial upon which
Mr. Sullivan brought a libel suit,
which was to have come up for trial
at Mattoon next Monday. This editor
ial, the Sullivan mangers assert, rorm
ed the basis of the bulk of the anti
Sullivan downstate campaign.
The state committee adopted reso
lutions calling for the nomination of
at least two candidates for the house
of representatives in Springfield from
each senatorial district. The idea is
to insure the nomination of enough
democrats to secure control of the
house by a democratic caucus in the
event of a general democratic victory
in November. The point is that a dem
ocratic conin-essional and senatorial
reapportionment can be made with a
democratic majority in both branches
of the general assembly. The politi
cians asserted, also, that the adminis
tration would work in harmony with
this policy.

" Practicing Forethought.
Forethought looks beyond the obsta.
cle to ultimate results. It reaches out
constructively for a way to get over,
through or around that which binders
the realization of its object
Forethought when exercised develops,
the imagination. The mind accustomed
to thinking ahead soon acquires vision.
This leads to freedom in a higher de
gree. The one who takes no fore
thought Is surprised, cast down, dis
couraged, when anything goes wrong.
Such a one Is enslaved, Imptisoned, as
It were, by a wall of circumstances.
The one accustomed to use forethought
is far less the slave of circumstance.
Such a one learns to look for a way by
which to turn the unpleasant experi
ence into profitable results. He uses
bis iwaginntion to find a way out He
thinks constructively Instead of Just
blindly giving in to fate. He has
learned that by forethought snd imag
ination, by creative, constructive think
In?, he can find new ways to success
when one way is blocked. Nautilus.
Reporters In the Commons.
Shorthand writers first gained access
to the house of commons with some
sort of official acquiescence about 17S6.
In the year 1S03 they are to be found
occupying the back bench in the stran
gers' gallery without interference from
the house officials, although the latter
affected to be ignorant of their pres
ence. Id 1830 the house commenced to
publish the dally division lists Itself
and from that time onward the old
idea that there was something sacred
about the doings of the bouse which
required the prohibition of publicity
was exploded. After the great fire of
1S34 the reporters were admitted as-a
matter of course to the temporary
building used by the commons and
when, on Feb. 3. 1852. the represent
atives of the people took possession of
their new chamber in the palace of
Westminster the press was at last offi
cially recognized and the reporters'
gallery as it at present exists was an
acknowledged fact

Greatest Piano Makers
Favors the Tri Cities
R. M. Brown answers questions.
The entire musical population was startled, astonished and over
joyed at the remarkable announcement of the "Great Factory Clean
Up Sale," at Bowlby's Piano Store in Rock Island.
SEVERAL PECULIAR FEATURES
There are several point3 which make this event of special .
terest.
In the first place, the pianos offered are not cheap ordinary
pianos which are made up in a hurry to be sold on the "Hurrah
Special Sale Plan," "nothing down and a-barrel-of-premiums-thrown-in"
way:
PIANOS Or WORLD WIDE REPUTATION
, But pianos of world-wide reputation, pianos which have the en
thusiastic endorsement of the greatest musical colleges and the uni.
versal praise of the world's most famous artists, the greatest mus
ical authorities of nil time the product of the great Kimball factor
- ies. .
The largest and one of the oldest factories in the world. '
- NO SCHEMES
Second All of this immense stock will be disposed of without re
serve at prices unheard of in the history of piano selling.
These prices are made possible only by the new plan of selling
which eliminates all schemes, all premiums and puzzle contests, all
of which cost money and In the end the purchaser has them to piy
for, it is a fact if some one gives you something if you Buy something
you pay for both.
We feel sure that all people who contemplate placing a piano Is
their home will hasten to take advantage of this clean, square business-like
manner of coming straight to the front with an honest factory-to-home,
money-saving plan, of selling the World's Leading
pianos.
MR. BROWN ANSWERS QUESTIONS
Mr. Brown, the special auditor of the great Chicago factories,
staled today that the somewhat radical departure from the usual
manner of selling pianos was meeting with great success.
"You see," he explained, "by getting right down to "brass tacki,'
and cutting out all expensive schemes, it is astonishing how much yon
can save."
When asked what effect he thought this policy of selling direct
would have an the trade he said that it would possibly have a tend
ency to bring purchasers generally closer to the factories.
But this particular case could not be taken as a sample for the
reason that this was an actual case of surplus being unloaded and
price being quoted in this "Great Clean Up Sale," were much low
er than could ordinarily be made from factory direct
SENSES OF PLANTS.
A Theory That Flowers See and Hear
and May Even Talk.
Jean Viaud-Brnant who is one of the
most famous French horticulturists,
has Just published a little book on
flowers, in which he advances the the
ory (1 believe it is not entirely novel)
that flowers both see and hear. As a
young man. he says, he began to study
flowers, for which he has always had
a passion, and be sought to understand
the habits of the blooms which he cuU
tivated. When he saw the growing
plant reach out toward the necessary
support he asked himself whether the
action was the result of volition and
whether the plant had eyes.
M. Viaud-Bruant ia now apparently
convinced that flowers both bear and
see. There are some that are sensitive
to anaesthetic substances, ether in par
ticular, which suggests the existence
of a.nervpus systemL. like-.tbPt of a
nervous woman." "And ne would eren
credit them with something analogocf
to the power of speech.
"One knows." he writes, "that the
perfume of flowers is a maaifestatioB
of vegetable life, a living radiation.
Perfume is as much a vibration as n
olfactory sensation. The perfume is
the voice of the flower. A bouquet is
a wordless romance. Each perfume or,
rather, each odorous sensation corre
sponds with a certain rate of vibration.
There is an analogy between the per
ceptions of sound, light and scent The
strong scent corresponds with the deep
notes, while the delicate odors corre.
spond with the shrill notea." Paris
