The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1877-08-15
Sympathy.

Where can 1t ma an aDldlDg place more
congenial than in the bosom of proud Mo-
line :? So it is sympathy is it? 1t is City
Attorney Moore's bread and butter. Well,
if it is Il case of charity. THE ARGUS will
stop, The city of Moline is rich and can
afford to stand bill of expense for the
sake of helping its unfedged attorneys to
get case in the supreme court Most
cities make their attorneys get into the |
supreme court on their merits, but as this |
is case of charity, and he will never get |
there in any other way. the council should
now authorize bis action. The we'll known
and avowed reputation of THE ARGUS for
religious charity, now that it understands
| Mr.. Moore's necessities, must force it to
cease opposing the unlawful and unauthor
lied efforts of our impecunious attorney
especially as the request comes from a
prominent citizen of the place in whose
judgment THE ARGUS has confidence and
whose good opinion it values very highly.
| It is TO be expected the saloon men will
stand the hardship without mumur, as
it is question of charity. and.who knows,
but thar the young attorney when he once
gets into the supreme court, may become
great legal luminary and shining light
in the bar of our proud city. They do
now say whistle can be made out of
pigs tail
