col. FLAGLERs TRANSFER.


While, rs stated in Saturday evenings
ARGUS. Col. D. W. Flagler has received
no official notification of his transfer TO
Fraukford arsenal, Philadelphia, 1t is al
together probable that the rumors con-
corning such removal are well founded,
and that the change will be made about
July |. Perhaps the most important fea>
ture of the change now made does not
appear on the surface. The transfer of
Lieut.. Col. Flagler from Rock Island ar
senal to frankfort arsenal, Philadelphia,
has special significance in view of the
determination of chief Of ordnance to es.
tablish at that arsenal whatever works
the government may authorize him to
construct. 1t will be remembered that
the gun foundry board suggested that The
army gun factory, when established,
should be at Natervliet arsenal, but there
are various reasons why Franktord arse
nal should be preferred in case such fac
tory is established, and it is said in army
circles that General Benet, who is chief
of the ordinance department, is right in
selecting Frankfort arsenal instead of
Watervliet arsenal
Col. Flagler is a man of eminent con
structive talent, and upon him will de-
volve the responsibility to large extent
of organizing mechanical arrangement:
which will furnish foundation for a gov
eminent gun factory at Germantown.

and was assigned to duty in the ordnance
service at Fortress Monroe, where he re-
NAMED on duty until the fall of GA, when
he was appointed chief of ordnance for
the army of the Tennessee, and took po-
sition on General Sherman's staff. He
was with Sherman in the march TO the
sea, and in the other operations up TO the
review at Washington. lie then Re
turned to Fortress Monroe, where he res
manned until SO, when he was trans
ferred to New York arsenal. on Govern
or's Island, serving there ever since. He
has family, and is said to he one of the
most genial of men.
FLAGLER's NEW QUARTERS
Frankford arsenal, of which it is
thought Col. Flagler will have command,
is at Bridesburg, suburb of Philadel-
phia. 1t was established in 1916 1t is
the arsenal of construction and labratory
for metallic cartridges. caps and primers
for cannon-and is the site selected for
the proposed great gun works.
PUBLIC OPINION.
In Davenport the announcement of
Col. Flagler's prospective transfer is be
ing attended by general regret-very nat
urally-but in this city the people do not
seem to feel so bad about it, the laborine
men being rather pleased than otherwise,
over it. No one in Rock Island guess

ETHICAL AND RELIGIOUS REMEDIES.
The evils causing this labor conflict
are moral as well as legislative and ccon-
omical. Hence moral remedies are re-
quired My correspondent suggested
many OF this character. Mutual conces-
sions, cooperation, arbitration. more fear
of God in hearts of employer and en-
ployed. The religion of Jesus Christ
is the only effective remedy know of.
when men obseree the Golden Rule,
this conflict will cease" etc etc. We
find that nearly all the talk, and all thai
is written on this subject points in this
direction. The commercial world seems
TO feel the want Of these Christian prin-
ciples, and we believe that these ideas
cooperation, arbitration and mutua
interest are coming to stay as fixed prin'
ciples in business. Numerous instances
may be cited to show that they are capa-
Die of practical application. Now is th'
time for Christian business men to lead
the way, and work a practical solution
OF this problem along the line OF thest
Christian principles; for, all these plan:
are simply the application of the Colder
Rule, and law of love to business.
Hence, what we need is that thu
religion of Jesus Christ should be LODGED
in the hearts of men. We believe tina

ECONOMIC REMEDIES.
Not only must laws he remedied and
enforced, but their vices must also
be checked, before this conflict can be
wholly iemedied. Many of my cores
pondents suggest such remedies as these,
Let working men quit drinking. and
attend strictly to business" more
economy, industry and temperance
among lsboring men, etc." These sug-
gestiOns all came from employers. Ii
may seem to working men to SAVIOR OF
cant to have comfortable employers ex
hort them to economy. We hope it will
not be so taken. 1t is not the intention
to make intemperance and extravaganza
the scspe goats for all other causes Of
this conflict. That would be unjust
But it is clear that a portion of the blame
for the working mans condition lies a
his own door and he alone can remedy
it. The majority of our capitalists have
