CALLED HOME.
Mrs. Gilptn Moore Passes Away After a
Long Illness-Obituary.

Long Iilness-Obttuory.
Gently and sweetlv as all her life
had been spent, Mrs. Gilpin Moore
entered the sleep whose awakening
is eternity at 1910 last evening. In q
beautiful home surrounded by those
to whom she was dear, the beloved
woman passed peacefully beyond the
Bourn of earthly pain.
Mrs. Moore had been in feeble
health for fully two years, and dur
ing the past two months her life had
hung in the balance. All that medi
cal skill could do was done, and a
few months ago a surgical operation
was performed in Chicago In hopes
of producing relief, but all in vain,
and death was due to complication
of ailments.
Mrs, Moore's maiden name was
Ludica Crisswell. She was born in
Ripley county, Ind, Nov. z, 1881,
and came with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. James Crisswell, to Edgington
township, Rock Island county, in
1913. She was united in marriage to
Gilpin Moore in Rock Island, March
3, 1858, and her husband survives
with four children: Truesdale L.,
of Kansas City; Mrs. Wellington ii.
Martin, of Davenport, ard Charles
+. and Anna Moore at home
Mrs. Moore was jealous in every
good work. Her entire life tittirglv
exemplitied the nobleness and beauty
of well doing. She was devoted
member OF the Broadway Presbyter-
ian church, and there, as in other
walks of life in which she was well
known, she will be deeply missed.
The funeral will occur from the
family mansion, on Moline avenue,
at = o'cloci, tomorrow afternoon,

These lines. written by Henry

true now as they were 742 Ii. c. The
most practical kind OF demonstra.
ton was that of Saturday night, es-
pecially along the paved streets. The

went into your eye, and the rest of it
went into somebody else's eve and

Saturday Nights Big Blow.
Late Saturday afternoon the wind
subsidized somewhat, but in the even
ing it rose again, and for an hour be-
tween and 8 O'Clock it blew at the
rate of mile minute. and Observer
Wa'z states that for minute at about
O'Clock it attained ferocity of as
miles an hour. The effect was that
pedestrians found it dangerous on the
streets. because of swinging signs
and awnings. Many chimneys were
blown down, one of those on the east
side of Mitchell e. Lynde's building
falling with crash. MANY trees
were uprooted and several sheds and
other outbuildings damaged. To

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS,
The Advantages of Advertising Through

The Advantages of Advertising Through
the Newspaper.
The success of advertising depends
upon the advertiser. He must have
goods the people need and offer them
in an attractive way. He must have
the goods he advertises at the price
stated. A "fluke adj is poor in.
yestment for any business man.
Loss of confidence in business an
nouncements means loss of trade.
All advertising does not paw.
There must be Judgment used in
making investments in advertising
space, as well as in the purchase of
any goods. Advertising is not one
quality and 4 one-priced article any
more than wooden goods, broad
cloths. oranges or meats. The me-
dunn for advertising, the circulation
and the number of readers. must all
be considered. There are catch

every town which do not afford a
fair return for the money invested.

gains. and always give a better re-
turn. 1t is n fair estimate to count
five readers for readers for every pa
per, and the larger the number of
papers issued the more valuable the
space. The money paid in catch
penny schemes for single issue is
frequently enough to pay for the
same space in daily paper for 4
week. The paper may issue as MANY
papers in q day as the whole special
edition and place the lad before
six times as many people in week
for the same price. Money careless.
ly spent in printers ink does not
give profitable returns.
There is chance for scholarship,
ingenuity, invention, eccentricity
and wit in preparing an advertise
ment; but honesty is always the best
trademark, and, as it cannot be
copyrighted, all are free to use it.

REPUBLICAN INCONSISTENCY.
Protectionists Borrow Democratic Ideas
for Selfish Purposes.

Protectionists Borrow Democratic Ideas
for Selfish Purposes.
The persistent howl which the re-
publicans have made about the duty
of one-tenth of a cent a pound on
sugar coming from countries that pay
an export bounty has been frequently
alluded to in our columns They have
insisted strenuously that the prohibi-
ton of the import of American cattle
is based entirely on this provision, and
they have been eloquent in denouncing
the democratic party for measure
calculated to injure our export trade.
A similar provision was in the Nc
Kinley bill. 1t has also shown that
the provision does not unfairly dis
criminate against Germany as COM
pared with other sugar-producing
countries, as the extra duty is less
than the export bounty. At the same
time, the German bounty is calculated
to cheaper sugar to the American con-
sumner, and we have urged that there
ought not to be any effort on our part
to prevent Germany from paying part
of our sugar bill if she insists on it.
For this reason the extra duty of one
tenth of cent pound should be re-
pealed. President Cleveland urges the
same thing in his message.
1t should Oe noted, however, in this
connection that the protectionists
have always ridiculed the assertion
that our high tariff rates diminished
our export trade. They reject the idea
that nation cannot sell unless it also
buys, and that checking importations
means checking expectations also, be-
cause in the long run imports must be
paid for with exports. They are, how
ever. very ready to come over to this
notion in particular cases, when they
think party capital can be made.
Their ideas of consistency are very
crude.
The republicans in congress will,
however, have an opportunity, no
doubt, to show whether they are seri-
Gus in their opposition to this dis
| eliminating duty If they will cooper

THE INCOME TAX.
A Law That Is a Step In the Right Di-
rection.


The income tax law, it is confidently
predicted, will by the present con-
gress be practically nullified by with
holding the appropriations necessary
to carry it into effect. The wish is
probably father te~the thought; but
there is good deal of reason to doubt
the accuracy of the prediction. Those
who make it also predicted that Presi-
dent Cleveland in his message would
either recommend such course or
show in some clear fashion his dislike
of the tax and the law. That predic-
ton was not verified. The president
said nothing whatever about the in
come tax law. 1t is quite possible
that the other prediction may fall
equally short of verifcation. 1t GER
tainly should not be verified. Con-
gress owes to itself and to the country
the completion of the work it under
took in passing the income tax law.
Its failure to appropriate the funds
necessary to carry out the law was q
blunder. That blunder should be
rectified. If the courts shall there
after declare the law unconstitutional,
as it is said the courts will, that is not
the affair of congress. Its duty will
have been done when the law it IN
dertook to pass, and supposed it had
passed, has been completed in accord
ance with the clear intent of the legis-
lators.
The entire scheme of revenue for
the coming and succeeding years is
based on the collection of this tax; and
for that reason, if for no other, it
should be perfected so that it may not
be necessary to unsettle the business
of the country by the formulation and
discussion Of any new scheme. It is
not an ideal method of raising revenue.
The Free Press has pointed out more
than once that it is in many ways one
of the most Objectionable methods to
which resort can be had for the pur-
pose; and chiefly because of the diff
Guilty in enforcing it equitably and in
