A LIVING EXAMPLE.
Talk About Prescription, Look
at Titterington.
REMOVED A CATHOLIC TEACHER

After Praising Her Work. He Ascertains
Her Religious Faith. and Then She Had
to Go From the Edgingson school-How
Does He Suit the Union:
Driven TO the last desperate resort.
the Union seeks to create prejudice
against Cyrus ID. Gordon by terming
him an A. p. A., an accusation that
is as false as anything that the morn
ing paper has said concerning him
during the campaign. In its at
tempt To in this way wreak its ven
geance upon the coming treasurer.
the Union though has lost sight of
the fact on this particular issue it is
living in glass house. AS long as
the issue has been made, il may be
said Fred Titterington.i in whose cause
the Union is abusing Mr.. Gordon.
has shown himself to be an
A. p. A, not only in name, but in
act, and one of the most arrogant,
intolerant and bigoted kind at that.
Removed Catholic Teacher.
Five years ago Miss Lima Kane, of
this city. now Mrs. T. S. Silvis Of
Carbon Cliff, was teacher in pub-
lie school in Edgington township.
Fred Titterington was one OF the in
iluential school directors at that
time. Miss Kane had taken the
school three years before under great
disadvantages. as her two immediate
predecessors had been failures. but
Miss Kane mastered the situation so
cleverly. exercised such exceptional
ability not only as instructor. but in
restoring discipline and order. and
bringing the school up to the stand
ard of the best among the country
schools of the county, that she won
the hearty praise of all the school
directors. including MIR. Tittering-
ton. For two years she was the ia
vorite of directors and school pa
irons, but one day Mr.. Titterington
learned of the lady's religious belief,
ami she was dismissed. The reason
was not withheld either. She was
told plainly that MIR. Titterington
objected to her on the grounds of
her faith. and he boasted at the time
that no Catholic teacher could hold
q position in a district that he
had anything to DO with the rum
ming Of, and all these facts are
vouched for by the lady in question.
II the A. 7. A. question is to be
dragged in. how does the Union like
its candidate?

How lie Stands at Home

So unpopular Is Titterington in his
home township. Edgington. that al
though it has a nominal republican
ma aiority of 80, il is declared that he
cannot carry it. 1t is generally con-
ceded in all political contests that a
candidate will always secure some
opposition party votes in his own
precinct on the grounds Of friendship
and good will. but it is said that Tit
terington will only not get demo-
cratic vote in Edgington. but that he
will lose about 20 republican votes
And yet Titterington is endeavoring
to pose as a good fellow in this
city and Moline. Well. well,

LABOR'S INTERESTS
More Support for the Court
House Proposition.
IRON MoULDERs ARE FOR IT.

Strong Resolutions Adopted Saturday
Evening-Let no Friend of Labor Fail
to do His Full Duty Tomorrow In Favor
of the Bonds.
The position of labor on the prop
oSition to erect a new court house,
the sympathy of one branch of labor
for another was evinced Saturday
evening. when Iron Moulders' Union.
$50. adopted the following resolutions
in favor of the subject:
Resolutions.
Whereas. The board of superyis-
Ors of Rock Island county has sub
mitted the proposition of building
new court house to take the place of
the tumble-down structure now oc-
cupied for that purpose, to vote of
the people, and
Whereas. The erection of a new
building such as is contemplated at
the present time would prove of vast
benefit to the working people of this
community; therefore, be it
Resolved, That Iron Molders' I'm
ion, No. $50, of Rock Island, heartily
endorses the movement and recon-
mends it to the thoughtful consider
alton of all friends of labor.
1t is very apparent that no union
labor man in the county will fail to
vote for the bond issue tomorrow
The cause of labor has appealed, and
the voice of labor will reply. Every
laboring man knows how labor
stands. 1t is conceded, therefore,
that al! labor men will vote for the
proposition. The only possible dan
ger is in overlooking the proposition.
This every labor man should guard
against. Remember it is the prime
issue of the day. Vote for the two
propositions at the bottom of the
ticket, marking an X to the right
of the word .yes" on each propo-
sition. This signifies an aflir-
native sentiment on each, both
of which are of the deepest concern
to labor's interests. the first provid-
ing for the constitutional amendment
to ad Just labor difficulties by arbi-
tration, and the other to build a new
court house and give employment to
labor.
DO not overlook these propositions

A SELFISH SPIRIT.
That Attributed to Moline With Reference
to the Court House.


to the Court House.
Since the agitation of the PROPOSE
ton to erect a new court house was
first brought up, the two Moline
dailies-the Dispatch and the Repub
lican-J Journal-have been doing their
utmost to defeat the project, the lat
ter paper being particularly hostile
in its attitude which has been direct
ed chiefly toward Rock Island. which
has been abused in season and out by
that paper, one of its most striking
expressions being to the effect that
Moline did not propose to contribute
to the metropolitan embellishments
of the ex-metropolis." This spirit of
unreasonable hatred for sister CITY
however not being shared by the
Weekly Mail, which has aimed to
voice a more laudable aim in life and
has supported the proposition, THE
ARGUS has felt right along that the
true sentiment existing in Moline did
not find expression in the daily pa
pers. and therefore has withheld
comment until now. hoping that the
returns on election day would evince
such a disposition on the part of Mo-
line that 1t would repudiate the
spirit of its daily press. 1t has been
learned on the contrary that the
seeds sown with such unkindly feel
ing toward Rock Island have borne
fruit, that efforts are being made in
the direction of organized and con-
certed effort to defeat the court
house proposition. citizen of that
city this morning bearing out such
sentiment while in conversation on
the street in Rock Island, when he
declared that much as he personally
deprecated the fact. that it was new
ertheless S that Moline was deter
mined to defeat the court house if
possible.
GroundIess UnfriendIiness
Now. why this spirit of hatred in
Moline for Rock Island? Why al
lude to Rock Island as the ..ex-me-
tropolis?" Is the new court house to
reflect the pride of Rock Island any
more than it does that of Moline and
the entire county? Is not the court
house county institution Do
not the people of Geneseo feel the
same pride in Henry county's fine
structure that they do over in Cam
bridge? Did not Kewanee and Gal
va and Andover all contribute to its
erection, and are they not all Justly
proud of it as representing their
ideas of justice and of public spirit?
But, again, why should Moline de-
sire to do Rock Island an evil turn as
long as she has put it on those
grounds? Has Rock Island ever be-
grudged Moline any CT those institu-
tions of which she is proud? Rock
Island capital is interested in many
of Moline's manufacturing institu-
tions. Rock Island merchants con-
tribute to the support of Moline pa
pers. and Rock Island people have
never had other than kindly and
neighbOrly feelings toward Moline
When the prospect of an extensive
stock yards being located above Mo-
line was discussed, Rock Island felt
the same interest in the enterprise
that Moline did. She did not
kick because the stock yards
were to be brought no nearer
TO Rock Island. When the Mo-
line and Rock Island exposition pro-
ject was under consideration. Moline
was given the preference in the title

SUGAR MEN LOST A POINT.
Judge McComns Denies the Appii-
cation for a Mnndnmus.
tBy Associated Press

WASHINGTON. Oct. 12--Judge Me
Comas, OF the District Supreme Court,
denied to-day, the application OF the
Miles Sugar Company, OF Louisiana. for
mandamus to compel Secretary Car
isle to appoint inspectors to ascertain
the sugar production OF the Company.
The object of the suit, 1t IL understood
was to test the legality of the recent re-
peal of the sugar bounty provision of
the Mckinley law, and also to lay the
foundation for an appeal to Congress for
payment OF bounty for the current year.
The Court holds that: ''The sugar
bounty is not right or liability In
tended to be saved by the general re-
pealing clause. 1t IL u bounty depend
ent upon public policy and the good
faith OF Congress and always under
legislative control. 1t appears that
Congress has exercised Its power to re-
peal and has repealed this system OF
sugar bounty, and has repealed the in
cidental provision for supervision and
inspection OF sugar production, on which
provision this Company now rests Its pc
tition for the writ OF mandamus,"
