THE WOMEN WON.
The Robbins.Norris School
Combination Carries.
RESULT OF AN ORGANIZED EFFORT.

Two Representative Citizens Defeated by
the Psematurely Put Up Tscket-No
Question ~ to the Fact That Illegal
Votes Were Cast-Enect OF the Outcome.
The women won the day in the
Rock Island school election yester-
day. With the aid and influence
of the A. P. A., which is already in
control of our public school system,
the Robbins-Norris Combination. eff
fected several weeks in advance of
the discussion of other tickets, was
carried. Including, as it did, a rep
resentative of the sex, it was cum
ningly conceived to win the sup
port of those who favor female
representatives on the board, and
with the support thus attracted and
the solid vote of the Protective asso-
citation, even such representative
men as X. A. Donaldson and j. w.
Welch stood no show, although it
must be said of them that the vote
they did poll was that of citizens who
have a broad-minded interest in our
public school system, and not actuated
by personal motives or designs.
The Vote By Districts.
The city had, by Mayor Knox's
direction, been divided into three
voting districts. people residing be-
tween First and Fifteenth voting at
No. school, down town; between
Fifteenth and Twenty-four:h. at the
No. school, and between Twenty
fourth and the east limits at the No.
Z school on Seventh avenue. The
results Of the ballo:ing in the differ
ent precincts are appended:
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1895-06-26
Summary of the Vote.

The women, it will be seen, polled
a third of the vote cast and they won
the day entirely in the Seventh ward,
where it is shown that they did most
of the voting, the precinct being so
out of the way that only particular
interest could have attracted. With
anything like the distributed vote
that was cast in the lower districts,
Mr.. Donaldson would have been
elected easily.
That the city was inconveniently
and improperly districted was ap-
parent all day, and this fact was re-
sponsible for the loss of many votes.
A great number Of people from both
ends of the city went to the No. 9
school to vote, but finding that they
we're obliged to go mile one direc-
ton, and a half in the other, a6an-
doned the idea of voting. That was
notably true of the east end portion.
Beyond this. too, the city was illegally
divided. The school charter holds
on the subject of school elections that,
1.-THE meetings for said elections shall
be notified by the mayor of the city
of Rock Island by giving at least 10
days. notice of the time and place.
or places of said election; by pub
fishing a notice thereof in one or
more of the newspapers of said city;
and the poll books shall be opened
and kept open. the votes canvassed
and returns made, and all other pro-
ceedings had in the same manner as
in all elections of mayor and alder
men in the city of Rock Island; pro-
vided, that it shall not be necessary
to open the polls at more than one
place, unless the mayor way deem
it expedient to open them in each
ward of said city," The intent of
the law very plainly is that there
shall be but one voting place. or else
one in each ward, and in this view
the election was illegal. The pro-
visions for conducting the election
on the basis of other municipal cleo
tions was also ignored. as the pro-
vision that gives to women the right
to vote does not contemplate that
any special advantages should be

precinct yesterday without either be-
ing sworn in or required to present

Ballots were presented. names given
and votes accepted in innumerable
instances of this kind.
There we're other incidents Of the
election which were no less incon-
sistent with the spirit of America

school system. One was the active

SABBATH BARBERING.
The State Laws Prohibit 1t After Next
Sunday.

After next Sunday barber shops
will be prohibited by statute from
keeping open on Sunday. This is one
of the laws of the late brilliant legis-
lature which became operative with
out the governors signature. In
Rock Island it's enforcement or neg
lect may be the occasion for Sunday
crusades in another direction from
those growing out of violations Of
the saloon ordinances.
How They Feel Here.
The spirit of the law will not be
generally upheld in this city unless it
becomes mandatory, according to the
opinions advanced by representative
razor-wielders questioned by an AR
GUS man this morning. While some
apparently herald the enforcement of
the act, believing it to be a common.
dable movement such as will de-
crease the labors of the barber
without mourning any loss of bust
ness. the only difference being addi-
ers who, while not desiring to act in
different in the matter, view the sit
uation from a standpoint similar to
many other laws that are made and
not enforced to the letter. The be-
lieve that unless an agreement is
reached among all BARRIERS, there
will be more or less Sunday shaving,
which will cause all to open, unless
interferred with by the authorities
or victimized by crusaders.
