KNOX SAVED THEM.
The Supervisors Beaten Under
Ordinary Conditions.
4 DIFFERENCE OF TOO VOTES.

With the Vote of q Congressman rs . Cri-
teriop, the Eject of the Influence of
Labor and a General Non approving Pub
lie Sentiment Cut . Pretty Big Figure.
The completion of the official
count Of the congressional vote
of last Tuesday in Rock Island
city affords grounds for some
interesting deductions, and the
fact is plainly apparent that Knox
alone saved his party from defeat. not
only on others Of the city and alder
manic nominees. but the entire town
ship ticket. The remarkable run
made by the republican candidate
for MAYOR, it cannot be doubted,
saved the assistant supervisors,
against whom the forces of united
labor and large percentage of our
people who were opposed to the
methods employed by the board with
reference to the court house, cast
their votes. The vote on congress-
man is fair criterion to measure
party strength. On this basis Prince
has a plurality over Bastian of 1,O25,
while the average plurality of Sim
net and Oberg over their opponents,
kinner and Larkin, is 3174 votes.
So it will be seen that the candidates
for assistant supervisors ran 7O74
votes behind their ticket, on which
party lines were drawn, and 1Oo2s
votes behind the head of the munich
pal ticket. whose plurality is 1920.
to whom alone they owe their saliva
ton. Had ordinary conditions pre-
vailed it is, therefore, plain that
Sinnet and Oberg would have been
retired, and the proof is conclusivs
that the votes directed against them
by laboripg people and others were
without prejudice to the mayoral
nominee on the same ticket, who
proved such a phenomenal runner.
Some Others.
So in part, it may be said, the
| treasurer elected owes his success to
the strength the head of the ticket
gave to all the nominees, as the dem
ocratic candidate was exception
ally strong, and it is likely
that the democrats would other
wise have landed at least one
more alderman. While, therefore,
the force of the situation is most
plsinly shown on the supervisors,
there are other republicans who
may thank the coming mayor for
their election last Tuesday. while
Albert Huesing and the democratic
aldermen who pulled through may
congratulate themselves at having
achieved success.

STILL SCRAMBLING.
Republicans Hussiing for the Various MI
nicfpal appointments.

hicfpal Appointments.
Activity continues to reign in the
ranks of the republican party in the
scramble for Office under the incom-
ing mayor. Every day seems to in
crease the prospects for Phil Miller
for chief of police, as he has some of
the most Jealous party workers en-
listed in his behalf. but opposing
candidates are still in the field and
will be until someone else is victor
or vanquished. The friends OF
George Long are pushing him for
deputy marshal, as are those of the
present night captain. Lawrence Kra-
mer, urging him, while Robert Ben
nett is also talked of as a candidate.
The rivalry for the other offices con-
tinues, as hitherto referred to.
Preceding card of denia |
from Horst Won Koeckritz that he
is not a candidate for health COM
missioner. the Union speaks of THE
ARGUS mentioning the names Of gen.
tlemen for appointive offices who
never thought OF being candidates.
This is matter in which THE ARGUS
has no interest. and certainly not
enough concern to create any hard
feelings. aud the mention of the can
didates is purely in the line of news.
As to Mr.. Won Koeckritz, THE
ARGUS has, just as it announced,
heard his name mentio ned in con-
nection with the office, and it knows
that he was n candidate both before
and after the nominating convention
but he has evidently changed his
mind. In any event the matter is OF
so little consequence that The ARGUS
regrets having brought rebuke upon
itself by the reference to which ex-
ception is taken.
However, few more denials in
support of the Unions assertion
might be in order and they would
doubtless be welcoming intelligence
to Mr.. Knox. Let us hear from some
more of them. The ARGUS may be
doing the mayor-elect a greater kind
ness than his own paper-and ii
would not, nor could not do less.

ARE WOMEN ONLY cHlLDRENY
Reasons For Believing Them TO BE Cases
of Arrested Develnnment.

Deception and ruse i'm woman, far moro
than in man, have become a habit of
thought and speech. A series of conditions
social, intellectual and physiological
have forced this habit upon her as a means
of self defense. Woman's religious nature
is stronger than mans She possesses in
a marked degree the qualities Of reverence,
dependence devotion, trust and fidelity
Fear and timidity are feminine qualities,
while faith is so natural to woman that
she is disposed to credulity rather than to
skepticism From her mental differences
the doctrine of woman $ infcriority receives
no support. But here again, as in her
physical peculiarities, woman approaches
the child type.
The hypothesis that woman approx
mates to the primitive rather than to tho
child type, that she represents arrested de-
velopment, may be said to receive a certain
amount of confirmation from her mental
traits. That women are. less modified men
tally and are meAe alike than men also ar
CUES for arrested developments But in
many of her mental traits woman departs
further than man from the savage type
In her moral qualities she represents high
er evolution. This is notably true in re-
spect to her altruism, charity, sympathy
