James j. LaVelle will assume the
management of The ARGUS business
department next Monday and from
that date all matters pertaining to

the latter capacity. too, he has
demonstrated his business ability and
accuracy and has gained an ex-
perience that will serve him well in
the duties about to be assumed.
While he will now be found in a diff
ferent department of the papers en-
ploy, the general knowledge he
formerly gained of the ways of a
wide-a-wake publication will be of
valuable service to him, and while he
will be missed at the postoflice win
dow, he will find pleasure in return
ing many of the business calls that
have been made him, and our mer-
chants will find him and the paper
he represents ready to serve them to
the best possible.
Clyde Eberhart, city circulator for

CLEAN THE CITY.
Rock Island Needs a General
Renovation.
ALLEYS GENERALLY IN BAD SHAPE

Much That Should BE Hauled Away and
Sewers That Ought to Be Flushed
Time for FAn Overhaulin. Is at
Hand.
The time of the year for fall ma
nicipal house cleaning is upon us.
Rock Island needs a general renova-
ton about as badly as it ever did in
its history. this from the standpoint
of cleanliness and tidiness, no less
than as sanitary measure.
A week ago The ARGUS spoke of
the neglected condition of the allie Us
in the business portion of the city
and the filth that has accumulated in
many Of them. The calling of atten-
ton to these instances of neglect has
led to the lodging of complaint con-
corning alleys in the resident dis
tricts, and throughout the city gen.
orally. In fact. from all parts OF the
city come reports that the condition
of the alleys was never quite so bad
as now.
General Cleaning Up Necessary.
As a matter of truth the city is in
need of a general cleaning in sani-
tary way. AS results of the different
storms that have swept down from
the bluff. the deposits that have been
left. the accumulation of offal, ETC.,
are such as to cause feeling that
unless rigid measures are adopted ar
epidemic may be threatened. Ref
erence is in this connection made
particularly to the additions which
skirt along the bluff. In some in
stances obnoxious odors have arisen
from the deposits that have occa
stoned great deal of unpleasantnes:
and annoyance to people living in
the neighborhood where these condi
tions exist.
| Sewers Need Flushing.
That the entire sewer system need.
flushing and cleansing has been APP
parent to ordinary observers for
some time. The stencil that eman
ates from many of the catch basins
is indicative that there is something
very unnatural in Denmark, and il
the city is DESTROYS of preserving and
promoting that which is the most i'm
portaut and desired factor in a com.
munity-general good health-it will
have a general cleaning up, and thai
soon.
A sort of municipal house clean

Letter Fron Pope Lee.
st. Paul. Oct. l0.-.Archbishop Ire
land In an interview with the Asso.
ciated Press representative to-day,
said:
"rhe words Of Pope Leo are In no
manner Of means condemnation Of
parliaments Of religions. He merely
prescribes the methods or conditions
under which Catholics may take part
In them. He deems unadvisable the
pronhscuolls assembling Of Catholics,
with men Of all forums of religion,
Buddhists and Mohammedans, as well
as non-Catholic Christians, upon the
same platform for the discussion of
religious questions. The pope, no
doubt. somewhat fears, us many 9TH
ers did and do, that from such pr)-
miscuous gatherings the Impressions
go out into the public mind that all
forms Of religions are looked upon as
OF equal value md equal sufficiency.
The Catholics who participated In the
Chicago parliament Of religions were
not without their misgivings rs to the
peril Of Impressions of this kind. But
circumstances did not suggest or al
low other arrangements than promis-
cuous assemblages-and In view of
the general good expected from their
participation In the congress, Catho-
lies did not keep themselves aloof, sat
isfytng their consciences TINT oil
things would be made right by their
emphatic and repeated declarations
that the principles of the Catholic
faith remained intact and nothing
done or said should be taken as plac-
Ing other religions OH the same foot
Ing as the Catholic. But now, when
congresses or parliaments of religions
are becoming frequent and seem des-
tined to be permanent institutions, it
Ia felt that such care ought to he
taken by Catholics that not even the
most delicate and scrupulously con-
scientious among the children of the
church be alarmed or that the most
unthlnking non-Catholic be led to mis-
apprehend the Catholic position.
Hence the words of warning coming
from the sovereign pontiff,"

cash. He locked the safe and closed

everything was supposed to be all

tion showed that he had not occupied
his room at his residence last night,
and further search failed to disclose
his whereabouts. The police were i'm.
mediately summoned, and they are
confident Of catching stuckey. They
think the great bulk of the gold

It will be hard to conceal. For some

st. Paul, Special.-Deputy State Au.
ditor Ivers0D received a letter from
State Auditor Dunn yesterday report.
ing unusually successful sales of state
lands. In Blue Earth county the state
auditor sold oil the land advertised
and nearly every piece was sold In the
counties Of Scott and Carver. In Jack
son county Mr.. Dunn reported that
most all Of the forfeited land had been
redeemed, one man having paid up
1910 back interest and payments on q
quarter section. This general redemp-
tion Of state lands will swell the re.
ceipts Of the state. and Mr.. Iverson
said that the November settlement
with county treasurers would un.
doubtedly be the largest In the history
Of Minnesota in consequence.
