CAUSE AND EFFECT.
An Issue Before the People and
the Result.
THE ARGUS AND DR.. G. B. KINY0N

Controversy In which the Position of
All Was Plainly shown aud In Which
Men Were judged by Their Ideas Of Pob.
lie Policy.
Within the past year THE ARGUS
took up the cause of the oppressed
teachers in the Rock Island public
schools and fought their battle for
them. DR.. Claudius B. kinyon. of
this city. found time from his pro-
fessionsl duties to oppose relief to
the teachers, aud he threw his iu-
huence, his energies and his talents
against them. The teachers won
aud DIR. kinyon got hurt.
In all the history Of Rock Island
no contest over matters of local gov
ernment in any form has so aroused
the people. DR.. Kinyon went into
that fight with all that was in him.
He led forlorn hope and an unpop
uiar movement. He stood on the
issue he bad made, and the voters, both
men and women, OF the Rock Island
school district expressed themselves
in manner that made a ridiculous
spectacle Of the doctor. The ARGUS
was on the side of the teachers, as
said before, aud consequently was
opposed to the doctor. AS the CAM
paign progressed the paper became
the more proud OF the relative posi-
tons OF the doctor and itself, and
that pride so aroused was not les
'ened when the people spoke June
80. 1t IS always pleasant task to
champion a righteous cause, and the
consequences of having so become
enlisted are not as rule to be
dreaded. 1t is the one who is unfor-
tuuate in arraying himself who SUIT
fers. aud who. il he be conscientious
In the position he assumes, should
not pursue vindictive course, but
should take his medicine like man.
There is no ore so distasteful to the
public mind as a sorehead, especial
ly II such Stiliction be but the reap
ing of the fruit of his own folly.
Going Back Good Ways.
Long before the school fight, oc-
Cured the Incident of which Dr.
Claudius b. Kinyon now complains
in his suit for $4,000 damages
against The ARGUS While this
paper may have been responsible in
part for the fact that the doctor was
not vindicated in the absurd attitude
he assumed before the people OF
Rock Island in the time preceding
June 80, which marked the public
controversy over the school question.
it does not admit that it was a greater
enemy to DR.. Claudius b. Kinyon
than he wa to him self. THE ARGUS
Judges men by their acts as public
servants or by their methods to be-
come public servants, and it reserves
to itself the right to uphold or OPP
pose men and measures affecting the
public welfare according to the die.

vidual.
The issue. il such it can be called
between DIR. kinyon and The ARGUS
arose with the unfortunate contro.
versy over school policies As far as
The ARGUS is concerned it was sup
posed to have ended when the people
passed judgment on that contro-
versy.
