Don't Want Much,

Mayor Knox recently learned of
the disposition of manufacturing
institution in a neighboring state to
change location. He accordingly
communicated with the proprietors
and impaired the many natural ad-
vantages of Rock Island aside from
what its people were always disposed
to do in the way Of financial encour-
agement to the proper enterprise.
He is in receipt of a reply, and ii the
owners of the factory in question
have not made mistake in their
figures in the communication they
are blessed with an abundance of I'M
adulterated cheek. to say the least.
About forty men are given employ
ment and they ask Rock Island to
furnish a bonus of $4,000 and pre-
sent them with an acre Of land on
which to erect their institution, and
then they are in readiness to come.
1t is Just possible the writer of the
communication suffers from ner.
vousness and hooked on a couple OF
ciphers to what he undoubtedly
meant 50 At any rate Mayor
Knox proposes asking the people to
propose again.

surance companies the 2 per cent
tax as empowered by the legislature
to do for the maintenance of fire de-
partments affords the best example
of the disadvantage of a volunteer
department. as Rock Island found
out some years ago. AS has been
stated and reiterated time and again.
the volunteer firemen are entitled to
all the assistance and all the glory
they can get out of their business,
for they are unpaid and so they offer
their services in spirit that can only
be termed patriotic.
But Moline has grown beyond the
pale where a volunteer system of fire
protection is sufficient. 1t has passed
the age of infancy and should put
away childish things. 1t is a source
of great surprise that city with the
vast manufacturing interests of Mo-
line should have gotten along with
out paid department so many years.
Now the time seems approaching
when it will awake to the error of its
ways when it is too late.
1t may become aroused some morn
ing to find itself without fire protec-

a quantity of Plush and Fur Capes.
We stated that these were all
bargains worthy of due considera-

word we said in praise of these
goods has been much more than
verified by every customer visiting
the department since the goods
were received.
The verdict is unanimous. Now
if you need a Coat, Jacket or Cape,
don't delay.
We bought them for 80, 40 and
so cents on the dollar, and they
will be sold as bought.
Bring your money, as the cash
is the only thing we want to ex-
