The Proper Caper.
There Is movement on foot
among the friends of the Woodmen
order to provide some sort Of dem
onstration in honor of the head otfi-
GERS of the order on their first visit
to Rock Island since the establish
ment Of the permanent home of
Woodcraft here. The board OF direc-
tors meets early next week in regu-
lar session, ana it is indeed most
befitting that the head officers be
shown that Rock Island not only
fights for, but welcomes and stands
by her friends. 1t has been suy-
gested til At an afternoon and even
ing Outing the session Of the board
OF directors be set apart for their
honor. that the afternoon be made q
holiday and that merchants and
manufacturers be requested so sus-
pend for that portion of the day,
and that all the Woodmen camps in
the three cities and adjoining owns
participate in II parade to be re-
viewed from the Industrial building
by the head oficers, and that in the
evening banquet be rendered the
distinguished Representatives OF the
order. The time is short to prepare
for an extensive celebration, but such
a one as is outlined for may readily
be arranged, and later when the cor
ner stone Of the new building is laid
we may have one which will bring
together representatives OF the great
order from throughout the entire
Jurisdiction.
The question of finance is Of
course the most essential, but there
should be no difficulty, in view of
the interest taken in the removal
question. in raising funds sufficient
TO defray all reasonable expenses. 1t
has been proposed. for instance, to
call in certain percentage Of the
subscriptions to the lot purchase
some years ago, but which, owing to
the order having made its own pur-
chase, will not be required for that
purpose. tits needful that there be q
fund established not only to properly
entertain the order during the estab.
iishment here. but to REIN burse it
for the expense it has sustained in
the litigation that has bsen hrough t
upon it through its desire to come
here. and which had to be overcome
before 1t could move. The ARGUS
received this morning letter from
DR.. g. G. Craig on this subiec,,
and the ideas advanced by him, it
is believed, will find the response
that becomes our pu blic-spirited Cit
liens under the circumstances.
The writer, among other things,
says: 1--WE have finally landed the
Woodmen office In Rock Island, but
not unit. after long and unpleasant.
contest. The removal has cost she
order considerable money. The order
could have gone elsewhere and saved
the most OF this expense and, YOU
may say, all Of the annoyance
and danger Che Fal,on people,
it should be said. having set
up the claim at Madison and d.

DIR. Craig then proposes as the
proper course for Rock Island to
reimburse the Woodmen to an ex-
tent at least of the e,pense of re-
moval. He speaks OF the subscrip-
ton Of the Rock Island Sani,arium
to the lot fund some time ago and
says be has conversed with his
associates In business and they
are willing to let the sub

others will do the same, and some
