Without the water from Clear
Creek the railroad company
would have had a hard time this
spring and summer. They have
been hauling water west as far
Ash Fork to run the road. IF
the company had spent one
tenth the amount in developing
the permanent water we have
here, it has spent west of here,
in trying to make water where
there was none, they could have
had an ample supply to run the
entire system in case of neces
sity and to reclaim thirty or for
ty thousand acres of land be
side. 1t would not require the
outlay of vast amount OF cap
ital to throw a dam across Clear
Creek that would raise the water
to the level of the bridge. In
ordinary seasons enough water
runs to waste down that stream
to fill it and keep it full. But
to make assurance doubly sure,
with a small outlay the waters
of Chevelon could be thrown in
to Clear Creek by daming and
ditching. That would solve the
water problem so far as a per-
manent and adequate supply is
concerned.

The youthful lovers who have
been in the habit lately of using
the Catholic church steps on
which to do their courting, had
better seek some more secluded
spot, as their actions have been
watched by a number of the res
idents in the neighborhood. Only
two nights ago they were watch
ed by different parties, and from
what the Orb reporter learns, it
must have been exceedingly in
teresting, and it came near be-
ing decidedly more so to the
lovers. A word to the wise. =

rs 1T RIGHT
For all Editor to Recommend Pat
ent Medicines?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brew
rad, n. G.

From Sylvan Valley News, Brew
rad, N. G.
It may be question whether
the editor of a newspaper has
the right to publicly recommend
any of the various proprietary
medicines which food the mar
ket, yet as a preventive of suf-
fering we feel it a duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. We have known and
used thiz medicine in our family
for twenty years and have al
ways found it reliable. In many
cases a dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering
while physician is awaited.
We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for a
cure, but we do believe that if a
bottle of Chamberlain s Diar-
rhoea Remedy were kept on
hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suf-
fering might be avoided and in
very many cases the presence of
a physician would not be re-
CURED. At least this has been
our experience during the past
twenty years. For sale by W.

An exchange says it is not in

the former are feared and res

Yet it is safe to say that in the

equalizing the valuations of tax

as low as possible have raised
valuations wherever possible.
AS a matter of fact, if all prop
erty we're assessed according to
the figures at which it is held,
the rate of taxation could be
materially reduced. Property
owners would have no more to
pay, and it would give the coun-

supinely to his way of doing things
and acknowledge that he, and he
alone, is the city, or stand up for its
rights and respect that is due it. The
mavor has done what no other mayor
ever has before-he has even ignored
the aldermen of his own party-he
has as far as L am concerned. An
alderman ought at least ito have
something to>say about who are to be
appointed policemen from his own
ward, but this does not seem to be the
proposed line of policy. Why one
of the appointees came to me
and said that l had got to
vote for him or would get the worst
of it, and when / asked him who told
him that, he said the republicans,
and they had promised him my vote.
Now, / am a republican, but L am not

AN UNPOPULAR INNOVATION.
Order to Close the Postoffceat O'Clock at
Night.

Night.
In accordance with orders received
by Custodian II. G.. Pearce from the
supervising architect of the United
States treasury department at Wash
ington the Rock Island postoffice
building will be closed after today at 8
O'Clock at night-a decidedly unpopu-
lar innovation, and one which will
probably, and rightly should, occasion
a united protest from the public.
The order came as a result of the
theft from the building of a nickel
plated nozzle from the fire hose dur
ing the night. Custodian Pearce re-
ported the loss to Washington.
and in response to an inquiry, told
how it was that it was stolen. Then
he received an order to lock the public
entrances to the building at 9 o'clock.
This did not meet the approval of the
custodian or of Postmaster Thomas, the
latter, especially, knowing the wants
of the public in this respect, and rea-
liZing the Inconvenience that would
follow the closing of the doors
at such an early hour, as two
mails are dispatched thereafter
before II o'clock, and there are many
who wish to search their private mail
boxes during the evening. Postmas-
ter Thomas, through the custodian,
protested, and was finally permitted
to have drop placed in the north
door, where letters may he dropped
after 9 o'clock and will be gathered in
time for the night east and west
trains. box for parcels will be
placed at the southwest corner of Six
teenth street and Second avenue.
This is only partial convenience,
however for the public. as the main
advantage of n government building
is to have the arrangement of public
corridors to which the people may
have entrance at all hours of the night
as well as the day. We even had
this advantage at the old postof1ice in
leased quarters. 1t is hardly reason
able because hoodlums infest the cor
ridors aud commit thefts that the
public should be denied the accommo-
dation that was intended. The mat
ter is one that the Rock Island Club
should take up and communicate with
the authorities at Washington and
back up Postmaster Thomas protest.
A closed postollice is hardly in keeping
with a city the size of Rock Island.

DIR. Magee is an eloquent and convinc-

ened to by au audience which included
many white people. He began with
the introduction of the negro into Il is
country in 1921, tracing him down
through colonial history to the revo-
lutionary war, in which Crispus At
tucks was the first of the colored raj e
to fall in the defense of his country.
In the war of 1912. and in the civil
and Spanish-American wars, he said
the black man also acted bravely~ahd
played conspicuous part in the de-
Tense of the stars and stripes. 1t was
also evident 10 DIR. Mas ee III 1T the
white man, who had been friendly to
the colored MAJ, had helped largely.
in lessening his burden, in contend

the black man is laboring will have

is warm personal friend of Gov.
