THE MORAL ISSUE IS BURIED

Rock Island republicans yesterday
elected their ticket from top to bot
tom. They succeeded through ad-
mirable organization. Party lines
were drawn despite all other iss ues
involved. While large number of
representative men of the party, in
spired by interest in the moral well
fare of the city, as clearly defined by
the democratic platform, gave their
support to Mr.. BIanding's candidacy,
vet the political odds were too much
to overcome.
Mr.. Knox assumes executive di-
rection of the municipality without
any definite policy on the moral ques-
tion, at least so far as any formal de-
claration is concerned, but iud ging
from the fact that many promises
have been made in his behalf in order
to meet the democratic pledges, to-
gether with the desperate support
given him on the other hand by saloon
interests in the community, his fu-
ture course will be closely watched
by the people of Rock Island.
Robert r. Reynolds. the democratic
candidate for city attorney, made
splendid showing, running several
hundred votes ahead of his ticket.
On the township ticket G.. w. Henry,
democratic nominee for assessor,
polled the largest vote of any of the
nominees on the ticket, having like
wise the distinction of being the only
democrat to carry a ward. As will
be seen. he received a majority of
in the Third, his home ward.
UP in the Seventh, Robert Wagner,
Jr., democratic aldermanic nominee,
reduced the normal republican ma
jority about one hundred votes, and
has reason to feel proud of his show
ing. even if he Was defeated.
One result of the election is that
the only two democrats that have held
seats in the city council the past year,
Aids. Fender and Heidemann, retire
with the Inauguration of Mayor Knox,
who will have a solid republican
council to back him up. The repub.
licans will have it all their own way.

INTELLIGENCE OF FISH.
Method in Their Movements az De-
,scribed by an Interested
Observer.

An hour later. says Arthur Henry, in
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, we
were standing by one of the glass tanks
watching hundreds of little fish, an
inch long and half as wide, darting
about the rocks covered with beauti-
full green sea-weed, like a growth of
tender shrubbery. They were "stort
minnows," brilliant with all the lines
of purple and blue, with now and then
a CLINT of salmon as they turned swiftly
in the light.
"Watch them closely" said Prof.
Dalghren, "and you will notice that
there are five of them on guard over
five different localities. Each one of
these is "A male protecting a nest con-
cealed in the region where he swims." ="
At once the spectacle became intel.
ligible to me. 1t was no longer an aim
less, playful darting about of fish, in.
terested only for their flashing and
glowing tints. One of them was
guarding the pebbles on the bottom,
in one corner. He was the only
watcher in that section of the tank,
and the most incessant activity was
necessary. He was not given mo-
ment's pause. Hundreds of his fell
lows hovered over and around him
were constantly slipping into his do
main. AS he darted with open mouth
at those about him, others would
shoot from one side, or whisk out OF
a clump of weeds, at little dis
tance, and begin ut once to nose
among the pebbles. in search of eggs
Instantly the guard was upon them
and routing them cut. He would
shoot eff again to disperse those de,
scending.
In another section, the other four
guards were similarly at work, but
the task was easier for them as THEN
nests were close together and they
worked in unison. Each of these haG
but one side from which attack coult
come. The other sides were protect
ed by the operations of his compan
ions. Every moment of the - hours
night and day. without an instant's
rest or let up. these guards are al
their defense. The moment the fe
males of harem lay their eggs, the
male takes charge and drives ever
the mothers away: which indicates
that they might devour their owl
eggs, A guard has never been knowr
to violate his nest nor to disturb an
others They trust each other i'm
plicitly. One guard never attacks an
other even though they often col
lide in their pursuit of interloperi
and overreach into each others terri
tory. These fish know each other a,
individuals. If a group of 20 maraud
ers swoop into the preserves at once
and the guards are dashing in all di
rections among them, nipping t.
right and to left. moving too swift,
for the eye to follow. they never mis-
take an ally for an enemy.

NOT TOO MANY WOMEN.
The Numerical Excess of the Sex No
as Great as Commonly
Supposed.

The census recently completed shows
that the feminine population is increas-
ing at a rapid rate in the large cities
and it is predicted that this country
will presently be confronted by prob
lem that has worried foreign statis-
ticans for some time--the prepon.
derance of women. 1t is admitted, says
the Chicago Chronicle, that the women
here have the advantage over their
foreign sisters in that many fields of
work are opened TO them and they can
also hold and dispose of property to an
extent unknown on the other side. So
that the American woman is in a great
measure economically independent of
man, and thus does she escape some of
the serious consequences that afflict
the foreign woman. 1t seems a pity
that anyone at this late day should fall
to worrying about the superhuous
woman myth. 1t is such TN old, old
story, and one that has times without
number proven to be needlessly dis
turbing. AS to the bogey of so many
women, did it ever occur to the alarm
lists to attempt to figure how many of
these feminine overplus were widows
who persist in OUTLYING their husbands
ten, 20 or even 30 years and spinsters
of uncertain age? Statistics published
about ten years ago showed that in
London, where the woman population
is greatly in excess of the male, be-
tween the ages of is and 45 the men
were in excess. The trouble appears
to be mainly with the women of so and
over, who are much more persistent
about holding on to life than are their
contemporaries among men. When
women as class are economically in
dependent the alarmist articles about
the superfuous woman will cease, for
who would dare to apply to a bread
winner so opprobrious a title as super
fuous?
