UNUSUAL WEATHER.

Sunday opened with an unusual
temperature, and was So warm
that overcoats and winter wraps
were discarded. About 10 o clock,
however, a high wind arose and
made things very uncomfortable
for pedestrians. At times it al
most approached a hurricane,
blowing down fences, bill boards,
chimney pots, etc. Towards
night, however, it lulled again.

Publicity Needed.
The first essential in determining how to
deal with the great industrial combina-
tions is knowledge of the facts-publicity.
In the interest of the public the govern
ment should have the right to inspect and
examine the workings of the great corpo-
rations engaged in interstate business.
Publicity is the only sure remedy which
we can now invoke. What further reme-
dies are needed in the way Of govern
mental regulation or taxation can only be
determined after publicity has been OBJ
tanned by process of law and in the course
of administration. The first requisite is
knowledge, full and complete-knowledge
which may be made public to the world.
Artificial bodies such as corporations
and joint stock or other associations de-
pending upon any statutory law for their
existence or privileges, should be subject
to proper governmental supervision. and
full and accurate information as to their
operations should be made public regular
ly at reasonable intervals.
The large corporations, commonly called
trusts, though organized in one state. al
ways do business in many states, often
doing very little business in the state
where they are Incorporated There is
utter lack of uniformity in the state laws
about them and as no state has any ex-
elusive interest in or power over their
acts it has in practice proved impossible
to get adequate regulation through state
action Therefore in the interest of the
whole people the nation should, without
interfering with the power of the states
in the matter itself. also assume power OF
supervision and regulation over all corpo-
rations doing an interstate business. This
is especially true where the corporation
derives q portion of its wealth from the
existence Of some monopolistic element or

MERGING CHARITIES
Effort to Concentrate Public Re.
lief Work in the Twin
Cities.
AGITATION BY UNION MISSION
Supt. Gernann Suggests Means
of Employing the
Idle.

As briefly stated in last evenings
ARGUS officials of the Union Mission
are agitatiDg a movement looking to
the concentration of all public char
liable work in Rock Island and Mo-
line. G. h. Germann, superintendent
of the Union Mission, has been giving
considerable thought to the subject.
Cooperation and concentration of
effort should be no less beneficial
when applied to the distribution of
charities chan in trade and manufac-
lures" he said. Indeed, there is no
field of human effort where waste is
more prominent and d,effort more in
efficient. By the present random
practice there is waste of both means
and effort. Again, there is much
misdirected effort. There being no
accepted rules by which to determine
the worthy poor. it constantly hap
pens that the vicious and indolent
fare quite as well as the truly unfor-
tunate, indeed sometimes better. This
class bears all the artifice necessary
to enable them to secure full share
of the bounties of the charitable. and
thus soon become professional
paupers. Such individuals can be
found in every neighborhood.
1.-The most casual observation will
show that charities are distributed
quite too indiscriminately, and if
methods cannot be devised that will
have some tendency to cure the evil
of dependency, then all relief
had better cease, as by present
methods each generation is increasing
the number of dependents for the
next generation to care for. Shall we
then be content to relieve the symp-
toms of this pestilent malady and
allow this disease to go unchecked un-
til society becomes overwhelmed
with it?
Evil Increases.
mo method has been devised that is
sufficiently discriminating and at the
same time comprehensive enough to
avoid the increase of the evil, much
less any tendency to cure it. Efforts
of charity, which gives relief only,
by rendering the condition of the evil
more tolerable, will certainly increase
the evil which it is striving to miti-
gate. To improve this social defect.
charitable efforts are to be concen-
trated to remove the cause of poverty
and vice, which is intemperance, ig-
norance and idleness-
sit is, therefore. advisable for char
liable organizations and charitable in
dividuals to concentrate all efforts to-
ward the solution of this vexing prob.
lem. 1 will admit that in our city the
obstacles placed in the way to block
ade all systematic efforts in this di-
rection are almost unsurmountable
when we consider that the local au-

thorities encourage and protect in
temperance and vice. Notwithstand
ing this. it is our duty and privilege
to help the unfortunate of our COM
munity by placing within their reach
the opportunity TO help themselves,
or. in other words, to encourages de-
pendents to earn an honest living by
honest labor; and. indeed, this seems
to me the most feasible method in
dealing with this vexing problem, and
the only way to find the worthy poor.
.sIt is a matter of fact that al
most all charitable organizations
admit that this is the only way to
deal with this problem, and yet. as a
matter of mere convenience. charit-
able organizations will distribute
clothing, fuel and provisions quite in
Discriminatory. regardless of whether
|it is wise or unwise. simply because
it is most convenient. The Associ
ated Charities of our city has dis
cussed this problem, but could NOT
reach a satisfactory solution. Many
branches of industry have been talked
of as practical in their application
but were dropped when found that it
was cheaper to furnish provisions
than labor, and at present this great
Question is unsolved.
Work for the Idle.
''As one who has spent years of toll
and sacrifice in charitable work,
have had an opportunity to study
practical methods of charity. / have
found the most practical and profit
able methods of employing the un-
employed. The carpet loom is in
many cities quite prominent indus
try. and, indeed, in its application
very simple, so as to employ anyone
that desires to earn a living by honest
labor. 1 would recommend this in.
dustry to the Associated Charities OF
Rock Island, the adoption of which
would be step in the right direction
in helping the worthy poor to help
themselves.
"The machinery used in the manu-
facture of rag carpets and rugs is not
Expensive. It's operation is so simple
that anyone can learn it. The material
used in the production of this class OF
carpet is Inexpensive. and yet the
product of this hand carpet loom is
in constant demand. Systematically
operated it will not only defray al
expenses. but will give net profit.
"This, in my opinion, is practical
method to relieve dependency in
our community. 1t will furnish
labor to anyone that needs employ
ment to relieve immediate wants.
1 hope this suggestion will result in
the adoption of a successful method oi
labor that will diminish. if moi
eliminate, dependency in our com
munity."

ARCHITECTS TO PREPARE PLANS
Work of Gathering Funds to Pur-

ing Satisfactorily.

The board of education held a
special meeting last evening to con-
slider the question of rebuilding the
high school. 1t was decided to adver-
tise for bids for the clearing away of
the debris of the old building. to be
completed by April 15. and to instruct
local architects to prepare plans for a

Securing New Library.
The High School Library association
held a meeting Saturday at the home
of Mrs. Julia Rosentield, and the Ia
dies expressed satisfaction at the re-
suit of the canvass for funds as con-
Quoted thus far.
Representatives of the Alumni asso-
citation and of the Athon basketball
team were also present and expressed
their decision to work for the same
object.
The ladies abandoned the idea of a
house-to-house canvass, as-very many
families are reached through the
alumni. and it was hoped that the
young ladies would find ready sale
for their tickets to the musicales to be
given for the same object among those
who could not contribute larger sums.
All others who desire to help in this
work. whether in larger or smaller
sums, are asked to send their con-
tributions to Mrs. l.. Simon, who is

Collecting the Money.

be collected as quickly as possible, as oi
course cash payment for books must
be made in order to insure good terms

The alumni decided to ask for sub:

lectors were appointed from each
class.

sum NAV be raised by them to make
fitting gift to the library, and ar

GUs:-My thoughts in these few idle

over the past half hundred years or
more of Reck Islands history. and
comparing the life. ways and methods
adopted by our townspeople in those
early days, long before the war, and
the advent of the telegraph and rail-
road with the conditions of today.
Then the source of travel and the path
over which commerce found its way
through the Mississippi valley was on
the broad bosom of the father of
waters. .Old citizens can remember
the great steamers that came from the
south loaded to the water's edge with
passengers and freight to be distrib-
uted at towns along the river, thence
to be hauled by teams 80 and 100
miles inland to country towns.
/ have seen thousands of tons of
merchandise of all kinds, wagons,
plows, harrows, hoes and rakes, with

coNTAoIoN AND INFECTION.

La Grippe Is Infectious But Not Con-
tagious.
Contagious diseases are communi-
Gated from one person to another; in
fictitious diseases are conveyed through
the air.
Smallpox is a contagious disease;
la grippe is infectious. When an epi-
demic of the grip is prevailing it is in
the air we breathe and no one is safe.
The only safeguard is to keep the
system in the highest possible condi-
tion of health, and on the first appear
ance of cold in the head to use some
safe antiseptic like Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets freely; a tablet taken every
hour or two for couple of days will
be sufficient to break up the attack.
La grippe attacks the weake est part
of the system, it may be the lungs,
heart, liver, stomach or kidneys, but
wherever it f.ally locates it invar-
iably starts with cold in the head and
throat, or in other words, the disease
at the beginning is acute catarrh.
This is the reason Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets have been so successful in
breaking up attacks of the grip. The
antiseptic properties of the remedy
destroy the germs before the whole
system is thoroughly infected.
DR.. Admission says: Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets being free from cocaine
and harmful drugs, should be freely
used at this time of year on the first
appearance of grip symptoms.
They check the excessive catarrhal
secretions. stop the fever and prevent
pneumonia.
They are composed of antiseptics
and may be used by little children as
freely as by adults and with great
benefit.
DR.. Lewiston says: My usual pre-.
scription for the grip is Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets, which can be found al
all drug stores. Keep to the house
for day or two and use the tablets
freely, and ] have never heard any
complaint of failure to cure.

Georgetown, Del. April II. AT Q most
ing of the Sussex County Levy Court here
to-day an investigating commit toe was
appointed to look into the conditions OF
tho towns Of Lower Delaware, where bus.
mess is suffering through qunraltining
the towns for the smallpox. This action
wa, taken after commissioners had heard
a report from DR.. 4. W. Cooper, presi-
dent of the State Board OF Health, and
DR.. Alexander Lowber. secretary. In
which they urged immediate action TO
raise tho quarantine.
Since the outbreak OF the disease in Sea
ford, about five weeks ago. several towns
throughout SUSSEX county have beoa dc.
barred from traffic with neighboring
towns, and now that ihs tdsease has al
most disappeared, conditions are becoln,
ing serious, as provisions are low ana
business Is seriously impaired. Not only
lie this he condition in the lowtr part OF
Delaware but Maryland authorities have
quarantined against the Delaware towns
because Of the appearance OF smallpox IN

distressing phase of the Developments is
that tho towns are jealousy driving on

yet the Inhabitants are still barred OUT
