beautified the grounds in several

The movement started by the Tri-
City Press club for the erection of a
national monument at Rock Island
arsenal is already bearing fruit. At
the last meeting of the club COM
mittee was appointed to proceed with
the undertaking, and the following is
found in yesterdays Davenport Dem
Ocrat:
For the first time new drive was
opened on the island of Rock Island
Sunday and it promises to become
one of the most popular on that ma
tional park. The guards at the main
west entrance took pains to call the
attention of all visitors in carriages

river bank with many a wind from

er his choice between going to the
left and reaching the Arsenal row of
shops. or turning to the right and
coming down the Main avenue TO the

This new drive is more than beau
tiful in its scenic interest. II not
only gives one of the best sunset
views TO be obtained anywhere in the
region; but in the course of few
minutes drive there are more his
toric spots than are TO he found in all
the western country. This is rather
a sweeping statement but il is true.
In using Sunset drive from Davenport
one passes over the site of old Fort
Armstrong. completed 81 years ago.
Nothing now remains to show where
many a chapter of vivid history was
written. Indian legends cover this
part of the island and they go back
to time before history begins. The
names of famous generals. of soldiers
who afterward became presidents are
associated with this end of the pres
ent government domain.
"a little more than half way from
where Sunset drive leaves Main ave

covered Pile of ragged rock. This Is
all that remains of the first bridge
across the Mississippi river anywhere
from its source To its mouth. This
bridge was completed and trains be-
gan running more than 10 years ago.
That old pier is worth studying as it
recalls the battle fought between the

Ohio. Senator. lauds him 10 the skies
for his commendabie traits OF charac-
ter and suggests him as the torch
bearer for the Republicans in the
campaign Of 1904.
Says Senator Scott I'm all my ex-
perience with men, and il has been
extensive, / have found no
faithful to duty, mo generous, more
self sacrificing and more patriotic 10
his country than Senator Hanna, He
is what / would call an all round
citizen, a pure, clean and religious
gentleman.
He has been traduced and carl
catured more than any other public
man in the history Of this republic,
not only by the opposition press.
but by the papers of his own party,
and | say shame upon them.
"He has done greater service for
his party than any other man living,
and / am one who believes he should
have greater honors bestowed upon
him.
Ex-senator Hanna by his great success
in business and politics, and on @
count of his varied experiences if for
no other reasons, is the logical candi-
date for President, and it would not
be at all surprising if he is leading
the Republican hosts in 1904"
As to the candidacy Of Vice Presi-
dent Roosevelt Senator Scott was non
committal. His strong Endorsement
of Senator Hanna is taken here as a
.~'feeler" in West Virginia, and it is
the opinion among the forces that
they have already begun a campaign
for McKinley's friend.
