accomplishments every
day. Perhaps the cover which ac-
companies this issue of The Argus
illustrates this advancement quite az
well as does the general character of
the publication.
The years that have gone into the
record of time since the first copy
of The Argus appeared have been
among the most stirring in
all history The files of The
Argus tell day by day of some of
the greatest wars of all time, not the
least terrible of which was our own
civil strife, while of more recent
date occurred the Spanish-American
disturbance, which. while not so
serious in itself. served nevertheless
to change in Il large degree the map
of the globe. I'm the progress of the
world since 1851 have Occurred some
of the most serious and alarming in
dustriaI disturbances at home and
abroad that have ever been known.
Wonderful accomplishments in in
dustry and revelations in invention
such as might readily have startled
mankind. Developments in commerce.
traffic and communication, in the
accumulation of wealth, in all the
higher arts aud sciences and in
every field of human endeavor
are recited ia the simple news
paper story of those fifty years.
The world has been revolutiOnized
since The Argus came to keep track
of its movements and record its do
ings. Men in every walk and station
of life have come, have play
ed their various parts. Fame has
crowned them. and they have passed
on. Three presidents of the United
States have been slain by the assas-
sins I.and. New issues have developed
in the arena of politics, new ques-
tionS and theories have commanded
popular attention and consideration,
and conditions have appeared not
dreamed of in the philosophy of fifty
years ago. The silent pages tell an
inspiring story of the long years that
are gone Who knows what the com
ing half century will add?

Argus feels i'm having reached the

The Mission of the Newspaper.

None of life's pursuits has its mis-
sion more clearly defined than has
the newspaper. Every properly con-
Quoted publication must recognize
its responsibility as well as its in
fuence. While seeking to be con-
servative to the degree of fairness
it should not falter in the discharge
of its duty. 1t should not content
itself in being merely a. reflex of pub
lie sentiment. Ii should be "a mould
er and leader of public sentiment
IL should seek first of all to dis
charge without bias or prejudice its
function as a newspaper by giving
timely and faithful portrayal of cur
rent events both local and at large.
Thereafter it should participate in
the formation and leadership of
movements for the betteTment of the
conditions of society. 1t should aim
for the advancement of the city it
represents, to earnestly uphold those
principles. political and otherwise, for
which it stands, and in all things
and at all times to maintain fairness
and Justice in all its relations with
the public.
The newspaper must essentially be
abreast of the times. 1t must pro-
gress and il must be the champion
of progress. 1t must be tireless in
its exertions and energies. In
word, it must always be on hand.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-04-26

attached to Rock Island to find fault
with the city or it's citizens as class.
1t merely wants the city to accom-
plish those undertakings that
the city owes to itself. 1t
is not many years since
The Argus referred to new railroad
stations and new court house as
among the needs of Rock Island and
i'm the same connection spoke of the
means by which both could be pro-
vided. There were many who did not
believe either project feasible. But
both improvements have since come.
Then there was the suggestion of u
new theatre 1t, too, was held To be
entirely impracticable. But after
awhile it was decided to make at least
a trial. Rock Island has today the
new theatre that was for 50 long re-
garded as Il castle i'm the air. There
have been plenty of other accom-
plishments equally as important, as
this issue of The Argus relates, each
in its turn testifying to what can be
done where there is a Will.
The time is at hand for another
awakening in Rock Island. There
are two things that Rock Island is
today Enthusiastically in need of-fac-
tory sites and more mercantile build
ings. The city is placing itself at Il
disadvantage through neglect in both
these respects. The Argus is strong
in the conviction 50 often expressed
by il that if the local capital that
every year seeks investment and
often umprofitab ly-away from Rock
Island were invested in judicious
schemes here. the venture would
prove advantageous. The public
spirit that will throw open accessible
territory for factory purposes will
bring plenty of new Industries to
Rock Island, and the public spirit
that will provide new business blocks
will keep the trade that belongs here
from going elsewhere.
And the public spirit that finds
expression in both these undertake
ings will not only hasten the day
when Rock Island shall become II
great city. but will reap abundant
reward in the goods of this life.
Rock Island should be true to itself.

Then and Now.

When the government first entered
upon its policy of territorial aggran-
dizement people holding TO the tenets
of the party in power secuted the
idea of this country ever taking up
on itself colonial, much less an i'm
perial form of government. 1t was
held as a species of the grussest SLAM
der upon cherished American institu-
tions to even intimate such thing.
Yet quietly. steadily but as surely as
night has followed day. since the
conclusion of the treaty of Paris the
country has adapted itself To the adj
ministratiun of the same government
without consent beyond the seas
that the fathers of the republic re-
belled against.
Less than five years ago the people
of this county were denOuncing
Weylerism,as practiced ON Spain sub
iects in the island of Cuba as Il form
of cruelty that no civilized nation
could ignore. So enormous was the
brutality Practiced by the soldiers of
the imperial government beyond the
seas on its subjects in the Antilles
that the United States finally drove
Spain from the western hemisphere
and in addition seized the Philippine
archipelago over in Asiatic waters.
This in the name of Justice, human
ity and civilization. When Dewey's
guns Numbered at Manila's gates it
was hailed as the dawn of freedoms
morn far off there among benighted
people. In their delight at prospect
of release from bondage these trusting
people united with the forces of the
United States against a common foe.
And so to recompense them for their
loyalty we bought them. And today
American army officers are being
tried at Manila for the same bar
barous practices that Weyler and
other officers inflicted upon the sub
jects of Spain in islands adjacent to
our shores but few years ago.
The American people were indig
nant at thought of Imperialism. but
they finally became reconciled to the
inevitable. They were shocked when
they heard of the brutal treatment of
Filipinos who are fighting for the
same. principle Cuba struggled for so
many years. But officers i'm the army
of conquest of the United States adj
nit all the charges. So the people
must accept them and become used
to il. 1t is part of the iron rule of
Imperialism which the party having
in its keeping the administration of
the government of the United States
has revived in one quarter of the
globe at the same moment that the
real spirit of the republic has driven
il from another.
