that childhood impressions are lasting
and it is well that the children OF
Rock Island should have SUCH an ad-
mirable source 0f literary inspiration
as the cosy little room which the Ii
brary offers for their especial use.
The room has many tables and chairs
and these chairs are usually occupied
by children who are busily engaged
in reading the current iunvenile lit
crature.
1t is figured that about two chill
dren out of every 10 who draw books
from the library, stop and read the
children magazines. The children's
library numbers about 1000 volumes,
and these books have been placed up
on the shelves in Alphabetical order.
Both the boys and the girls have
their favoritc authors, and often il
has been noticed. that the little girls
have drawn books written for boys.
I'm fact. it seems that most of the
boys books stand in good rcpute with
the girls, but the boys viii have none
of the girls books. Favorite authors
with the boys are: G. r. Eenty. Oliver
Optic, J. T. Trowbrid@e and Ralph IL.
Barber. The girls read Helen Reed.
Louise Alcott, Ann Chapman Ray and
Mrs. |. y. Alden, and others.

Mangled on the Rock

BODY IS CARRIED 200 YARDS
Little Fellow Meets Fate While Aid

Papers.

y frightful accident occurred We'd
nesday night on the Rock Island
tracks at Colona, Arthur Block, the
J0-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Block, of that place, being the
victim, having his life crushed out and
his little body terribly mangled.
The latter had often aided his broth
er in the distribution of the Chicago
evening papers, which they got off of
No. %, and Arthur was performing
his nightly mission when the accident
occurred. No. % passenger had just
passed the semaphore to the west of
the ColOna depot. when the lad left
the building where he had delivered
the watchman's paper. The roar and
rumble of the departing train drown
ed for the. lad the noise of the Rocky
Mountain Limited. which was bearing
down from the west at about fifty
miles an hour. and without even the
knowledge that danger and death
were confronting him, he stepped
from the north to the south track, to
he instantly hurled into eternity.
Body Badly Crushed.
His body was carried over 200 yards
before the engine. apparently salts

his mangled body to one side. and his
head. with distorted eyes and badly
crushed. to the other side
His little body was picked up by
loving hands and carried to his home
but a block from where the accident
occurred. Arthur was a bright. amb-
tious little fellow and a pet with all
around the depot. The funeral oc-

FOR BOOKS
ChiIdren's Department at the
Public Library is a Busy
Place.
THEIR TASTES ARE VARIED
Two Thousand Volumes From Which
TO Make Their Sc
lection.

The children's department of the
new library was nearly filed yester-
day afternoon. Two little boys stood
before q shelf of books and from the
manner in which they handled each
book and peered eagerly at the titles,
it was easy to see that something
troubled them.
''Oh. say Billie" said the smaller one
of the two, as he picked up a certain
wcll-knuWn juvenile book, here
IL swell book
The other boy ga2cd a moment at
the book
''Gwan, Go on. that #iut no good,
look at the pickchers."
And the book was put back to its
place on the shelves. and the boys
selected another book to read. Chill
dren have their tastes i'm literature
as well as their elders and il is re
markable how they hit upon the au-
thors that are attractive and whose
works possess a uniform degree of
interest.
The book that was thus condemned
by billie" because of it's pictures
will never he read by its condemner.
''Hillie" has formed for that particu-
lar book an antipathy that will en-
dure. He has conceived idea Of its
contents, which however erroneous
it may be, has the rcdeeming virtue of
being seIf-satisfying. 1t is unioubt-
cdly true that from the early age of
youth up to the period Of adolescence
our great library likes and Gislikes
are formed and some one OF the ques-
tions which should he answered by

casion to leave her work. II is true

At the recent Three-Eye meeting
the magnates decided that hereafter
an umpire filming Il player must speci-
fically tell said player what he has
done, and also notify the manager of
the team that the fine has been inn
posed.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-12-18

Something toward enforcing the
iThree-Eye salary limit by making void
and returning a couple of contracts
where the salary called for was in
his estimation too high. The two new
members of the league are the ones
to have such contracts disapprOyed.
In the case of Springfield it is said
the players salary called for $50
month The player in question is
one of the best known in the Three
Eve and there is a large rumor about
that since his contract has been void
he will sign another at a less figure
with another club, and that Rock Isl
and fans Will be particularly interest
ed in the news when it is ready to
be given out. Before he can do that
however. there are certain restric-
tions to be removed. But of course
this is all rumor.
Ross Thornton was given his final
release under certain conditions, and
one Of these conditions provided that
he should not use Clevenger, the In
diana university star. at Rock Island.
Thornton was sent to Bloomington,
Ind. to sign Clevenger. as the two are
close friends. but the university man
could not make up his mind to play
professional ball. In case he does so
decide. under the stipulation with
Thornton. he will play nowhere in
the Three-Eye except with the Com
mOdOTes.
Four star baseball players of the
Pacific Coast league have been signed
to play with the Brooklyn National
league team next year, according to
Manager Hanlon. They are Alum
ley. center fielder of the Seattle club;
Frank T. Dillon. second baseman of
the Los Angeles team; and Phil Ma
deau and DeNan Buren,. respectively
left fielder and center fielder of the
Portland club Dillon formerly play
ed with the St. Louis club. Because of
the fact that the coast league is not
included in the national agreement
the new Brooklyn players cannot be
held in the west.
Capt. ConnCrs. of Bloomington. is
again demonstrating that when he
gets a player who shows class he
hangs onto him. even though it may
be an injustice to the player to keep
him in minor company. This il trait
in the Bloomington manager that has
always been depIored by the players,
many of whom would not sign with
him just on this account. The latest

whereby Mullaney expected TO play

Hunky Hines, who has been signed
for manager by Dubuque, still has the
eye that was injured some time ago
bandaged. One of the papers in his
home town-Rockford-is authority
for the statement there is still doubt
whether Hunlly viii ever be able TO

able he Will never play baseball again.

y topic in baseball circles in cen

nation of the All-Iowa league. The
failure OF Waterloo to break into the
Three-Eye league appears to have
MADE certain the realizc ton Of those
who for Severed years who have hoped
for an ell Iowa organization. James
Meyers. manager Of last seasons In

The towns most likly to com in are
Waterloo. Fort Dodge, Boone, Web

revival of populism. or. to be more
accurate, revival of the peoples par
ty, standing upon ground which the
democratic party should logically oc-
cupy-"equal rights to ali, special
privileges to none" ~
AS to the wage workers, the various
socialist factions claim to furnish the
only political home for tho-e who are
"class-conscious' proletarians-with
nothing to sell but their labor-pow-
er" The Independent has no quar-
rel with these socialist factions. Ev-
cry ''class conscious" convert repre-
sents that much of loss for plutoc-
racy, and makes it possible for the
middle class" to finally win--because
plutocracy could not stand for day
without the support of those it preys
uron. But great many Of the wage
workers are also small home-owners,
and producers in small way o. some
thing else than mere 'labor-power;;'
end their interests lie with those who
compose the mass Of the democratic
party. So il the democratic party re-
turn to the leadership Of trust mag
mates, these wage-workers properly be-
long to the peoples party.
Such is the political situation today.

/ Excerpts from "A Call to Arms"

The immediate thing is to get to-

following proposition:
A conference at Denver on Mon
day, July n. at 2 p. m.
You are hereby cordially invited to
| be present at such conference. This
means every reformer in the United
States who loves God and the COM
mon people more than he does any
party whatsoever.
| The conference will be unofficial and
informal. 1t will have no walls about

belong will come. want fusionists.
mid-rcaders, advanced democrats, sim
! gle takers. lovers of liberty. We will
! haze an old-fashioned love feast. 1t
| matters not how many or how few
come, important results cannot but
flow from our meeting
The reason that Denver is chosen Is
that is is convenient to the popufist
strongholds of Minnesota, Kansas,
Nebraska, Texas, the mountain states
and the Pacific coast. From all points
east there are half-rates to Denver
all summer.
The reason that July 27 is chosen
is that it Is the natural time for a
vacation. Denver is the coolest and
most delightful spot on the continent
for you to take that vacation. To
those attending the conference free
trips will be arranged into the noun

hereafter, there is no room for the
peoples party. But among the s0-
called leaders of the democratic party
are men whose interests really lie
with the republican party. They are
republicans Of the Mark Hanna brand,
but affiliate with the democrats in
order to keep up the appearance of an
opposition party and thus prevent
union of ali those whose interests are
opposed to those of the beneficiaries of
special privileges This false "oppo-
sition" was kept up without break
since the rebellion until in 1896 pop
ulism compelled the democratic party
to get back where it belongs.
Indications are by no means lack
ing to show that among the trust
nlagnate leaders of democracy, now
that the peoples party is apparently
disintegrated, there is disposition to
return to the old-time tactics and to
continue the old fight of TweeGledum
against Weedledee-'tariff for rev.

lection to labor" (God save the marll!)

(olginal Poem read By Dr. Hooard s. Taylor Of Chicago
at the Fai,vteW Fourth of july Celcbratton.)

When Liberty. wounded, betrayed and oppressed
By the insolent, tyrannous kings of the world,
Fled over the sea to the ultimate West
And, here, in her refuge her banner unurled;
When the hopes of mankind in the balances lay
And the unborn, wondering centuries stood
To witness Americas Passover Day
And the sign of her doorlnte prinkled with blood,
Then Liberty menaced by envy and hate,
From the seats of the mighty the of great
With tocsin and summons
Called forward her commons
And marshaled and made them her Pillars of State.
They were hunters and herdsmen and fishermen bold
They were homespun minue-men, springing to arms,
With faith that could neither be bought be sold
And these were the paladins, mobiles and knights
Who conquered King George and his hreling host;
Who penned with their weapons charter of rights
And made republic humanity's boast.
Who gave to posterty riches untold
heritage greater than mountains of gold.
1t Is no mans nor woman's.

For them and their children to have and to hold
blend of all races In many creeds bred,
They were fused in the whteheated furnace of war.
United, they followed where Liberty led
As the wise men once followed the Bethlehem
: Go question the fag-it will tell in breath
How its tricoor hues by their spirit were planned
That the white is their honor the blue Is their faith,
And the red is their valor and land.
Go search through the myths of the ancens quest
OF their builders of empire, their braves and best
But Grecans and Romans
Are dwarfed by the commons
Who founded the Great Commonwealth of the West.
The fathers are gone-has their faith pershed too9
Has the spirit that moved them declined decayedf
Have their lofty ideals grown dim and untrue
In the hurrying scramble of pleasure and trader
Have the fanes of our patriot altars and graves
Sunken downward to mix with nsensibe clods9
Are we parting into and slaves
With only fierce Mammon and Moloch for gods?
Ah, no. By our bells and our jubilant guns,
By the stars and the stripes proud story runsl
By score of good omens
We still have commons
And the hearts ofour Fathers still throb their Sons
