IMPROVEMENT
FOR SOUTH ROCK ISLAND

The retail grocery trade of J. p.
Siemon q Co.. located at the old fair
grounds in South Rock Island. has
grown to such an extent during the
past three years that W. C. Maucker.
the owner of the property. has decid-
ed TO erect fine two-story brick
building. 32 feet front and so feet
deep, to cost about $1,000. work to
commence at once.
Another. noted Improvement is the
reorganization of the old firm, which
was composed of ]. p Siemon and w
{. Maucker, but as Mr.. Maueker can
give no time 10 the business, and as
the new firm proposes to carry a gen
eraI merchandise line and require ex-
perienced help. they have received and
accepted a proposition from Fred c.
Davis. son of Ferdinand Davis. to buy
a third interest in the business. Mr..
Davis will give additional strength to
the firm. as he is an experienced gro
Ger, being honest and capable, having
been employed by the old firm for the
past three years. The new firm will
be Siemon, Davis & Co.

CASE UNDER AMUSEMENT

In the tax ferret injunction case, in
which Charles Stevens, of Green River.
Henry county, seeks to prevent the
collection of back taxes through the
efforts of George Manlove, a hearing
was had yesterday before Judge

Looneyism.
FAILURE AS A POLITICIANS
His Methods Are Denounced-Let
the Republicans Keep
Him.

Democrats of long standing and in
fiuence from all parts of the city have
during the past few days commended
the course The Argus has taken in
repudiating to the extent of its inter
est in the party, Looneyism in the
conduct of party affairs in Rock ISL
and city and county. The fact that
The Argus. in common with all demo-
cratic influences in the county who
have the higher and better influences
of the party at heart. has declined,
positively and uncompromisingly to
longer recognize the claims of John
=. LoOney upon the party, or to give
countenance to any proceeding in the
name of democracy which may bear
the stamp of his influence, is hailed
with satisfaction and confidence. This
action involves a duty which every
loyal representative of the party
must come to realize, and il is both
gratifying and fortunate that so many
of the party rank and file have at
once come to this conclusion.
Proven Objectionable Element.
Mr.. Looney has proven an. objection
able element not only in the conyen-
tions and caucuses of the party, but
in the role of leadership he has es-
tablished himself as a would-be die
tator. a disrupter and Il fizzle. 1t
would therefore be an evidence of
abandonment, and of political suicide
for the party to under any circum-
stances hesitate to renounce as well
as denounce any proceeding conducted
in the party's name that would have
back of it the influence of Looney or
any of his followers. Self respecting
democracy will not be bound by
Looneyism; on the contrary. it will
insist that those who owe their poiti-
cal standing or existence to John
Looney, look to him absolutely for
support and recognition. Mr.. Looney
identity has influence with the re-
publican city administration in Rock
Island. To that organization he now
belongs. and 10 the support of that
organization he should devote himself
exclusively.
1t is well written that no man can
serve two masters. The democrats are
not inclined to dispute or TO crave the
Looney mastery in any sense.
Let Looney stay in the republican
camp.

The Emigration of 1903.

Idaho: the far West represented by South
California, and the Southwest, repre-
sented by Texas and Louisiana. Within two
years Mr.. Mckinney organized force of
LOO competent, energetic colonization
agents, who carefully selected mailing lists,
and more than 2O00,000 pieces of literature
were distributed. Stereopticon views and
moving pictures were obtained from every
portion of the district which the bureau is
seeking to colonize, and during 1903 the sales
of land to actual settlers in Texas and Lou
isiana, made through the bureau, aggre-
gated $4,000 acres. In Oregon, Washington
and Idaho the population increased about 20
per cent The bureau sold and settled a
total of 627, ,264 acres. and it is stated that in
oregon alone fully 25,00O people found homes
last year, 75 per cent. of them being secured
through the efforts of the bureau.
