ESSONS or HISTORY.
Candidate Davis Revives an Issue thai
Were Better Let Alone,

VSHC CIV AC AAohGs
Liberty and free government have al
ways been secured at the cost of great
sacrifices; but history teaches us that both
can be easily lost without the knowledge
of the people.'-Hon. III. G. Davis, Demo
cratic candidate for Vice President.
Foreigners may not understand this
as it is understood by the old soldiers
and sailors and citizen survivors Of the
civil war. Read a history Of that period.
Learn what were the sacrifices of this
country in retaining the liberty and
free government" deliberately conspired
away, without the knowledge of the
people," by a Democrat in the Presiden-
tial chair. Easily lost was that ''liber-
t. and free government referred to by
Mr.. Davis. 1t has been, for years, a
dominant issue-this antagonism between
Patriotism and Democracy as the latter
now exists in America; but forty years
ago it nearly destroyed this government
of ours, made tens Of thousands Of wild
ows and orphans, and gave the land a
great army of crippled soldiers whose
scars were vouchers for heroic SACRIFICES.
To insinuate in words and style thst
amount to an accusation, that Mr.. Roose-
welt, or the party that upholds him.
desires, intends, or has the slightest
leaning towards the acts Of Buchanan
and the Democratic party that backed
him. revives that issue. 1t is not the
Democratic party that can fifty preach
loyalty and patriotism to the present gem
Grafton. The sentiment of Mr.. Davis is
all right IN tho abstract: but, coming
from him as a representative of the po-
litical faction that tried to wreck the
nation. it is a proof of the hypocrisy that
will pervade the government should his
party come into power.

of the proposed federal irrigation works,
it has been officially announced that the
letter of the national irrigation act will
be strictly adhered to, and no person
who holds over 100 acres will be furnish
ed with water from the government
works for lands in excess of that mount.
The strict enforcement of this rule will
compel owners of large tracts to subdi-
vide them in small holdings and sell
them at a reasonable figure.

LIE. Well Enonrh Alone.

The bank ciearings at the principal
cities of the United States for the first
week in October afford a striking critic
rion of Republican prosperity. and show
how every section Of the United States
is a beneficiary of Republican policies.

over the corresponding week last year.
Following are some of the cities where
during the week there were specially in
teresting evidences of Republican pros
perity:

Irrigation and forestry are inseparab be
and must 60 together. President Roose-
welt has well said hat without forestry
irrigation must fail. Without adequate
protection of the sources of water sup
ply, the great irrigation projects about to
be commenced by the national govern
ment would prove far short in the bene-
fits their construction is expected to
bring to the arid West.

ATWELL, MISSING FARMER,
CAME IN THIS DIRECTION

At last a man has been found who
directed George Atwell, the missing
Cornwall farmer, to the train on the
Monday that he disappeared from
Genesco. The young mans name is
Clyde Gierhart. Constable Costello
heard that the young man had seen
AtweH the day he went away, and
Gierhart was induced to go before a
justice and tell his story. Gierhart
and Atwell played pool together in a
saloon the afternoon of his disappear
ance. Later in the afternoon Gier-
hart met Atwell near the railroad
crossing on State street and the Corn
wall farmer inquired the time of the
departure of trains for the west. He
was told he could get a westbOund
train at S:40. and he said that would
suit him. as he wanted to go west.
From this and other statements that
Atwell is believed to have made. II is
now believed that he has gone west.

Check for So, 36o.3 80 From Fred.
erick Weyerhaeuser for
the Library
RECEIVED BY THE BOARD
Brings Total Amount Given for New
Building to Over
100000.

Col. c. L. Walker. president of the
Rock Island library board. today re-
ceived a check from Frederick Wey-
erhaeuser. of st. Paul. for S2.369.32.
the amount needed to pay all out
standing obligations incurred in the
erection of the new library building.
This is the third gift outright from
Mr.. Weyerhaeuser. in addition to the
loan of $4,000 he advanced with his
gift of $4,000 to make the erection
Of the building possible. 1t was early
seen that the original amount avail
able for the building was not sufti-
cient to put up such n structure as
had been planned and such as the
board and MIR. WeyeThaeuSer agreed
the city should have. Though the
plans were changed as much as posi-
BILE in the interests of economy. in
creased cost in materials and labor
and additions that had to be made
kept raising the figures.
Makes Additional Gifts.
Mr.. Weyerhaeuscr. being acquaint
ed with the situation, some time ago
gave $1,000 more. and f. c. y. Denk-
mann, of this city. gave n like amount.
This was used. and still not all the
bills were paid. Consequently Mr..
Weyerhaeuser's generosity was again
appealed to. He agreed to see
the project through. footing the bill
for additional expenditures. which he
was Informed in an off-hand estimate
would be about $1,000.
That amount was sent from ST.
Paul couple Of weeks ago. Mr. Wey-
erhaeuser being in the south at the
time. When he returned home he ask
ed for information as to the exact
amount needed. and il was explained
to him that the board still lacked
$2.369.32, and the check received today
was forwarded promptly.
