THE AMERICAN COURSE.
A Policy that Works to the Advantax re
of Commercial Interests.

We are what we have become, and we
propose to hold our interests as world
power for the benefit of the American
people. This is the Republican program.
Hence the recent Shanghai incident.
China is an enormous nation occupying
an enormous copatry, just now in state
Of dissolution or reconstruction-no one
can tell which. The various nations with
various interests look upon its territory
with longing eyes, but it does not seem
best, with tie interests Of all considered,
that it should be dismembered. 1t APP
pears to be best for the interests of all
the other nations of the world that it
should be aided rather than divided.
This course has been decided upon by the
leading nations OF the world, following
the suggestion and with the assistance of
the present Republican administration Of
this country. This attitude is certainly
right morally, and, in the long run, must
be right as to material interests, particu-
larly for the people of the United States.
Russia and Japan are at war. There
has arisen an incident which is some
what an anomaly in international affairs.
Warships have fed into neutral port of
China and other warships have pursued
lnen. Onuer the laws OF nations no
battle may occur in a neutral port, such
as that OF Shanghai. The United States,
taking the initiative, has promptly inter-
veped to see that no violation of the laws
of nations may occur, and has done this
because of the helplessness of China, vast
as the empire is, to enforce all proper in
ternational obligations in its own har-
bors.
This is but In keeping with the tone of
what the United States under the pres
ent administration has done before. 1t
suggested and induced an agreement be-
tween the great nations that China
should not be dismemhered. Having tax
en- the initiative in this respect. it was
but right and proper that we should take
the initiative in seeing to it that what
was suggested and built up by us should
be enforced. This has been done.
That is the way the present admins
tration of the government is doing things
That is the way it will continue TO do
things. The doing of this is for the
greatest good for all the commercial in
terests and other interests OF all the
world. The doing of this implies and in
wolves immediate executive action by the
administration of the United States. Ii
Is for the good of the world.
Imagine such prompt, sensible and
forceful action under the administration
of man like Parker. admitting for
moment the possibility of his election.

ROOSEVELT AND FARMERS.
why the President Is Ad nnired by
ARricuIturists.
(San Francisco Call.

Il
Through the many expressions Of Pres
ident Roosevelt runs a hearty note Of
appreciation for the homely and simple
features Of life as found in the country
and on the farm. He said to the rugged
people Of Maine in 1902: THE man on
the farm more than any OF our citizens
to-day, Is called upon continually to ex-
ercise the qualities which we like to
think Of as typical Of the United States
throughout its histOry-the qualities of
rugged Independence, masterful resolu
ton and individual energy and resource
fulness. He works hard, for which no
man is to be ptied, and often he lives
hard, which may not be pleasant, but his
life Is passed in healthy surroundings,
which tend to develop a fine type Of citi-
zenship. In the country, moreover, the
conditions are such as to allow a closer
touch between man and man than Is
often found the case in the city Men
feel more wildly the underlying sense OF
brotherhood and community OF interest"
And again; THE man who tills his
own farm, whether on the prairies or in
the woodland, the man who grows what
we eat and the raw material of what we
wear, still exists more nearly under the
conditions which obtained when the en-
battled farmers of 1776 made this coun-
try nation than is true Of any others
Of our people. In country like ours it
Is fundamentally true that the well-being
OF the tiller of the soil and of the wage
worker IL the well-being Of the State"
Roosevelt's vital touch with things is
always responsive TO contact with the
natural conditions that characterize life
on the farm. In an allied vocation he
resorted to the wilderness to rid himself
Of the serious handicap OF a fral ply
sique, and emerged from that rugged ex-
perienre physically a type Of the Ameri-
can man. firm. broad-shoudered, deep
chested and with endurance equal to the
performance OF the hardest tasks. His
contacts with the people have inspired
his philosophy, expressed in this: "An
American who is to make his way in
America should be brought up among
his fellow Americans" That is true, for
what can be expected of a man, expat-
rated in his childhood, educated and
reared abroad. with no knowledge OF his
country and his countrymen?

SECOND TERM QUESTION.
Rooseveit's Claim TO the Presidency
Stronger than Any other Mans

Uiansas City Times. independently
If President Roosevelt had been elect
cd to the office he now occupies, Judge
parker's declaration that, il chosen Pres
ident. he would not be a candidate for
reelection. might have some special
weight in the present canvass among
those who are believers in the one-term
principle. But President Roosevelt came
into Office by accident. He was made
Vice President against his personal
wishes and political Judgment. He was
duty bound and he voluntarily pledged
himself 10 carry out. 80 far as possible
the policies OF his predecessor If he
has done well, he is especially entitled
to the votes OF the people. Under the
circumstances his claim to the presidency
is stronger than that OF any ordinary
candidate could be. for il he has faith
fully fulfilled the office to which he was
called by accident, he should be honored
with the same Office by election. His
present mcumbency of the presidential
post should at least serve as reliable
probationary service. Ii is for the peo-
pie to answer to his administration, for
Ii il has been equal to or above the aver
age, or satisfactory generally, he has
stronger claims than any other man
could have. for he asks an Endorsement
where another would ask for trust
And this is the way the country Is likely
to look at the situation. President Roose-
welt has made himself tremendously
strong with the masses. He has con
WINGED the nation of his honesty, courage
and capacity. He has pleased vastly
more Democrats than he has offended Re
publcians And both the admiration he
has aroused on the one hand and the en-
nifty he has engendered on the other are

A THING WELL DONE.
a Record that Recommends Roosevelt
TO the Voters.

The relations between capital and
labor in the United States are the ex-
istent conditions which affect the welfare
of many millions of people. The rela-
tons between any administration and
the adjustment of these questions must
necessarily be careful and most delicate.
What has happened in this relation I'M
der the administration of President
Roosevelt? What happened and what
made the ultimate result in the gigantic
miners strike in Pennsylvania? Who
was it who devised, in plain. common
sense, American way. solution of the
problem which affected the welfare of
hundreds of thousands? OF course that
is all, now, relatively. an old story. The
man who did this with his common
sense was the present candidate of tho
Republican party for the Presidency.
He ventures upon things, and he does
them well from straightforward, pa
triotic point of view.
Is 1t not a good thing to bear in
mind that the record of what Theodore
Roosevelt did in connection with the
Pennsylvania labor troubles is one OF
the greatest recon endations for his1
election to the Presidency? There. "

COUNTY MOTTO PAY
Until the Appellate Court Passes
on the Claims of Drs. Arp
and Rankin.
NEW TRIALS ARE REFUSED
Board Has Rule That All County
Patients Must be Treated by
Physician for Poor.

Two cases wherein Rock Island
county refuses to pay fee bills pre-
scented by physicians for caring for
citizens without financial means are
to be heard before the appellate court
for the Third district.
Both were tried at the present term
of the circuit court, and in each a
verdict was returned allowing the full
amount of the plaintiffs claim. The
bills were from DR. J. c. Rankin of
Watertown. and DR.. \. II. Arp, of Mo-
line. the former for $137.50 and the
latter for $347
Motions for new trials asked for by
the defense were overruled by Judge +.
c. Graves. The board of supervisors
has rule that all county patients
shall be treated by the physicians for
the poor. There are two of these, one
in Rock Island and the other in Mo-
line.
Poor Physician Overlooked.
George Henry. of Hampton. now de-
ceased was treated at the Moline city
hospital during the greater part OF
his last illness, employing Dr. Arp and
having the latter make out his bill
to the county. claiming that he did
not have the funds with which to de-
fray the expense of the treatment.
The position of the board is that
Henry should have called in the ply
stefan for the poor.
One of the grounds for appealing the
case of DR.. Rankin is that Peter Mum
son, whose family was cared for by
him at the expense of the county, is
not and was not at the time of his
sickness q pauper, and that he was
well able to pay his own doctor bill.
Munson's family had a siege of diph-
iberia. w. r. Carey, supervisor for
Hampton township. was appealed to.
and he ordered DR.. Rankin to be called
in, promising that the board would
foot the bill.
Business of Term Finished.
There will be no further hearings
before the court until September, the
May term practically coming to an end
last evening when Judge Graves an
nounced an adjournment to July 1S
He will return on that date to deliver
his decisions on the motion for a new
trial in the application for mandamus
of Capt. J. NJ. Beardsley against the
Davenport, Rock Island & Northwest

street depot property, and some min
or matters. Then the docket will be

HELEN BLAIR RESCUES
FLOUNDERED SAILOR

Charles Long, of this city, had an
experience while sailing on the river
yesterday which might have been diff
ferent had he not had considerable
presence of mind. Shortly after noon
when the water on the river was
rather choppy his sailboat which was
rugged with two large sails, capsized
in the middle of the river. Mr.. Long
was not long in righting the boat and
everything seemed we'll for few min
utes till the strong wind and rough
water got the better of the sailor and
capsiZed the boat again. This time
he was not able to right the boat. but
clinging to the keel he managed TO
take in the sails. Mate Elliot of the
Helen Blair noticed the trouble and
lowered a boat and went with two men
to the unfortunate sailor. ]. w.
Young. who lives in a house boat. had
also noticed the proceedings and
started on the same mission. When
the boats arrived Long was found with
full presence of mind but almost ex-
hausted. After reaching the shore he
bailed his boat out and let the sails
dry. then battled the water again.

BEGIN TO FEAR A
LOW STAGE WATER
Stopping of Big Liners on Mississippi
Will Cause Unusually Heavy
Loss This Year.

Riyermen are expressing grave fears
for the continuation of the through
service on the upper Mississippi river,
unless there are heavy rains soon, as
they state that the water will soon
drop below the stage admitting OF
navigation of the big liners. 1t is said
the Ohio river has fallen so low that
a number of the larger boats have
been compelled to stop running, and
a like state of affairs on the upper
Mississippi would mean big loss. as
the trade is heavier at present than
for years.
The fall in the stage of water has
caught the government fleet in the
harbor AT Dubuque, and as result
three barges and the large warehouse,
No. 10. are lodged securely on the
bank of the ice harbor.
Rivermen await the arrival of the
Louisiana. one of the largest eXcur-
sion boats on the Mississippi riyeI
which is plying its way north. The
boat is now in the vicinity of Quincy
and is expected to arrive at Rock ISL
Louisiana is an old government boat,
refurnished and refitted throughout.
She was sold at auction last year in
the south and is now being used as a
pleasure boat.
River men who have seen the craft
say it is one of the finest boats on the
river-large. cOmmodious, and perfect
ly safe. Early in the spring the boat
left New Orleans on her way north.
and has been doing land office bust
ness at all the large towns along the
river. She will go through to St.
Paul
The Louisiana was known in the
government service as the Joseph
Henry" She was supplanted in the
government service by the Oleander,
which was built by the Iowa Iron
works of Dubuque.
The Louisiana is captained by Capt
Jim Boland, of Dubuque, with Capt.
Morgan as first mate. Both are we'll
known rivermen. Reports received
from them are to the effect that the
boat is one of the finest in the excur-
sion business.
