A Country Worth Fighting For.

The old soldiers assembled at Den
yer to attend the national encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
have occasion to obtain d most instruct
i've view of the union they saved by
their patriotism. They meet i'll the
capital city of a community which did
not become a state until more than
eleven years after the clOse of the war.
Those who went from the east pass
through another rich and pOpulOus
state. Nebraska. which did not become
a state until 1861. The thriving and
progressive city in which they hold
their encampment is the center of a
galaxy of commemorative. including
the two Dakotas. Montana, Washing
ton. Idaho. Wyoming and Utah, all-of
which have become states since they
were marching and fighting TO retain
the states south of the Potomac and
Ohio in the union.
In a word, nearly half the territory
which they rescued from disuniOn has
been peopled and organized since the
dark days of the war in which these
veterans participated
And this is not all. Even the south,
which was the battlefield of all that
memorable contest. has been opened to
material development. and in conse-
quence is richer and more populous to-
day than it would have been if there
had been no war. no attempted dissolu-
ton of the union. and the old order of
things had continued.
The south is far richer and more
progressive than it could have been
if with the retention of slavery, the
cultivation of cottons tobacco and rice
had remained its chief industries.
While slavery lasted, the development
of the coal. iron and timber resources
of that rich section was not under
taken. and the great manufacturing in
dustries which now dot the south were
not even dreamed of.
From their viewpoint at Denver the
old soldiers will have no necessity TO
ask the question. Was it worth
While?"

against the spread of disease is before
il gets a start Cleanliness should al
ways be a city's motto, and to enforee
the laws and ordinances relative TO
cleanliness should be one of the chief
works of all officials The time to pre-
vent disease is before the infection
takes root, for in filth is where it
grows most rapidly.
The appearance of number of cases
of Asiatic cholera in portions of Ger
many within the last two weeks has
created stir among medical men and
sanitary experts all over that empire
Vivid recollections are entertained
there of the awful havoc wrought in
Europe in 1892 by an epidemic of that
disease. Though the protective meas
ures adopted in the small towns which
were first invaded from Russian Poland
may not stay the course of the disease,
they at least show a lively appreciation
of the impending danger. Now, that
the cable informs us the disease has
been discovered in Hamburg among
Russian emigrants bound 10 America,
the matter assumes a phase in which
our people and our government are di-
rectly interested. II is gratifying 10
mote that the authorities at Hamburg
have adopted a watchful attitude.
With praiseworthy caution they have
seen fit 10 detain and put under compe-
tent supervision Russian emigrants
bound for this country. Though this
sensible action is not a perfect guar
antee that cases will not slip through
their fingers. it is an exhibition of Wig
lance which is highly commendable.
1t should not lessen, however, the
watchfulness of the authorities of the
United States To prevent the impOrta-
ton of the dreaded scourge. Eternal
vigilance is the price of freedom from
an invasion of the AsiGtic plague.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS

Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Rock Island People Know How
to Save IT.

Many Rock Island people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are RESPONSE
bic for vast amount of suffering and
ill-health. but there is no need to suffer
nor to remain in danger when all dis
eases and aches and pains due to weak
kidneys can be quickly and perma-
nently cured by the use of Doans Kid
ney Pills. Here is the statement of a
Rock Island citizen who has reclaimed
good health by the use of this remedy:
Albert Littig, of 1900 Fifth avenue
bricklayer and stone mason, says: Il
was taken with a soreness across my
back, and il was further aggravated
by the nature of my work, as | have to
be so much in a stopped position. l
