OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
The Order of the Smiling Face.

We've formed a new society
"The Order of the Smiling Face"
An honored member you may be,
For every one may have a place.
The rules say you must never let
The corner of your mouth droop
down;
For by this method you may get
The habit of a sulky frown.
If rlaymates tease you, let your
eyes
A brave and merry twinkle show;
For If the angry tears arise
They're very apt to overflow.
If you must practice for an hour,
And if it seem a long, long while,
Remember not to pout and glover,
But wear a bright and cheerful
smile.
The rules are simple, as you see;
Make up your mind to join to-day.
Put on a smile-and you will be
An active member right away.

Stick to IL.

A very successful business man
was once asked the secret of his
great success in life. and he said in
reply:
"Why, l decided early in life just
what / intended to do and be and
then l stuck to it. / often think
hat one reason why so many boys of
our day fail in life is because they
do not stick to a thing long enough
to make a success of it."
There is a world of good advice in
the three little words, "stick to it."
The vacillating boy who jumps from
one thing to another will never sue
ceed in life. One must have a sort
of a bulldog tenacity in holding on
to things if one is to make them ego"
Sometimes one should stick all the
closer to ones purpose when the
outlook is most discouraging. As
the lowest stage of the water at the
seashore always precedes a turn of
the tide, so the most discouraging
state of ones worldly affairs often
precedes q change for the better.
Too many boys and men get this
pernicious "get-rich-quick" idea into
their heads, and they are not dis
posed to stick to anything very long
if it does not promise immediate and
large returns.
Now the "get-rich-quick" idea is
about as evil an idea as a boy al get
into his head. 1t is first cousin to
the Notwithstanding" idea.
1t is a bad day in.the life of a boy
when he wants to come into posses
sion of a dollar without having hon.
estly earned it. 1t is a bad day for
him when he begins to have a kind
of a contempt for the slow and sure
and honorable way of acquiring
money. The boy who gets this idea
into his head will never stick to any
thing very long, and he will be sure
to develop into a scheming, visionary
kind of a man who is forever on the
eve of making a large fortune. He
will spend a great deal of his time
In Figuring out" large fortunes on
paper while other men are simply
sticking to their business and slowly
but surely acquiring a competency.
The "get-rich-quick" idea makes

MISS DIETZ THROWN I
FROM HER CARRIAGE
Victim in Runaway Accident This
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Serious Bruis-
es in Fall to Pavement.

Miss Emma c. Dietz, 1901 Sixth ay-
enue, was thrown from a buggy this
morning in runaway, at Ninth av-
enue and Fifteenth street. She sustain
ed severe bruises and will be laid up
for time. Miss Dietz was returning
from Rock Island arsenal, about $50,
when the horse she was driving be
came frightened on Fifteenth street
near Second avenue Ii broke into a
wild run up Fifteenth street. Miss
DietZ was able TO maintain her hold
on the reins and keep the horse in the
center of the street until she neared
Ninth avenue.
A short turn threw her from her seat
to the pavement. The horse was trav-.
cling at a high speed, and the wonder
is that the occupant of the buggy was
not fatally injured While her injuries
are painful, they are not regarded as
dangerous. The buggy was damaged
considerably. The horses run was
a moment after Miss Dietz had
been thrown from the rig. She was re-
moved to her home.

James J. Quinn.
The eloquent priest welcomed the
Knights to the city and pointed
out the privileges and RESPONSE
bilities of membership in the order
and exhorted them to carry out in ev-
cry way the high aims of the organiza
ton. In this connection he referred
TO the baleful and deadly influences at
work in the social fabric of the nation
and urged his hearers to do their part
in upholding the higher Ideals of citi-

THE DOUBLE CROSS
Seems to Have Been the Chief
Result of Saturdays
Peculiar Case.
BURGLARY OF GAMING HOUSE
Is Charge of Mayor-Chief of Police
Who Later Changes it to Dis
orderly Conduct.

The haze that covered the arrest,
arrai gnment and plea to a charge of
disorderly conduct of the man referred
TO in Saturday nights Argus as John
Doerty, has been removed to a certain
extent. although several things remain
under the surface because the thorough
airing the case might have had was
cut off by the prisoner pleading guilty.
Newspaper reporters were denied
any information on the matter Satur
day, except what was shown on the
records-that the man, after being ar
rested for burglary of gambling
house, had pleaded guilty to disorderly
conduct and was fined So and costs.
States Attorney Scott appeared for
the prosecution and John Looney for
the defense.
Mayor Gets Warrant.
Mayor McCaskrin obtained the war
rant upon which the arrest was made,
the charge at that time being BURGLARY.
and the scene of the alleged
crime gambling house The mayor,
although acting as chief of police. could
not find any of his policemen, so about
3 o'clock in the afternoon he called
Deputy Sheriff Reynolds TO his assist
ance and the warrant was served.
The prisoner was arraigned before
Magistrate Elliott. in whose court the
warrant was issued, and he immediately
telephoned TO Johnny Jones to go on his
bond. Jones could not be found,
but was met later at his store. The
prisoner was informed that what he
needed was a lawyer and Jones volun-
teered to send him one. He did. /.

Gambling House Involved.

wanted, but they made their escape
while the mayor was looking for his
policemen. 1t was suspected that those
who escaped could have been convicted
of burglary if they had been caught,
but there was insufficient evidence &C
cording to the excuse now offered to
hold Fitzpatrick to that charge. Tho
suspician was that they had entered a
gambling house on Eighteenth
street for the purpose of fixing the
wheels-cOmpetitiOn between gambling
houses is getting fierce. But when the
man was arraigned either the mayor
got cold feet or did not have any case
of burglary-and the charge was made

4 Very Peculiar Case.

There are some striking things
brought out in this incident, which it
was the hope by those most deeply
concerned TO pass over quietly. One is
that it presents about as strong evi-
dence as could be desired of the pal
pable weakness of the mayors assump-
ton of the role of chief of police, the
prerogatives of which in his hands are
so limited that he cannot locate his Off
GERS when he wants them. Hence he must
summon a county official to make an
arrest on a warrant he has sworn our,
and meanwhile. suspects as badly
wanted as the one taken are permit
ted 10 get away for the same reason
that there are no policemen within call.
The other strange spectacle is furn-
ished in the mayor as chief of police,
swearing out warrant for the arrest
of a man for the burglary OF a gam
bling house. thus affording the interest
ing piece of information of his knowi-
edge that such institutions exist in
Rock Island. From this TelevatiOn n
natural inquiry will be made as to why
a mayor having such information and
exercising the powers vested in him
by his office. TO say nothing of the add
ed police authority he has assumed unto
himself as the personal head of the
police department. should have delayed
proceedings long enough to swear oul
a warrant when he might as well have
pulled the joint on the spot.
Merely Game OF Double Cross.
Taking the remarkable affair as 4
whole. il has very much the appear
ance Of but another game of the dou-
BILE cross. of which there have been
numerous instances in Rock Island of
late. except that in this case the wolf
instead of the lamb was fieeced. As
the story goes. the man, Ed Fitzpat-
rick, alias John Doe alias John Doe-rty,
is a gambler who was in with a crowd

In all its various forms and phases in

sufficient to- protect the game. and at
the same time is working hand in glove

years off the pickings of vice, and is ar

 Complicated Situation.
 The situation on rate legislation Is now so complicated that Senators and members dislike to talk about 1t, but one of the lcaders said today:
 MT. Roosevelt is not trying to force Congress to enact rate legislation. He wants legislation of that sort and is working for 1t, but he is not trying to force us to act. because we are not ready to go into the final stages of a bill at this time. There has not been a time since rate legislation was first mentioned when the membership of the House was so completely split on the various propositions as today. There are at least four factions, all pulling in different directions. All are friend- ly to rate legislation, but at absolute war over the wisdom of various meas ures.
