''Whe Str,iel nn!y pa,teyssn:"


The question now is: Has Sec.
Shaw heard from Ohio? His
advice to the Buckley boys" to
stand pat" has been answered
by an Overwhelming victory for
the people, Ind the retirement
OF boss, Geo. &. Cox, from ac-
tive duty. For over twenty
years he has lorded it over the
people of Ohio, trampling on
every political right, corrupting
the ballot, falslying election
returns, and debating nominal
lions, and now he declairs he is
going to rest. He should be
provided with a home at Co
lumhus at public expense.
Ex-Gov. Shaw's advice to
Stand pat" has been answered
in thunder tones by the people
from everywhere. and from ev-
cry point comes the victorious
shout of the masses for Teddy,
and Gov. Cummins, and equal
rights for all, special privileges
for none. 1t seems that the
voters have, as a general thing,
taken the advice and stood pat
against Shaw and corruption.
aud like Cox, of Ohio, he has
heard the voice of the people in
this first sklrmish, and must re-
allze the fact that the President
has won the hearts Of the Amer
lean people by his bold stand in
favor of clean politics and OPP
position OF combines and syn
dictates to rob the people. At
every point where Shaw was
permitted to eNpound his stand
pat dogma, there, against his
plea was the victory the most
complete. We do not regard the
result as Democratic victory,
but rather a peoples victory, a
against monopoly and
corrupt rule: and in this light,
Ohio, Pennsylvany, New York,
Virginia, Kentucky, California,
and other points, have repudia-
ted the Shaw slogan of "stand
pat, and adopted the more no
BILE and enduring princp leof
"even and exact justice to all,
special privileges to none,' an
even chance in life for rich and
poor. President Roosevelt and
Gov. Cummins, no doubt feel
good, while Secty Shaw won
ders how it happened, and can
see in it, his hopes for 1908,
'gone glimering.' d. M. III.

cleaned by the New York Tribune
from the postmaster generals report
for 1904-o5 indicate that in spite of the
recent vast extension of the rural free
delivery system the postoffice depart
ment's earning capacity is steadily in
creasing. The postal revenues for
1904'O5 were greater by $4,000. 600
than those for 10000 and outside the
rual branch of the service receipts now
balance expenditures. The money or
der business for 19O4'O5 reached vol
ume of 81 .000. 000, 00o-a gain of 20
per cent-and Coo. 00O. 900 more stamps.
stamped wrappers and postal cards
were used last year than in 10000.
Were it not for the deficit entailed by
rural Tree delivery. the department
could at present more than pay its
way. and within the next five or 10
years might be in a position 10 recon-
mend TO congress some material reduc-
tons in postal rates.
II is evident. however. that the rural
delivery has come to stay, and that the
expense of extending il must be faced
in any calculations for the future. The
initial cost of establishing new country
routes viii continue TO be serious
drain on postal revenues. Yet the ne
cessity of this extension is beyond
question. As a means of education and
of national development the rural free
delivery experiment has already proved
its worth. and as the system grows ii
will become more nearly self-support
ing Indirectly II benefits trade by
bringing the country into easy commu
nication with the town ana city, and il

creasinE enlightenment. comfort. an6
contentment in the rural districts.
The cites are perhaps paying a little
more than their present proportion pei
capita of the cost of the postal ser
vice: but the Country's gain is the!l
gain also. and they will cheerfully con
tribute 10 maintain and extend the ru
raj service until a new balance between
receipts and expenditures can be
struck and both city and country can
share in a general decrease in postal
charges.

Anything That Improves the Fire
DEPARTMENT.

As a part of his message submitted
to the council last night dealing with
the subject of improved facilities al
the waterworks plant, Mayor McCask-
rim suggested the purchase of a fire
engine as an auxiliary to the fire de
partment. The idea is not a bad one as
il would tend to relieve the strain of
water pressure during fire and would
also act as an excellent and reliable
emergency adjunct To the department
under all circumstances For many
years the disposition of the city 10 dis
regard the actual needs of the fire de
partment has been a subject of repeat
cd comment on the part of The Argus.
The deplorable need of a reliable alarm
system has been SO frequently
illustrated in the past that
there are doubtless many peo-
pie who marvel that Rock Island has nos
| been long since provided with this es-
scntial in the successful operation of
| Il first class department. II was one of
the Improvements that Mayor McCask-
| rim promised 10 devote his immediate
| attention TO when elected mayor. but

reins. il has gone by the board. The aerial
truck. or at least a safe hook and lad

assured. but the people are still sub,
sisting on the emptiness of unkept
promise.
The fire engine idea is proper
but not so important as either the
alarm or the truck. although the
addition of all three would help
bring the standard of the department
lup 10 what il should be. Had the alarm
! system been put in years ago. the truck
would also have come when it's need
first became apparent. and there woulG

approached him, and asked to have
his pay to S. week.
How much are you getting now?"
Mr.. Jordan asked with smile.
Three dollars week. sir"
"And how old are you?"
Fifteen my next birthday, sir"
Mr.. Jordan laid his nand kindly on

impressively: do you know, my
boy, when I was your age I was only
getting 81 week.
The boy dropped his eyes for a
moment. Then he looked earnestly
