VERY BAD FAILING
One of Mayor Mccaskrin's Most
Pronounced Shortcomings is
Lack of Self Control.
TOO MUCH PERSONAL ABUSE
UamentabIe Difference Between Doing
Duty for Duty's Sake and
for Spite.

Apart from the fact that Mayor Nc
Caskrin has made a goose of himself
Officially in seeking 70 attribute his
course in enforcing the law to ven
geance toward The Argus because it
had criticised his ridiculous gambling
house episode, he is presenting a very
sad spectacle personally in going about
indulging in foul and insulting Ian
guage in public places.
Owes Something 10 His Office.
While the abusive and insulting ut
lterances of the blackguard as usual
thing. when coming from the individ-
ual. no matter who he may be, are mat
| tiers of Indifference to those at whom
they are aimed the man. once elevated
to a station of responsibility and dig
nifty. ought to deport himself as be-
comes his office. The incumbent of
the office of mayor should strive to be
a gentleman. at least for the brief
space OF time that he is so serving, re-
CARELESS of how painful it may be. He
should do this for the public sake, If
not his own.
Not Master of His Tongue.
Abusive on the stump in all of his
campaigns. one of the most pronounc-
ed failings on the part of Mr.. McCask-
rim as mayor has been in the fact that
he has not been master of his tongue.
Shocking in his reference to every
member of the council, with possibly
one exception, at one time or another.
il is not surprising that now he should
turn loose the nauseating walls of his
wrath upon the newspapers, in common
with all others who disagree with him.
And il is not so much because The
Argus has come in for its share of his
ill-becoming language as that it de
plOres such conduct in the man who is
occupying the office of mayor of Rock
Island, that prompts this comment.
Reform for the sake of Spite.
Had the mayor, actuated by a sense
of duty, gone about his reforms in d
firm and dignified manner. instead of
screaming around that he was doing it
purely to spite The Argus and other
newspapers, he would have commanded
respect even OF those who differed with
him in policy.
For the public official who is doing
his duty does not need TO make explain
alton or apology. or, if he is honestly
and conscientiOusly disposed to shift
the blame.

register OF the parish Of San Martino
de sarroca in Spain. This death regis
ter showed plainly enough that Alex
andre and GonzaIo Mora were buried
in that parish in 1873.
The secretary Of the first marquis, too
old to palm himself off as Alexandra
Mora, stole ali the family documents
when the old marquis died. gave them
TO his son, and sent him to Paris to as
sumo the title and secure the fortune.
It was the son of the secretary who In
1881, according to the story told by
Pierre Rera assumed illegally the title
Of the Marquis Alexandra de Casa
Riera.
Paris jumped to the conclusion that
the story of Pierre Riera, the ignorant
blacksmith Of Catalonia, was true and
that the aged and respected Marquis de
Casa-Rera was an impostor, who had
enjoyed stolen millions for twenty
three years.
The appearance of the marquis was
| against him. He does not look to be
more than so years old. Yet If he was
the real Alexandra Mora named in the
will of 1879 he must be at least 81.
SPANISH AUTHORITIES AlDFRAuD
The case found its way into the
courts. The affair was complicated by
| the unexpected course taken by the
Spanish authorities. Every effort was
made in Spain, apparently, to bolster

mission to search parish registers was
refused to the attorneys employed by
the marquis.
The marquis himself told a straight
forward story in court. He asserted
that from 1S42 to 1861 he resided with
his uncle, the first marquis. in Madrid.
In 1851 he went to London to learn
banking in the house of Messrs. Fred
erick Huth & Co. In 1875 he shared his
uncle's exile in Paris and was with
him until his death in 1881.
But the sensational press of Paris
was with the syndicate backing Pierre
Riera 1t was declared that the mar
quis was the mysterious Crawford and
that his heirs were the nephews whose
long litigation with Nine. Humbert en-
abled her to impose upon so many
millionaires. In short no story seemed
too extravagant of belief for, the Paris
boulevardier press to print, and the
case began to look dark for the mar
quis.
Then one day the whole fabric OF
fraud and perjury fell to the ground.
The Matin printed proof that Pierra
Rieras death registers and other pa
pers were only clumsy forgeries. The
case was dropped with suddenness
that sent Pierre Riera back to Barce-
Iona in haste to avoid arrest and pros
ecution. He had made the gamblers
throw for a stake of $1S0000 00O-and

bottomed chairs at home is the man
who complains most about the hard
seats on the train.
The woman to whom no one has the
slightest inclination to speak is the one
who is most timid about travelling
alone.
The man who could not successfully
conduct The business end of peanut
cart is the man who is free to tell you
how the railways are mismanaged.
The woman who finds most fault IT
she ever does have to stand, is the one
who, when the opportunity comes, ex-
poets to occupy two or three seats with
parcels.
The man who 1oafs away three-quar-
ters of his time is the one who is the
most unreasonably impatient if the
train is a few minutes late.
The woman who hates children is the
one who thinks it brutal that she isn't
permitted to take her dog into the
chair car.
The man who "eats around" at the
25 cent restaurants is the surest "kick-
er'' in the dining car
The woman who was born to serve is

The man who is in business that con-
siders 200 per cent profit legitimate is

scandal That Involves Both High and L0W!y

Then began that series of sudden
deaths which within the last few
months formed so sensational feature
of the effort to obtain the $1S,000,000
by forgery.
Jose Mora y Riera, the direct heir
died suddenly in Madrid, just forty
seven days after the death of his
uncle, the marquis, who had willed
him so great a fortune. Thereupon
Alexandra and Gonzalo Mora y Riera
took possession of the fortune. But in
another month Gonzalo died in Ma
drid, leaving widow, who married
a Spanish sous-prefect named Ange-
lotti. In a few weeks Angelotti died
suddenly, and his wife, the former
widow Of Gonzalo, survived him but
a short time. OF all the direct heirs

carefully invested in securities. This
fortune has steadily increased until
today it is estimated to amount to 90,-
000.0 francs, or $1S,OOO,0O0.
TWO. WILLS AND TWO HEIRS
The marquis had made two wills
and both were found after his death.
In the first one he left his entire for
tune to cousin named Riera, who is
still living, a nonagenarian, in BARGE
Iona. In the second will, dated in 1879,
two years before his death, he revoked
the first will and bequeathed the bulk
of his estate to his nephew, Alexandra
Mora Riera. The sum of 1000, 900
francs was given to a third nephew

Here is a new definition Of serious
phrase which, though perhaps not
strictly scholarly in tone, will doubtless
make strong appeal. Malcolm Ford
