Christmas Shopping.

Christmas is not quite three weeks
away and there are very few people in
Rock Island or the surrounding coun-
try who are not planning what they
will buy for their friends and loved
ones.
There are just two things that will
| be of interest and profit to the Christ
mas buyer, and that should not be
forgotten. One is to do your buying
early. and the other, and most impor-
tant is to buy here in Rock Island. By
buying early you will avoid the rush of
the last few days before the holiday,
you will get a better selection, and you
will be doing a kind and thoughtful act
to the tired and over-worked clerks in
/ the stores. At the same time you will
have time to think and plan what TO
buy and your gifts are sure to be more
appropriate than if you wait until the
last moment and then buy hurriedly
and without the necessary thought and
study BY buying at home, of your
Town local merchants, you will better
yourself and at the same time display
a commendable public spirit. You
know the men who are in business
here: YOU know their word is good
and that what you buy of them is back
ed up by their reputation and honesty.
You will get better goods for less mon
ey than in the big cities where the
prices are pushed % and 80 per cent
just previous TO the holidays. 1t is a
fact that has been demonstrated in
Vulnerable times that articles of the
same worth and value can be bought
for less money in Rock Island than in
the big cities.
AS for selection, a glance in the many
show windows in Rock Island today
will show as choice and extensive lines
of merchandise as can be found any
where.
If you lack ideas as to what to buy,
read the advertisements in The Argus,
and you will unquestionably be helped
in your Christmas buying. The best
and most honorable merchants in Rock
Island talk to you every week through
the columns of The Argus, and you
will find what they have to say both
and profitable.
Now, don't forget. Buy early, buy at
home, and read the advertisements in
The Argus. and you will be surprised
how easy it is to do Christmas shop
ping. after ALL

The Ship Subsidy Steal.

Washington specials state that
Speaker Cannon has decided TO favor
the passage by the house of the ship
subsidy bill. The argument that has
prevailed with the speaker is that the
effect of the enactment will be to re-
quire appropriations of four to six mil
lions of dollars annually, which will as
sist in reducing the surplus in the
treasury. and act as a preventive to
reduction of the Dingley robber tariff.
Speaker Cannon is one of the
staunchest friends of the trusts and
the maintenance of a tariff that will
foster and protect the trusts.
The ship subsidy bill is intended for
a steal. 1t will take millions of dollars
from the pockets of the taxpayers and
give it to the Standard Oil trust and
the American shipping trust
The pretext that the measure will
build up an American merchant ma
rine and expand the foreign commerce
of the United States should deceive
no one. 1t is a vicious measure in
tended to deplete the United States
treasury in the interest of organized
wealth

Education Goes On.

President George F. Baer of the
Reading says that ''the general educa
ton of all the people, which must nee
essarily be limited. creates rash and
superficial thinking and unrest"
1t is understood from this that Mr.
Baer would abolish general education
of all the people"
There was no general education OF
ali the people in France in the 18th
century, but that fact did not prevent
unrest and revolution. With all its
limitations, we will probably continue
our system of popular education. There
is more safety in it than in no educa
ton.
But then Mr.. Baer is supposed to
speak by divine right, and consequent
ly need make no explanation.

An odd Array of Facts.

In his report for 1905, just issued
Surgeon General O'Reilly says that the
rate of admission to sick report in the
army is next to that of the Dutch army
the highest in the world. 1t is 1895
per 1000. The lowest rate, Russia's
is 3.4S. The United States army's
death rate is high, too, 6.2S, next to
that of the British army which is 7.13
The Prussian army's death rate is only
two per 1000; but the report says that
many countries have low death rate
because their sick are promptly dis
charged or retired and die out of the
service. sifGE

John Sharp Williams, minority leade

John Sharp Williams, minority leader
of the national house of representa-
tives, was holding forth 10 some friends
upon what he calls the insincerity OF
republicans who talk of tariff revision
The Mississippian said this kind of talk
reminded him of a storekeeper in his
district who received sharp letter
from his wholesale dealer demandiD 2
immediate payment of a long-standin2
account. In reply, he wrote, saying:
Enclosed please find my check for the
full amount, with interest. Kindly close
my account on your books, as l shall
do no more business with you" The
man who received the letter looked for
the check. 1t was not there. 1t was
not in the envelope. There was no
check. Then he noticed, in very small
letters at the bottom of the letter, this
line: Gentlemen, this is the kind of
a letter 1 would have written you if
had any money"

Congressman Ames shows that he

Gratis. The democratic party, he says, in
Washington cannot be trusted to re
wise the tariff 1t would make a horri
BILE mess and muddle. But the repub
lican party should proceed with the
work of revision. Meanwhile, says Mr..
Ames, the republicans will have to de-
pend upon the democrats to get revis-
ion started and TO support the repub-
licans when they get ready to take
hold. This is the Roosevelt idea. 1t
is. perhaps, the most successful idea
in American politics today. The ideas
of the democrats are being made use
of. but they cannot be trusted with
anything of responsible nature Dem

Burma is the land Of pagodas, From
the summit of every mountain, Of ev-
cry hill or hillock, from above the cliffs
and rocks and from among the woods
of the islands of the broad Irawadi rise
the graceful forms and gilded pinnacles
of numberlass pagodas. Often they are
crowned by a golden htee or umbrella.
Pagodas are rarely temples in the true
sense. They are usually solid, tapering
buildings placed over real or imitation
relics Close by, among groves of palms
and bananas, are generally TO be seen
the carved and seven storled roofs OF
the kioungs, or Buddhist monasteries.
Gay and light hearted as are the Bur
mans, they realize another and future
existence aa vividly as they do the
present life, and the teachings Of the
great Buddha are ever present to their
minds and influence them profoundly.

were accustomed to identify the gen,

were perfumed with patchoun. French
manufacturers, acting upon this hint,
imported the patchouli plant for the
