A Hustling Septuagenarian.

General John NJ. Wilson turns into his
seventeen year of life today a hale and
hearty younSster. as good citizen as can
be found, as brisk participation in affairs
of the day, and as useful a member of the
community. Years have not deprived him
of his excellent Judgment in matters of
moment or lessened his ability to take hold
of the practical details of making the Dis
trict an ideal place of business and resi-
dence. The law has commanded General
Wilson to step aside from his army duties
and to go on the official shelf but his
spirit has prevented him from staying on
the shelf. Having been throughout his life
devoted to Washington. and in various Of
fetal capacities having had to do in
timately with the development of the CITY.
he was we'll qualified at his retirement
from active service i'll the army to enlist
himself exclusively in the forces that make
for the advancement of the local welfare as
he announced to be his purpose. He has
participated in highly important under
takings during these past few years of his
comparative leisure. his conduct of the de-
tails of the Inauguration OF last year hav-
ing been exceptionally able. AS president
Of the Board of Trade he is now carrying

jefferson, Lincoln, and Deportation.

The Charleston News and Courier, in
further reply to The Star insists upon it's
proposition of deportation of the negroes
as the only solution of the race question.
II quotes from Mr. Lincoln in his debates
with Judge Douglas in 1855, in which he
expressed the opinion that the two races
could not live on terms of perfect equal
ity in the same country. and from Mr..
Jefferson, who at much earlier time ad-
vocated gradual emancipation and depor-
tation of the negroes.
II is easy to juggle with terms and to
quote expressions of public men which ap-
pear to make them contradict themselves
For an instance, Mr.. Lincoln said that this
and half free. 1t was that expression
which when he had been elected President
hurried extreme advocates of slavery into
secession But when In Office Mr.. Lincoln
declared that his first object was to save
the Union, and that l. this could be done
without freeing the negroes he would do
It, Did that make Mr.. Lincoln an advocate
hand TO the emancipation proclamation
when the necessity arose, put arms into
the hands of negroes to help along the
Union cause. and advised giving the ballot
on limited scale to the more worthy and
intelligent of the race.
AS for Mr.. Jefferson, great man that he
was. he shifted his ground to suit emer-
gencSes. as. indeed. all statesmen do. and.
while he saw far, did not see everything

Wicked Joe Bailey.
From tho New York Sun.

There is no measure of the wckedness OF
the Hon. Joseph Weldon Bailey of Texas
Not only has he practiced his profession,
Serving his clients with skill ard fidelity
but he has made money out of them He
has, in fact put aside a competency, and
In addition to this he brazenly continues
his repulsive course until he stands In inn
minent danger of becoming rich AS
though this were not enough to safe the
most Vicious nature. he has the hardihood
to defend himself and justify his immoral
tiles.

Factories Ready to Locate in Rock Is

A Rock Island citizen stated today
that he knew of two factories that are

city just as soon as assurance is gwen
that arrangements have been compIet-
ed insuring competitive track rights to
that part of town Each Of these en-

If the question has been solved and

the sooner the announcement is made
the better for Rock Island. So far as

information which comes from Fea-
sonably authenticated sources gained
currency today which promises Huch
for the industrial development OF ROCK
Island. In fact, the tendency OF me
information is TO solve absolutely the
problem of land opportunities and leave
as the sole obstacle to the builslhS up
of a factory district in the west END
the question of competitive track
rights.
Geperosity of the Land Syndicate
According 10 the reports that nave
come to The Argus, the land syndicate
which took over some of the most Valu-
able holdings in the estate OF the late
Bailey Davenport, has made a present
outright to the Rock Island industrial
commission of the 80 acres lying
in the vicinity of the Rock Is
land tracks and running south to Eigh-
teenth avenue. for factory purposes
This land, SO the story goes, is 10 De
vested in trustee who is named by
the instrument of transfer, to be held
by the commission exclusively Tor the
encouragement and use OF new indus
trial enterprises. There are 30 acres
i'll the tract which is valued at from
$500 to 800 an acre.

This move. if consummated. and
there is every reason to believe it will
be consummated. disposes of the last
of the land held by the syndicate which
was originally composed of F. Weyer-
haeuser. Morris Rosenfield. c. II. Deere,
and T. J. Robinson. and not only sup
plements the syndicate's first gift to
the city of Rock Island. but makes
complete the monument it has left for
public spirit and generosity. 1t was
this same syndicate that presented to
the city the 40-acre tract on the blum
that has since been converted into the
beautiful Long View park. The final
act is the more to be appreciated be
cause of the surviving holders of the
land, two are non-residents Of Rock Is
nd-Frederick Weyerhaeuser of St.
Paul and c. II. Deere of Moline-and ii
is understood that after the heirs to
the estates of T. J. Robinson and ]. F.
Robinson and Morris Rosenfield signi-
fed their desire TO contribute in 50
liberal a degree to the building up of
Rock Island Messrs. Weyerhaeuser
and Deere both readily acquiesced in
the idea and gave with their endorse
ment an evidence OF broad. indeed
liberal hearted spirit that Rock Island
should always remember.

hands, it is reported, it is TO pass, an
outgrowth of the famous meeting held
/ at the Rock Island Club last summer
of representative men, members of the
club and merchants association, who
responding to the rallying call of Pres
ident Medill and Charles McHugh
started the move that is TO send Rock
| Island forward along the proper lines.
Al that meeting in the discussion, which
followed an informal dinner, it was de.
, veIoped that two essentials must be
provided if Rock Island was 10 make its

of these it was set forth was land for
factories. the other switching priv

in the course of the remarks that
were made. F. c. Denkmann submitted

number of men TO erect a building for
the encouragement OF small factories,
provided the land could be secured and
the track rights acquired that would
remove the monopoly existing there in
this respect. II was apparent that the

discussion was going on relative to the
requirement of this, H. f. Casteel vol
unteered that he would undertake TO
turn over onefourth of it TO any re-
sDonsible commission that might be
created, provided the necessary track
accommodations were secured.
Looks as If CasseeI Had Made Good.
1t now looks as if Mr. CaSteel. repre-
senting the Robinson estate, had not
only made good on what he said then
he would do. but had secured the con-

Internationally. If this proves to be a
fact it will not eliminate the necessity
of the competitive track rights but will
make them absolutely essential. for
having the land ii will be of compare
lively little worth for factories unless
it can be reached not by one railroad
but by all the railroads that offer ship
ping facilities in and out of Rock Is
land.
When Mr. Casteel was seen on the
subject of the syndicates action this
morning he did not affirm or deny that
the move was about to be made, but
simply said anything that would be do
