Pfospector EndeaVors to Lease
Peter Vetter Farm to
Drill Well
UT WITHOUT SUCCESS
Place Sold to Paul jain of AndaIusia
for Consideration of About
$4,000.

The Peter Vetter farm, lying three
miles east of Milan in the Rock river
bottoms and one of the best in the vi
entity, has been sold to Paul jain. the
consideration being in the neighbOr
hood of 500 per acre. There are 32C
acres in the tract practically all under
cultivation. Mr.. jain has sold his 145
acre farm in Andausia township to
Henry Haas for 500 per acre.
Traces of petroleum have been in
evidence on the Vetter farm for years
the oil coming to the surface in mar
shy places in such quantities that the
water does not freeze over in even
the coolest weather. An oil prospect
or from the south paid a visit to the
place last week and endeavored with
out success to secure a lease Of the
farm for the purpose of drilling for oil.
VIII Not Investigate.
Mr. jain, the purchaser, however,
has bought the land for agricultural
purposes and has no present intention
of putting down a deep well.

A CHEAP EXCUSE
FOR ANOTHER TERM
Is What the Republican Paper Puts
Up for Its County Treasurer
Candidate.

1t is somewhat amusing for the
Union to talk about boOmerangs or
combining political discussions to the
boosting" by a political paper of its
own party candidates. This, when it
is considered that the self same Union
brought such tremendous boomer
ang on its own party's legislative con
vention, by misrepresenting the pro
ccedings of the Keithsburg senatorial
convention for no other purpose than
partisan spite. 1t is this spirit that
brought into the limelight incidents
that happened in connection with the
republican senatorial convention held
at AledO. at the same time that the
democrats assembled at KeithsbuTg
That barroom train that went from
Rock Island to Aledo might have been
lost to history had not the Union
busted itself in distorting what was
going on at Kelthsburg.
Anent the Argus reference to the
established incOmpetency of Former
County Treasurer Cox. about which
the Union is so sensitive. it may be
said that nothing has been contained
in the columns of The Argus that does
not reflect the sentiment that is just
now prevailing all over the county, and
that is that Mr. Cox. while scrupulous-
~ honest himself and in every sense
a worthy man, is asking a good deal of
the people of the county to place him
back in the old Office. on the ground
that he deserves ii because his
deputy succeeded in embezzling public
funds.
Mr.. Cox was responsible for the con
duct of the office and his bondsmen
were obliged to make good the short
age of his assistant because he did
not exercise sufficient supervision
over the Office to prevent the miscar
riase of public funds. Mr. Cox was
in no sense a martyr He sought the
Office in the first place and did not
take it as a sacrifice to public duty.
He made canvass for the republican
nomination against equally deserving
aspirants in his own party just as he
did in the present instance. He had
n trial at the office. was unfortunate.
through no fault of the people. and
yet now seeks it again, despite the
claims of members of his own party
who have also sought it and failed to
land it. And the best argument that
can be made in his behalf is that he
got the worst of it the last time he
held it. Yet after all it was Mr.. Cox's
bondsmen. who in reality did the suf-
fcring. No one doubts Mr. CoX's per
sonal honesty and integrity, or his hon
orable intents now, but the people
want executive ability as well as hon,
est intent.
The Unions statement about Mr..
Schafer entrusting the duties absolute
ly to an assistant while in the same
Office is about as near to the truth as
the Union may be expected to get in
discussing things political. Although
Mr. Schafer had as competent and
trustworthy a deputy as could be
found in the county, he nevertheless
gave his personal attention day by day
to the office to which tse people elect
ed him and both he and his deputy
proved their worth to the fullest ex-
tent

BAD RUNAWAY IN DRURY
Mr.. and Mrs. Berne Reynolds and Two
Children Have Narrow Escape.

WEALTH TO BLAME
Governor Oeneen Declares Radi~
cal Legislation Peril to
Nation.
SPEAKS TO STATE BANKERS
Attitude of Employers OF Labor Makes
Public Ownership Growing
Issue.

Springfield H.. Sept. Ex-Governor
Deneen made strong speech in oppo-
sition TO government ownership of pub
lie utilities in addressing the Bankers
Association of Illinois at its annual
convention today.
Others VIII Act.
The governor said the action or large
employers of labor toward the enact
ment of laws for the protection of those
who labor against unnecessary risks Of
life. limb and health, and of railroads
TO relieve the situation has resulted in
unreasonable injustice TO many indus
tries.
He said he firmly believed if the en-
ployers fail to make wise suggestions in
reference to legislation applicable 10
their business and necessary TO the
common good they will shortly FIND
their business regulated by laws placed
upon the statute books by men not IA
miliar with the requirements. The
question of regulation or no regulation
is rapidly passing into the dangerously
radical issue of government regulation
or government ownership.
Tendency Grows.
While he deemed it hardly credible
that there is any immediate danger of
the triumph of the doctrine of govern
ment ownership. yet the tendency is
rapidly growing. Its proper antidote,
he declared. was to be found in a great
er participation Of the conservative Gle
ments of society in economic discussion
and in the political life and action Of
the community.

NO AGREEMENT
ON MEAT BILL
Senate and House I'm
able to Reach Accord
on Measure.
Split as to Payment for
Inspection and Dat
ing Tins.

WASHINGTON. June 26-The meat
inspection amendment to the agricul-
tural bill probably will be returned to
the Senate and House as cause of
disagreement. The conferees twice
had it under discussion today and the
indications are that the differences In
regard to the payment for inspection
by the packers or by the Government,
or whether the date of inspection must
be placed on cans of meat, are 1r-
reconcilable Another effort to get to-
morrow. A complete agreement was
bill.
Practically all of the important
amendments concerning the usual
features of the agricultural bill were
accepted by the House conferees. These
amendments include appropriations Of
5000 for the establishment at points
of export of laboratories to examine
and report upon the nature, quality
and condition of seed or grain, to
serve as a basis for the fixing of def
mite grades, and $4,000 for investigat-
ing the insect known as the white
fly which affects orange trees.
Amendments were retained providing
that 10 per cent of all money received
from each forest reserve each year shall
be paid to the States or Territories
in which the reserves are situated, to
be expended for the benefit of the pub
lie schools and roads; also the amend
ment for an investigation of the effect
of cold storage upon the-healthfulness
OF foods. An amendment eliminated
was that which provided for an in
vestigation of crops best adapted to
irrigated districts.
