The activity of the Republicans of Alabama in putting out State ticket. inent in the party for ability beyond the average. is q reflex of local party issues that have been fraught with bitter personal feeling, and a desire for revenge in the failure to run, prompted some impulsive, hotheaded Democrats to declare their intention of supporting Republican rather than the nominee whose candidacy was opposed. This is unworthy of true Democrats, and a dangerous tendency toward Democratic disintegration. Pull together, men, and work for the nominee with a will

 The Home prints today Montgom- cry special to The Mobile Register, which is something of review of the Jelks administration. The article does no more than give Governor Jelks his dues, and when one begins to contem- plate the success of hfs administration he at once realizes that the Governor Is the quiet man who does rather than says things.

For After Consideration.

Birmingham Ledger.
 No system is good, however, unless men are honest. The results in this county and in Walker have made peo- pie more wary of any more primaries. The next thing must be something else, Either we must invent a new way to nominate or we must do without nomi- ations. There is a widespread idea that we can do away with nominations, right this time. and let's talk of an other plan later.

 We believe that God will not prosper a man who makes his money out of blind tigering. Sooner or later his for tune will be swept away or some ter rible disaster will overtake him.

The man who violates the laws of his land openly, fragrant ly and boastingly, cannot keep the laws of God, and sooner or later will have to pay the penalty.

RENEWED ANXIETY
Is FELT IN CITY
Rock Island People Stirred by Report
from Los Angeles as Well as
San Francisco.

The anxiety so manifest on the part
of people in Rock Island for the safety
of relatives and friends in California
naturally continues. The late dispatch
es appearing in last night Argus, that
advices had been sent the war depart
ment to the effect that Los Angeles
had been stricken aroused even keen
err interest than had been before evinc-
ed, owing to the fact that SO many
Rock Island people are there either as
residents or visitors. Throughout the
evening people crowded about The Ar.
gus bulletins to learn more of the sit,
uation at Los Angeles as we'll as at
San Francisco, and when among the
evening bulletins was one stating that
while Los Angeles had experienced an
earthquake, that it occasioned more ex-
element and alarm than damage or in
jury it occasioned much relief
With the appalling disaster at San
Francisco before them it was natural
that the people Of Los Angeles should
be in a high state Of nervous excite.
ment and easily moved Consequently
when the first tremor came they rush
ed into the streets and much confusion
prevailed When the shock had passed
relate, they returned to their homes
and places of business.
While some reassuring advices have
been received in response to the many
kilograms sent out from Rock Island to
relatives and friends in the far west,
there has been a continuation
all day today of the interest in
the bulletins, while constant inquiries
have been made of The Argus by tele-
phone as TO the latest news from San
Francisco and Los Angeles. Today
news came that Mr.. and Mrs. |. S.
White, child and nurse probably es-
capped the earthquake.
Benjamin Petit of Seattle, who is
visiting in Rock Island and who re
turns home Monday is anxious about
his own city. He states that while
Seattle usually feels the shock of earth
quakes down the coast, there never
has been severe one there. The late
disturbances were of such an alarming
nature, however. that the people there
are apprehensive of subsequent
quakes.
The incidents of the past three days.
have served 10 again demonstrate the
unreliablity of the sO-called afternoon
Chicago papers. which reach this city
about $3.50 each afternoon and have
been in the habit of finding ready
street sale. When the batch came
Wednesday and without SO much as a
word about the San Francisco calamity
the newsboys themselves, who had
| been busy for hours selling The Argus
extras, refused to handle the Chicago
edition and 1t remained a dead weight
on the hands of the local dealers. The
| Chicago evening papers that reach
Rock Island during the day are fakes
pure and simple. They contain nc
more than the regular morning papers
in Chicago, except that it is gotten up

YOUNG MEMS SUITS.
Correct Dressers Recognize M. G. X. as
Fashionable Headquarters.

We know what young men want in
clothes, and we make it our business to
have the proper thing. Our spring
suits have the swagger look SO dear to
the heart of. young dressers. Coats
just the right length, cut chesty and
shapely at the backs, lapels wider and
longer. some with side vents, trousers
loose with the fullness where 1t be-
longs-the brightest ideas from the
best makers; suits that are everything
the young man wants. A wide range OF
styles and prices from $40 to $27. A
little more quality and little less
price makes the M. & K an attractive
trading place.
