WAS MONEY IDLE?
Union Exposes Unbusinesslike
Methods of Man Seeking
Reelection
me- M. AS COUNTY TREASURER
Seems to Have Kept Thousands oil
Dollars Lying in Vaults Bear
ing No Interest.

The Unions defense of Pleasant F.
Cox as candidate for the office of coun-
~ treasurer continues TO be as lament
ably weak as its defense of the remain
der of the county ticket. In the latest
effort in this direction some exceeding
~ damaging assertions are made
One u these is that the entire saw
ings from Mr. Ccx's salary was taken
from the vaults of his Office by the de-
faulting deputy. This is alleged to
have left him without ready money and
in financial straits personally. There
is no reason to doubt that this is true
The records show that Mr. Cox drew
his full salary. $1.700, in September of
each year. He had been paid in full
for his term of office at the time of the
defalcatiOn referred to. He undoubted-
ly saved large portion of the total
amount. for he did not live extrava-
eantly and had other resources. But
if. as alleged. he allowed several thous-
and dollars of his money to lie idle ac-
cumulating from year TO year in the
vaults of the county when there are so
many good banks in Rock Island coun-
~ willing to have given him per
cent interest for the use of it. and TO
offer safer repository than the treas
urer's Office could possibly be. then Mr..
Cox assuredly is not the kind of bus
mess man the county needs in charge
OF it's finances
Supery iSi0n Was Poor.
If, as has been intimated. the deputy
took some $4,000 in one lump, and it
was not missed for several weeks, it
must be confessed that deplorably poor
supervision of the office was exercised
or the amount would have been
missed at once Ii would be a poor
guardian of the county's funds who
would have on hand idle such a large
sum that $4,000 would not be missed
at a glance. On the other hand. if the
sum taken was extracted gradually. the
fact should have been noted before
the man who took it had been gone
two weeks.
The Union ends by observing that
the experience will render Mr. Cox a
better official than he would have been
otherwise. That may be true. 1t is
also true that there are others who
have never had the experience who,
BY nature and training, are fitted To
avoid such blunders as were made dur
ing Mr.. CoX's administration.
Another Kind of Experience.
But, speaking of experience, why not
elect to the Office a man who has dur
ability TO safely and ably handle the
cOunty's funds without suffering per-
sOnal disaster in acquiring the know
how? Such man is John Schafer of
Port Byron

DIVERTED FUNDS
Sufficient Money Collected for
Court House Purposes to
Pay for Building.
EUT WAS USED OTHERWISE
Can Present Regime Expect to Make
Amy Better Showing in Future
on Same Income?

In defending the administration of
The county's affairs during the later
years of the half century or so of the
present regime. the Union. which has
taken upon itself the mission of chief
apOlOgist. continues To demonstrate
that il has heavy task on its hands.
In an article of some length last night
practically everything that The Argus
has said regarding the manner in which
the present floating debt OF the county
has accumulated. is admitted to- be
true. though some features referred TO
are studiously avoided. No denial is
made of the fact that there has been
collected from the taxpayers of the
county in the last 10 years for court
house purposes practically all that the
building has cost and the interest on
the bonds as well. In the face of all
this. the floating debt has grown. and
is still growing.
There can be but one conclusions:
The money that was collected TO be
expended for court house purposes was
used for something else.

Penalty for Ofensc.

The offense is punishable by fine
the statute covering this Offense being
as follows: Every owner, occupant
lessee, mortgage, or other person in
possession of any premises upon which
any gambling devises may be located
and any person in the use, operation,
lease or other possession of the same

the first Offense. and for the second of
Tense shall be fined not less than $500
and be confined in the county Jail not
less than six months. and for the third
Cfrense shall be fined not less than
$500 and shall be imprisoned in the
penitentiary not less than two years
nor more than four years"

Martin Schoonmaker. the Reynolds

could be saved and used in meeting
extra expense incurred above the esti-
mate for the building. What became
of the money that was to have gone
into that sinking fund and why was it
not used in reducing the floating in
debtedness?
Even accepting as true every asser-
ton that the Union has made and evr
cry conclusion it has drawn. for the
sake of the argument, it is perfectly

Chinese Boycott on American
 Educator at Paotingfu.

Agitation Against Our Goods Reviv- ed-PckinE Annoyed at Refusal of Congress to Amend the Ex-
 clusfOn Laws

PEkING. Feb. ,. = Yuan Shi Kai, . viccroy Of the province of Chilli, has discharged Professor C. D. Penney, the foreign director of education, who or ganized the new school system in this province and within three years made it a model for the empire.
 Strong opposition has arisen lately to foreign management of the schools and particularly against Dr. Penney be- cause he is an American. Yuan Shi !; Kai told Dr. Penney that lie appre- ciated his work. but Yuan Shi kai has so many enemies that he could not af- ford t0 keep him. Professor Penney was an appointee of Yuan Shi Kai and started the con struction of the college at Paotingfu. the seat of the viceroy.
 In July. 1900. at the time of the Boxer uprising. Dr. Penney was presi- dent of the University of Tientsin He became angry over the nightly enter- tainments given by the high officers of
 
 the forces to march from Tientsin to Peking. offering to guide the army thither.
 This business is not progressing in accordance with Anglo-Saxon tradi- tions,'' he said. Twenty thousand sol diers staying here while women and children of their own race are starving and awaiting massacre eighty miles away. military and naval officers mean- while wasting time in pickering over petty politics. is a sorry spectacle. It will be dark blot on the reputation of every commanding officer here if the white people in Peking are allowed to perish without a desperate effort to save them." ...,
 The boycott agitation against Ameri- can goods is being revived. When it began Mir Rockhill. the American min ister. and the American consuls urged the Chinese to wait until congress had time to act on their demands. and the failure of congress to do so has arous- ed their resentment
 Strong pressure has been brought to bear upon the government to remove E. R. Drew. the commissioner of GUS toms at Canton. who is considered one of the ablest men in the establishment of Sir Robert Hart, director general of maritime customs, because he is an American.

KinE .christian Lies Amid Bright Flowers In the "Ga rden" Room.

KinE Christian Lies Amid Bright
 Flowers In the "Garden" Room.
 COPENHA AGEN. Feb. 5.--There was an impressive memorial service over the body of King Christian in the garden" room of the palace last night. All tine members of the royal family were present, but otherwise the cere- mony wss strictly private. The re- mains are covered with two Danish flags and lie amid banks of the rarest flowers and surrounded by wreaths of lilies. pink and white roses, vioIets, lilies of the valley and carnations.
 On the coffin is the brass helmet. with it's plume and the crossed sword and scabbard. worn by King Christian when he was the captain of the Danish Horse guards. the standards of which regiment are planted on either side of the head fianking two enormous silver candelabra from the collection of the Danish kings at Rosenberg.
 A massive silver cruciix stands on a white covered table, while palms and ferns are arranged in the corners of the room to complete the picture of i'm pressive simplicity.
 The entire absence of black from the garden room is noteworthy.
