A Matter of Great Importance.

The problem that has arisen over
| the assessment for storm drain pur-
poses, of the tract of land presented to
| the Rock Island Industrial commission
for factory development. is one that
should command the earnest consider
alton of the city council, and that body
should do all in its power to give sane
ton and encouragement to project of
such vital Importance to the city. The
generous donors of the land placed at
the disposal of new industries, had no
intimation of the fact that an assess
ment had been levied against it,
amounting, practically. to confiscation
of the ground, owing to the fact that
the ordinary means of notification
were ignored in this instance and it
was not until the Industrial commits
sion had taken control of the ground
for the purposes designed and had al
ready secured one new factory that the
actual situation developed.
The storm drain proposition is an
important one in itself. and it is to be
regretted that any proceeding in con-
nection with it's construction should
have arisen. that might just have been
avoided at the proper time AS it is,
the council is confronted with condi-
ton that demands immediate adjudica-
ton, for upon it depends the carrying
forward of the great work that has
been undertaken by the Industrial
commission for pushing forward Rock
Islands new factory district.
The Argus, for its own part, has no
dOllht that the cOunciI will no enIa1 IN
the emergency that presents itself and
will without delay give its cooperation
to the efforts that are being made to
convert unused lands in the lower end
of the city to hive of industry.

Millions Spent to
Make Clean Beer
Cleanest Manufacturing Process 1
That of An American Brewery.

We regard beer as a food and the
business or brewing beer one of our
most important Industries. When we
tell our readers that without exception
so absolutely clean in it's process of
manufacture Pabst, we speak from
exact knowledge of conditions. The
monster Pabst Brewery at Milwaukee
represents an outlay of millions of
dollars and many of those millions
have been expended to make the Pabst
exclusive process absolutely clean.
Pabst Beer stands alone today, the only
food product that from the beginning
to the end of its manufacture is abso-
terminating germs of the air.
Doctors boil their instruments in
water to sterilize them. Pabst boils
his brew in closed kettles and thus
sterilizes 1t. From there 1t passes
through to. steriliaed led pipes to sterilzed

sterilized pipes it goes to sterilized

is touched by human hands and comes
in contact only with sterilized air.
This process of manufacture is the
exclusive Pabst method. 1t is one rea-
son for the always the same, always
the best" reputation of Pabst Beer.
beer, Pabst Beer has no equal a
mild. healthful beverage. 1t is brewed
only from Pabst eight-day malt,
choicest hops and pure water. Pabst
eight-day malt, the perfect malt, con-
tafns all the food qualities of the finest
high food value and the Pabst exclu-
sfve process of brewing and thoroughly
aging the beer, that gives Pabst beer it's
rich, mellow flavor. its refreshing zest.

Mark Twain's Temerity.

Mark Twain, II years young" has
celebrated his perennial youth by set
ting a new winter fashion in dress
Arrayed in the whitest of serge appar.
ell, he has made Washington shiver
with establishment. The burden of
amazement is over Marks temerity in
departing from the prevailing style.
But he is young-old or old-young
enough to assert a sartorial individ-
uality.
In fact DR.. Clemens means that his
detection in raiment shall be inter
preted as an open attack on the
"frights" to which man is condemned
by freakish arbiters. He may not yet
realize what mischief he is likely to
play with the manly mode. What he
has done in a perfectly natural course
of evolution others may dare to do. In
stead of postrity cherishing his mem
DRY as that of the greatest joker, it is
apt to remember him as the great
apostle of freedom in dress.
When he claims this snow white suit
as his uniform, Mark is simply insist
ing upon everyone inventing his own
line of wardrobe. He admires the
peek-aboo waists and the low necks
and the short sleeves, but he sharply
notes that none of them are alike,
while the men folks look like crows in
evening dress and mudhooks in their
daily dingies.
Marks effort in his "cheerup"
clothes is simply carrying out his philo-
sophy that man is as young as he
feels and glad rags help him to
realize immortal youth.

Although Senator Plat of New York

Although Senator Plat of New York
is feeble in the extreme and moves
about only with great difficulty he has
savage aversion to anyone limiting at
his condition. He tottered out of the
senate while the presidents message
was being read and made for a wait
ing carriage. A stiff breeze blew his
coat tails wildly about and his thin
frame shook like a reed A capitol
policeman made bold to take hold of
the old mans arm as he tried to mount
the steps of the carriage and assist
him to enter. Ffercely the New Yorker
turned on the cop. What are you do
ing. sir?" snarled the senator "Only
trying to help you in your carriage,
SIR politely replied the bluecoat, with
a tremor in his voice. Get away from
me-" snapped Senator Plat imperious-
ly; Il don't need the help of you or
anybody else to get into my carriage"
The policeman scooted back to his
post

Question OF Ex-Presidents.

The story of Mr. Roosevelt's desire
to enter the United States senate al
the close of his career in the White
house, is still in circulation, says the
New York World. Meanwhile, John
Bigelow renews and presents in
pamphlet form his argument for a con
stitutional amendment under which re-
firing presidents shall become sen
ators without further action. "Our
Ex-Presidents," reads Mr.. Bigelow's IT,
tie; What Shall We Do for Them
What Shall They Do for Us?"
The idea of giving senatorial places
to former chief magistrates of the re-
public is very old. Under discussion. it
has presented always as a splitting
point of opinion the question as to the
voting power of the new class of SEN
ators. Mr. Bigelow meets the point
squarely. Each senator shall have
one vote" This is proposition to
overthrow the principle of state equal
ity in the senate, without the accept
ance of which the constitution itself
tons to this change are not met by
Mr.. Bigelow's argument based upon
differences in state populations.
1t was because there were big states
and smaller ones that the rule of two
senator's each was fixed. Representa-
ton on a popular basis was left to the
other house of congress.
Until the last spark of jealousy be-
tween states shall be extinguished
there will be little hope for Mr. Bige-
lows scheme entire General consent
might be obtained to proposition that
former presidents should sit as honor
airy members and advisers of the SEN
ate. But this position of limited USE
fulness would scarcely satisfy the as
pirations of man like Mr.. Roosevelt.

PROBABLE THAT MINCK BREW.

NEXT YEAR.
RECEIVE A BIG CONTRACT
Will Supply Marion Soldiers Home
With Beer for Medicinal Pur-
poses-New Pasteurizer.

The Minck Brewing Co., of this
city has been awarded the contract
for supplying beer to the Marion,
Ind, Soldiers Home for the next
three months. This beer is to be
used for medicinal purposes, and it
is a feather in the cap of the local
concern, to have been able to secure
the contract, as the beer was chosen
for quality and pureness, rather than
price. There were five large brew
cries competing for the prize. This
kind of a contract is let every three
months at the Soldiers Home and
the Minck Brewery people think that
they will have no trouble in renewing
their present agreement when it ex-
pires.>
The export trade at the Minck
Brewery is growing to such proper
tions that recently it was found nee
essary to establish a new p%asteuriz-
er, or steaming tank. If the export
trade continues to keep up its same
ratio of increase the brewery officials
state that it will be necessary to
build an addition to- the brewery next
year. Minck beer is now sold all
} over Indiana and Western Ohio. The
concern has recently received some
very attractive signs and they are
now being placed in front of the va
rious saloons in the city.
