Be OF GOOD CHEER.

II there be persons discouraged at
the apparently snail.like pace at
which the temperance sentiment 10
moving, let them note recent results
OF agitation In the east and be OF good
cheer. Sane men and women there
are still waging fight against the
saloon, and In Georgia have won total
prohibition. With this addition, four
states-Maine, North Dakota, Kansas
and Georgia-may be placed in the
prohibition column, and II is safe to
say that at least half the counties OF
every other state In the east are now
prohibition as q result OF local option
laws. That the government, state
or county should refuse to license
prostitution and gambling, two great
evils Of less import and comparatively
limited scope, and yet make legal the
greatest evil Of all is puzzle to many,
and to these the progress Of the prohi.
bition idea, as set forth In Golfers,
will come as good news. That publ.
cation says:

counties Of that state, no liquor IL

Of the most Important OF the seclet

THE LIGHT SCHEME
Permanent illumination of Rock
Island Business Thor
oughfares
THAT IS NOW UNDER WAY
Committees of Business Mems Associa.
ton and Odd Fellows Work
ing Together.

The committee representing the Rock
Island Business Mems association in
the efforts to make the street illumin-
alton TO be a feature of the Odd Fei-
lows convention to be held in Rock Is
land in June. permanent, is working
hard TO carry the most cOmmendable
project into effect. AS the Odd Fellows
convention comes on the same date Of
Secretary of War Tafts visit at the
instance of the Tri-City Press club, it
is hoped the presence of the distin-
guished visitor in the three cities may
prove an added incentive to making the
occasion a particularly attractive one
from the standpoint of street illumina-
ton.
The Plan.
The plan of the committee provided
for the arching of Second avenue from
Sixteenth to Twentieth street, and of
the latter thoroughfare as far south as
Fourth avenue. with arches of three or
four to the block, the same to be pro
vided with incandescent lights. which
| it is proposed to light every Wednes-
day and Saturday evening the year
around, so that Rock Island will have
a permanent system of illumination.
Extending 1t Eventually.
Later on it is hoped 10 provide i'm
posing iron arches at the street inter.
sections and extend the general scheme
to other streets, which will add to the
blaze of light that will shine over Rock
Islands business streets two nights a
week.
The committee of the Business Men's
association is working in conjunction
with the Odd Fellows committee in the
project and deserves hearty encourage
ment.

APPROVED BY DIRECTORS
Members Hear Addresses by State Se;-
rotary Green of Peoria and
Senator r. A. Landee.

The members of the Business Mems
association of this city were honored
at their special meeting and smoker at
Maths hall last evening with the pres
ence of State Secretary George Green
of Peoria and F. A. Landee of Moline.
senator of this district. The meeting
was called for the purpose of discuss
ing a number of questions that haze
come before the association since the
last meeting.
A large part of the time was devoted
to the plan of permanent decorations
for the city in the way of arches of
incandescent lights on Second avenue
and Twentieth street. Heretofore the
city has had a number OF conventions
and the streets were decorated as well
Jas possible for the time being. but after
the visitors left the decorations were
taken down and all the cost an entire
loss All the members OF the asSOcia-
ton expressed their opinion on this
matter, and all in the business district
where the lights are to be placed. and
even those on Third and First avenues,
who would derive little, if any, benefit,
were heartily in favor of the project.
The Rock Island city council some
time ago donated the sum of $500 to-
ward such decorations. The plan is to
have % of these arches on Second ave
niue and Twentieth street, each arch 10
have rs candle power lights at
tached The probable cost of installing
these lights would be $3.50, and the
cost of burning the lights after they
were once in place would be compare
lively nothing. The matter was brought
| up before the meeting by the board OF
directors of the association and was en-
dorsed after a lengthy discussion. It
is therefore probable that the city OF
| Rock Island in the near future will
have as attractive illumination as any
city of its size.

Talk of Merchants Day.

There had been talk among some OF
the merchants about having as a mer-
chants day event. an excursion on the
river This question was brought up
before the members and thoroughly
gone over A number of those present
were in favor of the plan, while others
thought it useless as number of the
business men would not go. The Acme
Packet company, through the secretary
of the association, presented figures for
boats both afternoon and night, ana
these were read. After a lengthy dis
cussion, motion was made by c. A.
Schoessel to leave the matter entirely
in the hands of the board of directors,
with power to act. Mr.. Huber then
moved that a permanent day be esta0-
lished for merchants day. This was
also left to the board.
