Keeping Faith With the cubans.

The world has seldom witnessed any
thing finer in history than the rcla-
tions of the United States with Cuba,
and some of our ablest statesmen urge
us TO continue our faith with them by
withdrawing from the island at the
appointed time and allowing them to
establish government OF their own.
Seldom, if ever, has the record Of
cures made by the famous Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters been equaled during
its 81 years experience. 1t has kept
faith with the public by proving all
the claims made for it, and if you have
never tried it, do so today. 1t cures
and prevents poor appetite, belching,
fiatuleney, sour stomach, costiveness,
dyspepsia, indigestion, liver and kid
ney ills, and malaria. fever and ague.
The genuine with private stamp over
neck of bottle, we guarantee absolute

FORM
POLITICAL CLUB
ization, Although Education is
Given as Aim.

Last evening a meeting of some of
the younger element of the republican
party was held at the Turner hall,
and steps taken to form a club, to
which, it is understood, membership
will be restricted TO those under a
certain age. The war horses are to
be made honorary members, but will
be denied the privilege of debate and
of active part in the club. The club,
while ostensibly formed for the pur-
pose of teaching the younger element
the stand pat" principles, appears
very much to be designed as a boost
ing organization to further the candi-
dacy of one of its members for the
states attorneyship in the fall cam
Ipaign. Those youngsters, G. C. Wen
ger, L. L. Hance and A. D. Phillips,
are among the promoters Of the club

united Christian party, at Rock Island,
ILL.,, May 1, received and studied with
great interest While | realize how
great the honor conferred upon me,
one of the humblest citizens of this
nation, by the action of that assembly
in nominating me as a candidate for
the vice presidency of this great ma
ton, to stand on that christian plat
form, and however deeply and keenly
| may feel my unworthiness for such
honor, | cannot get the consent of my
mind to refuse to accept it. / am fully
aware, as you so aptly express it, that
we are weak now, but that God is
strong: and while. as you say, the
Christian party is mere child at the
present time, still it may be the germ
of a mighty power whose influence is
bound in the not far distant future to
mold and elevate the standard of gov
eminent in this so-called Christian ma
ton. and through the influence of this
really Christiap.nation to be the power
and elevating' influence to christianize
and purify all other nations of the
earth.
God takes the weak things of the
world as His instruments in carrying
forward His great plans of love toward
the children of men. AS have already
said. this nomination by the Christian
party is far beyond my power of words
10 express. | should feel myself less
than man, to say nothing of being less
than Christian, if l should lightly and
fippantly throw aside such an honor
because while it may seem incredible
to human view, it still may be a part
of the great plan of the Eternal Father
for the highest good of the race
, Il pledge to you and yonr fellow
workers the best that is in me, with
Gods help, to honor the great cause
that has SO greatly honored me.

CAMPBELL TALKS.
Representative Says He Did
Not Consider Reports Repu-
diation of Governor.
EXPLAINS HIS VOTE ON IT
Claims Adoption Was Only Expedicnt
Way of Disposing of Matter
and Firing Committee.

In view of the fact that Representa-
tive Thomas Campbell voted for the
adoption of the Hill report on state in
situations in the lower house, thus con.
demning Governor Deneen's admins,
tration, has created much comment
here, Mr.. Campbell was today inter
viewed on the subject by an Argus
representative. 1t will be remembered
that Mr. Campbell was one of the adj
vance guard of the reception commit
tee which met the governor at Milan
on the occasion of his recent visit to
Rock Island, thus adding to the inter
est in his view of the matter
Snys It's Not a Reputation.
Mr. Campbell denied that in his vote
he had intended to be a party to re-
pudiating Governor Deneen. 81 think
that report does not SO severely crit.
icise the governor after ALL" he said
1.-The question was simply one of dis
posing of the report, and getting rid of
the committee" he added. There was
no fight made on the report, and
even the governors friends, some of
them, voted for the adoption of the
report.
Thinks 1t Unfair.
'For my part l think the investiga
ton to have been unfair in some re
spects," said Mr.. Campbell. He crit
icised the action of the committee in
not making comparison with former
administrations, and in not according
the administration side hearing. He
maintained that he does not entirely
approve of the report, but that it was
necessary to dispose of it or stay in
session at Springfield all summer 81
think that the state institutions are
run as well now as they ever have
been-perhaps BETTER" said Mr.. Camp
bell.
Mr.. Campbelfs attention was callej
to the fact that there was much crit
cism by republicans of this action, ant

Rock Island is to have still another

Cor to the secretary of state. The in
corporators are c. S. Mcdaniel, for
some years manager of the Rock Is
land Buggy company, and Harry Wul-
lenweber, formerly of Bloomington.
Leases Factory Building.
The new company has leased the
Negus building on First avenue be-
tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets, and proposes the manufacture
of fireless cooking chests and cabinets
for homes, hotels and restaurants, as
well as for automobiles and camping
parties. The fireless cooking cabinet
is novelty, or rather a practical
novelty, for which there seems to be
a good market as it may be used con-
veniently in house or camp during the
summer season without the heat of
attendant upon any other means of
cooking. The chests are made in vari-
Gus neat and attractive designs and
are SO constructed as to become hand
some pieces of furniture.
Both Practical Men.
The promoters of the enterprise are
both practical men and are push.
iers. and that they will succeed in the
new industry which they have given
to Rock Island seems an assured fact.
The offices of the company are 10
Gated in the Safety building, where
the same firm has established gen
eral insurance and real estate bust
ness.

May 6-Dear Sir: Your letter appris-

the United Christians in selecting me
as nominee for president, is hereby
acknowledged. Inasmuch as the prin-
ciples proclaimed meet my approval
the nomination is accepted. The prob
lens which confront our nation and
the rest of the world can be solved
by political and personal application
of the 10 commandments. the golden
rule and the wise and paternal prin-
ciples in the -honoring platform

strings that bring prosperity are in
the hand of God, and surely the Lord
will signally bless the only political
party which distinctively honors His
blessed name, His righteous law and
His own revelation of Himself in
Christ Jesus. Relying upon the grace

We should reduce the presidents sal
