Objectionable Post Cards.

The tremendous vogue of the illus
trated postal card is due to a mixed
case. In so far as it is employed as
message of love, friendship, courtesy
or business, it is legitimate and may
fill very happy office; but there IS
another aspect Of the craze which calls
for drastic action-and we are glad to
observe is receiving it. Many of these
cards, which are very largely printed
abroad, as we'll as in this country, are
Objectionable for reasons of coarseness
and vuIgarity. In the hands of per-
sons who are mischievous, wanting in
the moral sense and by low tastes they
may be very demOraliZing. The
government has endeavored to sup
press these cards, and although it has
been unable to accomplish the desired
end. At Columbus the other day, a
new tack was taken. One young man
was fined S25 and costs, and another in
addition to the fine was sent to the re-
formatory for year. the judge was
very severe in his condemnation Of the
practice, but none too much so.

Rock Islands Fine Building Show


The papers in adjoining cities and
throughout the state are commenting
complimentary on the splendid show
iEg in the building line made by Rock
Island during the year just closed as
exhibited in The Argus annual review
presented in its New Years eve edi
tion.
BY comparison with the reports of
other citits Rock Islands record be-
comes a source of peculiar gratifica-
ton and pride. Take Davenport, for
instance, where the Democrats fig
ures show an aggregate of 100000.
while in the second largest city in
Illinois, the Peoria Herald Transcript
places the total in that city at S90G,SS5.
Rock Islands total reaches approx
imatcly $1,500,000, independent of the
amount expended by the consolidated
street railway and light companies,
which was spent in the three cities
and not included in computing the
totals, but of which Rock Island alone
received several hundred thousand in
power plant improvements and track
laying, together with the outlay fol
20 new up-to-date cars that were built
at the company's shops in Rock Island
Included in the grand total of i'm
provements made in this city were the
new Twentyfourth street bridge bull
by the government and also the mu
nicipal expenditures for paving, side
walks, parks and other public work
But taking these items of public i'm
provements out, the total for new
buildings and additions in Rock ISLAND
as shown item by item in The Argus
figured $97S,0C0. of which amour
$350,00O went into dwellings alone
So that all things considered, cutting
out the public improvements notwith
standing that these works go into tn,
building actually done here, Rock Is
land did pretty nearly double what Da
venport did and exceeded Peoria b,
something like $61.00O
That's going-and then some.
