Place at Sears Closed.

Rock Island failed to go dry at the
election April Z, but 1t certainly was
dry yesterday. Every saloon in the
city, so far as can be learned, was
closed tight all day, and in nearly ev-
cry case the. deserted interior could be
seen from the sidewalk. Chief Eek
hart of the police department stated
today that the police learned of no
place being open, and that there seem
cd to be no disposition anywhere to
violate the orders issued by Mayor
Schaffer
There are a few saloons that have
not complied in full with the mayors
orders relative to stalls and partitions,
and others which will be required to
have the paint removed from the front
windows or doors to certain extent
before new licenses will be issued for
them. The mayor insists that the sa
loon doors and windows must be ar
ranged so that on Sunday the interior
may be seen from the sidewalk. He
insists that there be an unobstructed
view of the saloon.
First I'm Long Time.
Yesterday was the first Sunday in
many months that the town was en-
tirely closed as far as the saloons are
concerned In 1905 for few Sundays
part of the saloons were closed, but
it is beyond the remembrance of mos,
residents that all saloons have been
closed all day Sunday.
The situation was brought about
quietly, by the mere notice given by
Mayor Schaffer that the license of any
place violating the law is to be re-
yoked Immediately.
The saloon at Sears was closed at
well, seemingly voluntarily, since the
sheriff denied the report that he had
notified the proprietor, Emil Luch-
mann, to close his place of business.
The conditions yesterday are to ap-
ply hereafter, Mayor Schaffer states,
as long as the present administration
of the city is in power.
Open i'm Moline.
In Moline the lid was not down as
1t was here, and there was a notice
able increase in the street car traffic
from Davenport and Rock Island to
Moline.
Whether the situation in Moline will
remain as it was yesterday remains to
be seen.

STRAY THOUGHTS
OF a Crank.


The happy. successful farmer has
many friends w.th odd names. Havve
YOU ever noticed 1t?
He has Experience. Contentment,
Patience, Mercy, Faith. Hope. Charity
and Love. You will find yourself hap
py and successful, too, when all these
can be found under your roof.
Did you ever notice how much good
there is in honest laughter? The man
who is laughing never strikes his
horse or COW at that time, neither
does he kick the dog.
Any story, the reading of which
made one life brighter, one household
happier. one heart less sad, was well
worth the writing.
The compensation should be equal
for men and women. where the
amount of work done and the quality
are the same.
A mule once drew a heavy load up
a steep hill; when he had almost
reached the top he kicked himself
loose and the load rolled down the
hill. That mule had to go back and
draw the same load to the top of the
same hill again There are lots of
mules in the world. Ponder and be
wise.-From December Farm Jour

LEAVE THE FLEET HERE.

1t is now announced that America
and Japan have reached an agree
ment whereby they will mutually
guarantee the entity of China and the
open door policy. BY reason of the
treaty danger of strife between the
two countries is greatly lessened.
1t is to be hoped that the agreement
will hold and that it will permanently
insure peace between the two coun-
tries. Peace "A sweet and war is as
General Sherman defined it, If indeed
it is not worse.
But nevertheless the United States
should keep a good battleship fleet
upon the Pacific. 1t is possible the
sending of the Atlantic fleet to the
orient was one of the strong cards
the administration played in its dip
lcmatic game with the mikado.
Then it is possible the future will
bring forth diplomatic problems other
than those arising out Of China. In
the agreement between the two coun-
tries there is seemingly nothing upon
the subject of oriental exclusion from
the United States nor anything defin-
ing the status Of japanese children in
the schools Of the Pacific coast.
At the present time these problems
are not really serious. But if Japan
ese immigration continues as it has in
the past. a race problem is going to
arise in the states along the Pacific.
II may DE 4 difficult one to solve if
allowed to go too long.

contented, prosperous people who own
valuable land under the project and
are making money.
