BRILLIANT AURORA FOR
EXPOSITION OPENING
Officers, However, DiscIaim Credit for
Same as Part of the General
illumination.

Members of the Rock Island EXPOSE
ton company disclaim any responsible
ity in connection with the magnificent
display of the aurora borealis last ev-
ening. Some supposed that the illum.
ination of the north was part of the
general scheme in connection with EX-
position park, and others were of the
opinion that it had been arranged by
Davenport as a counter attraction.
However, both theories seem to be I'M
founded. The display of the northern
lights" was one of the most brilliant
ever seen here, though full view of
it was cut off by bank of clouds low
ON the horizon. At times two rings
were visible, but the perpendicular
shafts of light were not clearly seen.

MIR. BOOT Is RIGHT.

Secretary of State Elihu Root urges
that Congress increase the annual ap-
preparation for the diplomstie service
by $3.50, OO0 in order that our ambassa-
doris and ministers may live in bette I
houses and ia more desirableGstreets
in the capitals to which they are sent
than they are able to do at present on
the governments small allowance.
The largest salary which any diplo-
matte representative of the United
States receives is SIT, $780,, paid to the
a ambassadors, and in addition to that
salary there is an allowance of $e8 a
month for rem of house Now, while
rents are lower abroad than they are
in this country, the ambassador usu-
ally feels called upon to select a more
elegant abode thar can be secured for
the money allowed by the government
He does this, not for the sake Of ''put-
ting on style,7 but simply shat he may
live in a manner in keeping with the
dignity of his sigh eff %. And in oe--
cupying a suitable house he must sup
plement the governments allowance
by drawing On, his private means,
which is all wrong. of course.
Great Britain pays Its ambassador
to France $45, O0e a year and in addi-
ton provides him. with a large con-
tingent fund. The British ambassador
to Germany receives a salary of $780,
900 and liberal Expense money"
When the United State government
was starting out the members of its
diplomatic corps wisely maintained al
air of extreme simplicity as betting
the representatives of a new republic
Door in worldly resources, but proud
and free. Moreover; rigid economy
would have been absolutely necessary
in the early wears OF this country's
career. But after the government
waxed in power and accumulated an
abundance in the treasury, high Off
Gals continued to be- poorly paid. To-
day, this is a wealthy nation and there
is no, excuse for any of it's official rep
r~esentatives being underpaid. While
a Watchdog OF the treasury will alt
ways be in order to- prevent extrava-
ganee and waste. Secretary Root is
| right in urging nor liberal treatmen
for our ambassadors and envoys extra
ordinary. SeveraE Thousands OF dol
lars could be allowed for each of ou1
missions without encouraging imperial
pomp or violating in the least oul
Republican traditions.
