Gently Secretary of the Treasury un.
der Mr.. Roosevelt, said: "The strn.
gency of 1907 is generally conceded to
have been the severest the world has
ever Witnessed"
How consoling it is to read in the
republican platform this glowing sen.
tence: "a Republican tariff has al.
ways been followed by business pros.
perity."
Mr.. Aldrich, in his speech on the
Aldrich Currency bill in the Senate OF
the United States only last winter,
said:
MIR President, the financial crisis
from which the country has just
emerged, which eliminated in a serious
panic in October, was the most acute
and destructive in its immediate con-
sequences of any that has occurred in
the history of the country. Nothing
but the heroic measures taken by the
representatives of the great business
and financial institutions OF the coun-
try acting in cooperation with the
Secretary of the Treasury, prevented
a total collapse of private credit and
a disastrous destruction OF all values
The country was saved by the mar
rowest possible margin from an over.
wheIming catastrophe, whose blight
ing effect would have been felt in
every household"
From the public press is taken the
following news item coming from
Pittsburg, Pa, Feb s, 1908:
1.-The cry of the unemployed daily
grows more distressed in Pittsburg
There are $4,000 men idle, and the
spectre of the dreaded soup houses
again makes it's appearance. The first
soup house will be opened by the Sal
walton Army Monday morning, ant
unless there is a radical and prompt
change for the better, more places oil
this kind will be in demand before
many days have elapsed. The situa'
ton is not really alarming, but it Ia
! bad enough. Soup houses have been
the dread of the business men and
civic leaders, and every effort has been
,, made to avoid them"
Here is the following news item
from Chicago, dated Feb. II, 1908:
Chicago. Feb II. 1908, Never in
the history of the Chicago Relief and
Aid Society has there been such a
demand for assistance as at the pres
ent time, is the claim of Superinten,
dent Kingsly, who is in charge of the
distribution of funds by the business
mems relief committee, which has just
raised between $4,000 and 100000 for
| needy families. Never in the history
of the society have we had SO many
appeals based entirely on the lack OF
| employment"

MOLINE

Lay Mile in Two Weeks.-Exactly
one mile of Waterman has been lail |
by the Moline Heating and ConstruL-
ton company in the two weeks that
tie company's men have been engaged
in the suburb. This includes all the
work on First avenue between Fourth
and Ninth streets and south on Fourth
street to Third avenue. Owing to the
fact that there was not sufficient eight
inch pipe on hand to complete the
work on Second avenue the force of
men has been shifted to Third avenue
where the specifications call for six
inch pipe. They will continue east
on third avenue TO Ninth street.
Run to Fourth AVenue.-Elm street
cars now run on Fifteenth street al
most to Fourth avenue. A new SEIZED
ule was commenced last week in com
pliance with a request made recently
| by the city council in meeting of the
committee Of the whole. When the
| Elm street cars met the Blue line
cars the run was made TO Fourth ave
nue.. Since the Prospect park cars
have connected with the Blue line
cars those that travel the Elm street
line have been operated only to Fifth
| avenue.
Cut Down Old Tree.-It seems Il
shame to cut down a. magnificent Old
elm tree that has stood the storms of
rs years many people have thought of
the large elm tree in front of the
Judge Gould residence. The tree has
started to rot at the roots and to
eliminate the possibility of its fall
ing and thus causing serious damage,
it was thought best to cut it down.
Prizes for Gardens.-Saturday the
civic department of the Moline Won
ans club held a meeting to award the
prizes to school pupils for having the
best gardens in their respective school
districts. The pupils of the Grant
and Lincoln schools made the best
d. showing. there being more compel
itors and better results. Two of the
schools, the Washington and Irving,
did not compete.

told us:
1--WE do not read our tariff lessons
out of books We read them by the
blazing light of open furance doors
amid the noise of industrial activities
and in the sweat of our brows that we
coin into wealth, and God help the
man or party that would put out these
fires, still the music of that noise, and
send the workmen home to a foodless
and hungry household.
ut was under republican rule that
this music was stilled. that the fires
were put out, and that soup houses
had to provide for the foodless and
hungry"
No longer can any Republican ever
fool the people by claiming that "a
republican tariff has always been fol
lowed by business prosperity"
The time has come-the hour has
struck-for a change. Thousands of
Republicans take their positions and
will vote for Bryan in November.

still call our own. You never ask us
what we would like or would not like.
We are ruled by your laws and you
never try to make plain to us what
these laws mean. White people came
upon our land and built a chapel for us
there. Did they ask us If we wanted
it? Did they pay us for the land? Per-
hapg we would rather have had the
land for our farms. They want us to
have their religion. Would 1t not be
fairer If they built their chapel on their
own land and asked us then to come to
it? You want our children to go to
schools that you have for US. Do you
come to US old people first and tell us
about the schools, and explain to US
what the schools are for, so that we
may understand? We Indians only
knoT that schools will make our chill

Italian Lieutenant Establishes Secret
Service Branches in All Great
Cities Of Europe and
America
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Jan. "A plan, world
wide I'm it's scope, to crush out the BLACK
Hand" Malta and like organizations, has
been devised by Lieutenant Joseph Pc
trosini, head of the Italian branch or
the local detective bureau.
Petrosini has established correspond
ence with heads of the police departments
in Rome and other Italian cities, and
through them will learn whenever a brig
and or blackmailer has left the country
supposedly for America. He has estab-
lished similar connections with the police
of Chicago st. Paul, Minneapolis, Denver
San Francisco and New Orleans and many
smaller cities, and in this manner the
local police expect to keep track of the
leaders of groups and cliques in this
country.
Lieutenant Petrosini is aiding in the
organization of national body of Italian
Americans, which proposes to appeal to
congress to pass an immigration law to
cause a more careful examination OF i'm
migrants from Sicily and south Italy.
MANY undesirable citizens. men known
as successful brigands in Sicily and south
ern Italy, are permitted to enter America"
Lieutenant Petrosini said, "and they
should be kept out. When they reach
America they are admired and made lead
ers by the uneducated of their kind. and
soon are again at their old game of muir
der and hlackmai
This can only be stamped out by driv-
ing as many of them as possible out, be-
cause the average Sici.an is afraid to tell
of his prosecutors"
