tire number laid off in the Silvis shops
last Thursday night resumed work
this morning. The closing of the
shops in connection with a policy of
|retrenchment all over the Rock. Island
system, proved just what it was stated
lit would be, only temporary. There
are AZ engines in the machine shop
at the present time undergoing re-
|pairs. Twenty-seven more disabled
engines are in the yards awaiting
their turn. During the month of
March 35 engines were completely
Ioverhauled and restored to service.
Nominate in East MoIine.-Cau-
cuses were held by the citizens party
of East Moline Monday night and
three candidates for aldermen were
chosen. The caucuses were well at
tended and quite a fight developed in
the First and Third wards. The can
didates are: First ward, Albert Berg
foltz; Second ward. Peter STANCE;
Third ward, Al Scheppers.

Sprinkler Worked This Time.-Had
it not been for the automatic sprinkler
system installed in the large store
| house of the Rock Island railroad
shops of Silvis. it is very probable
that the whole building would have
been destroyed by fire Monday. A
small blaze had been started presum
ably from spontaneous combustion and
when the flames had become hot
enough the blaze was extinguished in
short order. The water caused the
most damage.

rauder entered the Rock Island pas

We doubt that Pearl Harbor when
completed will be the only war base
in the United States of America. We
are satisfied that the American people
will not consent to having all the
principles of self-government over
thrown. in times of peace, in order
TO establish war bases in any part of
the islands or mainland under the
Flag
The anti-lmperialists say that our
country is heading toward militarism
with all its attendant evils. Nothing
could better suit their cause or be
more distasteful to the trend of
American sentiment than to have II
develop that the defense OF any por-
ton of the country demands that the
municipal governments and local con-
troll must he destroyed in times of
peace and the people ruled by per-
petual oligarchy.
Pearl Harbor can be made a war
base without wrecking the founda-
tion principles of American govern
ment. If 1t cannot, the American
people will call halt on Pearl Har-
Sor and let the principle live.
The overthrow of the Territory Is
not necessary to the success of Amer

THOSE BRAZILIAN BATTLEShlPS,

South American countries have
built so many ships of war which
sooner or later found their way into
the lists of the leading Powers of the
world, that considerable speculation
has resulted from the construction of
three Dreadnoughts building in Brit
ish shipyards for the Brazilian Gov
eminent.
These are thoroughly modern
warships. The Minas Gereas will be
ready in the fall of next year, the
Sac Paulo by the spring of 1910, and
the Rio de Janeiro by the spring of
1911.
With a regularity that keeps step
with the silly rumors of war, these
ships have been credited as being des-
tined for the japanese navy. That
theory is pretty well dispelled by
George Fiennes in an article in the
Nineteenth Century. lie found that
the japanese were in no way eXercis-
ing supervision over the construction
of these ships, which, for that mat
ter, they could have built in secret in
their own yards. In spite of gem
oral likeness in plan, they were not
being built according to methods
which the japanese Admiralty uni
formly enforces. Furthermore, the
Brazilian Naval Commission has de-
clared that the three battleships We're
part of an old program which had
been delayed for years because of
fears that the Brazilian navy was
anti-republican in sentiment.
Mr.. Fiennes also cites the fact that
"since the era of armored ships be-
gan no minor power has ever possess
ed vessels which We're right up to the
standard of the latest and most pow
orful designed for the leading Pow
ers, and If any have approached 1t
they have always been bought by one
or the other of those leading Powers
He recalls that other South American
states have sold their warships. In
! 1895 Japan bought the cruiser Id
zumi and in 1899 the armored cruls-
ers Iwate and ldzumo from Chill. In
1903 Great Britain took over the
bastleships Triumph and Swiftsure
from Chill to insure against their
passing into Russia's hands, and ia
pan bought the armored cruisers Ka-
suga and Nisshin from Argentina.
An interesting situation is pro-
duced II minor Powers like those OF
South America are to go into the
business of building navies for sale
or hire. All the carefully laid pro-
grams of the Naval Powers are likely
Ito be thrown into confusion. In
time of emergency there might be
keen bidding for these extra war
ships and minor Powers would be
able to pocket handsome profit.

WHERE ARE TIE CANDIDATES?
Bring out the candidates.

BRING out the candidates,
With the nominating conventions
for the Legislature and the Munich
pality TO be held within the next few
weeks and the delegates elected, the
number of known candidates for the
Republican ticket is limited to four
or five.
We know the probable candidates
for Mayor. What of the men for the
Senate, and for the House. and for
the city Board of Supervisors?
They are all apparently playing
the clay low" part in preferred style.
The presumption is that the Re-
publican executive officers of the
County will be renominated on the
city ticket. They deserve it, They
have done good work. They can be
reelected.
But what of the legislative bodies?
Why are more candidates not coming
INTO THE OPEN so that the COM
munity may size them up previous
TO the convention.
The people should know the prob
able material that will go before the
convention. 1t is good politics and
prevents many mistakes of snap
judgment, likely in any convention.
Let the candidates declare them
selves. Let them come into the open
row, SO that they may be the better
assured of hearty support after the
convention adiourns.
