SUPERIORITY OF ENGLISH.

- NGLISH is spoken by about 150.-
000,0 900, and Spanish by about So
600, 900 people. The difference ia
not due to any inherent superiority of
the English language, but to the super
iority of the English stock. The Eng
lish not only have the greater genius
for commercial and political coopera-
ton and colonizing, but they have. AS
well, built up their institutions on the
enduring basis of r-ightcousneSs and re
spect for law. Spanish is incomparably
more musical than English. and is
practically phonetic. whilc English ii
handicapped by its arbitrary spelling.
ON the other hand, English is often
briefer. though not always. Spanish
can say 81 shall go" in one Word-,Tre.'
The great advantage Of English is its
double vocabulary, one of Teutonic and
one of the power to assimilate words
from nice distinctions. 1t has also ac-
quired Latin origin, which enables it
10 make every language under the sun.
These facts, together with the greater
intellectual activity of the English race
in many fields of human endeavor. have
swelled its vocabulary to startling fig
ures. The STANDARD Dictionary contains

Spanish dictionary contains half as

mo EXCUSE FOR IT
advance in Price of Coal Can
not Be Charged to Rail
roads This Time.
IsT. PAUL OFFICIAL SAYS
Facilities for Handling Are Not
Taxed, Neither Are Mines Work
ing to the Limit.

Chicago, Dec. 14-Offlcials of st.
Paul railroads are insisting that there
is movement among the coal produc-
ers to increase the price of that COM
modify, making the switchmen's strike
the excuse for so doing. An effort is
being made. It Is claimed, to make the
public believe that there is scarcity
Of coal and an inability on the part of
the railroads to handle It.
In order TO relieve the mind OF the
public in the northwest and prove that
there is no danger of a coal famine,
the st. Paul roads began yesterday TO
haul coal from the Illinois fields TO
the twin cities in train loads. BY
tomorrow or next day enough coal will
be poured into the northwest to prove
that the railroads are able to handle
all of that commodity that is needed.
Shortage at Mine Denied.
For the purpose of further relieving
the public apprehension which has
arisen on account of the statements
with respect to the coal situation, rail-
road managers have had a canvass
A1du0 OIL Jn6 mines dlOuS Luelr INES.
The result is the statement that none
Of the Illinois mines are running full
time on account of the slack demand
for coal
Taking a lesson from the coal short
age several years ago which the inter
state commerce commission said exist
ed IN the northwest, the railroads, this
year, began storing coal early in the
fall, with the result that there is
large supply in that territory. There
is undoubtedly a movement on foot
to increase the price of coal" said
general manager yesterday, "and also
a determination to make the railroads
the excuse. We are handling all the
coal that is ordered and could easily
handle more. We are not trying to
prevent the coal men from increasing
the price of their commodity, but we

DRINK THE CAUSE
Carl r. Anderson, Embezzling
Cashier, Makes Confession
of His Crime.
FIRST TOOK SMALL SUMS
When 1t Reached $500 He Feared He
Would Be Discovered and De-
cided to Skip.

Carl r. Anderson, Moline, the young
from the local office of the United
States Express compI n.y. and who was
caught and is now under arrest at the
county Jail. has made a full and com.
plete confession. He says that he had
been under the influence of liquor for
nearly three weeks and he lays the
blame for his crime on that fact
About the time he began drinking
to excess, he commenced taking little
sums of money from the safe at the
Office and before long it amounted 10
5000. He says that he intended to pay
this amount back, but gradually the
realization came that he was not max
ing a salary sufficient to allow him to
pay back such large sum before he
was found out and this fact rendered
him desperate. Then he decided that
it was better to steal as much as he
could and get out of the city than to
say here and be found out.
AS was told last evening, he took
the money and started for st. Paul,
but was arrested in Davenport and
brought back here. Having sobered
up entirely, he is very much broken
up over his crime and has no desire 10
escape the consequences. AS yet he
has not engaged an attorney to defend
him against the charge which it Is ex-
pected will be returned against him by
the next grand jury and it is more
than likely that he will not take this
step. His friends are trying to arrange
bail for him in order that he may be
released from custody. His bond Is
$4,000.

M. g K. New Store
To Have New Front and
New Stock
BUILDING TO BE REMODELED

The NJ. & K are determined to open
their immense new store with not
only an entirely new front, newly
remodeled building, but every stitch
of the stock new, as we'll.
That the NJ. & K will succeed in
this determination is evidenced by
the crowds in attendance at the Sell
ing Out to Branch Out Sale Every
day the crowds grow bigger. The
people are quick to appreciate a good
thing, and when the NJ. & K. make
use of the words Special and ''Re-
duction" the public has learned to
know that the words are never
abused but rather it is the custom of
the NJ. 6 K. to give more than news
paper promises call for. 1t is keep
ing faith with the public that brings
about the response. This is to be
parting treat in the present quarters,
but one which will be long and kind
ly remembered.
1t is rare, indeed, that during the
month of December one has such
splendid opportunities. NJ. & K.
wish to emphasize that not a stitch
of their present stock will be carried
into their new building when they
open in the spring. M. & K know
what is required to bring about this
result, and their generous reductions
show it.

preme court objections, the governor
and Mr.. Jones have drawn five pri-
mary bills, all of which are to be sent
to the two houses today.
An interesting feature of the princi-
pal bill is a provision for an advisory
vote on United States senator, and des-
ignates the plurality vote Of the en-
tire state as the guiding instruction
tricts.
An advisory vote is also provided
on candidates for president and vice
president of the United States.
This was the feature proposed in
the last bill to be declared unconstitu-
tional, which was opposed by Speaker
Cannon and finally stricken from the
bill.
Bill No. 1 provides a direct plurality
primary for all Offices except represen-
tatives in the general assembly and
officers in cities, villages. townships
and school districts. All registered
voters are entitled to vote at the pri-
mary and all qualified primary cleo
tors not registered are entitled to vote
by filing an affidavit 20 days prior to
any primary election showing the facts
which make them qualified electors.
The affidavit is subject to the provis-
ions OF the general election law as to
suspect notice. If no disqualification
appears, the name of the elector fling
the affidavit shall be placed in the reg
istration books.
The names are to be printed on the
ballot In the order determined by a
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-12-14

for each of two or three votes for one
candidate
Bill No. 4, which is really the sec
ond alternative form of bill No. 8, pro
vides that the senatorial committee
may merely suggest the number of
candidates the party will nominate,
which suggestion will be printed on
the primary ballot. The elector will
determine this vote, whether the party
shall nominate one, two or three can
didates. The elector may cumulata
his vote among one, two or three can
didates.
Petition Plan Submitted.
Bill No. provides for nomination by
petition for such cities, villages and
Incorporated towns as wish to adopt
the law by referendum vote. Any city
adopting the petition plan of nOmina-
ton provided by this bill would thereby
take themselves out from under the di
rect primary. The bill also provides
for referendum to discontinue the pc
tition plan of nomination and go back
to the primary plan of nomination.
Democrats Are United.
Thomas Tippit, leader of the Tipplt
element among the house minority, has
issued statement in which he said
that he was for direct primary, and
that in his opinion democrats would be
for it almost to a man. Lee O'Neil
Browne and his friends have already
said they are in favor of direct pri-
maries, so that the Tippit utterance
is taken to indicate that, although the
two factions in the house minority may
not harmonic on all matters, still they
will be together on primary measure.

Population Limit Fixed.
Bill No provides direct plurality
primary for all cities. villages and in
corporated towns having a population
of 5000 or over The law is optional
as to other cities and can be adopted
by referendum vote. The general pro-
visions of bill No. 2 are the same as

Bill No provides a direct plurality
primary for representatives in the gen
eral assembly. The bill has been draft
ed in two forms, both of which are be
lieved to meet the requirements of the
supreme court decisions According to
the first form. the senatorial commit
tee fixes and determines the number of
candidates the party will nominate
