CITY ENGINEER WILL
GET A LARGER
SALARY
DEPARTMENT TO BE UNDER
ASEPARATE COMMISSION
Extra Men Employed on Re-
commentator Of Committee;
Offers From Consulting En-
gineers Under Consideration,

The salary of the city engineer was
raised to s135 a month by the city
council at its meeting last night al
which a number Of matters relating
to the sewer and engineers depart
ment were taken UP for consideration.
The city engineers work will here
after be under a special commission
consisting of the chairman of the
building committee and the W and
the engineer Will be charged up to
the department with which it is con-
nected. 1t was also voted to autho-
rize the engineer to secure Il new
transit and an additional field party.
all these things being recommended
in the report OF Chairman Wroth, OF
the sewer committee. The matter OF
employing a consulting engineer was
referred to the sewer and finance
committees and the mayor with power
to act.
y Spccidi committee VIII be APP
pointed to take up the matter of the
sewer lines on land now owned by the
railroad.
The sewer committee report urged
the increase of the city engineers
salary to $50, an amount which it is
generally agreed is not a dollar too
much for the service that official Is
rendering and the service which will
be required of him in the big sewer
enterprise now under way. The coun-
I'll. however. could not see its way
clear to make the figure more than
s135.
Mr.. J.. A. Archer made W propo.
siiions to the council to act as con
sulting engineer in building the sewer
sNstem-on a three per cen basis
with entire charge of the work and
on a one and two-thirds per cen basis
N an advisory capacity. this to GOV.
or travelling and incidental expenses
Samuel NJ. Gray, the devisor of the
sewer system. has offered to act in an
advisory capacity for two per cent.
This matter will likely be decided at
the next meeting.

Chairman of Sewer Committee.
\ spirited discussion between DR..
Wroth and the mayor arose over the
recommendation hat the chairman Of
the committee be allowed to incur
emergency expenses between council

very bad precedent to establish to al
low the chairmcn of the various COM
mittees to spend money without the
authority of the council, although he
said ii was quite improbable that a
chairman would incur expense likely
to be disapproved by the council No
action was taken on this part of the
report, although no criticism was
made of any expenditure asked for or

The Responsibility.

Who is or what is responsible for
so many strikes all over the country =?
Is 1t the prevalence of the high pro-
tective tariff that give to some men
too much money and to others en-
tirely too little? There is something
wrong in the tariff laws or this
season of the year would not be
clouded by so many labor strikes.
The question in the national house
of representatives at Washington is
whether or not the tariff on the ne
cessities of life be diminished. Sen
ator Aldrich of Rhode Island and
his satellites say it is necessary to
raise the tax on things the people
eat and wear in order to raise money
to run the government. He is unal-
terably opposed to raise one cent
from the incomes of the rich
The democrats and the progress
i've republicans favor a tax of three
per cent on the incomes of individ.
uals and corporations in excess OF
$4,000 year. Senator Aldrich is
determined to prevent a vote on such
a measure because that would be in.
imical to Wall street.

labor rstrictions, and another for
across the sea has been formulating
and has now passed drastic act,
revolutionary in it's provisions which
must bring joy and heartfelt relief TO
all those who have long since realized
the import of proper legislation in
regard to the child. To quote the
newspaper reports of this great for
ward step:
at provides for the stricter pre-
vention of cruelty to children and
the better safeguarding of infant
life, institutes children's courts, ar
ranges for the segregation of juv-
emile offenders and undertakes a
wider parental control of the morals
of children"
Pawnbrokers may not accept ar
ticles in pawn from children under
IA years of age. Inn keepers may
not allow them in their barrooms.
Tobacconists may not sell cigarets
to boys apparently under 1 6 and con-
stables must confiscate cigarets or
tobacco in their possession.
Much along this line has already
been done in the United States, adds
the Delineator, but surely here for
the first time is the children's char
ter, and this is truly the day of the
child. While we in this country
have been fighting to arouse the
American sense to the fact that there
is problem which concerns the
child, England has solved it, 1t has
blazed the way. We will come along
some day with ''children's secre-
tary," there will be bureau" to
gather data concerning the child
We will have uniform state child
labor laws and child hygiene laws
and child rescue laws and when we
do we will have great cause for re-
joicing.
But meanwhile England has pre-
ceded us, and in the matter of sound
forward legislation on this all-im-
portant topic we are only beginning
England has given us the Magma
Charta of the child.

HurnOr and
Philosophy
THE COMING cHARMER.
~ DUNCAN n. SMITH

We wait for June impatiently,
The month of sun and roses,
For simple man then takes a brace
And to his love proposes.
It's Cupid's own ard special month.
And in the line of wooing
When men and maidens take a stroll
There's always something doing.
The robins in the apple tree
Sing to the swain, Get busy"
When sweet sixteen comes walking by
His youthful head grows dizzy,
And both of them have heard about
The season of romances,
sAnd neither wants to overlook
Or pass up any chances.
1t is a very charming sight
To see youthful lover
Shine up his shoes and slick his hair
And round a maiden hover.
1t doesn't seem to worry her.
She welcomes his advances,
AS any ore in sight may know
By noticing her glances.
That's what we may expect in June,
The stored month for mating.
The month for which we sit around
And waste the moments waiting.
And any one who's seen II work
Is fortified with lunches
That there will be romance to burn.
Engagements done in punches.

The Sheriff's Move for Clean Town

What is worth doing, is worth doing
well, and it often happens that the
nobler duties of life are those that are
self imposed. So with Sheriff Kittil-
sens move for a clean town in Rock Is
land. When the sheriff some few
weeks ago announced his mission TO
purge Rock Island of evil resorts of
every description and to set stand
ard that would be maintained during
his tenure of office he was given the
moral support of the people generally.
If there was any who questioned the
sincerity of the sheriff's declarations
all doubts might have been dis
sipated by the positive manner in
which the sheriff declared himself.
1t is for the sheriff to prove that ne
meant what he said when he assumed
the task, and above all, that he meant
business.

Mrs Lewis Adclbert Simms paused
a momcht as the automobile deposited

Dear mew she said family. Then
she turned sharply on the imperturb-

AS Mrs. Simms opened the elaborate
gold mesh purse she carried she was
conscious of bewildered surprise. OF
course she had known Carrie had not

How any woman could be cheerful liv-

to climb. and to the fourth floor too.
