Frequently you hear a rich man
abused because he stays on the job
that made him rich instead of spend
ing his time aadding about the earth
in search of good time. But it is
hardly fair to assume that avarice and
greed prompt such action or even that
Il is. q lack of faith in humanity. Very
likely the work done represents the
good time for the man who stays at
1T after all need of work has passed.
for it is certain that there are many
ideas Of what constitutes happiness,
and the man who selects loafing is apt
TO change his mind in time if he tries
1t. Doing nothing is harder than WORK,
and if a man has spent many years at
work. learning little of play. work
brings him more enjoyment than the
butterfly existence.--Atchison Globe.

TAKE STEPS TO
SELL BY WEIGHT.
Retail Grocers Appoint Com
nlittee to Urge Passage
of Ordinance.
UNDER NEW STATE LAW
Propose Also to Have Loaf of Bread
Weigh POund-TO Join i'm Bus
4. mess Mems Outing.

Grocers in Rock Island will sell
'.dry' goods by weight instead of by
measure, if the Retail Grocers' associa-
ton succeeds in a movement begun
last evening at the regular meeting
of that body at Turner hall. At the
last session of the legislature stat
adopt ordinances requiring such CON-
modities to be sold by weight instead
of by measure. 1t went into effect
July /. Last evening the local gro
GERS appointed committee composed
of F. J. Hodges, William Thoms and
F. r. Kuschmann to lay the matter
before the mayor. city attorney ana
council with a view of securing the
adoption of such an ordinance here.
Dry groceries include especially
fruit and vegetables not generally sold
by measure. Often the measures vary
and either the retailer or his customers
is the loser thereby. If the grocers
sell by weight exclusively of course
they will buy in the same manner ana
their business will be greatly system
affixed thereby
- state Standards Differ.
Another difficulty that local retailers
have TO contend with arises from the
difference between the standards in
Illinois and Iowa. Many dry groceries
are purchased in Davenport and the
Iowa law in several instances pre-
scriges different number of pounds
in a bushel from that fixed by the lii
nois law, the loss falling generally up
on the retailer.
Another matter taken up last even
ing was the weight of bread. 1t was
stated that the ordinary loaves now re-
tailed in this city weigh from 1919 to
IA ounces. A committee was named
composed of c. F. Bladel, C. w Hor
ton and Charles Goff TO investigate the
feasibility of securing the passage Of
an ordinance fixing the minimum
weight of loaf at fG ounces. the cost
to be fixed accordingly. Bread is no.

groceries

MULAI HAFTD, SULTAN OF MOROCCO.
Four of the miners were killed There
upon detachment of the Melilla gar
riSon went out under General Marina
and routed the Moors, though not
without difficulty, as the bayonet had
to be used. and the Spaniards lost
twenty-nine killed aud wounded.
Spanish Mines Raded
The remote cause of the Melilla trou-
BILE dates back about year and Il half.
when two Spanish mining companies.
one of them operated with French cap
ital. began work ut Il point about fif-
teen miles from Alelilla under the pro-
lection of I,oghi Kaid. who then was
supreme In that region. In October of
last year the tribes revolted, defeated
then ceased work. The Spanish gov
ernment proceeded TO protect them;
but. although some of the tribes did
not object. others were hostile and the
whole district became much disturbed.
so that it was not till last June that
the miners were able 70 resume work.
Under the treaty of 1860 between
Morocco aud Spain the sultan is under
obligation to furnish regular troops for
the protection of the Spanish posses
sions of Ccuta ard Melilla against the
always more or less unruIy Riff tribes.

CAIRo's POLICE DEPARTMENT

Any suggestion thar there is any
personal or political motive in The
Bulletins criticism OF Mayor Par
sons police department as some one
has suggested is very much in error.
Tho Bulletin has very high regard
for all concerned, personally, as men
and as citizens; and so rar as having
any political motive is concerned.
that must seem preposterous In view
of the fact that The Bulletin sup
ported Mayor Parsons, and that
there Is not now any political con
test in prospect in which the mayor
or any OF his friends Is interested.
Just the reverse is true. The Bull
letin's protest is more especially
against politics In the police depart
msnt. There has long been reason
40 believe that the mayors police
department is corrupt to the core
with political graft" There has
been strong feeling that some of
the other kind existed also to an
alarming extent; but it is the politi-
cal graft against which The Bulletin
now makes protest The mayor has
been led to believe that his police
department had made him strong
politically. when, as a matter OF fact
practically the only criticisms that
have been raised against him during
the last two campaigns have been
based upon the evil work or want of
work of his police department, as he
must know. That he has felt this to be
true has been demonstrated by the
fact that he has not dared to come
before the people upon the record
made by his police department. Had
he done so he PROBABLY would not
have been mayor of Cairo more than
once. Mayor Parsons can not be
ignorant of the fact that the work OF
his police department has been. In
the opinions of large majority of
the people of Cairo. demoralizing TO
the last degree-weak at times, TO
the verge of pusillanimity, recklessly |
