A BLOT ON CITY
Rock Island Dishonored by Mis-
rule, Declares DR.. w. S.
Marquis in Sermon.
WORK FOR CHRISTIAN FORCE
f"The Problem of Saving the Cities"
Subject of Forceful Address
at Broadway Church.

DR.. w. S. Marquis, pastor of Broad
way Presbyterian church. addressed
his congregation last evening on THE
Problem of Saving the Cities" He
chose for his text Psalms 1901: ''EN-
lcept Jehova keep the city, the watch
man waketh but in vain" In part, DR..
Marquis said:
Zone of the most important and diff
lficult problems before the church to
DAY is the problem of saving our
cities. The city has experienced re-
markable growth in the last 100 years.
In 1900 but per cent OF our popula-
I ton dwelt in cities. Today more than
! SO per cent. Three causes are assigned
! for this growth of the city. The first,
ttne social instinct whiCA brings men
Together for defense, barter and fell
| lowship. Second, the railway which
makes it possible to transport popula-
lions and all they need for their sup
lport. Third, the use of machinery ON
THE farm which has greatly reduced
1.-THE number of farm laborers. Four
men can now do the work which al
lonce required IA men to perform.
Great Dangers Surround.
THE city offers us not only great
advantages, but surrounds US with
great dangers. The vices that menace
virtue hasten to the city Intemper-
lance, immortality, impurity, gambling,
political corruption, Sabbath breaking
and unwholesome amusements all find
their home in the city. There is also a
dangerous concentration Of the money
power in our cities. Here it is that
there is opportunity for bribery, lux
ury. Sef-indulgence and all the evils
which threatens society with money
in the hands of few. The city also
tends to destroy home life. Among
the rich, hotel and club life is being
substituted for the home. Migratory
wealth has so many houses that it has
mo home. On the other hand the poor
in the city cannot afford to own their
town homes and so are crowded into
unwholesCme tenements which de
stroy the home life.
q "The question is how long can our
Cities and nation survive these dangers
of our growing cities? Professor Hulk
ley said concerning an East End par
.ish in London: Over that parish Dan
ties Inscription leave hope behind all
ye who enter here might well be writ

the people of anything in the whole

PROTECT INJURE D
n. A. Weld Points to made
quacy of the Laws of Liza
bility in Address.
TALKS TO Y. M. C. A. MEN
Holds Employing Concerns Should
Provide for Emergencies in
Margin of Profit.

A good audience heard the address
of H. A. Weld at the meeting Of the
men held at the Y. NJ. C. A. yesterday
afternoon. The subject treated the
laws on Industrial accidents and the
discussion which followed the address
indicated that the subject was one of
great interest. Mr.. Weld spoke on the
present laws, showing their made
Quacy in dealing with modern indus
trial conditions, and especially show
ing up the fallacy of the fellow
servant doctrine of liability. His con-
tention was that inasmucA as 1t is GER
tain that a number OF men will be
killed or injured in the course of any
industry, regardless Of care that may
be taken to prevent accidents, some
provision should be made to pension,
or otherwise compensate. those who
are injxred. 1t is expected that some
machinery will wear out or be dam
aged each year and the corporation
makes provision to cover such ex-
penses as a part of the business. Mr..
Weld argued that on the same princi-
pie the corporation should figure reg
ularly on the matter OF compromising
the men who are injured in the dis
charge of their duties, and should add
to the price of their commodities 10
make this possible.
