The Higher Saloon License PROPOSE
ton.

The Higher Saloon License PROPOSE
Why the Rock Island council should
handle as if dealing with a delicate or
extremely sensitive subject the propo-
sition to raise the saloon license. is
beyond ordinary human conception,
especially when the contemplated ad-
vance does not exceed at the most
$3.50 per annum. There are aldermen
in the council. however. who appear
to hesitate at the suggestion of even
500 increase.
The Argus for its own part stands
where it has on every occasion where
there has been agitation of the liquor
question-for an out and out $1,000
license. as the best for the city and
the best for the saloons themselves for
that matter. That was The Argus
position when the subject was before
the council and before the people. and
Notwithstanding that the proposition
has been repeatedly beaten by the
council and once by the people. the
time will come it is verify believed
when it will be demonstrated that this
would have been the wisest and most
effective means OF dealing with the
saloon traffic.
Il is not necessary to go further
away than Moline to witness the sue
cessful operation of the system IF
regulation and restriction in municipal
control Of the saloon. Moline has both
a 81 900 license and a restricting Ordi-
nance. both of which measures The
Argus has all along contended for in
Rock Island. and Moline experiences
little or no difficulty in the absolute
control of the saloons. They behave
because they have to and there is too
much Al stake to risk any other course.
Yet the Rock Island council hesitates
to impose n license of $3.50. standing
apparently in the same fear of the per
sonal and political consequences that
it did when the redistricting ordinances
were under consideration.

FIELD OF LITERATURE

Sir Wilfred Laurier.-In the remark
able development and growth of west
ern Canada one finds it difficult 10
overlook two important personages
who saw the possibilities of the west
years ago and to whom the Dominion
of Canada owes much for the splendid
foundations they prepared to make
western Canada a populous and pros
porous portion of the Dominion. Hold
ing diverse political views, yet. the
policies advocated by these two men,
the late Right Hon. Sir John A Mac
Donald and the present prime minis
ter, the Right Hon. Sir Wilfred Laur-
Ter have so dovetailed into each other
as to create an impression in ones
mind that these two great master
minds had anticipated each others
achievements with a clear vision cf
the goal towards which each aspired.
The late Sir John Macdonald lived TO
see the completion Of the confedera-
ton of all the provinces, the finishing
touches to that national highway, the
Canadian Pacific railway and the ma
tional policy Of protection. He real
lied as no other man did, that the
unification OF Canada, the strengthen
ing of the commerce of the country
and direct communication between tho
extreme east and west of the Domin-
ion was absolutely necessary before
Canada could utilize the unlimited re-
sources lying dormant in the western
provinces of the Dominion. With the
successful carrying out Of these pro-
Jects, however, he had merely touched
the fringe. as 1t were, of those bound
less prairies of the west. They say
when great men arise they have a
mission to perform and do not disap-
pear until 1t is fulfilled. If health and
strength permits, Sir Wilfred Laurier
will, in all probability. live to see the
elimination of those policies he has
so ably advocated On his advent TO
power he found Canada crown col

Count AndreaS Aiennerzek. Hunga-
rian who had fought many duels, aft
er having safely come out of his fif-
teenth encounter determined to retire
from the field. On doing this he re-
solved to give banquet to those only
who could prove that they had partici-
pated in at least five duelS. Selecting
three of his friends, all of whom were
entitled under the condition to an in
vitation, he asked them to examine
the credentials of those who claimed
the right to be present.
AS have said. the count proposed to
retire after his fifteenth encounter.
Some said that at his twelfth he had
shown n lack of nerve. which was re-
peater and grew upon him in his sub

son why he intended to retire was that
he dare not continue in the field. His
twelfth meeting was with a mere boy
barely eighteen years old. The chal-
lenge was sent with a statement that
the count had killed the challenger's

their records. One seat was not oc-

For three hours there was the hum
Of conversation. naturally about the
encounters of the conversers, while
the popping of corks represented those
contests wherein pistols or rifles had
been used. In several cases men met
men who had been adversaries. 1t
was singular to hear them discuss in
a friendly way combats in which they
had tried to kill each other. Then
there were those who had fought and
had never been reconciled. Despite

man should be every other mans
friend some Of these glared at one an
other as though they would like to go
out again ard settle their quarrel. One
couple attempted to leave the room
for such purpose. but found them
selves locked in. The count had fore
seen that the meeting of so many men
who had so often fought might kindle
anew some smoldering flame and had
taken the necessary precautions.

AS to Good Roads.

It Is authoritatively stated that Of
all the civilized ccU~tries on earth the
United States has .oorest roads.
Some roads are in some places,
but they are exceptions Some states
have made progress The federal gov
eminent has done some little good
along this line. but it is appalling how
this subject of such vital Importance
to every man, woman and child has
been neglected. while colossal sums of
money and unlimited time and official
attention have been given to the up
building of private fortunes and pro-
motion of corporate movements which
bring great public benefits in some
ways of course, but which are not so
nearly related to the general interests
tof all the-people as are good roads.
A republican congress is contem-
plating passage of legislation to give
sprivate interests vast ship subsidies!
IF congress should vote such grating
Subsidies and appropriate money for
the benefit of private ship building
Interests while neglecting the roads of
the country, the people would be al
most justified in mobbing the capitol
Senator Bankhead Of Alabama told the
Omitted States senate recently that:
9Good roads are avenues of progress,
the best proof of intelligence; they
aid the social and religious advance
sment of the people; they increase the
value OF products; they save time.
Tabor and money; they are the initial
sources of commerce, which swell in
great streams and flow everywhere,
distributing the products OF our fields,

Mining Laws.

Nor only should there be more rigid
laws thrown about the 10000 coal
miners of Illinois TO render safer the
conditions under which they work, but
the present laws should be enforced
New laws and old laws are no good
unless enforced. It ought not 70 &c
quire a Cherry mine disaster every
once in g while to remind those IN
authority of the necessity OF enforcing
the laws for the protection of miners
Among the many bills which now
slumber in the Legislature are those
the purpose of which is the enactment
of laws remedying those conditions in
Illinois coal mines which make posi-
bic p repetition Of the Cherry horror
These bills provide for such simple
but important changes as fire Droofing
the shafts and mule stables and other
wise minimizing the dangers of fire
and explosion.
With the Cherry disaster in mind it
is strange the members of the legis-
lature do not aggressiveIy urge pas
sage of this needed legislation.
Should another such disaster occur
now because of neglect OF passage and
enforcement of such laws as these
demanded and needed, a dilatory legis.
lature would have to share response
