1t was decided that an intermediate
society of Christian Endeavor would
be started with the new year, as
there have been so many OF the
younger folks who have tried to gain
admittanvce to the senior society in
the past few months that the pros
poets for a successful society for
them are fine. The social commit
tee reported it had made arrange
ments for a sociable for all young
folks to be held Tuesday. Nov. s.
The reports OF the captains of the
sides of the membership contest
were given. The Reds" have had
10 people ask for membership in the
society and the whites" have had
seven. making a total of &c in all.
The attendance at the meetings has
been large. averaging 70, the
Whites" having slightly the larger
average. At the close of the bust
ness session the president, in behalf
of the society presented a rocking
chair to Mr.. and Mrs. John Reese,
who will soon start keeping house.
1t was announced that the county
convention of Christian EndeavoT So
cieties would be held in Silvis, Fri
day, Nov. IL. After the business

passed a law which was in force June
8, 1909, authorizing cities to donate
toll bridges to the county. This was
an enabling act to permit the city Of
Rock Island to give over the bridges
at Milan TO the county. Under the gen.
eral laws of the state no city is per-
mitted to charge tolls, except that 1t
owned and controlled franchise rights
prior to the adoption of the constitu-
ton of 1870, and this only by reason
of an amendment to the act of 1879,
which was evidently passed for the
benefit Of the city of Rock Island. AS
the city of Rock Island secured the
rights in the first place through "pri-
vate grant" to the Rock Island & Cam
den Plank Road company, this amend
ment, approved in 1881, seeks to per-
petuate that which the constitution of
1870 seeks to expressly prohibit, to-
wit: Rights secured through private
Legislation.

sh1rks MS duty.
Morality Above Politics.
On the general principle that poll
official neglects his duty, what the Dis
patch said but a few weeks ago is
equally true today, and while the Dis
patch at that time misconstrued The
Argus position, this paper has at no
time been as severe on Sheriff Kittil-
sen personally or in his Official capac-
tty as the Dispatch was in this par
ticular instance. The Argus then, as
it has at every other time, simply I'M
dertook to gain ali interview with the
sheriff on what was happening, and re-
published the Dispatches reasonable de-
mand that he explain what was going
on in his Office That the sheriff de-
clined to answer the Dispatch was due,
as The Argus candidly believes, to the
fact that he was as much amazed as
anyone when the revelations came
about of the way his subordinates were
playing into the hands of the gambling
fraternity. Indeed, he frankly told an
Argus representative, as was related
in Yesterdays issue, that had he
known or realized what was going on
the gamblers outf1t-which his depu-
ties were instrumental in recovering
through the arrest by one Of them of
Constable Schmid at the demand of
the gamblers in order that time might
be allowed, to gain the ear of Justice
Nissen-would never have been spir-
tied away to Davenport. 1t would have
been destroyed before 1t was replev-
ined, declared Sheriff Kittilsen. And
that would have been the proper dis
position.
All of which bears out the repeated
contention of The Argus, that the sher
if himself is not so much TO blame for
the shameful conditions here as his
chief aids; in other words that the
sheriff is to blame more for his ap-
pointments than for anything else. Out
of his own mouth has come the infor-
nation that had he known certain
things they would not have happened.
And these certain things his deputies
were cognizant Of and were directly in
strumental in bringing about Briefly

the furniture and household goods
were piled about the premises. The
children, who were alone, lighted a
match to enable them to locate mis-

to some clothing. The blaze was ex-

IT MEANS MORE
THAN POLITICS
The Election of Sheriff of
Rock Island County at This
Particular Time.
TO STAMP OUT DECEPTION
kittiIsen Suffers from Misconduct
and Betrayal on the Part Of
Subordinates.

At the time Of the gambling raids in
Rock Island the Moline Dispatch pub.
lished the following:
IF the law and order people are de-
feated in their fight against the gam
blers in Rock Island, it will be only
temporarily. Such a defeat would so
stir the people that it would in the end
be better than a victory. Usually the
gamblers know enough to take their
medicine to begin with, and thus avoid
a larger dose and more continuous
treatment.
Sheriff Kittilsen, according to The
Argus, has decided that he will not
reply to the Dispatches reasonable de-
mand for information. But he makes
explanations at the same time that are
mere eyasions.
The law and order people come
straight out and admit the truth when
they are asked why they did not apply
to Sheriff Kittilsen or the Rock Island
police in the first instance; but the
sheriff and the police are resorting to
evasions. The reason that the law and
order people did not in the first place
go to the sheriff or the Rock Island
police was that they felt sure that
there would be no results if they did.
The gamblers, the law and order peo-
pie say, seem TO have a way Of being
prepared for any attack from those
quarters. Therefore 1t was decided, in
h. I-f
blers, to have the raids made by con-
stables. When these constables need
ed help, both the police station and
the sheriffs Office were appealed to,
but there was nothing doing. This
gave the gamblers new nerve. and they
themselves called on and got the aid
of the sheriff to get the gambling par
aphernalia away from the constables
so that they could get it out of the
Jurisdiction of court
Bluff All Around.
Now Sheriff kittilsen is quoted as
saying that he feared the law and or
der people would not help him get the
evidence if he participated in the trou-
BILE in their favor; further he declared
in effect that States Attorney Magill
is blutfing when he says he will push
the fight against the gamblers.
Now, it is sure thing that Sheriff
Kittilsen is putting up a bluff. AS to
Mr.. Magill, he can yet demonstrate
just how much he means by what he
says. The Rock Island Argus of Sat
urday quotes Sheriff kittilsen. While
1t is probably true that The Argus
would have said less If Kittilsen had
been elected on the democratic tisket.
instead Of on the republican, the Dis
patch does not see any reason for in
