Col. Andrews was uncomprofnlsins IN ms

said he detested the word independent.
He insisted that without political parties
a stable government would be impossible.

Faith in His Fellowmen.
In an interview on his seventy-second
birthday he said:
After an active political experience
of tifty-three years my faith in my fell
bowman is as strong as 1t ever was. 1t
is my belief that the majority of men
want to do what is right. They endeavor
to look at public questions from a patri-
otto standpoint Much depends upon
education and environment. The. va It
ma jorty of men are honest in their opin-
ions. one party may be right and others
may be wrong, but they are all honest
in their belief. This is progressive age.
Politics has progressed. just as other in
stitutions have. In the church, in bust
ness and everywhere also we find bad
men, and we must expect to find them
in politics.
There has never been much cor
ruption in politics as the public has
been led to believe. There has been a
great improvement in political conditions
in recent years, due to education. AS
men become better informed they become
better able to judge political questions.
They nominate better candidates, they
devote more study to issues and plat
forms and criticisms of the records of
public men. Out of all this comes a bet
ter condition of public affairs. The
progressive spirit of the age has wrought
many improvements in our politics.
Never Held Public Office.
Col. Andrews had few near relatives.
Mrs. Andrews and their two daughters
died several years ago. William IL.
Andrews. for many years conspicuously
identified with the politics of Pennsyl-
vania and now the representative of New
Mexico in Congress, is a half brother.
Col. Andrews never held public office. In
1902. and again in 1906, he was urged
by his friends to become candidate for
the republican nomination for Governor
of Pennsylvania, but refused. He was
also assured of the republican nomina-
ton for Congress in the Erie-Crawford
district but declined to be a candidate.
For many years he had been clio e
personal friend of Senator fenroSe. and
when Mr.. Penrose entered the United
States Senate. in 1897, he appointed Col.
Andrews his secretary, and secretary of
the Senate committees of which he was
chairman. He also held the position of
secretary of the postal commission.
At the time of his death Col. Andrews
was secretary of the Senate committee
on post offices and post roads. He was
member of the Grand Army of the
Republic the Masonic Order. the Order
of Elks. the Junior Order of United
American Mechanics and the Union
Veteran Legion He was president of
the Pennsylvania Club in Washington.

Too Early to Talk Campaign.

What will we do with Theodore Roose-
Welt when he comes back? Perhaps you
had better ask what is Theodore Roose-
welt going to do with us" said Mr.. Bun
nell, with a smile. Undoubtedly there
will be many people in the country who
would like to see him run for President
again but its too early to talk about the
next presidential campaign"
Mr.. Bunnell said that many persons in
New York were sorry that Gov. Hughes
had announced that he would retire from
public life at the close of his term of
office. perhaps we may yet be able to
prevail upon him to take office again, -
said Mr.. Bunnell.

Mr. Bunnell said today that the repub-

than they were year ago, but this is due
rather to local conditions than dislike

Visiting Points of Interest
This Afternoon.

The republican editors from the state
of New York who are in Washington
upon the invitation of Senator Depew
like President Taft and do not take any
stock in the so-called anti-Taft movement
If there was an election for President
today, they say, they would give Mr.. TAT,
their support to succeed himself.
The editors called upon President Taft
this morning, and were made cordially
welcome by him. They were introduced
to the President by Senator Depew and
by A. O. Bunnell, editor of the Adver-
tiser Dansville. who is secretary of the
Republican Editorial Association of New
York State The President talked pleas
antly with the visitors for some time,
making no set address, but chatting with
each individually. The editors and the
ladies who have accompanied them were
shown over the White House, and were
taken in automobiles to the bureau of en-
craving and printing, to see the money
making plant in operation. This alter
noon the whole party boarded sight-see-
ing automobiles and made tour OF in

An Early Easter.

A rather interesting train of
thought suggested by the st. Paul
Dispatch is that Easter will come
early this year, March 81, which, to
the minds of some people. predicts
an early spring. The earliest date
upon which Easter may fall is March
%, but in period of over 200 years
the conditions brought it upon that
day but once, in 1918. The dates
have been calculated from 1856 to
2013, both inclusive, being 2 cycles
Of the moon. Only four times in that
extended period has Easter come as
early as March 20. 1t may come as
late as April 20, as it did in 1856, it
will not again strike that late date
until 1913. In 1891 it occurred upon
April "a, but it will be the year of
grace POLL before it is again as late.
The next early Easter will be 1913,
when it will fall upon March %.
Whether the prompt waxing of the
moon after the sun has crossed the
vernal equinox has any bearing upon
spring weather is problematical, but
there are those who believe weather
conditions are more or less depend
ent upon lunar phases, and shape
their seasons predictions accordingly.
And they may be equally reliable
with the groundhog's shadow and
the breastbone of the goose. The
day for Easter is the result of an as
Economical calculation. 1t falls upon
the first Sunday following the first
full moon after the vernal equinox
The sun crosses the spring equinoc-
tial line on March 81. If that day
should be a Saturday and the moon
reach the full that night the next
day, March %, would be Easter.
This concurrence of events. as stat
ed, has been recorded but once in a
calculated period covering beyond
200 years.

The Common Interest.

1t is gratifying to note the tendency
referred to in The Argus the past two
days looking to an adjustment of the
car routing system through the bust
ness section in a manner that will
prove mutually advantageous to all
concerned and hence in every sense
amicable. This bids fair to be accom-
plished through conferences between
committees representing property and
business interests on the two thorough
fares involved, with the cooperation of
the council.
Street rivalry is not an unbecoming
phase of progressive mercantile life IN
any city. The disposition and the de-
termination between sections to out
do is, as The Argus stated last Satur-
day. commendable. Such a tendency
means healthy growth. It's purpose Is
to build up and not to tear down. Find
the city or town where the business
men within certain districts are pull
ing together, not to harm their city as
a whole or to harm each other. but
to bring their respective parts of the
city to the front. and you will see a
city that is on the march. One need
go no further than either Davenport
or Moline to find this to be true.
Business thoroughfares in both cities
are vieing with each other not in the
sense of bitterness or i'll feeling, but
in we'll ordered rivalry.
And this is what makes cities hump
and grow and prosper the world over.
1t is what will help Rock Island in the
end. In every city there is one recog-
nized principal thoroughfare on which
business converges. Second ave
nue. enjoys that distinction in Rock
Island 1t has enjoyed that distinction
for years and it is altogether probable
that it always will. 1t need not DO so to
lt need lose none of its street car ad-
vantages in order that Third avenue
may have the incentive to progress.
For Third avenue can be given oppor-
tunity in street railway concessions
that will not harm Second. But that is
a question which will adjust itself to
the satisfaction of all, The Argus is
confident, as the result of conferences
between committees representative Of
the interests of both thoroughfares.
And when it is all over and both
streets are satisfied, such differences
as may have arisen will be wiped
away in the common thought that after
all what we are all striving for is
Rock Island--and a Greater Rock
Island
That is the common interest.

Over the Border.

Canada's foreign trade for the 10
months ended Feb. was 1864. 900. 900.
Compared with the corresponding
months Of the preceding year, this is
an increase of $95, 100000. While our
consular trade developers and protec-
ZIONIST associations of manufacture
are searching the far east and the
antipodes for markets, here is one
right at our door which they fail TO
see, though it is larger, presently or
potentially. than any to be found In
those distant lands. There are few
things the Canadians need that could
not be supplied by the industries of
some parts of the United States or
their insular possessions. On the
other hand, we have a-plenty of most
Of the things that Canada exports, and
most of its export shipments would
continue to go to Europe in any cir
cumstances. The conditions are ideal
for complete reciprocity, even from "A
protectionist point of view. We should
have a large balance of trade against
our neighbor.
Yet, chiefly in the interest of lum-
bermen and paper makers and the cod
fish trust, We have been egged on to a
state of near-hostility with "a country
which ought not to be separated from
US by any, least of all, a commercial
boundary.

Working Women.

The state of Illinois endeavored to
ameliorate the condition of working
women by limiting the day to 10 hours
Il was legislation strictly in line with
modern efforts to protect women and
children from the avarice of their en-
ployers. Judge Tuthill of Chicago de-
clared that the law was sdconstitu-
tional because it infringes on woman's
rights to contract for the hire of her
labor. This is the old idea that the
employer has a right to hammer down
wages to the lowest limit, but the en-
ploye has no rights that the employer

the supreme court of the state last
week and made an argument in which
he said: II am not a radical nor a
socialist nor an anarchist, and l do
not even belong to the so-ca1led up
lift movement, of which we have
heard so much recently, but / do take
sufficient notice of some of the IN
fortunate abuses which exist in this
highly and artifcially developed civil
ization of ours and which call aloud
for correction. In the doctrine of the
freedom of contract there is more OF
fiction than reality. When men and
women are dependent upon their daily
wages, when they are face to face
with poverty all the time, when loss
of a days work and a days wages
means not enough money to pay rent,
or not enough to buy food, it is not
any freedom to contract for the sale
of their labor
This position was well set forth by
States Attorney Wayman, who said:
The legislature, we are told, has no
right to protect women from the ne
cessity of being forced to work "a
hours day, yet 1T can protect quail
and grouse and prairie chicken-a
most absurd legal proposition"
This is good sense The law is for
tho protection of the individual but
evidently Judge Tuthill holds to the
old idea that the law is for the protec-
ton of property, and the individual
must remain uncared for, while the
dollar is surrounded by all the legal
devices possible.
