The Value of Water Fronts.

Some railroad men have assumed
broad and public spirited attitude
toward inland waterway develop
ment, but more of them have tried
to belittle and discredit it. But it
will be observed that the railroads in
general are sufficiently impressed
with the prospects of river naviga-
ton TO become active in picking up
water front sites here and there for
the purpose of hampering the pro-
motors Of river transportation when
the latter need dockage facilities,
says the Kansas City Times.
1t is of the utmost Importance
that every river town and city with
prospects Of becoming a shipping
point for river transportation should
protect its dock sites. If the river
front is valuable to the railroads it
is even more valuable to the cities
and towns for water shipping.

avenue to the business section. If the
Southern desires to take its cars to
its terminal at Twentieth and First, II
is believed the council would grant the
right for the additional spur down
either Nineteenth or Twentieth TO
First If, on the other hand. the South.
ern desires a separate right OF way
from the west end, a route may be
found. 1t can have an exclusive track
or tracks any way other than by First
avenue, which must be held for the
use of all roads. When the Belt line,
is built it can come that way. But in
the meantime why not arrange for
temporary use of the Tri-City railway
tracks? President Porter has said re-
peatedly that his company stands
ready to grant the use of its tracks on
terms identical with those under which
the I. e l. operates in Davenport.
Let's have those interurban cars
brought into the business district of
Rock Island on the basis of some plan
agreeable to all interests.

A kindergarten for Spies?

In only one country in the world
! is there no law against the publica-
ton and sale of all information re-
lating to military and naval matters.
That one country is the United
States, according to Gardiner Mack
in an article in Popular Mechanics,
in which America is referred to as
"a kindergarten for spies of other
nations"
Mr.. Mack's statements are at least
disturbing. especially as they are
buttressed by illustrations showing
Photographic details of coast defense
guns and other artillery machinery,
as we'll as views of the great Sandy
Hook proving grounds and batter
les. These illustrations are merely
reproductions of picture post cards
that are for sale on thousands of
news stands throughout the country
These cards indicate the laxity of
laws and officials in safeguarding
what should be our military and
naval secrets if our army, navy and
coast defenses are really intended
for the protection of this country in
time of war.
Other countries take great pains to
prevent spies from gaining informa-
tion regarding preparations for Of
Tense and defense. Photographs of
guns, Notifications and arsenals are
not permitted to be taken. Travellers
visiting points where such views are
obtainable in Europe and in some
countries in Asia, notably in Japan,
are relieved of thier cameras by Of
ficials and warning signs are numer-
ously in evidence against the taking
of pictures.
The lack of such precaution in this
country is due in a large degree to
our pride in our e'hospitableness.
Our officers do not care to be dis
agreeable to visitors. The only spies
we have seemed to be afraid of here
have been those from Japan. Yet
military expert has said that for one
Japanese spy found gathering infor-
nation in the United States there
are ten that manage to avoid dis
covery. and that for every Japanese
who remains undiscovered there are
two German, French. Russian, Ital-
ian, Mexican or Austrian secret
agents at work in this country.
These spies, according to the same
authority, have little difficulty in Sc
curing the information they desire
in the United States. They are sent
here by their governments to- secure
primary training in the art of es-
pionage That is why America is
called the kindergarten for spies,
who. when they have some training
in their business, are sent to other
countries where the work for them
to do is of a more difficult and
dangerous character.

Bring Those Interurbans Right Into
Town.

Now that the Rock Island Southern
is getting it's electric car traffic estab-
lished between Rock Island and Mon
mouth and Aledo, it is time to think
seriously of getting those big interur-
ban cars into Rock Island. For years
the subject of communication with the
territory through which this line pass
es has been one of more or less dis
cussion in Rock Island. The commun-
ication is established. The cars are
running, or soon will be running, regu-
larly to the gates of the city They
should not stop there. They should
come on up into town. The talk Of
makeshifts and dinkeys will not serve
TO benefit Rock Island materially. The
interurban cars should come into Rock
Island, right through the streets of
Rock Island into the business center.
There is no plausible reason why they
should not.
Cars of the same type, equally as
heavy, equally as long, and with as
heavy f1anges enter other cities all
over the state. They run over the
tram rails of urban lines, and around
just as short curves as there are in
Rock Island. They run into the city
of Davenport over the rails of the Tri-
City Railway company. and they run
into Clinton, Iowa, over the tracks of
the local company there. They run
into Peoria; they run into Springfield,
into Bloomington. Decatur, Danville,
joliet, Elgin, Aurora, Galesburg,
Monmouth and score or SO
OF other Illinois cities of Rock Islands
class. They run right into the business
district of big cities like Indianapolis, |
Toledo, Buffalo and Des Moines. What !
is to prevent the interurban cars-that |
is. the passenger and express coaches |
of the Rock Island Southern travers- |
ing the rails of the Tri-City RAILWAY !
company through the main streets of |
the city of Rock Island-if the South I
ern is sincere about desiring to enter |
Rock Island by a convenient route?
The fairness that the Tri-City Rail |
way company has always shown war
rants the belief that there should be |
no trouble in making a traffic arrange
ment with that corporation for the use
Of the tracks up Fourth avenue and via |
Fifteenth street and Third or Second |

FAULTS.
Copyrighted. 1900

Faults corrected, need not an ex-
cuse; defense of wrong action is
greater crime than first offense
Faults in self look little, but we
easily magnify these same faults in
to big vices in Others-make them
look like mountains.
The fault-finding man does not
see the sunshine in his fellow-men;
the selfish speck in his own eye dark
ems his vision of his brothers good
ness
Excuse your faults and belittle
yourself: a great man conquers them.
Fault-finding is the greatest fault
many people have; they try to i'm
prove their neighboTs by reproving
them; hunting for other peoples
faults always ends in finding ones
own finish"
