VETS AND DRYS ON THE
ROCK ISLAND RESULTS

Since the AUTHORIZATION league
has known that the prohibition ques-
ton was to be TesuDmitted at the
election of this spring it felt that there
was no probability of the success OF
The prohibition element. The Anti
Prohibition league conducted its cam
paign with the one aim of securing
safe majority, but exerted no partic-
ular effort to equal the majority of
two years ago, feeling that it was
much better for the business interests
of the city that the question be not
Rgitated in such a way as would stir
up the strife and bitterness that char
acterfzed the previous election. The
result is as the AUTHORIZATION league
expected

Warrants Are Out for Three Lads
Who Stole Shoes in Front of

The police have warrants in their
hands for the arrest of three Rock
Island youths ranging in ages from 10
to IA years. They are charged with
larceny. Several nights ago, probably
Saturday, two of them stole several
pairs of shoes from the display in
front of the Boston shoe store and
they turned them over to the third
member of the party. He took them
home and yesterday his mother found
them in his possession. She notified
the police.

CITY IS ASSURED
OF A SANITARIUM
Rock Island First Outside of
Chicago to Take Advantage
of Glackin Law.
TO LEVY TAX NEXT YEAR
$4,000 VIII Be Raised, Sufficient for
an Excellent eginning-Board

TO LEVY TAX NEXT YEAF

The municipal tuberculosis sanitar
ium tax levy was carried by fine ma
jority," Health Commissioner A. n
Mueller said today. THE votes for ii
were practically uniform throughout
the city, no precincts being lost. The
victory is a decisive one, and Rock
Island deserves great credit for ap
proving of such an altruistic project
The Glackin tuberculosis sanitarium
law has been in force only little over
year. This city is the only one out
side of Chicago to take advantage of
it to date. The power to establish and
maintain a public consumptive sanitar-
ium is now given to Rock Island. A
tax of 1 mill will be levied next year
and thereafter for this purpose. This
fund. which will net over $4,000, will
make an excellent beginning.
Board to Manage.
THE management of the new sani-
tarium will be vested in board of
the mayor with the consent of the city
council. The terms begin next July
and are for three years. One of the
directors must be from the board of
health, the other two to be citizens
chosen at large There is no compen-
sation. The sanitarium will probably
be of the tent or cottage variety such
as is used so successfully in the west
and also in other Illinois cities. Nurs-
ing, board and treatment is to be free
to local people.
VIII Prove Great Benefit
"Non-residents can be admitted on
certain charges to be determined by
the board of directors. All reputable
physicians are allowed to send their
patients for treatment There is no
doubt that this new hospital will prove
a great benefit to all. Consumptives
will not only receive modern treat
ment. but will be taught how to pro-
tect the public against innocent infec-
ton. 1t is gratifying to know that this
city has taken a practical stand for
the eradication of the white plague"

rhe oIa Va Of PASSING eilIs.

A document found among the Dukr
of Rutland's papers at Kelvoir castle
throws curious light upon the mod"
of getting private nils through the
English house of commons in the days
OF King Charles IL. The case in hand
was the divorce bill OF John Lord de
ROos. an affair that caused a great
deal of gossip in its day. one of his
IordShip's agents wrote in January
1857: "On Wednesday last / got six
and forty of the house OF commons to
the Dog tavern. In the palace yard at
Westminster. when were present Mr..
Attorney General and Mr.. George
Montagu. AS soon as they had dined
we carried them all to the house of

Opposite Views on Illinois Local Option Fight
STATEMENT BY "DRYs."

Late last night when the victory Of
the "Wets" had become apparent
James X. Shields, superintendent OF
the Illinois Anti-Saloon league, said:
1.-THE results Of the election today
are in many cases keen dIsapPoint-
ments and they can be accounted for
in but two wsys-oVerconfidenc on
the part of the temperance people and
a tremendous flood Of money spent By
the liquor side, who were In despera-
ton over the splendid records that
have been made by the dry cities.
This is especially true of Decatur sno
Rockford, and the liquor element felt
that If these cities were allowed 20 go
on with the increasing denomination
of the value Of no saloons the liquor
traffic everywhere would be doomed.
1.-THE fact that the two large cities
of Decatur and Rockford were carried
by a very small margin, while the
vote was reduced in DanVille, Spring
field and several other of the Isrges.
cities over what il was two years ago,
Monmouth and Canton added to the
dry column, and half Of the contests
in the state carried by the drys, Is
considerable source Of satisfaction.
"These defeats only emphasize the
need Of the county option bill, which
will be our next great battle"
The following statement was made
in Springfield by z. A. Scroein, iegis-
Istive superintendent Of the Anti-sa-
loon league:
"Information comes to US that the
wet interests have carried Decatur and
Rockford by money and importation OF
voters. There can be no question
that this il true. We do not fight
that way.
"This contest is only an incident In
our warfare against the saloon, and Z
am confident the temperance people
Of the state, now fully aroused TO the
need Of constant action, will get busy
and elect a legislature that will give
them county option.
"candidiy, am yet confident that
we shall get a great deal Of good out
of this defeat In that II will make our
friends understand fully what they
are up against, and will prepare them
for the decisive struggle which is
bound to come in the near future"

ago the anti-prohibitionists rolled UP
a margin of 1859. Lacking SO votes,
this year the wet majority was re-
duced by one-half The total vote on
the question two years ago was 5,107.
Yesterday it was 1904.
By an analysis of the precinct vote
of 1908 in comparison with that of
1910 it is seen that there were in the
neighborhood of 500 citizens who re-
fused to record their decision on the
question yesterday.
The anti-prohibitionists in a state
ment appearing herewith say they are
satisfied with the showing recorded in
opposition to prohibition in the city !;
that they did not care much for the
size of the majority. so that it was
safe The Local Option league claims
to be content with the gain to their
cause and the loss, in votes, sustained
by the other side

failure of several hundred voters to

voted the wet ballot two years ago,
in the belief that the saloon could and
would be regulated in Rock Island, as
we'll as in other communities In fact,
they had been promised by the liquor
interests that there would be an i'm
provement in conditions. They waited
two years, but instead of change for
the better in the moral condition sur
rounding the saloon business in Rock
Island, they have grown from bad TO
worse. The liquor interests have re-
piled that they should not be held re-
sponsible for the regulation of the sa-
loon business; that that is the duty
of the city administration. In some
instances they have gone further, and
as individuals have claimed that they
have sought the correction of condi-
lions through the proper authorized
channels and have failed in satisfac-
tory results.

Nevertheless. morally Rock Island is
not improved The voters who failed
to express themselves yesterday are
not prohibitionists. If they were they
would not have hesitated to vote But
they are men who believe in the laws
and regulations. and know that they
can be enforced. Their silence indi-
Gates that they are patient, to say
the least. and are willing to give the
liquor interests abundant opportunity
to reestablish their business in the
good graces of the community as a
whole They have shown that they
would rather have the saloon, since
it has been legitimatized by law. recog-

Other Cities No Criterion.
The liquor interests of Rock Island
should not make the mistake of judg-
ing their city by other cities There
is no denying that the prohibitionist
is not satisfied with anything except
prohibition, but it should not be over
looked that q continuance of present
conditions in this city might force
men of broader views, and enough of
them to carry the next election against
the vets. to resort to temporary pro-
hibition as a means of teaching the
low saloons a lesson.
