GLIDDEN TOUR TO
START In A WEEK
Cars Which Will Pass Through
Rock Island Leave Cincinnati
June Id.

The seventh national tour OF the
the Glidden and Chicago trophies
which will pass through Rock Is
land, starts from Cincinntai June IA,
which is just a little more than a
week away. All of the manufactur-
ers who have entered the competi-
ton have completed the fitting of
their cars for the long trip. Their
drivers and managers will report to
Chairman Butler of the American
Automobile association contest board
at the Gibson house, Cincinnati,
Ohio. not later than Sunday the 18th
instant, for final instructions.
Special rules have been issued by
the board for the 1910 reliability
test. The are based on a fixed pen
atty schedule and in many ways are
different from the rules governing
former national tours.
Cars competing for the historic
Glidden trophy must be fully equip
ped touring cars; those competing
for the trophy offered by the Chicago
Motor club must be either miniature
tonneaus or Of the runabout type.
Both trophies will be awarded on the
same merit determining system, and
If there are two or more cars tied,
OF with perfect scores, in either divi-
sion of the competitors neither of the
trophies will be awarded. The per-
feet score cars, will, in this event,
be presented with suitable medals,
certifying that they have qualified

OOO, 900, or Sc for every man, woman
and child. In 1900 our expenses had
increased to $500, 100000, or So for ev-
cry man, woman and child. The last
congress appropriated the colossal
sum Of 1,044, 401,S 57, or nearly $12 for
every man, woman and child. This
congress threatens to spend S17,0OO,-
600 in excess of last years appropria-
ton.
Republicans are reluctant to con-
Germ themselves much about govern
ment expenditures in relation to the
cost of living. But one thing is GER
tain: Government does not pick up
these hundreds of millions of dollars
in the street. This money comes out
of somebody's pocket. Unlike city and
state governments, the national gov
eminent has but one way of raising
revenue to meet expenses, and that is
by taxing things eaten, worn or used
by the people. Hence it is that in
creased cost of living marches hand
in hand with increased government
extravaganza.
81 am sorry" said Senator Bristow
of Kansas, while discussing the rail-
road bill, that the senator from West
Virginia (Elkins) has deserted the
chamber, and l am sorry the senator
from Rhode Island (Aldrich) is not
here, and that the senator from Massa-
chusetts (Lodge) has also disappear
ed"
A survey of the senate showed that
the railroad senators, after having out
lined the kind of legislation they had
decided should be enacted, had fed
from the chamber without waiting to

MOLINE

Son, Not Father, Dead. -. Chris
Mason, Rock river bottoms farmer
and road commissioner for South
Moline township. arrived in Upland,
Neb., in response to the telegram
which he received here Thursday
telling him that his brother, r. G.
Mason, had been found dead. He
learned on arrival that is was son
of F. G. Mason who had died. A
telegram to this effect was received
here by relatives. Details are not
given, but it is presumed from the
wording of the first message that
death was a violent one. The or
iginal message was sent by Fred
Works, brother-in-law of the bereav-
ed father, and it is presumed that
in transmission the word ''son" was
dropped.
Preacher Sleeps in Street Carlo
Rev. r. s. Haney, pastor of the Sec
ond Congregational church of this
city. belongs the credit of having
enjoyed the first sleeping car ac-
commodations ever provided on the
1. e ]. interurban. Mr.. Haney's pat
ronage of an l. & I. improvised quill
man" became necessary late Friday
night when he crossed the Mississ-
ippt river from Port Byron to lie
Claire. with the intention of travel
ing t. Davenror on the int arurban
LIKE, only t. fnd that the last car
siding for the night and was not go
until Saturday morning. A whole
chapter could be written about what
happened when Pastor Haney made
this discovery. There was a search
through the cold. cold night air for
a hotel, but it did not take long for
the stranger to ascertain that lie
Claire does not possess such luxur-
les as hostelries. In the meantime
the crew of the interurban prepared
to retire in the only two beds that
appeared to be available. It was
after Mr.. Haney\ had pictured himself
footing 1t Weary Willie style over
the ties toward Davenport during
the chilly hours of early morning and
failed to find the picture alluring,
that he induced those in charge of
the car to allow him to form a cot
out of some of the cushions in the
day coach and retire on this impro-
vised Pullman berth. This is the
reason that the first l. & l. car to
arrive in Davenport this morning so
closely resembled a railway sleeper

hear those who disagreed from the
railroad viewpoint
Those of us who are here might
possibly be instructed" suggested
democratic senator, upon noting Bris-
lows chegrin, ''but if the senator from
Kansas imagines that anything he can
say will influence those senators he
is wasting his time and breath"

answered Bristow. Then he went on
addressing the democrats and the
empty seats of the standpatters.
Lest we forget, only nine of the 21S
republicans of the national house of
representatives are in a position to
stand before their constituents and
report that they voted to unseat Can
non as speaker. Page 3.490 of the Con-
gressional Record shows that on March
10 all but nine republicans voted
against the Burleson resolution which
would have unseated Speaker Cannon
and made it possible to elect ANEW
speaker. Every democrat voted to I'M
seat Uncle joe"
A brief definition of "Cannonism"
has been asked for. Cannonism means
that when the interests of the common
people and the interests of the steel
trust. the sugar trust, the lumber
trust, the harvester trust and the COM
bination of New England cotton manu-
facturers come into conflict, the latter
get the legislation they want and the
people are forced to take that which
they do not want. The Payne-Aldrich
law is a good illustration. The people
said: I'VE want downward revision
of the tariff in order that the cost of
living may be lessened." The corpor-
ate interests said: 1--WE want upward
revision in order that our profits may
be increased" The people were dis
appointed. and the ampaign-contrib-
uting tariff trusts were obeyed. That
is Cannonism.
Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette of
Wisconsin sometimes thinks of the
most unheard of things For instance,
in the senate the other day, in discuss
ing President Taft's railroad bill, he
said: There is not one line in the
statute to give to the people reason
able railroad rates. All that has been
accomplished is to afford a means of
giving equal rates to the shippers"
Now who except La Toilette or some
other democrat would think of that?
Direct charges that the Morgan
Guggenheim syndicate caused the ap-
pOintment of the federal judge, the
prosecuting attorney and the United
States marshal who will represent the
government in suits over the Cunning
ham coal land claims (Which Ballinger
was so friendly to) have been made be-
fore the senate committee on judiciary.
A responsible party, Judge James
Wickersham, delegate to congress
from Alaska, made the charge.
