Common Citizenship VS.. the Com
mon Enemy.

InOn
Common citizenship in Rock Island
is arrayed against the common enemy.
Where such a condition arises there
is but one course possible, a united
purpose with firmness in the right. The
common citizenship stands for one
principle, and that is what is best for
all. The common enemy has but one
aim and purpose and that is self inter
est, regardless of who pays the price.
The common citizenship is that for
which laws were created and whose
happiness, whose peace, whose dignity
are represented by the laws. The
common enemy represents all that is
contrary to law, all that oppose order
all that disturbs peace, all that offends
dignity. The common citizenship rep
resents the best that is in life in the
relations Of man and man. The COM
mon enemy represents every form OF
Iawlessness that throws life into a con
tinued turmoil, breaks the peace and
arouses distrust where there should
! be confidence one in another.
| At such a time where the lines are
| so clearly drawn between right and
wrong, where the instruments of law
and order are drawn in battle with
the elements of lawlessness and confu-
sion, every man, however liberal his
ideas in dealing with the minor evils
that creep into the average city,
must take his place with those, even
who at ordinary times, may be moro
positive in their notions.
| The Argus a few days ago printed
an interview with a citizen, who, adj
"been against" the brace games
in notorious gambling institutions in
Rock Island, and is not one of those who
usually make complaints, nevertheless
shuddered when he saw gamblers and
their representatives out on the
streets of Rock Island, openly defying
the law and insisting upon their
rights under the law. "When ii
comes to "a case of the gamblers run
ming the town. said this citizen, 81
am for the Law and Order league.
have a little home here, and l don't
want the gambler in power, and wher
lit reaches that point where he under
takes to get in power, am for running
him out and making him stay out.
And that man voiced the sentiments
of a whole lot of others.
1t is now the scheme of the law
LESS when apprehended, to attempt tC
create dissension in the ranks of those
opposing them, to kick up a dust in
the eyes of those whose duty it is tC
enforce the law, and, as has been sale
before, to divert popular thought from
the main issue. That is what is be
ing done in Rock Island now.
The people are facing a condition
which must be put down. The ligh
has been thrown in dark places, ant
the crooks. dislodged, like corner
ed rats, are fighting. Thus the plair
duty presents itself. 1t is to follow
where the light penetrates. The Gun
ming which seeks to attract the atten
ton from evil on which it is riveted
by shrieking, "Oh, look at that othe
fellow over there" will not work
Men have lost their pocketbooks in
crowd by having their attention di
rected for the instant to some mag
mary object on tall building.
The duty of common citizenship il
to keep the eye focused on the com
mon enemy.

tie, has produced an alloy of iron and
thorium which possesses remarkable
properties. When struck against a
piece OF iron this alloy emits exceed
ingly bright sparks, produced by the
almost instantaneous oxidation of par
ticles detached by the blow. Sufficient
heat is developed to ignite tinder in
stantly. without the repeated efforts
required by the old-fashioned flint and
steel. The new thorium flint" in

match. 1t will be very useful to ex-

Robert Jolly OF Orcas, Wash. tor
years has made his annual expenses
picking strawberries and other fruit
nfor his neighbors. ard SO skilled is
he, and SO rapid, that he earns as
much on the commission plan as 2
man with good eyes. Jolly finds his
way along the rows OF vines with his
stick. and carries a dozen crates with
him His nimble fingers find the
fruit, and while one hand is plucking
the berry the other is searching for
more. Picking cherries or apples and
climbing around on a ladder is as
easy for him as for schoolboy.

Clocks and Watches.

There is no record showing who
was the inventor of the present form
of clock, which was the successor OF
the water clock, which was in doInes-
tic use in the east for 1000 years
and which was improved by the
Greeks and Romans. The Saracens
are credited with substituting a weight
for water to turn the toothed wheel
that recorded the time. The inven-
ton of an escapement is attributed to
Gerbert about A. D. 1000. Continual
Improvements have been made since
then. The first watches were made
early in the sixteenth century by Peter
Hele, a clock maker of Nuremberg
