Sorry to Lose Him.

Rock Island Union: The news of
the transfer of Major G. S. Richie from
Rock Island to Detroit will come as
a shock to his many friends in the
city OF Rock Island. They are delight
ed to know that his new assignment is
in the nat,ire OF marked promotion
and feel that he is certainly desery-
ing of 1t. At the same time they
greatly regret that he is to be taken
away from. the Mississippi and from
Rock Island
Major Richie has had charge OF
this work since 1905 and during that
ime he has been remarkably effec-
tive and has made many changes
which count for the rapid develop
ment of the work of the Improvement
of the Mississippi He has in the
past been connected with some OF
the most important work in the en-
cheering department of the United
States government, and this expeH
ence. as well as his keen insight and
technical ability, has been used to the
advantage of Mississippi river i'm
provement.
He has a record tksi any man
may we'll be proud o., and one which
his superiors evidently appreciate.
During his connection with this divis-
ion of the Mississippi river improve
ment he has made friends all along
the river and particularly here in
Rock Isiard, where his headquarters
have been located Since his loca-
ton here he has been one of the
busiest men in the city of Rock Is
land and has had very little time to
mingle with our people, but what they
have seen of him has left a splendid
impression, and their best wishes will
go with him wherever he may be or
whatever work he may be assigned
to.
A recounting OF the work he has
done while in charge of the upper
Mississippi Improvement would take
great deal of space and would be
only a review of what the people OF
this community already know. The
most that we of Rock Island can do
is to hope for his rapid advancement
in the service Of the United States
government. for they have reason to
pin their faith to his future.

A Thought For washinston,s Birthday.

Peoria Herald-Transcript Fellow
citizens of the United States, fellow
toilers for advancement, fellow sharers
in unexampled prosperity, fellow
grumblers over the price of this and
that, over the wrongs which Cypress
us, and over the gloom of the future.
let us look backward today to an ear
ly American scene.
1t is mid-winter in Pennsylvania in
the year of 1916. The year before a
young people without resources, with
out a navy, with almost no means OF
self protection, let alone of warfare,
had declared themselves free and in
dependent of the greatest nation in
the world The result was war, bitter
var, a war more cruel and relentless
than civilized nations were supposed
to wage even at that time. And now
at the end of years fighting the COM
mander of the American troops, the
leader of the patriots who had re
bel,ed found himself defeated, penned
in and starving at Valley Forge.
There was no food for the troops.
there was not one shoe for every three
soldiers. there was so little powder in
the camp that battle could not have
been fought. A few miles away, the
British army, well fed and magnifi-
Gently supported, waited an opportun-
itv to strike the last blow. New York
was in the hands of the British, the
South was in their hands. Across the
ocean ships of war and transports
were hurTying with fresh troops.
Driven from their seat of government.
the Continental legislators were quar-
reling among themselves No blacker
| future could be imagined. Revolution
| had failed Servitude was imminent.
No sane man could hope. But George
| washington not only hoped he fought
on until, with his ragged starvelings,
| he amazed a comfortable world by
striking the blow which revived the
spirits of his followers once more.
Turn from this picture to the pres
/ ent. We are nation of 100,000.000
people, the most prosperous nation on
! the globe. We earn more money, We
i have more comfort, we are more in
dependent. we are more progressive
than any other people. Yet the sum
of cur grumblings swells to thunder.
There is no counting our wrongs to-
day There is no liberty left in the
world, we cry. The price OF eggs has
/ made us slaves.
Let us grumble if we must, and II
! 1t will remedy conditions. We have
not attained perfection, and it is well
to strive But while grumbling, let us
remember in comfort and prosperity
the days when a loaf of bread meant
life to half a dozen patriots, and let
us retain our deepest reverence and
admiration for the men whose spirit
was undaunted in those awful times.

Confess the Facts.

Des Moines Capital: Hon. n w.
Rowell, of Union county, makes
good suggestion He says when men
desire to run for Office within the Re-
publican party they ought to simply
confess that they want the ONCE,
promising to do the best they can.
He does not think it right to put up
a talk in any other direction. Mr..
Rowell probably thinks that the can
didate has no use for the issues which
he presents except to advertise HIM
self and to try to curry favor with
the public. Mr.. Rowells position may
he somewhat old-fashioned, but II
sounds good. This ought to be an age
of candor in politics, but 1t is practl-
cally an age of bluff and pretense Here
is Brother Garrett announcing hlmself
as candidate for clerk of the SUI
,,rema court. AS an argument for his
cause he relates that he has given
eight of the best years of his life to
serving the dear people as clerk OIL
the board of pardons. why d1d ne
not saw that he had had eight years
as clerk of the board OF pardons at
a satisfactory salary and That ne
wanted to be clerk Of the supreme
court at bigger salary? Such utter
ances would have been in harmony
with the facts. There is one thing
about the Des Moines plan OF munic-
ipal government: man must an
nounce himself. 1t is true that he
begins by telling about what big
things he viii do when he gets in,
but the public finally smokes him out
and compels him to confess that ne
simply wants the job. 1t is no dis
grace to run for Office, but 1t Is not
creditable to run for office under
false pretenses. If man thinks ne
can do well in an Office and is salts
fed with the salary, let him give the
public the real reasons and start at
ter the place. Hon. n. w Roweli is
right.

VOTERS AND CIRCUMSTANCES.

A correspondent writing from Des
Moines outlines the recent important
decision of the state supreme court in
the matter of saloon remonstrar ces
in Wapello county. Briefly, the de-
cision is that in reckoning UP to
know If a remonstrance to saloon
has a sufficient number of names it
is needful only that the names Of
persons who actually voted ct the
last election be considered. The
fact that one is qualified voter, or
rather that he has had his name
placed on the voting list is not
enough. He may not be in fact a
qualified voter. He is at least not
to be considered voter unless he
votes. 1t is pointed out that this VIII
bring into the matter Of securing
saloons an element not generally con-
sidered, and 1t will in come counties,
have a tendency to encourage voting.
In fact the courts have been more and
more coming to II e view that the real
test of citizenship is actual participa-
ton in an election, and that one who
does not take sufficient interest in the
affairs of the public to vote Is not en-
titled to any say in public affairs
Judge Weaver wrote a. dissenting opin-
ion taking a view exactly the opposite.
