friends will be ashamed Of me when
my term is ended"
| Thereafter. when Sheriff Kittilsep
made his first raid on gambling houses
and other evil resorts, and The Argus
commended his course, printed his
statement that there would be no more
gambling in Rock Island county while
| he was sheriff, and publicly pledged
| its support in carrying out such
praiseworthy policy, Mr.. Kittilsen
again came to The Argus Office and ex-
pressed his gratitude for the fairness
of the treatment accorded him. He fur
thermore said that any information rel
alive to the temperance of gambling
resorts in Rock Island would be thank
fully received by him, and that if any
developed, his attention had but to De
called to the fact and he would prompt

| Of the repeated references made by
| The Argus of the return of the evil; OF
the calling of the sheriff's attention TO
the fact; of the circumstance wherein
a man had been f1eeced in the Billburg
place on Twentieth street, going to the
sheriff and complaining and being ar
rested by the sheriff for his pains on
the ground that the complainant was
gambler; of the sheriff filing informa-
| ton against the informant in the coun-
ty court and then attempting to have
the information withdrawn; of the in
formant insisting upon his rights and
compelling the sheriff to raid the Bill
burg place and some others into the
| bargain; all these circumstances are
matters of fact with which the public
ought to be familiar. Again, at that
| time Mr.. Kittilsen informed The Argus
| that he was through with tempor1zlng
with gambling in Rock Island, that it
was ended then and there, and that he
would be thankful for any evidence of
its resumption. Again. a short time
after, The Argus called his attention to
the reopening of the dens.
But he was inactive. 1t was this in
activity in the face of known condi-
lions that gave rise TO the Law and
Order league which has brought about
the revelations of the past six days.
with the gamblers defying the officers
who raided their joints and resisting
| the seizure of their paraphernalia on
the ground that they were licensed"
to continue unmolested. How the sher-
| if, or at least the deputies in his office,
at this juncture went to the rescue of
the gamblers on the strength of writs
of replevin issued from justice shop,
is of too recent date to require re-
hearsal here Thus has come about the
eliminating chapter in the methods of
the present sheriff in dealing with
gamblers.
Hence, under the outrageous condi-
lions at present existing in Rock Is
land, the Dispatch is quite right in de-
claring that it goes beyond every po-
litical phase. The Dispatch is taking
high moral ground, and The Argus
would be in the same position under
circumstances involving the Dispatch.

BeIated Prosecution of Bad Trust.
| The administration has suddenly
discovered that the sugar trust and
| its officials have been acting in re-
straint of trade by conspiring to die
! tate the price of sugar. 1t is re-
| ported that Attorney General Wick
ersham is preparing the necessary
papers for a suit demanding the dis
| solution of the trust. No combine
is more directly the result of tariff
protection than is the sugar trust.
It virtually controls all the produc-
ton of refined sugar and is also
controlling interest of the beet sugar
factories. The sugar trust has swim
died the government and by favor
of a republican congress is protected
in plundering all the people. BY
reason of the high tariff on sugar the
price to the consumer is nearly dou-
BILE what it would be if the tariff tax
were reduced to a reasonable per
cent for revenue purposes.
Now, all this has been going on
since 1891 when the sugar trust was
incorporated; and even that ardent
hunter of bad trusts, Mr.. Roosevelt,
when President made no move
against the sugar trust. In fact, he
was hand-in-glove with MIR. Parsons
who was attorney for the trust, and
refused to prosecute the trust when
the necessary evidence to convict was
offered by Mr.. Earle of Philadelphia.
But the conviction of some of the
officials of the sugar trust in con-
nection with the weighing frauds has
forced the hand of the Taft admins
tration; for the public was asking
why this bad trust was allowed to
continue unmolested.
If the tariff duty on refined sugar
were decreased and the sugar revis-
ed to abolish the Dutch standard the
trust would be compelled to reduce
the price of sugar to the public, or
foreign refined sugar would be i'm
ported and the trust would lose it's
business through the operation of the
business law of supply and demand.
This prosecution of the sugar trust
now being attempted may lead to a
few thousand dollars fine being i'm
posed but unless the attorney gen.
eral attacks the trust under the GRIM
inal section of the antitrust law, 1t
is tolerab1y certain that the trust
will still be doing business at the
old stand with it's tariff protection
unimpaired through the friendship of
the republican party which it has SO
long and still continues to enjoy.

IT'S the noble and the brave

By perhaps the closest shave.
Who would make the trusts behave
And then some.

In the fall.
Boosters marching double Quio4
To the hall.
And they paw the patient air.

OnSe for all
IT'S the candidate who begs.
Hear his note.
He would walk around on eggs
For a vote.
He will promise half the night
He will work with all his might
For the justice and the right
And will never in a fight
Turn his coat.
Listen to his grand appeal
On the air
That he is, he can't conceal,
On the square.
He would rip a lung in two,
Swear that turkey red was blue,
Pass a punk cigar to you,
And most anything would do
To get there.

opposition TO Mr. Atkinsons candi-

The failure to encompass Mr.. At

There was no occasion to make a

PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANISM
WINS.

The nomination of Miles Poindex-
ter places the state of Washington
in the vanguard of political progress.
Mr.. Poindexter has shown by word
and deed that his sympathies are
with the people in their determine
ton to make congress more respons-
i've to the public will. Since the pri-
mary elections which have been held
in some of the eastern and western
states, it is evident that there is a
feeling that the faction of the re-
publican party in control of its po-
litical machinery has failed to take
the aggressive stand which the de-
clarations contained in the last ma
tional platform pledged the party to
take.
The last session Of congress dis
closed that in both the senate and
the house there was an aggressive
minority which was strongly opposed
to the dominance of the party by an
Aldrich-Cannon machine, and natur-
ally Mr.. Poindexter, by reason of his
prediction promises, was committed
to opposition to Mr.. Cannon. The
revolt against Cannonism became
more and more pronounced until the
issue assumed national importance
and threatened to encompass the de-
feat of the republican party in the
congressional elections this fall. The
voluntary retirement of Senators
Aldrich and Hale combined with the
reputation of Cannonism by the ad-
ministration led to a popular belief
that those senator's and representa-
tives who had registered their oppo-
sition to these influences had just
grounds for their protests
The course of Mr.. Poindexter has
been approved by the people of this
state, and when he enters the senate
he will work hand in hand with such
republicans as Dolliyer, BriStOw,
Beveridge, Clapp and La Toilette,
who have fought the peoples battles
in their demand for a stricter regu-
lation of big corporate interests. A
party to continue in power must re-
cognize from time to time that new
adjustments must be made to fit new
needs.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ELECTION

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ELECTION
Great political significance will be
attached throughout the nation to
the election returns from this state.
This state being the home of Secre-
tary Ballinger, the inference will be
drawn that the state is not in sym
pathy with the policies for which the
secretary stands. The election of
Mr.. Poindexter, who was strong
champion of the principles of nation
al as opposed to state control of ma
tural resources will commit the state
to the national idea as championed
by Theodore Roosevelt.
When the people of a state so
strikingly disregard geographical
considerations in expressing their
choice, it is evident that a tremen-
dous feeling of protest has taken
possession of them. AS far as Wash
ington is concerned, the demand is
unmistakable that the people are
strongly opposed to bossism in either
state or nation.

THOMAS HI. ATKINSON.

In selecting Mr.. Atkinson to rep
resent the people of Chelan county
in the state legislature, no mistake
was made. Mr.. Atkinson is a fruit
grower and his interests in good
legislation are identical with the in
terests of every citizen of the county.
There was naturally some opposi-
ton to the candidacy of Mr. Atkin-
son from those who sincerely felt
that Judge Chase was entitled to
their suffrageS from personal con-
