Editor The Argus: Permit me to
commend the spirit which prompts you
to offer the columns of your paper fol-
a discussion of the qualifications for
mayor and commissioners of this city
Our people expressed themselves in
no uncertain terms on the adoption OF
the commission plan, and signified
their displeasure at the old system and
present conditions.
To be a satisfactory candidate for
mayor a man should have reached ma
ture age, have resided in this city at
least 10 years, be taxpayer, owner of
property and a man of family, known
to have successfully conducted a bus
mess or profession, and whose honesty.
sagacity and sound business Judge
ment is unquestioned. He should have
the courage to stand by his own con-
victions and regulate the evils that are
sure to be found in a city of this size
in a reasonable and conservative man
ner.
He should be big enough to appre-
ciate the honor conferred broad
enough to stand honest criticism and
dignified enough to conduct his cam
paign for election as the law contem-
plates, and, if elected, to conduct him
self in manner that will be a credit
to himself and an honor TO the city
With a mayor and four commission
ers of this character elected, the
people need have no fear for the sue
cess of the commission form OF govern
ment in Rock Island.
AN OBSERVER.
Editor The Argus-Dear Sir: May
or and commissioners elected by the
people OF Rock Island to serve their
manifold interests in life to the ut
most should be men of conscience,
through knowledge of work in hand,
free, and willing to live in their work: :
men of broad mind, to freely leave to
all to love and serve God in their
very own way; be like the immovable
rock in obeying, creating and enforc-
ing law for all to live on; so as to
make this city indeed a happy whole.
Yours for the best,
NJ. ]. B. SIEBRANDTS.

AND NOW WHAT NET?
Reno Comfy Man Claims Coyotes Are
Farmers Long Lost Friends.

The Kansas prairie wolf. the coy
ote, is one Of the best friends'the Kan
sas farmer has according to John
Rowland, Reno county farmer and
stock raiser, says the Hutchinson
News,
"The coyote will occasionally Kill
chickens and turkeys said MIR. Row
land, "but the little loss and damage
is overbalanced by the benefit by kill
ing rabbits.
1.-THE determination Of the coyotes
will certainly be followed by a great
increase in the rabbits which do far
more damage to the grain than the
coyotes do to the poultry"
1t was this very line Of reasoning
coupled with the fact that the bounty
business was being abused which has
led the Reno county board Of COM
missioners to abolish the bounty on
wolf scalps.
And yet, John Rowland is one Of
the greatest enemies the wolves have
for he Is an ardent lover Of the vol
hunting sport. He has . pack Of .
great woif bounds which have chased
land slain many a grey veteran Of th'
prairie. ses...
Rowland and his pack Of hounds
are wen known all over western Kan
,sas. And be hunts them for tie sheel
sport OF ii, scorning the bounty O
dollar scalp formerly offered.
Mr.. Rowland, who is now suffer
ing from a broken collar bone, ant
unable to do much work at present
has been spending his time with his
hounds down on the Forsha ranch
near Castleton.
There are a lot OF wolves In the
country" he said, but they really
don't do any harm to the farmer and
stockman."
One reason why the board of com
missioners took off the bounty was
the discovery that in many parts Of
1.-THE country farmer boys are de'iber-
ately breeding wolf cubs for the boun.
ty Of a dollar per scalp. They would
refrain from killing the little wolves
but would capture only the cubs.
4 The country was spending several
hundred dollars a year in bounties
and being deliberately worked"
Mr.. Rowland had bis pack or dogs
Tout northwest Of Hutchinson Monday
and they caught a big wolf near the
home OF Charles Wagner.

LOOK OUT FOR DISASTERS.


Six disasters will occur In the Unit
cd States in 1911. This is not the
prediction OF an astrologer, but Of
the American Red Cross Society
taught by experience. 1t does not
undertake to say when or where they
will occur or whether they will be
caused by fire, storm, flood, earth
uake or explosion, but It is sure they
will come.
Statistics prove not only that an
average OF five or six disasters, Sc
we're enough to call aid from the Red
Cross, may be expected every year In
me United States, but the demands
from foreign countries are much more
numerous Some idea Of the char
acter and variety Of the disasters
with which the Red Cross deals Is
given In the review of the last twelve
months. In the United States one
hurricane, one mine fire, two mine
explosions and forest fires in Idaho,
Montana, Oregon, Washington and
minnesota called for help. Foreign
CO antilles demanding aid from the
Red Cross included floods In Mexico,
France, seryla and Japan; the Ar
menian massacre; the earthquake in
Costa Rica and the relief Of the starv-
lnE soldiers Of Nicaragua.
In the disasters which occurred In
she United States sos lives were lost,
while, approximately, $500 persons
were given immediate attention.
About SIX thousand persons lost their
homes by fire or hurricane. The Red
Cross expended siss,Ooo for relief
operations in the United States and In
1oreign countries sss.5OO was spent,
maiking . total Of t2s2,5Oo. Other
resief funds expended in this country
IN CONJUNCTION with those Of the Red
Cross amounted to s21s.OOo, making
zhe grand total Of relief expenditures
for the year under the Red Gross
leadership, s4so,0O0.

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE FOR 1911.
Tuesday Seems to Be Most Popular
Day for Festivals Next Year.


Holidays and special days OF the
year are usually we'll divided among
the different days of the week. In
the year 1911, Tuesday scores most
with four and Monday and Sunday
score next with three such days, two
of them holidays.
The fact that Easter always comes
ON Sunday gives that day OF the week
an advantage. But as Easter is
movable festival, special holt
day in observance of the day is never
looked for,
In 1911 New Years day, Lincoln's
birthday aad Easter come on Sunday.
Sunday ushers in the new year, and
.etires IT, LIncoln's birthday. Feb
ruary IL, is a holiday in Kansas, but
1.-THE day is not well observed. This
wear. coming on Sunday, all the
stores will have to close on that day.
Easter Sunday comes April is this
year. sEfosa
Monday has May day, Labor Day
and Christmas day. May day which
comes May is not holiday and Is
not generally observed. Labor day
comes September 4 this year. Christ
mas comes December rs and this is
the greatest holiday Of all. Following
Sunday It means a double holiday.
Tuesday in 1911 will bring us Mem
orial Day, Fourth Of July, Halloween
and st. Valentines day. Valentine
day Is not holiday but its coming
February II means a somewhat gem
eral observance as, since the intro
duetion Of the post card Valentine,
the old celebration has grown more
general. Memorial day, coming May
80 is a holiday and one Of general
observance. The Fourth Of July is
one OF the big holidays OF the year.
Halloween, October 81, the day Of
destruction, a'so comes on Tuesday.
