To the Disappointed.

Many are called but few are chosen.
There will be lot Ct surprised and
perhaps bitterly disappointed aspir-
ants for public office in Rock Island
tonight The uninitiated viii find for
the FIRST time that in politics there is
more or less truth in the injunction
that all men are liars. The man who
has based his calculations on the as
surances of support from everyone he
has met in behalf of his own candi-
dacy, will find to his sorrow that some
one has deceived him, that the verbal
political promise is not a bankable
quantity. OF the nine candidates for
mayor, two will survive today's fray
and of the II aspirants for commits
sionership but eight will stand before
The people. The man who went into this
contest to measure his worth against
field of opponents should have con-
sidered in advance the percentage of
chance that was his, and while as said
before, the candidate to whom poll
tics is a new game will in many in
stances receive a severe jolt, he
should not be dlsconsolate, and above
all should not permit himself to become
bitter. He should take it just as if
he had not been a candidate, for
having nothing when he started, moth
ing could be taken from him, and aft
er all he is out only his time and cam
paign expenses and for that he has
the worth of experience.
The man so wrapped up in selfish
ness that he would evince spite TO-
be fit to serve the people at any cost.
So if you are candidate and you find
too late that men betray and that all
is vanity. do not look upon the world
as having given you the worst of it.
Cheer up and laugh and pull for
the best men left

WANTS NO TRUSTS
Australian Government Serves
Notice on American Pack
ing Firms.
CAN'T DO BUSINESS THERE
IL Present Laws Are Not Strong
Enough Others Will Be Enacted
TO Cover Ground.

Melbourne, Australia. Feb. 2S.-The
commonwealth of Australia has served
notice on the business world that it
would not harbor foreign trusts" The
following memorandum on the subject
was given 10 the press by Sir r. W.
Best. minister of trade and customs:
For several months past II has been
an open secret that representatives OF
the American meat trust have been
visiting Australia. ostensibly with the
object of extending its operations here.
To BAR THE TRUST.
The government is determined TO
take immediate and drastic action TO
discourage and if necessary TO prohibit
its operations in Australia. 1t is no.
proposed to wait until the combine Sc
cures vested interests in this country.
THE minister of trade and customs
is consulting with the attorney general
with the view to bringing the full force
of the present law into operation. and
ton
y The action of the government will
extend TO trust operations in Australia
whether conducted directly or indirect
ly and will not permit the repetition in
Australia of the scandals and merciless
methods characterizing monopolies in
other parts of the world"
sCoFF AT REPORT.
Chicago, Feb. 2S.-Chicago packers
laughed at the report that the beef
trust" is trying to get a hold in Aus
tralia. They declared there is no beef
trust" and that Australia has been
poor field for packers
They pointed out that five years ago,
as result of drouth and disease, near
ly all the cattle died. Since that time
few cattle have been raised During
the past year, however, conditions have
improved and. the Chicago packers say.
some beef of inferior quality has been
shipped TO England.

The Express Bill.

Realizing that a stone wall is be-
fore them il is understood that the
express companies will make no or
ganized effort to prevent the pas
sage of the Hearn bill which classes
the express companies as common
carriers and places them under the
authority OF the state railroad and
warehouse commission. The bill was
one of the first presented at this
session and after being reported out
by the senate committee it passed
that body by an unanimous vote.
Since then II has been officially ap-
proved by the railway commission
and is also understood to have the
backing OF the governor and the state
administration. 1t is a matter of
non-partisan legislation. in the in
terest of all the shippers of the state
and there is no manifest reason for
quibble or delay in the house.
The bill in the lower branch is in
the hands of Representative George
H. Wilson. who is prepared to make
an aggressive fight for its passage.
The express companies recognize the
inevitable, but wish to impair the
full operations of the bill and there
fore their general counsel has pre-
pared some amendments which have
already been submitted. These
amendments will receive such con-
sideration as their merits entitle
them TO, but will necessarily be IN
der suspicion. Certainly no amend
ment which does not recognize the
authority of the railroad and ware
house commission TO fix maximum
rates and equalize schedules within
the state will be entitled to or re-
ceive more than passing considera-
ton.
The bill is a step in the way of
corporate regulation, but is neither
an advanced nor a radical one. II is
merely safeguarding the people to
an extent that should have been an
accomplished fact long ago.
