BRIDGE OVER ROCK

Plate Which Holds Stringer From

Danger Is Removed.

The bridge over the branch of
Rock river just south of Vandruffs
island was repaired today so that
the Milan line cars could go over it
again in safety. 1t was not used yes
terday because it was thought to be
too dangerous. A plate in the arch
over the floor OF the bridge had brok-

the metal stringers which hangs
down to hold up the floor. This al
lowed the floor to sag nearly four
inches when any considerable weight

BLAME ON LUNCH
Chief of Detectives Says Feed
in Saloons Is Attraction
for Moochers.
THREE MORE FINED TODAY
Go to Jail for 20 Days to Work Out
Assessment of S100-Dayenport
and Moline Not Troubled.

, Three more of the type of DRINKS
and "moochers" who have caused the
police so much trouble were arrested
last night and this morning Police
Magistrate c. ]. Smith sentenced four
TO 20 days in jail on charges Of being
drunk and disorderly. They were pick
ed up at various saloons. There have
been IL of this stamp sent down this
week and this has caused considerable
speculation as to why so many OF them
come TO Rock Island. Few of them
had been here more than a week and
most of them only day or two before
being arrested and Jailed. Detective
James Brinn ventured the opinion yes
terday that the custom OF giving free
lunches in the saloons was the draw
ing card for the hoboes. Neither Mo-
line nor Davenport is troubled by this
class of humanity TO the extent that
Rock Island is, and in neither place is
free lunch served.
EASY PICKING HERE.
Rock Island furnishes easy picking
for the "moochers," however, and it is
not 10 De WOnQeTeu at IndJ lnSS Guile
here in droves 1t Is a simple matter
for one of this type TO accost some
pedestrian and beg for a dime with
such insistence that it nearly always
is forthcoming. This doesn't take
much time, and If the victim dislikes
making a scene. il is easy for the
"moocher' to get away without get
ting pinched. He then beats it to the
nearest saloon and spends the money
for booze and then eats his fill of the
free lunch. The begging of the dime,
which requires from five minutes to
half an hour, according to the ''mooch-
er's" ability to pick out his victim.
takes the place of earning a meal, and
1t is not to be wondered at that this
city is troubled with this class of buns
II looks as though the best way to get
rid of them is to stop the giving of
free lunches.

is NO AGREEMENT
Telephone War in Upper End
of County Not Likely to
Be Settled.
JOINT SWITCH is REJECTED
Independent and Crescents Unable to
Get Together on Terms for
Maintenance.

Overtures looking 10 a virtual con-
solidation of the Crescent Telephone
company and the Independent Tele-
phone company, the two mutual con-
Germs doing business in the upper
end of the county, have failed. The
Port Byron company recently sub
mitted proposition for the joint use
of its switch at Port Byron. the Cres-
cent company TO have the use of the
building rent free and in return to
give the Independent people the free
use of its trunk lines, the expenses of
maintaining the switch to be borne
jointly, outside of the rent.
The Crescent people rejected this
and offered to buy a half interest in
the building and to pay half the costs
of keeping up the switch, the INDIE
pendents to continue paying for the
use of trunk lines. The Independ-
ents turned this down.
BUYS OWN BUILDING.
The Crescent company has now
bought a house in Port Byron and
will install its switch in it. all ne
gotiations being declared off. Thus
an indefinite continuation of the sys-
tenn of double phones in the upper
end of the county is assured. Port
Byron business men are the ones to
suffer most, as they are compelled to
keep two instruments, though lack
of connection between the two lines
causes a great deal of Inconvenience
generally throughout the district.

Being in full accord with the re-
quest of The Argus that each can

ers, since the mayor, having no veto
power, will have no control over
their respective departments, and

sible for their actions) under the
commission form of municipal gov
eminent, should state his platform
or principles on which he proposes
to stand in case of his election, l beg
to say that, since it is beyond hui
man intelligence to forecast the flu
ture and since various and perplex-
ing questions may unexpectedly arise
at any moment. a platform can be
formed on general principles only.
Perhaps the honest voter, the one
who has the best interests of the
city at heart, not the one actuated
by self-interests-has never had such
difficult problem to solve as the
one presented in the coming primar-
les
He has 10 choose from the great
number of candidates the right man
for representative of the city. AS
the future can be judged by the past
only, so a mans future actions can
be estimated only by his past activ-
tiles. The man of your choice should
be a taxpayer. His residence in the
city should extend back for a num-
Der of years, so that his past may
be Investigated as a guide to the flu
tUre. He should be a man who has
made a success of his own business;
man with broad and liberal views;
q man with no extreme tendencies in
any direction; man who is able to
do justice to the poor as well as to
the RICH; a man who has the inter
ests of all the people at heart;
man who stands for a clean and
progressive city, both morally and
materially; q man who would con
duct the city's business as he would
his own. Ny platform, therefore. IS

For Adjustment
OF the Ward Lines

Rock Island, Feb 17.-Editor Ar
gus: You ask in Thursdays issue
why the old ward lines should be
abolished. One who does not under.
stand the commission form OF munich
pal government might ask that ques-
ton for enlightenment, although eX-
pecting no logical answer; one who
does understand may be asking the
question to set the electorate to think
in of why they should do, what they
are doing and just what they expect
their new commissioners to do; but,
in fairness to those inexperienced in
the commission form of government
the answer to your query should be
given to the same readers whose at
tention has been directed to this
phase of the subject.
II is true that some designation of
the different sections of the city is
necessary. but the attempt to unity
the whole city and encourage the pop
ulace to act together for the best in
terest of the entire community, and
therefore the best interest of each sec
ton, bling one of the chief objects of
the commission form of city govern
ment, all conditions which tend to pro-
duce sectional aspirations and selfish
ness should be eliminated: in fact,
they must be ehmin ated, or one of the
two chief attributes of the new gov
eminent will be lost: they are. first,
the absence Of the ward system, and
second, the elimination of partisan
ship.
While the new system automatic
:. ~ e
ton, to cling TO the old ward divisions
of the city which was formerly the
basis of so much sectional strife, TO
the detriment Of the city's beneficial
progress, is TO hang onto a dangerous
sentiment and these old divisions
should be lost sight of altogether and
forgotten.
With the abolition of the ward sys-
tenn of election, I ask. as Il counter
question. Why not make the entire
city one group of precincts, as Mo-
line has done? Get entirely away
from the old and essentially wrong
system of municipal government and
forget that the city is anything but
one solid community with every inter
est Of every part and every individual
the common interest of the whole mu-
nicipality: then you will be taking ad-
vantage OF the benefits which the com
mission form naturally provides when
backed by an intelligent electorate
When this is done the people will find
their municipal affairs in a surprising
~ healthy state: they will no longer
have TO submit to the Vaccinations
of politics and the tricks of politi-
clans, but will realize that they are
the controlling force in all their own
municipal affairs
The best interests OF the city are
going 10 be served through the Eve
new commissioners. because they will
be selected from the business and pro-
fessional men and the workingmen on
their own nomination, by an intelli-
gent and heretofore suffering public;
and this long-suffering public is not
forced 10 choose between two evils,
under the new plan. and are not go
ing make q mistake when selecting
five worthy men from the long list of
capable, honest, and public spirited
candidates: and the city and all the
commissioners are going TO be 8 unit
and act as unit for the good OF the
public. B. E. MCCONNELL

ORCHARD AND GARDEN

The first work is to side-harrow
with diverse cultivators just as vines
start to run; then in few days they
are gone over with a hoe; then run
round with a solid sweep; then two
burrows with one-horse turn-plow.
This leaves one furrow in the middle;
this is knocked out and followed with
combination planter. planting peas
IN the middle. The same land plant
ed In same crop not cultivated before
planting would require several more
workings, also vines to be turned
which is injurious to the patotoes.
There are many other things be-
sides plowing and narrowing that re-
duce the cost of cultivation, such
as taking up the stumps, cleaning
out the bitches, keeping fence-rows
clean inside and out, and the removal
OF all grubs and sprouts. Land that
Is cleaned up right, and kept in this
way, not only looks better and is
valued higher. but can be cultivated
with less expense, as the use of i'm
proved and labor-saving tools will
take the place of some high-priced
labor. HIGH McNEIIJ.

PREFERS CANNING TOMATOES
WHOLE.

Dear Aunt Mary: / wash my fruit
jars as they are emptied when using
the fruit. Then, when ready to can
again, wash each jar and lid thor
oughly in hot soapsuds and soda.
then rinse in clear hot water. After
nlllng my range reservoir with cold
water place the jars and lids in 1t
and heat them all gradually to the
boiling point in order to sterilize.
While / am doing this, my hus-
band and the children are preparing
the fruit under the shade of the
old apple tree" where it is cool and
pleasant. l cook just sufficient fruit
each time to fill one jar, as in this
way it doesn't get cooked too much
and retains better shape. Apples,
however, l cook to pulp. 1t takes
three full quarts to fill a half-gallon
jar after being cooked. l use Mason
glass half-gallon jars in preference
to any other; usually have two
vessels on the range cooking fruit at
once and sometimes three, as In this
way the second vessel will be ready
by the time 1 get the first jar filed.
can put up about 20 half-galIon
jars in one afternoon. AS do not
like to have anything else on my
hands when canning, l never at
tempt it in the morning when dinner
is preparing. While the fruit Is
cooking, take one jar and lid from
the reservoir and place in a vessel
OF hot water, then / pull the cooked
fruit to the back of the range where
it is cooler. to fill the jar, and fill it
to overflow. Then dip the new rub
Der in the hot water, and put on jar,
screw on lid and place on the table
at my side to cool Am ready then
for the next jar.
| usually put up some peaches,
just halved, to eat with sugar and
cream in the winter, and | tell you
they are simply grand and taste
just like they were right from the
tree" l can tomatoes whole, as they
lose shape too much when cut up
and are too soupy. After canning a
lot of tomatoes put up the soup
which is left for soup In the winter,
or cut up sweet corn, cook in the
soup and can. Our children know
nothing at all of bought canned
goods as we put up enough for our
own use and to give to friend or
neighbor.
For preserves. I prepare in the
gar as fruit. let stand overnight, then
cook slowly till done.
