Secret Service Chief Gets
Tip" Painting Came in
Through Canada.

Secret Service operatives under the
personal direction of Chief wilkie,
agents Of the Treasury Department, and
special investigators of the Department
of Justice, are today "combing' the
foreign quarters of every large city in
the United States in search of Leonardo
De Vincfs priceless Mona Lisa
These men are working on a clue
from abroad that the famous painting
stolen from the Louvre, August %, has
already been smuggled into this coun-
try.
According to the information in the
hands of the Secret Service men. the
source of which is carefully guarded,
the picture was brought into this coun-
Try from Canada through point west
OF the Great Lakes where the customs
scrutiny is not of the keenest.
This method was adopted by the
smugglers, because II was realized as
practically hopeless TO get the great
painting in through any Of the Atlantic
seaport cities.
The story runs that the painting, after
being landed in a Canadian port, was
shipped Immediately West One of the
matters being investigated is a report
that the picture is in the hands of
agents of the Camorra, who are try
ing to dispose of 1t to a noted Western
millionaire art fancier.
Secret Service agents were informed
by wire from New York this morning
that Mrs. Stanley Fleetwood called at
the French consul generals office to-
day and described the suspicious atti-
Louvre the day before the picture was
taken. She thinks one of the thieves
was a woman, whose description she
gave to the consul general.

free from these abuses, but where
we can call a halt against appeals
to a spirit of pure hostility to pros
perity on the theory that no one can
be prosperous without being dishOn-
est or a violatOr of law in securing
the profits of his business.
FRowN DOWN ATTACKS.
Let us put our shoulders togeth-
er in a movement to promote the
business prosperity of the country
by frowning down those attacks that
are engendered not by a real desire
to eliminate abuses, but by a wish
to arouse in the people an unjust
prejudice and take away from them
their clear perception as to their real
interest in encouraging the invest
ment Of capital, in commencing its
thrifty, wise and lawful use to Sc
cure good and reasonable profit and
to enjoy the widespread influence Of
the prosperity that business thus en-
couraged is bound to shower upon
the people at large.
eve must have investments from
which to secure a large wages fund,
which is needed to support the wage
earners. We must inspire in the
business men who control those in
vestments the confidence that they
will not be driven out of business.
If railroads are unjustly legislated
against by state legislation to the
point where they cannot do a profit
able business, the injury is more di-
rect to the wage earners of the rail-
way than 1t is to the shareholder
because the shareholders presum-
ably are people who have some other
means of livelihood than the diyi-
dends from the stock, while the wage
earners are entirely dependent on a
continuation Of conditions which
make the wages fund large and sup
ports the wage Garner and his fam
lily.
Let us reason together. Let us
be charitable and kind. Let us not
be so suspicious and ascribe corrupt
motives to everyone in the commun-
ity but our particular friends and
political associates. Let us do team
work in the community. Let us have
legislation that helps, or an absence
of legislation if it be unnecessary.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-09-29

And let us approve and praise the
great business enterprise and genius
that honestly and by proper methods
accumulates property and puts IL
into productive industries, supports
the thousands of workmen and fur
nishes profit to those whose savings
have gone into the shares and bonds
of the enterprise.
HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.
This is the hope | have for the
future. Business is hating now.
There is doubt and distrust among
investors, due to n fear OF blind
enmity toward successful enterprise.
What is the remedy? 1t is the res
toration Of confidence between the
classes of persons who have been OPP
posing each other in times past, who
now, after the reforms are initiated
and are in process of being effected,
ought TO come together in amity and
make the best use of the enormous
resources we have in this country
for the promotion OF general pros
perity and the securing and encour-
agement of Individual happiness"
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-09-29
TO PROSPERITY.

1t is not progressive policy in
any true sense to be hostile to pros
perity of any part of the country. It
is not progressive to be against d
railway corporation because it is a
railway corporation. 1t is progress
siye TO take measure by statutes
which shall regulate railways and
prevent their recurring to evils of
which they have been guilty in the
past: but, assuming them to be en-
gagged in lawful business, it is of the
highest interest that we should Sc
cure TO them reasonable rates, so
that their shareholders may have a
profit, and that we should not enact
legislation in a spirit of hostility and
think that merely because we have
hit a railway corporation and injur-
ed it we have done something for the
public good. Any other view is
lacking in sanity, and it is that spir-
it of unreasOning and unreasonable
antagonism which political exigency
seems to develop and against which
the complaints of business men may
with propriety and good reason be
directed.
"Of course, we are all anxious to
prevent the acquisition of undue
profits by anybody, whether in the
form of discriminating rates and re-
bates or by combination in re-
straint of trade, or by any other
means which is unlawful or improp-
er; but we ought not to allow our
fear that something of that sort may
happen to lead us on to a general
attitude of enmity toward the &C
emulation of money by thrift and
foresight and to its lawful invest
ment in great enterprise for reason
able profit.
The misfortune of the situation
I perfectly realize. 1t is one of the
inevitable consequences of a deep
rooted evil. You can not eradicate
it by popular movement without the
movement becoming so very strong
as TO be carried for the time beyond
the median line of common sense
and into the extremities of unreal
sonableness.
I'VE have reached a point where
we can call a halt, not in the pro-
gressive movement to keep business
