N 1919.

Theodore Roosevelt will make the
mistake OF his life II he allows HIM
self to be nominated for President
at the Republican national onven
ton to be held IN Chicago text June.
There Ia no denying the enormous
popularity of the former President
and he has no. greater admirer
than the EVENING NEWS. This
newspaper has stood by the Roose-
velt policies from the beginning. We
look upon Mr.. Roosevelt today as
the typical American. It 10 because
: aaluiIe him and count ourselves
among his most ardent supporters,
that we express the opinion that he
will make the mistake OF his life II
be allows himself to be nominated
for. President by the Republicans in
1912.
We are we'll aware that Mr.
Roosevelt has repeatedly said that
he Is not d candidate, and would
consider 1t a calamity should he be
nominated. Yet we cannot Ignore
the fact that within the past few
a-.r5AH#
weeks there has developed a decided
movement to make the Oyster Bay
statesman the party candidate. Ac-
tions and statements by Mr.. Roose-
welt, whether intentional or not, have
ell tended to lend impetus to this
movement.
While we cannot agree with those
who say 1t would be g third term
should Mr.. Roosevelt be elected
again, as he has not yet served two
full terms-his first so-called term
being merely to fill out the nnexpir-
ed term of William McKinley-still
he has had seven years In the White
House which comes pretty near be-
Ing the limit fixed in the mind of
the average American. As far az the
EVENING NEWS la concerned, we
believe -four more years" OF Roose-
welt would be a good thing. For q
great many people, however. there Ia
such a thing Ms wearing ones vel

personal magnetism and becomes

He loses the popularity he once had

City Will Save 1882 as Re-
suit of Action Taken by
Commissioner Bear.
NEW PUMP WORKING WELL
Two Shifts of Men at Different
Pumping Stations Are No
Longer Necessary

In order to bring about economy IN
his department, Commissioner Jonas
Bear has dismissed J. r. O'Donnel and
Fred Empke from the force employed
at the filter plant he figures saw
ing by the move of 81 CO. per year. He
greatly regrets that the funds OF the
department necessitate such action, for
the men are valuable employees. The
appropriation for the department is
well used up and the cut was there
fore necessary.
TWO SHIFTS UNNECESSARY.
The installation of the repaired cen
trifugaI engine in the filter house made
possible the dismissal Of the men.
Heretofore the plant has had two en-
gines in operation, requiring the at
tention of an additional man on each
shift With the saving of $500 by
the abolition of the Office of superin-
tendent of waterwo~ks and the addi-
tional saving of the funds from the
dismissal of the filter plant employees,
Commissioner Bear expects to keep
wei within the limit of his appropria-
ton.

SAVINGS BANK IS
PROVING POPULAR

Authorities in the local postoffice
stated today that he number of de
posts made with UnCle Sans postal
savings bank in this city has passed
all expectations. While the amounts
are not enormous, til number of de-
pOsitOrs is considerably i'll excess of
what was expected. There is no def
mite way Of ascerta.nlng under the
laws, but il is believed nevertheless
that there are more depositors at the
Rock Island Postal Savings bank than
at the postal banks il either of the
neighboring cities.
A large majority of the depositors
are from the working class of people
who are using the Gunk for the very
purpose for which It was instituted
that of a safe place for keeping saw
ings. Thus far not oae alien has bank
ed his money with tbs governments
representatives. but it is believed many
people of foreign bi.th will use the
bank when they have learned more
about it.

QUITS POSITION
Resigns Job as Special Detec-
tive for the Rock Island
Railroad.
RESULT OF SALOON BRAWL
"copper" Gets Into Fight With Bar
tender and Is Drubbed Ac-
cording to Report

Peter J. Fleming, special detective
Of the Rock Island road, and sworn in
as a deputy sheriff so as to have au-
thority to make arrests, has resigned
his position, and his resignation has
been accepted. This action fore
stalled a move on the part of Sheriff
o. L. Bruner, who has been dissatis-
field with Mr.. Fleming for some time,
and had contemplated requesting his
resignation.
The resignation is understood to be
the result of a brawl in Silvis a few
days ago at which time it is alleged
that Fleming. who had been drinking,
entered a certain Silvis saloon and
started to clean out the place, stating
at the same time that he could lick
anyone in the town.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
He became especially abusive to
Jack Ditch, the bartender, who forth
with proceeded to demonstrate that
Mr.. Jennings statements as to his
physical and pugilistic prowe5s We're
founded upon a delusion and a mis-
apprehension. Witnesses state that
when Ditch got through with Fleming
the detective was a fit subject for the
hospital, and all the lust for battle
had vaporized
A number of complaints have been
received from time to time as to Flem-
ing's propensity to use his sap pro-
miscuously, soaking the victim first

committed afterwards. No one has

proximately $4,000 to the property.
The fire was caused either by a de-
fective chimney fue or crossed
wires. The fire companies were able
10 save the yards from destruction.
Thousands of feet of dry lumber
were stored there and had the blaze
spread further the entire plant
would have been consumed. Albert

BRUNER OBJECTS
TO STATEMENTS
Says Wrong Impression Is Be

Rock Pile.
HOLDS 1T is EXPENSIVE
Cites Statistics to Show That There
Are More Prisoners There
Now Than Formerly.

Sheriff o. L Brurer takes serious
exception 70 statistics given out re-
Gently by w. E. Parmenter Of Andalu-
STA relative TO the savings to the coun-
" which the rock pile Is supposed to
have made possible. Says the sheriff:
In his statement, Mr.. Parmenter
puts in a strong boost for workhouse,
and by his system Of calculation ar
rives at the conclusion that since the
number of prisoners in the county jail
has been cut in two since the rock pile
has been working, that the county can
build a workhouse with the vast saw
ings and use the surplus for charita-
bic purposes.
DOUBTS KNOWLEDGE.
There is d grave doubt in my mind
as TO whether Mr.. Farmenter knows
what he is talking about. We have 80
prisoners thus far this month, under the
rock pile system. and for the month of
October we had go. Under Sheriff Kittil-
sen a year ago. without the stone
crushing equipment, the average was
So. The new system is a greater eX-
pense 70 the county, as far as keeping
the prisoners IS concerned. than with
out. ! get requests every day from
these men TO be allowed TO work on
the pile their contention being that
they would rather be outside than in
the jail. A good many Of the prisoners
that are bound over would like 10 get
out and work. but We are not permit
ted to grant their requests We are
working from il to 1C prisoners every
day, which is a greater number than
one deputy really ought 10 handle
NOT OPPOSING SYSTEM
Il am willing to work the prisoners
just as the board Of supervisors has
directed me TO. but | dislike the i'm

money for the county for the financial
