THE SPENDTHRIFTS
 INCOME TO CONTINUE

The plan of providing more money to insure economy, Is evidently to be adopted by the General Assembly. Renewal of the State tax upon the towns for two years is clearly 'on the cards. Gov. Baldwin has called attention to the need of economy in order to avoid a deficit, and the an- swer is to be, not a cutting-down of expenditures, but an endeavor to avert the deficit by renewing the very un- ropular State tax The Governor several methods by which expendi- lures could be reduced, but not one of them has been adopted nor, so far as we have noted, has any move toward the adoption of either of them been made. There is evidently neither desire nor intention on the part of this Republican General Assembly to reduce expenditures.
 It has always been urged, in support of the direct tax upon the towns, that it would touch the legislators pockets through increased town rates of taxa ton and move them toward economy in State expenditures, but they have paid increased taxes for two years without any visible effect upon them. The Republican leaders are opposed to any reduction of expenditures and the rank and file follow them blindly.
 The familiar old policy of continuin g the spendthrift's income, as a means of moving him to economy and turn ing him into a savings bank depositor, is to be renewed. Cities have boards of Finance, Apportionment, etc, to adjust outgo to income; the State has nofreal check upon appropriations. and the General Assembly confronts defi- cits and debt increase with smiling indifference. Advice from the Cover nor isS thrown away upon it; remon- strances from the Mayors of cities and Selectmen. of towns are wasted. This Republican Legislature is digging a pitfan for its party.

 In those days religion and govern ment were nearly synonymous terms and whether Pagan or Monotheistic. Religion was the controlling power in the state. Any infringement of the superstitious beliefs of the people or the introduction of a new religion was treason to the state and punish able with death.
 Persecution for religions sake. has seemed to have been the heritage of all nations in all ages of the world.
 The devo+ees of Pagan Barbarism. and worshipers of many gods, held sacred the faith of their ancestry, and ranked among their bitterest enemies, the followers of any other faith.
 Tn the earlier history of the church, religious intolerance engendered an- tagonisms and prosecutions among opposing. factions, which ended only in the eXtermination or silencing of one or the other of the factions.

The Maine Democrats have fulfilled d their pledge to resubmit to the yotefs the question of prohibition. It has long been known that prohibition doesn't prohibit in Maine, and that the liquor traffic thrived, without produc- ing any revenue for the State or the towns Prohibition has, there as else where. merely put a premium upon illicit sales. It is quite probable that the Maine voters will reject a policy which has been tried for many years and found wanting

CANDIDATES OUT AGAINST CRAFT
 AND INTEREST
Especial from United Press. }

(Speclal rom united Press
 Chicago, March 14.-Formally the-people' political forces through out the country, Charles E. Merriam candidate for mayor of Chicago, yes- terday, attacked the government of American cities in statement to the United Press.
 Copyright, 1911, By United Press
 Associations.)
 (By Charles E. Merriam.)
 The government of our cities is not as honest as the people of the cities. Municipal affairs are not as intelli- gently and as carefully conducted as the affairs of the citizens. City gov ernment is not as progressive as the citizens. Our governments are years behind the times and the people and they must be brought up to date. We have come to a time when great changes must be made in the con- duct of our municipal affairs. Free government cannot continue, if we are to be ruled by grafters, spoilsmen and special interests. Government by crooks is demoralizing; government by spoiismen is wasteful and ineffi- cient; government by special inter ests is inconsistent and incompatible with the protection and advancement of the general interests. We must drive out graft and grafters. We must break the yoke of the spoils- men, we must SubOrd1nate the special interests to the general interests and the city as we'll.
 I know the present system of poli- tical policy cannot endure. Americans ought to take the lead in progressive government. We ought to do our share in the task of settling the great problems of the mighty urban com munities, springing up all over the world. My campaign for the Repub- lican nomination for mayor was a direct challenge to the political methods and results that have gener- ally been obtained in American cities. have fought the combination o1 graft. spells and special interests that has strangle hold on our cities.

The Vanderbilts have been, for sev- eral years. practically out of New York Central which was for many years controlled by them. The .soutds are practically out of Western Union and are evidently getting out of Missouri Pacific. The Harrimans will doubtless become in due time in- active invest tors instead of active managers in railroad affairs. James J. Hill and Edwin Hawley are still c. eive. but both are old men and the rir7le when boIn must retire cannot in the ordinary course of nature, be very far distant Gradually, the great rail road systems are coming under the control and direction of great banking concerns, leaders among them being J. P. Morgan & Co. and Kuhn, Loeb & Co And back of all stand the monumental Standard Oil interests.

Uncle Joe" Cannon achieved his first prominence in the House by fre- quent objections to increased expendi- lures. His "I object was almost con- stantly in evidence. and he thus earned the title of Watch Dog of the Treasury He will be a member of the next House. and he will again have an opportunity of distinguishing himself by a close watch upon appro- priations. Let us hope that he has not forgotten the familiar old 'I ob- ject", and that he will use 1t when Tightful occasion serves. But we greatly fear that he and the other skilled parliamentarians of the Repub- lican side will devote their exclusive attention to the muddling of orderly procedure for wholly partisan req sons.

EXCUSES MEN MAKE
I'M RELIGIOUS LIFE
Mans Existence Does Not Consist in
Material Possessions, Holds
DIR. Breeder.

Last evening at Memorial Christian
church DR.. H. o. Breeder preached on
the old theme of Excuses A good
audience heard this old theme present
ed in a fresh manner. DR.. Breeder has
said from the very first that all men
are religiously inclined, meaning, of
course, that most men in a general way
have religious convictions and feel
morally responsible towards their max
err. He said that all men desire to be
righteous-desire to be saved. But so
many have false notions as to the best
things in life. They fail to discrimin-
ate between that which is passing and
that which is permanent. They are
prone TO get the secondary first, and
the primary last. "A mans life does
not consist in the abundance of the
things which he may possess said the
doctor. Life is more than meat; more
than getting; more than applause hear
ing. But when a man is brought face
to face with the greatest of all Ques-
tions-the one that relates to his char
acter and his soul, he will excuse him
self on the grounds that his environ
ment, the peculiar nature of his posi-
ton or profession, or the unethical re-
lations which his business forces him
TO sustain to his fellows. He will ar
que that he isn't in position to &C
cept Christ Just yet Or he intends to
at a later time. Or, he will excuse him.
self on the grounds that the competi
tive struggle is so keen that he can't
stop and give attention to religious
matters else his opponent will take ad-
vantage of him. There were two at
cessions at the service last night. To-
morrow will probably be the last Sun
day, as the meetings will probably
close about the middle of next week.
There will be three services tomorrow.
At 10:45 a. m. DR.. Breeder will speak
upon the theme, Things TO Think
About" The second and third mis-
sions will join in the morning service.
At 3 p. m. the theme will be Cam
bling and Prostitution in Rock Island"
This will be a meeting for men only.
The mayor, the council and the labor
ing men of the city have been invited
At 1880 p. m. the theme will be Can
a Moral Man be Saved?" There will
be special music by the Limit brothers
and the chorus at all the services.

LET'S DO 1T NOW. SAYS MOLINE

The following editorial appeared in
the Moline Mail and Journal last ev-
ening:
According to a Rock Island news
paper the sentiment is strong there in
favor of making Moline, Rock Island
East Moline, Silvis and Watertown,
and one or two others. into one munich
paIity There is much in favor of such
amalgamation. A segregation of the
kind would make the combined the
second city in size in Illinois in popu-
lation and industry. 1t would cost the
taxpayers much less to run the whole
than as is the case under present con-
ditions. One set of five officials could
take care of the interests of all in
stead of each bearing its individual
expense.
Moline, Rock Island, East Moline
and SiVis are the homes of large man.
ufacturing industries, many of which
are of national and international fame.
Nearly every country in the world
uses goods created in the four cities.
In a very large measure their interests
are identical, more so in fact than any
other cities in the middle west Not
one inhabitant in ten knows where TO
locate the dividing line between Rock
Island and Moline, or Moline and East
Moline, or Silvis and East Moline The
four places are so nearly one in interest
that people are inclined to look upon
them as unit
1T is also a fact that there is no
dangerous jealousy and rivalry be-
tween the captains of industry in any
of the cities. They go on the broad
principle that what aids one city con-
tributes to the good of ALL Labor in
the various factories is not local by
any means TO the city where the indus
tries are located. In this way the best
of feeling exists. interests are treated

At 7. M. 6. A.

Tomorrow another of the usual
busy Sundays will be had at the Y
NJ. c. A. At 2:3O will be held the
regular meeting of the B. G. NJ.
which is for all boys between the
ages of 10 and 16, whether MEM
bers of the Y. NJ. c. A. or not. At
this meeting DR.. H. o. Breeder, vino
has been conducting revival meet
ings at the Memorial Christian
church, will give the talk, one of
special interest to every boy in the
city. This is also the first meeting
of the membership contest which is
to run for the next 10 Sundays. This
is an especially new sort of con-
test, one in which every boy who
knows about it is greatly interested.
The meeting of the Younger
Young Mems club will start a half
hour later than usual, at 4:30 in
stead of at 4, because of the mass
meeting for men only at the Memoir
ial Christian church. The meeting
at the Y. NJ. c. A. for men will be
addressed by G. c. Blakslee on
Round About Jerusalem" After
the meeting a fellowship luncheon
will be served.
