AS to Fourth Avenue Paving

Rock Island, Ill, June 24.-Editor
The Argus: AS there seems TO be a
false impression prevailing in our city
in relation to the repaying Of Fourth
avenue, / wish TO make the following
statement through the press for the
information of the public: On the
18th day of January, 1898, an ordi
nance was passed by the city coun.iI
for the paving OF Fourth avenue from
First street to Twentieth street with
brick. The ordinance fo- sand paw
ing called for a fill TO bring the ave-
nue. when completed 70 a uniform
grade: that fill was rolled with the
city steam roller until compact.
When that fill was placed, six inch
es Of crushed rock were added which
was again rolled until perfectly solid;
upon this was placed a q shion of
sand; then came the brick which was
OF an inferior quality. being made at
Searstown, but through loyalty 10 d
home industry the property owners
accepted the quality against their bet

EUROPE's BEST BELOW AMERICA

In the ten years from 1900 TO 1910
the average yearly pay Of all the men
employed on the state railroads OF the
kingdom OF Prussia increased a little
more than 26 per cent. That sounds
well, doesn't II, for one OF the old
countries OF Europe? II is better, in
fact. than the showing which CORES
ponding tests would make IN almost
any other other part Of that continent.
Germany is the most prosperous OF
the large countries OF Europe ana rus
STA is the strongest state Of the Ger
man empire as we'll as the biggest.
But there remains TO be considered
where the gain Of &c per cent left the
! pay Of the men, carefully sifted, who
run the government-owned railroads of
Prussia. The rate Of increase does not
/ tell much unless the actual wages
are known.
What happened was an advance
from an average Of $427. The increase
In 10 years was equivalent to an av-
erage Of $50, or less than SO year 1t
left the earnings Of railroad men in the
largest state of the foremost nation of
the continent equal to a little over IS
a week
Meanwhile Germany, like other
countries. had experienced a sharp
I and general advance in the cost of
living. In Germany, as in other parts
of the world. given sum means much
less in supplying the necessaries of life
that II did 10 years ago.
1t is plain that Europes best is
still far short of American conditions

Some two hundred years ago there
lived in Norway a young man named
Walter Bogardus. When Walter was
a little boy he met with an injury to
his right eye, and the occulist who at
tended him decided to take it out.
Walter grew up to be a fine looking
fellow, the only personal blemish on
him being the absence of one eye. But
since he wore green patch over it the
manning did not show. He was a great
favorite with the young men and
young women, both Of whom sympa-
thized with him on account OF his mis-
fortune, and this was a great advan-
tage with the gentler sex. He knew
how to use the eye that remained to
him, the girls declaring that he could
throw more meaning into that one eye
than most men could express with two.
But like all persons who suffer from
a blemish Walter was very sensitive

A Binghamton, n. Y. Judge recently

In this particular case, If the hus-
band was a weakling and unable to
defend himself, and If the beating ser
iously injured him, his wife probably
deserved some punishment for her act.
Women should not be exempt from
punishment for serious offenses any
more than men. But that the punish

made more severe for the woman will
not be agreed to by everybody.

AS OTHERS SEE Us.

The tragic farce comedy which was
last week staged at the Coliseum in

wide attention. The foreign press,
which. as a general rule. pays but
little attention TO the politics on this

INGRATITUDE TOWARD THE
PRESS.

The three daily newspapers OF
Quincy, the Herald, Journal and Wing,
have presented a courteous note to
the directors OF the chamber of com
merce in that city asking that the
directors reconsider action that has
been taken barring newspaper report
ers from the meetings OF the board.
The Quincy Herald gives expression 20
some wholesome truths on the sub
jet
Without the assistance which the
newspapers have given to the cham
Der OF commerce, Quincy's CONNER
cial body would have a troubled ex-
istence. The newspapers have worked
long and diligently for the chamber
Of commerce. II is small wonder
that the papers looked upon the ex-
clusion OF their representatives from
the board of directors as a bit OF in
gratitude. The time has passed when
the newspaper man is to be considered
a snooper ready to print any bit of
gossip that he hears. No newspaper
man will 20 wrong II he is treated
with respect and given the fullest and
most detailed information. There
will be less publicity OF facts which
the board desires TO have kept secret,
when the newspaper men are allowed
in the sessions of the board and IN
derstsnd all the phases of the mat
ters under discussion. than there will
be when reporters receive partial in
formation from unauthentic sources.
The newspapers of Quincy are
friends Of the chamber OF commerce.
They do not believe, however. that
they can continue their enthusiastic
affection If the feeling is not recipro-
Gated. Even so cold and unsentimen-
tai an individual as a newspaper man
feels the pangs OF unrequited love"

THE TRAINED MOTHER"

Here's a new profession and a new
school, the profession of trained
motherhood" and a school to do the
training. New York has the first
and only one. What do they teach !?
The first year the pupils learn to
take scientific care OF very little
babies, both well and sick, and to
make their tiny garments. They also
learn story telling. Think OF that.
They become familiar with games
and other simple amusements.
The second year they take UP by
giene with special reference 70 the
kindergarten age, child study, the
work OF the trained nurse. the prin-
ciples Of heredity and the routine Of
day nursery work.
The third year they get deeper into
the study of hygiene with eminent
physicians to lecture TO them, and
then adventure into the field of men
tai life from infancy to adolescence.
This is learning "mothercraft." "
Possibly IL will be a good thing for
the fortunate children who get the
trained mothers, though there have
been some very good mothers in this
world who didn't have such train.

erty." 1t is obviously important that
the high cost Of living problem
be solved before the unrest
grows to greater proportions.
The earlier 1t is solved, the
better for the republic. Which party
will solve it, the republican party or
the democratic party? The republican
theory has always been that the heav-
Ter the tariff tax on the things eaten,

~ is that to reduce taxation is to re-

between the two policies-the policy
of protection or the policy of merely
enough tariff to raise sufficient revenue
to meet the expenses of the govern
ment
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
If the republicans are swept from
power Nov 5 because of their fall
ure to live up to tariff promises, it
will not be the first time that the
tariff operated to the same end for
the party of protection.
During the war the tariff had been
elevated to the skies but afterwards
! the democrats tried to have it reduc-
ed. BY 1880 the republicans had to
notice the demand. They promised
I downward revision but in 1882 pass
/ ed a bill making only slight reduc-
tions. The public got mad-just like

When the republicans got into
power again they boosted the tar.
if, which had been lowered by the
/ democrats. Prices went up, the rank

1892 again made Grover Clevelard
