THOUSAND CLUB.
(Tune: Marching Through Georgia. -.
By Carlton G. Taylor.
Bring the good old bugle, boys,
Well sing another song;
How the knockers vanquished
And the right has conquered wrong.
Sing it as you ought to sing it,
Fifty thousand strong,
While we are booming Rock Island.
CHORUS:
Hurrah! Hurrah, Twill be jubilee
will see!
Join the Boosters chorus
Till the Knockers all shall fee,
While we are booming Rock Island.
Help the old town hustle, boys,
It's tarried long enough,
Get your fighting spirit up
And show them it's no bluff.
= Land some solar plexus blows,
\ And good ones-that's the stuff,
4 While We are booming Rock Island.

, Make it fifty thousand, boys,
AS sure as you're alive;
Never saw a better chance,
So buckle in and strive.
When the knocker pipes his lay,
Just chase him to the hive,
While We are booming Rock Island
CHORUS:
Bring the good old bugle, boys,
'Tis sure a different song.
All the past is buried
And the future stretches long.
Heart and hand together, then,
And boost it good and strong,
For we're in love with Rock Island

THE REPUBLICAN TICK EFT

The Republican tickets both City
and Ward which were put up at the
Caucuses Monday night are filled with
men for office who are unquestionably
well qualified for the positions and
who should be supported heartily al
the polls. The denomination of Mayor
Fales by reclamation was deserved
compliment TO his administration for
the past year. In Maurice A. Reed,
for City Clerk, there is no one in the
city who is better qualified to take up
the work which has been so efficiently
done by Mr.. Eddy for the past four
years, and he should be elected by a
large majority.
All the others from Treasurer, Super
visors in the Wards down to Ward
Constables should win out easily and
give the city one Of the biggest boosts
the coming year ever known in its
history.

present system Of unjust, inequitable
and ubiquitous laws might remain in
force, To the detriment Of the great
masses Of the laboring classes and
farmers, and those Of small properties,
who are unable TO speak and speak for
and act for them selves.

Nearly One Thousand More
Lodgers This Period
Than a Year Ago.

May be you think the cold doesn't

Nineteen hundred and eleven records
at the police station show an increase
of nearly 1000 night dodgers over the
year 1910, and at the present rate the
applications are coming in for nights
rest now, 1912, records will smash all
others.
Last night the hobo room was nearly
full IA having spent the night at the
station. Since the ffrst of the year a
record of SO has been established with
an average of 10 applicants a night.
The records at the police station
show that in 1910 1.974 dodgers were
taken care of and in 1911 the total ran
up as high as 2,90s.
The arrests in 1911 fell short of the
year 1910, being tabulated as follows:
Arrests in 1910. .962

MARSHALL SAID,

Il feel like President Lincoln
must have felt when he discovered
in a meeting with his cabinet one
day that the entire cabinet oppos-
ed him on a matter pertaining to
the prosecution of the civil war.
The opposition was so pronounced
the president was compelled to
.orego putting into effect one of his
ideas. At that time he said:
:" 1t seems, gentlemen, that
haven't very much influence with
this administration.
THAT is the way l feel-as If

Friends of the Governor will not
be at, all pleased with the outcome
of the fight, but they must grin
and bear it. The brewery crowd
