in learning how to run his elevator.
The second day he is so delighted
with his position that he makes every

The third day he gets his uniform

telling the passengers to step lively.
The fourth day he learns how to adj

ADVISES CITY TO
keep RIVER FRONT

Thomas Wilkinson of Burlington,
president of the Upper Mississippi I'm
provement association, was in the city
today. AS the guest of Mayor H. NJ.
Schriver he lunched at the Rock Is
land club where he made a short in
formal talk on the Importance of de-
veloping river terminals along the Mis-
sissippi in view of the approaching
completion of the Panama canal. All
the cities along the stream, he said,
should get hold of all the river front
they can and should provide facili-
ties for handling barges and steamers
of all descriptions. The six-foot chan
mel is soon to be realized he believes
and towns should be on the alert to
make use of the field this will open in
the way of river traffic. He advised
the cities to watch the railroads
which, he claimed, are gobbling up all
the available levee space and river
fronts in an effort to block success
full attempts at river traffic on a scale
large enough to make competition for
roads.
He eXhorted the citizens of Rock Is
land to back up and stand behind any
efforts made by the city commission to
retain possession of and increase the
amount of the city's river front.

there will be no way of ascertaining
about this unless the names are pub

In this connection it may be said
that the purpose of The Argus in de-
termining to publish the list does not
involve any desire TO catch anyone
or to intimidate anyone. The Argus.
as it has said before, is moved by no
other purpose than to serve its mis-
sion as a purveyor of public informa-
ton. The petitions and all that per-
tains TO them constitute public infor.
nation under any circumstances.

was inimical to their interests in the
recent legislative fight for the enact

In replying to the demand for Sup
