amazed that the business men whose
wares have been damaged by dust and
dirt have not gone to the commission
against permitting the TriCity Rail-
way company to cease the sprinkling
operations during all these weeks that
have passed. But while damage to
the merchants is one consideration
ii Is Incompatible with the damage to
public health.
There is indeed need Of the govern
ing force and the cleansing effect in
Rock Islands street and alleys. There
is need of it before 1t is too late, If
serious damage has not already been
done, for 1t is destructive, health de-
stroying and death-dealing. The COM
mission need not ask for the peoples
consent to dispose of a subject of such
vital importance. 1t does not require
referendum vote to purchase a mod
ern fusher or to adopt a system of
constant sweeping and compel con-
slant sprinkling, especially In the
business section. The commission has
the power to provide for all emer-
gencies, and this is dire emergency.
And after the governing force and
the cleansing effect is applied to puri-
fed water and pulled air, then what?
Then let it be applied to the moral
situation. There, too is occasion, and
serious occasion, for the governing
force and cleansing effect. The wip.
ing out of the black belt and the red
light districts in Rock Island will pro-
duce a wholesome condition which
with pure water and pure air will
make Rock Island a city worth living
in.
There is need of the governing force
and the cleansing effect in all of these
particulars, before the people will be
inclined TO place the stamp of their
o. K. on the commission form of mu-
nicipal government as applied to
Rock Island.

AMERICA LEADS IN COAL

Since 1899, when the United States
supplanted Great Britain, this coun-
try has held first place among the coal
producing countries Of the world. In
1911 the total worlds production Of
coal amounted to approximately 1,300,-
900, 900 short tons, Of which the United
States contributed 1921, 16S tons, or
3S1 per cent. In the IL years from
1899, when the country first surpassed
Great Britain, to 1911 the production
Of the United States has increased near
ly 100 per cent, while Great Britain
has increased its output about % per
scent, from 246,500,155 short tons to
804,51S,927 tons. The United States
In 1911 produced over so per cent
more than Great Britain. Germany's
production of coal and ignite in 1899
was 149,719,766 short tons; in 1911 1t
was 25s,223,763 tons. an increase of
over 70 per cent. The combined pro-
duction OF Great Britain and Germany
in 1911 was 562,742,69O short tons,
which exceeded the output of the
United States by only 66,521,522 tons,
or 11.5 per cent.
The three countries, United States,
Great Britain and Germany produce
more than so per cent Of the world s
total supply Of coal.

MANY WILSON'S IN HALL OF

While there have been red headed
Wilson's, black haired Wilson's, brown
haired Wilson and Wilson's with very
little hair on their heads in the United
States ever since the Englishmen,
Irishmen and Scotchmen began to
supplsnt the copper colored savages,
and they have filed all kinds of Of
fees, to the president-elect has been
reserved the distinction OF having
been the first OF the clan to become
a candidate for the presidency.
Henry Wilson of Massachusetts,
climbed up as high as the vice presi-
dency in 1872, and had he lived he
might have been the successful dark
horse at the republican national con-
vention in 1876, when Hayes won the
prize the majority of the party would
have preferred to see go to James G..
Blaine.
Henry Wilson was not a real Will
son. His right name was jeremiah
Goliath. He was adopted by kind
hearted man named Wilson and was
thus given the opportunity of chang
ing his label.
Henry was no ordinary man, how
ever. He learned the trade OF shoe
making, but soon became an active
politician, and when % years old was
a member OF the legislature of the
Bay state. He afterwards owned a
newspaper and was a brigadier gener
al in the state militia. From 1855 to
1873 he was a member Of the United
States senate.
A Wilson who was big enough fol
presidential material was James VIII
son, who was born In Scotland and
came to this country long before the
revolutionary war and was thus eligi
BILE to the chief magistracy under oul
| constitution. He was a signer OF tht
declaration OF independence, a colone
in the continental army; helped franz
the constitution OF the United State,
and was father Of the plan electinI
the president and vice president b.
eleotors Washington appointed hin
one OF the first justices OF the suprem,
court. Justice Wilson wrote man,
very able works on jurisprudence an,
political topics
Few viii deny that William L. Wi
son Of West Virginia might, unde
favorable circumstances, develop int
promising presidential possibilit!
Like the next president, he was at on
time a college professor and also
lawyer.

Everyone may not learn to set a
table artistically, but there are few
who cannot learn to set 1t much bet
ter than they do. 1t is called art by
some and as such should be recog-
nized by everyone.
It is not so much what Is put on
the table in the form of dishes, linen
and service, as how It is done. I'm
usual, faddish setting Of the table
should be avoided for the everyday
or holiday meal unless it would be
for such days as Halloween.
The setting of the table usually falls
to the daughter Of the house, if there
is one; If not, the mother does it her
self or directs how it should be done
If there is helper In the home. There
is no place in the entire home which
can show the individual artistic touch
Of mother or daughter as the table.
and there are some absolutely fixed
rules for the placing Of most Of the
service.
In the first place, linens should be

spotless and white and as fine as your
style Of living will warrant the sim
pier ones for everyday use and the
finer ones for special occasion.
They may be all this, but If not
perfectly washed, the corners of cloth
folded perfectly even, the very founda-
ton Of the table setting will be q
failure.
Table decorations should not be too
elaborate and always in keeping with
the character of the day celebrated or
the desired color scheme used. Thanks
giving day colors are usually yellow
to correspond with the pumpkins and
chrysanthemum, which is the usual
flower Of the day.
The soup plate is on a service plate,
which is an eight or 10inch plate.
The soup spoon is placed to the
right Of the knife, and teaspoon and
the soup ladle to the rightef the soup
spoon. Using left hand for removing

the ladle in right hand and serve soup,
which may be passed to other members
Of the family at table.
The water glass or goblet should al
ways be placed at end Of knife blade.
The bread and butter plate is on the
left end Of fork. The silver is always
used from the outside toward the
plate, either from right or left. Nap
kins should always be placed on left
side of fork

BoQUEr FOR TAvENNER.

LaFollett's Magazine, edited by
United States Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette, republican, pays fine tri-
butte to Clyde H. Tavenner, congress
man-elect from this district The edi-
torial is one of the principal ones in
the magazine and says:
clyde H. Tavenner goes to con-
gress from the Fourteenth Illinois dis
trict. Tavenner is a talented young
man and a progressive democrat. AS
q newspaper correspondent at the ma
t.onal capital, he earned a reputation
for integrity, industry and insight
Into the problems OF government.
Given the 1enr Of two progressive
candidates - tppresent them. the vot-
ers selected for Tavenner. We believe
this confidence in Tavenner is not mis-
placed. His past performances give
assurance of a creditable record in the
house against privilege in all forms,
against machine domination, and for
progressive principles"

THE GOVERNING FORCES AND
THE CLEANSING EFFECT.

If Rock Island is to have the full
benefit Of the cleansing effect, 1t must
have the advantage OF the governing
force. 1t has been demonstrated re-
governing on the part Of those entrust-
ed by the people with the responsible
ity Of governing. Shiftlessness and in
difference and a disposition to shirk
where matters of exceptional i'm
portance command action lead in but
one direction, and that is to ruin. No
task can be accomplished by ignoring
it or running away from it. The man
who is paid a good salary for his ser
vices and gives bond for the faithful
performance Of his duty, betrays his
trust when he neglects to meet re-
sponsibilities as they come up to him
and fails to act honestly and accord
ing to the best that is in him.
The waterworks while it represents
valuation in dollars and cents
amounting to many thousands OF the
peoples money, is not the only part
of the municipal machinery that needs
serious and constant attention. All
that pertains to the peoples welfare,
whether in property or regulation; in
condition or enforcement is worthy
the thought and action of the public
officials.
1t has been contended, and rightly
too, that next to pure air, pure water
is Of first importance to the people of
a community. Rock Island has spent
thousands of dollars to insure pure
water. Present indications are that
the commission has been brought to a
realizing sense Of its responsibility in
dealing with the water supply. The
city has provided the cleansing effect
in the water supply. All that is nee.
essary is to have the method scientif.
cally and completely applied.
Pure air as has been said, Is the
first requisite to public health and
| happiness. II is Gods boon. But
contaminated, it remains for man to

the extent OF public improvement tina
