This increase, amounting to over a
quarter of a million dollars, will
compare favorably with any other
county in the state in ratio to the
total amount of valuation. The in
crease has not been caused by any
one large enterprise during the year,
but has simply been gradual in
crease in small buildings, etc.
The increase of $239,48 is larger
than that of 1911 over 1910, though
some large industries were included
iasL year. 1t must be remembered,
however, that in the general taxable
values of the county no railroad prop
erty, street cars or any other public
corporations are included, these be-
ins returned direct to the state.
The figures were completed by Mr..
Dubberly yesterday and forwarded to
Atlanta. Glynn is one of the first
counties in the state to forward the
returns this year.

Washington Mnimizes Affair.

FL Paso, Tex, Aug. 3.-About fifty
shcts were exchanged between Uni
ted States soldiers and unidentified
meu from the Mexican side of the Rio
Grande last night between 9 and 10
o'clock in the rear of the Ell Paso
foundry, in East Ell Paso. No one
wa struck by the bullets. There
were no arrests.
Three shots were first fired from
the Mexican side, striking a horse
belonging to c. H. Cole.
After the first three Or more shots
were heard, the soldiers on guard
opened fire toward Mexico.
Mexican Shots Faster.
The bullets then came faster from
the Mexican side, one of them strik-
ing A. D. Martinez's> house. The
houses of Messrs Curtis, Williams
AMI Younkers, near the river, were
also struck, as was also the roof of
one of the El Paso foundry buildings.
After the persons on the Mexican side
of the river had fired thirty Or forty
times, they ceased and the soldiers
wenl toward the river to investigate.
At this moment posse composed of
Sheriff Penoton J. Edwards and dep
uties arrived and started a search OF
the thick brush in the old river bed
No trace of the men who fired from
tn Mexican side could be found. The
police returned and left further inz
vestigation to the soldiers.
1t was the opinion of some of the
residents of that section that the fir
ing had been done by Mexican reb-
els to draw the attention of the SOL
diers so that quantity of ammuni-
ton could be smuggled across the
river at another point. A careful
investigation is being made by the
officers in command of the two bat
taliCns of infantry stationed at the
foundry and Washington park, and a
report will be made to Col. E. q. Stee-
vec at Fort Steever.
Mr.. Cole, whose residence was
struck three times, said that his
daughter, who very i'll, was in the
house, and the bullets striking the
structure frightened her into a state
of nervous prostration.

JUDGED historians.
History will have to state that dur
house, as well as when running for
the third term, Mr. Roosevelt was in
frequent conference with George w.
Perkins, who might be accurately de-
scribed as the official messenger of
Wall street. History must show that
Perkins was the chief aide and CO.
schemer of J. p. Morgan while the
latter was in the years between 1905
and 1911 throttling business in every
direction. 1t was Perkins who, as
Morgan's business partner, showed
Morgan how to dominate the boards of
directors of all the great railroads,
banks and trust companies, express,
telegraph and telephone companies
steamship lines, insurance companies
and all the great industrial trusts, to
/ the end that Morgan now has a
[ stTangle hold on a corporate wealth
/ Of over $4,000 100000, an amount
/ equal to one-third of the total wealth
of the nation.
THE HARVESTER TRUST SCANDAL.
/ Mr.. ROosevelt's biography will also
relate that while he was president,
Burdette d. Townsend, one of his as
sistant attorney generals, investigated
the harvester trust, reported that it
was a trust of the most vicious char
aCter that it was holding UP the farm
ers, that all the plans for its Organiza-
ton and manipulation had been con-
Ceived and executed by Roosevelt's
friend, George w. Perkins, and that
Mr.. Roosevelt's answer to the recon-
mendation of the investigator to pros,
ecute the trust was an order TO his
attorney general not to start suit I'M
til he gave the word, which word was
never given, Mr.. Perkins thus being
saved from possible penitentiary sen
tence and the trust from dissolution
Not one out of a hundred persons
knows of these facts, and it is impossi.

ject like this in a short time. But

all. And perhaps even more.

UNDER SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS TO
CUBA.

Americans whose property has been
in peril for many months in Mexico
and whose interests there have suffer
ed grievously because of successive
rebellions and prolonged disorder and
unrest will object to the apparent read
mess Of the federal administration TO

They will demand reasons for making
fish Of one neighbor of the United
States and flesh Of the other
That reason is not far to seek. II
is found in the fact that this country
IS under special obligations TO pre-
vent any breaking down Of law and or

independent state on that island, and

drifted in Mexico. This is true regard.

II must be remembered, also, that
TO enforce peace and respect for law

TO be paid for like gains in Mexico
To interfere in Mexico would entail

ed not only in again meeting the

sonality, but also in supporting him al
the election next Monday. June 3.
Justice George A Cooke should be re.
elected and Rock Island county should
do its share toward making his major.
ity most emphatic In the first place
he should be elected because he has
made a fearless, upright and able
judge. Although he went on the bench
without previous judicial experience

so valuable a member that. il is said,
all OF his colleagues, regardless OF pol
tics, are DESTROYS OF seeing him re.

In the second place. he should be

AVAUNT THE ALLEYS

There is move on in St. Joseph,
Mo, TO close up all the alleys in the
city by dedicating and apportioning
half Of the alley to the residence prop
erty on either side of the block. This
is not = bad move. The alleys of al
most any city in America are an I'M
necessary loss OF ground and are
places OF accommodating filth; the hot
bed Of disease and contagion. Alleys
may be necessary in the business por-
lions OF the city where goods are sup
posed to be unloaded at the rear and
sold 10 customers who carry them
out through the front doors, but
they are really not a necessity any
other place. The great city Of New
York has no alleys and has never
80 far discovered any use for them.
New additions 70 some cities that
are now being laid out have no
alleys, and as a consequence those
additions are more sanitary. Alleys
are nearly always neglected and fire..
Quently are used only as a dumping
place for all kinds OF filth. In these
days when the streets are paved and
the alleys are not, many already have
drives from the street TO the coal eel
lar. the carriage house and the auto.
mobile garage.
All dwellings that have not, shoult
lay out these drives and the alleys, il

movement, should be entirely dispensed

WHERE TAFT FAILED.

When President Taft entered upon
the duties OF the presidency, he was
one of the best liked men in the land.
He was not the choice Of his party,
but was forced upon the convention
by his predecessor, who told the party
it must take Taft or me-" The senti-
ment among republicans against a
third term was stronger then than
now and Taft was taken to escape
me"
Nevertheless the people had much
admiration for Taft and it looked as
If he would usher in that era of peace
and good will that characterized the
administration OF Monroe.
That the president is big hearted
and broad minded has often been dem
onstrated. Unlike the man he sue
ceeded he has had no quarrel with con-
gress or individuals. Where he could
not find a suitable republican, he has
appointed democrats TO Office He even
went out of his way to honor a dis
tinguished jurist by making Associate
Justice White, chief justice of the SUI
preme court, though White is a demo
Crat and served in the confederate
army. He is also a Catholic. The
president was informed the appoint
ment would injure him but he replied
that White deserved the distinction.
The president has done many equal
: ly generous acts. He is also thorough
~, reliably honest, well meaning and
patriotic. That he has been a good
president no fair minded person dis.
putes.
But he failed woefully in other direc.
tons. His greatest mistake was his

an American congress. He added 10
his mistakes by openly approving Al
drich and Cannon, and permitting Bal

Of commentator.
These are the chief complaints
against the president and they have
told heavily against him.
He couid not see that a change had
come upon the people and that they
demanded a new deal. He accepted
the narrow vision OF his brother, who
has been the real boss of the admins
tration. The trusts and corporations
and men Of great fortunes had beer

knew that Cannon. Aldrich, Hale, Bur
