ALL IN READINESS FOR
 GENERAL ELECTION

readiness for the general election Monday, and those who have kept up with the campaign pre- dict the largest vote ever cast in the history of the state.
 Congressman Robinson, Dem ocratic nominee for Governor. closed his campaign here Friday night with rousing speech in the county court house park, and Senator Davis will be the princi- pal speaker at final rally to- night.
 The following call was issued today from headquarters:
 To the Democrats of Arkan. sas:
 Remember the general cleo tion to be held on Monday, Sept. 9. To vote and thereby participate in the selection of our offices of government is not only the privi- lege but the solemn and patriotic duty of every citizen.
 Tn view of the approaching national election fraught with tremendous interests of h e greatest importance, every Dem ocrat should respond to the call of duty and cast his vote to the best interest of the state and na> tion.
 Every qualified elector should make some sacrifice, if neces- sary, in order to meet the re- responsibilities which an election imposes upon free people whose right to participate in the affairs of government were bought by our forefathers at the cost of property and of life.
 Fellow Democrats, what will you do, prove yourself worthy of your high privilege and sacred duty by exercising the right to vote, or will you be indifferent to the welfare of yourself and your own people by de liberately neglecting to go to the polls and vote, making it possible for selfish interests and design. ing men to dominate the affairs of this great commonwealth? We urge every Democrat to come up to the full measure of his duty, thereby enabling us to send a message of good cheer and overwhelming victory to the nation. We insist that you not only go to the polls and vote, but that you urge every Demo. crat to go and do likewise
 "The self.style1 and so-called Progressives are reporting to the Eastern press that thousands of disappointed and disgruntled Democrats (even in Arkansas) will sever the the ties that hith erto have bound them to the great Democratic party and cast their votes for Roosevelt and Johnson. By our acts next Monday, let us demonstrate that the clouds of dust they thought due to the followers of Bull Moose were in fact created by marching hosts of triumphant Democracy. Yours for great and decisive victory,
 State Democratic Central Com.
 A. J. Wallis, Chairman. w. G. Hutton, SecSetary.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-02-17
BY j. - c. OSBORN.

met this morning gentleman
from Rock Island, who visits our town
occasionally in business way, who
called my attention to letter in Sat
urday's edition of The Argus signed Al
len J. Miller, condemning severely
present methods of handling immoral
conditions in the city, and suggesting
a remedy. My friend urged me to pre-
sent my views for publication.
There is no need to go over the sub
ject again. Mr.. Miller's letter will not
soon be forgotten by all who read it.
And it is all true, not one whit too
strongly put. The condemnation, the
shame, the damnation of it all rests
upon our so-called Christian civiliza-
ton, of which you and !, gentle reader,
are part. | may have something
more to say some other time.
| But | wish just here to speak of the
attitude of the church and of Christian
people on this subject. Mr.. Miller
was guarded in his language, but we
shall be told, if We press the agitation,
that we Christian people are no better
than others, and not so good, that the
saloonkeeper, the ward politician, the
professional gambler will extend the
helping hand, will feed the starving
/ babies, replenish the empty coal bin
and shelter the homeless outcast
whom we pass by unnoticed. They
will tell us that no small share of the
wealth we lavish upon our splendid
churches, and our luxurious home, is
Trung from the scanty earnings Of
half-paid toll or is the price OF WON
ans virtue, or is the rent of a saloon
a gilded station on the road to hell, OF
Of a brotheI, the last stopping place
this side of the terminus.
And all this, too. is true. l shall not
haggle over the percent of the reven
ues of Christian people that is, or may
be, derived from unholy sources. If i
was only 81 1t would still be ten times
yes, ten thousand times too large. "B'
not conformed to the world" "AvoiC
all appearances of evil" are the Mas
ter's words. l may have occasion il
the near future, to express my convic
tons of the responsibility of the
church and of the Christian people fol
the existing demoralized social condi
ton. And l want to say, just here,
that / believe in the church, the visible
organized body of Christ, the custo
