DECADE IN ROCK ISLAND.

With this issue The Argus presents
its 60'h Anniversary Achievement num-
Ter While The Argus takes this &C.
casion to commemorate the passing
some time since of an important mile
stone IN its own career, its aim is not
so much TO deal with the great past
as with the present. 1t has found sat
isfaction in devoting the pages of this
special number to the community of
which il is a part, rather than to in
dulge in extended reference to itself.
It has seized the opportunity to per-
NIT the event in the most remarkable
10-year period in Rock Islands history
to pass in review, with the result that
there is presented an illustrated and
descriptive panorama OF Rock Island
as it Is, industrially, commercially and
financially, a city Of honest value
where are all the environs and at
fractions and inducements for mans
Contentment and prosperity.
This is Rock Island as II is today.
Who is there with pride in his heart
in the city wherein is his abode who
can gaze upon the picture without
pride and satisfaction? Here in Rock
Island is all that could be desired to
make an ideal city, a city of industry,
of mercantile success, of enjoyment,
Of churches, schools, parks and homes.
Tlere has been no exaggeration in pre-
senting this supplemental statement to
What was contained in history and mar
ration in The Argus 50th Anniversary
edition OF 10 years ago
The aim has been to tell the story Of
Rock Island just as 1t is. There are
perhaps few people who realize the
strides that have been made here in
the first decade OF the new century,
BIT It seems TO have been Rock Is
lands way always from the beginning
to advance gradually and steadily, out
surely. II has ever kept abreast OF
the times. So it is today.
There must be a future for a city
OF Rock Islands solid growth. There
IA a future II there is any reason
why Rock Island is not today all that
It should be, that reason may be found
in the disposition OF the people. And
Il there Is a fault it is not such fault
that Cannot be remedied. Endowed with
wonderful advantages for commercial
and industrial progress. in ideal geo
graphical situation reached by river
and rail. to say nothing OF the charms
that nature has bestowed with a lavish
hand. its position is strategic in the
midwest for the building Of a great
city. It's mercantile pursu'ss are in
keeping with those Of cities many
times the size and with the manifesto
ton Of the enterprise ana pluck that
has ever been notable, the citizens
nay well reason upon the advantages
they possess right at this time and
look into the future with confident an,
ticipation.

self in this connection only to express
jts gratitude TO those who have con
/ tributed 20 the success Of the Goth An

DOLLAR DIPLOMACY AND CHI.
MAS LOANS


MAS LOANS.
The United States government so
far has failed to recognize the in
dependence Of China.
AS the greatest republic In the
world 1t would seem fitting and prop
er that this nation should have been
quick to welcome the republic of China
ard give it the prestige of moral sup
port
With Mr.. Bryan at the head of the
department of state recognition would
have followed quickly the settling up
CT the new government. But with
Pbilander c. Knor in the department.
OF state, there is hating and delay.
Dollar diplomacy is the guidance of
Knox.
Immediately upon the setting up of
a provisional government, the powers
insisted that China should have a
loan. China's answer was that she
needed S5O,OO0OOO but the powers re-
torted that she needed 100000, 900.
China retorted that that amount was
excessive and the powers replied that
they knew better. China politely in
sisted that she would borrow $50,
900 and no more and the powers told
her she would borrow more.
AS the powers planned in the be
ginning the United States was shut
out OF participation in the loan. On
Knox's insistence, possibly under
threat TO recognize the independence
Of China, United States bankers were
admitted to participate IN the loan.
Then an unexpected thing happened
A London broker, Crisp. got up a
$50,000,000 loan in private and China
reached eagerly for it. The British
foreign Office stepped in at this juno.
ture and told Crisp he mustn't make
tie loan. But Crisp retorted that he
would and he did and the Chinese am.
tassador in London says the loan is
still good.
This is the present status of the
loan matter. The United States gov
errment has deferred recognition long
overdue, it appears, until its money

In planning menus. recipes for
Thanksgiving. or any day, do not plan
too much; while one of the chief aims
of the art of cooking is variety, it
should not all center around, or in,
one meal.
Dishes should not be simply excel
lent without regard to the contrast
they bear to one another, but variety
is required, not only in the material,
but also in the style of dressing and
in the accompanying sauce annd gar
nishes.
Light and dark dishes should as far
as possible succeed each other. The
same sauce should not appear twice,
nor two creamed dishes on the same
menu. Several sorts of pastry should
be avoided, and when cold dishes form
part of the menu they should be inter-
spersed with care among the others.
Do not be ashamed to follow a recipe;
low a recipe, their bad luck days"
come, which really means inaccuracy
in the recipe or not following it.
Edible foods should only be used in
garnishing. A little bit of green or
touch Of color is good if one has some
sense of arrangement and form; a cir
Gle of parsley always around dish is
monotonous and shows very little ar
tistic sense Study the dish made and
give it just the necessary touch of
garnish whether 1t be of green, red or
yellow.

Newspapers and the Recent Campaign

an analysis of campaign work is be-
ing made.
1t was the publication day after day
of editorial arguments and quotations
from the campaign speeches of Wilson,
Bryan and Dunno that inspired the
people of Illinois with confidence in
the candidates who were elected.
The State Register congratulates it's
fellow democratic editors upon the
great and good work achieved by them
in the Illinois fight. The sending out
by these editors of hundreds of thous-
ands of copies of their newspapers day
after day and week after week made
possible the victorious educational
campaign.
1t was necessary to reach the peo-
pie. Through the newspapers was the
way to do it. 1t was persistent, untir-
ing preparation of their pledges in the
newspapers supported by editorial ar
guments, that won the day for democ-
racy.
The democratic editors of Illinois
made a great fight! Again we con-
graduate them, urging that their long
hours of toll day after day, and night
/ after night, campaigning with their
hundreds of thousands of readers in
the greatest educational campaign ever
made in this state, be not forgotten in
the distribution of posies of praise.
When one of the chief officers of the
democratic national committee was
asked as to the principal agencies in
the sweeping victory of Woodrow Viii
son, he replied:
THE chief credit for the sweeping
victory is due to the earnest and intel
ligent support of the press of the coun-
try. For the first time in a genera
| ton a majority of newspapers support
ed the democratic ticket. The day of
the political orator has not passed, and
never will pass, but every year the
daily and weekly line upon line of the
newspapers weighs more with the vot-
ers than the occasional speech"

1t is quite amusing to hear some Of
the boasts made by a certain class of
democratic compaigners who are now
strutting with an I-did-it-with-my-little-
Ratchet air. We listen with interest
and amusement to boasts of certain
of those claiming machine" com
mand who cooked their feet high upon
an Office desk, puffed cigar smoke with
volcanic. fury and footed hot air with
steam calliope vehemence.
To these let US give that honor due
in such measure as they championed
great fundamental principles which
won the democratic victory of Nov. 5
in Illinois. Let's all take our hats to
them and stand hat in hand, adoringly
and thankfully.
Let us not disturb the campaign hero
who wears the halo of smoke from
cigarets donated by the candidates.
We are inclined to the belief that
there is honor enough for all who par
ticipated in the great campaign. The
Organization" did nobly, the steering
committees served with distinction,
the machine" worked like a buzz-saw,
the campaign cigar manifested its GUS
tomary strength, the gum shoe whis-
perer contributed his share of amuse-
ment to the campaign, but the two
great dynamic forces which we be-
lieye contributed most to the victory
seem to have. been overlooked by the
distributors OF bouquets.
We refer to the candidates them
selves and to the democratic press Of
the statel
1t was the dissemination Of political
information by the democratic news

and most potential factor in the cam
paign. In every campaign, the news
