COOKE IS COMING
HERE TOMORROW

Supreme Court Justice George a.
Cooke Of Aledo will arrive in Rock
Island tomorrow morning for a short
visit He will not be attended bv any
little band of touters from some other
county TO loot or to vouch for him
or tell the people of Rock Island
county how to vote. Such a perform
ance will not be necessary. George
Cooke will come in the same unosten-
tauous manner that has characterized
his comings and goings in Rock Island,
rot only since he was elected to the
high office he holds, but since he was
boy. To George Cooke, Rock Island
has always seemed like home. The
spirit OF neighborliness, born of the
long association of the two counties
OF Rock Island and Mercer. bound as
they are peculiarly by a community of
interests, has always made Cooke feel
that he is among friends wherever he
goes in Rock Island county. He, there
fore, needs no introduction and the ex-
ercise of no pressure, political or other
wise, TO win him support.
His attractive personality, his strong
character, his never-failing good ma,
ture, all have contributed to the form
ing of those ties of friendship which
regard no party lines and can not be
/ torn by any pretense or claim. Rock
Island county thus shares with Mercer
county the pride of having so rare an
/ honor as has come to George Cooke
. bestowed upon one who has risen VI
/ among them from a poor boy with eX
/ ceedingly limited opportunities, and
with whose life all along the way, al
are familiar.
Justice Cooke will be anxious to SEE
as many of the citizens of Rock Island
as he can in the brief time allotted t.
him here. but he cannot go every
where and be everywhere, and cam
paigning with him as in all else that hi
does, is a busy task.

the wireless operator on his ship,
who easily could have ascertained the
name of the vessel in distress and
reached it in time to avert loss of
life" said Senator Smith, places a
tremendous responsibility upon this Of
ficer from which it will be difficult for
him 10 escape"
CONDUCT CONTRASTED.
Contrast, if you will, the conduct
of the captain of the Carpathia in
this emergency and imagine what
must be the consolation of that
thoughtful and sympathetic mariner,
who rescued the shipwrecked and left
the people of the world his debtor as
his ship sailed for distant seas a few
days ago. By his utter self-efface-
ment and his own Indifference to
peril by his promptness and his
knightly sympathy, he rendered a
great service to humanity. He should
be made TO realize the debt of graft
tude this nation owes to him, while

so often been familiar with his I'M

oning. Obsolete and antiquated

LANES DEFINED.
Il Senator Smith recommended that
lanes of travel should be more care
fully defined, strength of ships bows
increased, life-saving equipment bet
tered and discipline and practice
made an eXactiOa. He said buoys
should be carried to mark tempo

moralized and decadent.

explicit directions that all official
messages should be Immediately
sent through other ships, and mes
sages of passengers should be given
preference. According to Binns, the
apparatus on the Californian was prac-
ideally new and easily tuned to carry
every detail of that calamity TO the
coast stations at Cape Sable and Cape
Race, and should have done so.
HOLD BACK NEWS.
The course taken was singularly
in accord with the reticence of the
officials Of the White Star company
who knew at 2:3O Monday morning, -
said the senator, what was suppos.
ed to have occurred and yet, at 1851
Monday evening a message from their
office. officially signed containing the
positive assurance of the safety of the
passengers was sent to a half-crazed
father at Huntington, w. Va, nearly

of the sea, and, whether in the look
out, on the deck or at the wheel,
whether able or common seamen they
should be better paid for their labor
and more highly honored in their
calling; their rights must be respect
ed and their work carefully per-
formed; harsh and severe restraining
statutes must be repealed, and new
dignity given this important field OF
labor"
IMsAY BARELY MENTIONED.
Just before delivering his speech,
Senator Smith submitted the COM
mittees report. No particular person
is named as being responsible, though
attention is called to the fact that the
day Of the disaster three distinct
warnings were sent Captain Smith,
that speed was not relaxed, nor the
lookout increased. J. Bruce Ismay
is not held responsible for the ship s
high speed. In fact he is scarcely
mentioned in the report.
The committee reached the conclu-
sion that the steamer Californian was
nearer than Is miles reported by its
captain and that its officers and crew
saw the Titanic distress signals and
failed TO respond in accordance with
the dictates of humanity, information
a! usage and requirements of law"
COULD HAVE SAVED ALL.
The committees opinion such con-
duct is most reprehensible and places
upon the commander of the Califor-
nian a grave responsibility. The COM
mittee concludes the Californian
might have saved all the lost passen
I gers and crew.
The committee recommends that

Tributes TO HEROES.
Tributes 10 the valor of Phillips
and Bride, the wireless operators on
the Titanic, were paid by Senator
Smith. He said that the final exit
of the Phillips boy was mot so swift
as TO prevent him from pausing long
enough to pass a cup OF water TO a
fainting woman" The senator
showed that had not the uDderpaid
wireless operator on the Carpathia
prepared for bed with his receiver
still on his head the Titanic's dis
tress signals never would have been
received by the rescue ship.
When the world weeps together
over a common loss" said Senator
Smith, all nations should take steps
wisely 70 regulate wireless telegraphy
and see that operators are fairly
paid" He condemned the reign of
silence" concerning the details of the
disaster. In Condemning the failure
of the Californian TO learn all about
the disaster before the Titanic sank,
and go to its rescue, Senator Smith
said:

within easy reach of this ship for
