DAVENPORT TO LOSE
RAILROAD OFFICES

While no official announcement has
yet been received. it is believed that
the general Offices of the Rock Island
road at Davenport will be removed
TO Des Moines April /. or in about
two weeks. II is expected that the
official announcement of the move
will be made in a few days.

the test. No thoughtful, patriotic,
American need be afraid. AS the re-
publican party was able to outstand
Grant, will it be able to outstand
Roosevelt? 1t is preposterous to think
that he can be returned to power. He
could not hope for more than a divided
party If he won the nomination; but
he cannot by any possibility win it.
That he will bolt the nomination OF
Taft would be only in line with his an
tecedents of rule or ruin. 1t is not a
wild surmise to say that on the issues
he has made his own and the browning

The government is not a failure,
self-confessed or otherwise. Ths peo-
pie are not ripe for revolution. The
republican party is not debauched to
the suicidal point. Now, as ever, re-

There is method even in the whim-
sicality of Theodore Roosevelt. Hap
hazard though he seem, and indeed
that he is, there underlies his unex-
pectedness a kind OF system. This
system has its GIBBS and flows, like the
tides of ocean, its exits and its en-
frances. like player upon the stage.
Yet it spring from a certain philos-
ophy and embraces a definite art and
aim. Its latest phase may be epitom-
lied in the language of Hamlet

spite

Yankee Gibbon comes to treat of the
decline and fall Of the great republic,

variously as the Rough Rider, as Ted

and the subtlest ingenuity TO cast up
the score and balance the account of
a character so problematic and a sue
cession OF acts and words so contra

Historians of the class OF Robertson
and Hume, of Bancroft and Motley,
could never do it. Writers of histori-
cal romance like Macauley, Scott and
Dumas perhaps would overdo it. The
compound OF sense and nonsense, OF
manly daring and boyish bravado, Of
self-confidence bordering on the alb

preaching the forbidden, of prescience
and resources very like to statesman

Three men OF the health department
were put to work yesterday afternoon
by Commissioner Archie Hart to clear
the cutters of the streets Of snow and
ice so that the water would have a
free and open course to catch basi !.
That Is the surface reason for the
clearing Of the cutters. Primarily.
the work Is being done so that public
health will be preserved. Commission
er Hart says that unless the water is
turned into channels through which 1t
can escape from the streets, II will

ment taking a hand in the work. The
answer was in the negative. Commits
sioner Reynolds said he had no money
in the sewer department and that he
could not object to any work which
will be of benefit to the city.
DOING GOOD WORK.
The three men who were put to
work yesterday. though not as large a
force as desired, are doing good work.
They have begun to clear the business
section. II is slow work because of
the fact that ice blockades the way
along most curb lines. A snow pillow
was tried but found valueless in doing
any work. Wherever conditions are
extreme, the workmen will be placed.

Of these provisions is specified as

"On the 4th of March next l shall

stitute my first term. The wise Gus
tom which limits the president to

They are unqualified. But now he

as an afterthought and is transpar-
emily a subterfuge:

81 could not have said less at the
time, nor could have said more. OF
course, I could not then know whether
or not there would be a demand for
me to accept a nomination at some fu-
ture time. And, believing as | do, that
the selection of candidates for the
presidency rests entirely with the peo-
pie, I could not say that at no time in
my life would l accept another nomina-
ton.

man that the precedent which for

convention system of electing dele,

Be Game.

There are years when even farming,
which is as dependable an occupation as
we can find, does not give a fair return
for labor This past year, large sec
tions have been stricken with drought.
A man who has seen his full Summer S
toll spent for practically no returns can
not be blamed for discouragement. 1t
takes sand to stick and energy to come
back and try again. We farmers need
to cultivate a little of that unconquer-
able spirit which was shown by q man
who. last month, went on the operating
table for a serious surgical operation.
He did not rally from the anesthetic,
and, after a consultation of wise physi-
clans, they all pronounced him dead.
His body was removed 70 the morgue
and left there for the night. At about2
o'clock in the morning the attendant in
the corridor looked through the glass
doors and was astonished to see a move
ment of the white clothes that draped
the dead mans form. Almost frightened
to death, he called the doctors. firemen
and police. They entered the death
chamber as the lately deceased slowly
arose and rubbed his eyes.
Gimme my pants, said he, Il want
to 60 to work"
That man came back. He was game.
Even the doctors could not kill him.
There is another year coming One
swallow doesn't make a Summer and
one drought need not spell disaster. Go
to it, brave men, the earth is yours and

The newspapers and medical journals

This great multi-millionaire was too
busy ito worry about the condition of
his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia
TO run from bad to worse until in the

His misfortune serves as a warning to
others.
Every one who suffers with dyspepsia
for few years will give everything be

Dyspepsia is commonly caused by an
abnormal state of the gastric juices. OF
by lack of tone in the walls of the
stomach. The result is that the stom-
