SUBLIME HEROIsM ON TITANIC.

y VERY hour adds 10 the magnitude OF the Titanic
A~ horror, and makes Il stand more clearly
as the greatest maritime tragedy in the history of
the world. It seemingly is established that tho
death roll Of the i-faod White liner aggregates
fully 1900.
Humanity admires heroism. II finds in the wreck
Of the Titanic ample scope for such admiration. The
men not only permitted the and children to
leave the doomed ship, but when all hope had passed
for the rescue Of those who had elected to remain
on board the ships band played Nearer, My God to
Thee and those who stood on the threshold bf
death joined in singing that grand old hymn They
still were singing it, to tho accompaniment Of the
heroic bandmen when the waters closed over the
ni-starred liner and they began with her the two
mile plunge to death.
No doubt that will be regarded, by the millions who
are horrihed by the great calamity the most he
roic feature OF greatest Of tragedies For tho
time being il overshslows the Investigations that are
impending on bo,h sides Of tho Atlantic relative 70 the
causes ok the disaster shows that horoism Is not
confined 10 any race nationality, class, but is a
worldwide attribute in time Of great emergency
President Taft's appeal head Of the American
Red Cross Society for aid for the viotime
of the foods in the Mississippi Valley unquestion-
ably will bring quick reply and generous response
from a sympathzing American public. The floods have
done damage amounting 20 many millions and caused
much human suffering which calls for quick relief.

selves last night at the semi-annual
gymfest held at the Clinton Y. NJ. c. A.

and put on various drills and exhibit
lions, and ended with games in the
gymnasium The Rock Island squad
entertained with some pyramid work
and individual work, and proved them
selves the equal of any team present.
Because OF poor train connections, the
Rock Island and Moline squads missed
out on the banquet which opened the
festivities, but the -1eavings" were
served them after the gym work, and
they found them very palatable. A
business meeting was held later in the
evening. and the invitation OF the No

gymfest there next fall was accepted.

brought here from Springfield in
1904 when the small arms plant was
inaugurated here. The government
at that time promised those who
came that in case they were thrown
out of work here they would be

and asked them to decide whether

Influence Should Be Brought to
Bear on Senators From
Illinois.
DAVENPORT is AWAKE
Iowa Members OF Senate Have Been
Asked to Work for an In
crease in Appropriation.

The closing Of the small arms
plant at Rock Island arsenal
means the cutting off of some
$260,000 a year in wages
earned in the three cities.
In view of this fact there is
cause for a manifestation of the
booster spirit proper.
It behooves the Rock Island
club, the Rock Island Business
Mems association, and in fact
all organizations and boosters
not only of this city but of Mo-
line as well, to get busy at once
and bring all possible influence
to bear on the senators from
Illinois and Iowa in an effort to
have the government appropri-
alton increased sufficiently to
keep the plant running, to the
end that the senate may make
up the deficiency which the
house has overlooked.
The Argus, for its part, to.
day wired its special CORE
spondent at Washington, Clyde
H. Tavenner, to use what eff.
forts he may be able to in sup
port of the project.
Employees of the small arms plant

that they will be thrown out of worl

Fun for Mosquitoes When
Auto Quits Work

The long distance operator of the
North Dakota Independent Telephone
company certainly had a strenuous
time getting county auditors in all
parts Of the state on the line for vari.
GUS newspaper officials during the lat.
ter part OF the week, and when Satur.
day evening came, and the election
was decided, she felt that she was en-.
titled to = well earned rest. That she
should have . rest was not doubted by
anyone in the least. But Sunday there
was some excitement that babe fair
for the time being OF equalling the
election time.
Assistant States Attorney F. E. Nc.
Curdy, Legislative Reference Librar-
ian Acker, Judge Murdoch j. McKen.
xie and w. H. Nelson, a prominent
farmer residing near Sterling decided
to motor to Sterling Sunday to look at
a piece Of land. They went in Mr..
McCurdy's auto. Everything went
fine until they passed the state peni.
Tertiary and then the automobile took
- AAsssAu ~ SAC R~4VCCO04ASS.
One Of the tires decided that it was
tired. In fact 1t was 50 fatigued that
1t refused to remain inflated any long
err. For about six miles the party
jOurneyed on . flat wheel. Then tho
carburettOr went on q strike. 1t real
ly had no grievance against Mr.. Nc
Curdy, but 1t evidently thought other
wise, for when 1t struck, it got all the
rest Of me unnamesb bic things that
constitute the inner workings OF a mo
tor to walk out in sympathy. The ma
chine under such conditions dec ,ded
to do some striking on it's own &C.
count, and quit work. The party was
stranded somewhere near Mckenzie.
The hour was becoming late, and
finally the four men decided to cast
about for q place to spend the even
ing. They directed to a nearby
hay loft, all Of the rooms in the hotel
being occupied. They clambered into
the hayloft, and we're met by a dele
cation of mosquitoes who babe them
welcome. A freight pounded through
headed for Bismarck, and If McCurdy
had not been alert and caught Acker
just In time, the latter would probably
have deserted the party and beat it
for the freight. There are not sup
posed to be more than eight hours in
a night, but on this occasion it seem.
ed to the four men in the hay NOW as
though morning would never come.
When 1t did they wandered about until
they located a man with an auto who
volunteered to bring them back to BIS.

There was great anxiety in the cap
ital city over the myst e.ious 6isap.
pearance of three august individuals.
Phones rang frequently and loud, but
no responses were forthcoming. Short
ly after dinner Messrs McCurdy, Acker
and Mckenzie, wearing a tantalizing,
irritating, aggravating coat OF sun
burn, wheeled into Bismarck, tired,
hungry, mosquito bitten, and awfully,
awfully glad to get back home.
