White House Lawn Devastated.
The neatly kept lawns of the white

President Wilson was seated in the

The senate was in session when the

For hours the office was in uproar.

Another panic occurred at the pen

L. -Clapp, president of the Elephant

reclamation service would have no mercy
on the Spectator, but h would have
to cut his land up into 160-acre tracts
or less and dispose of it, not being al
lowed to retain more than 100 acres
He said there had been some criticism
Of the reclamation service because the
gov >rnment projects had benefited
spec .uators and this is the reason that
1t is not to go on. He sail that the
board of directors of the Wa-er Users
association had decided to advertise the
lands and would ask the commercial
institutions to help in this new cam

MOVING PICTURE CENSORSHIP.

The mayor OF Denver proposes a
board of censors for moving picture
shows, the board to be composed of
two men and one woman. Immodest
scenes are TO be excluded, also brutal
ones, such as the killing OF animals
and representations of drunken men
are TO be forbidden.
This is about as far as the public
censors could go. Yet the main evil Of
the moving picture shows is its sub
ordination OF the instructive TO the
dramatic. Rather it is the free use
of cheap. false sentiment TO produce
dramatic effects and the giving over
of a whole evening to purely artificial
productions with reproduction on the
moving picture film as the essential
purpose. These have their attractions
for many. Indeed some make it a
point TO dodge the moving picture

SOCIALISM IN GERMANY

Socialism in Germany has under
gone a wonderful change in the last
10 years, as was shown at the recent
annual convention Of the social demo
cratic party at Jena. The radicals in
troduced a resolution in favor of a uni
versal strike for the purpose of ex-
torting franchise reforms from the
government, but it was defeated by a
majority of nearly two-thirds of the
official representatives OF the party.
The moderates declared that such
methods would only retard the prog.
ress of socialism and that the social
lists would be playing into the hands
CT their enemies if they attempted 10
introduce the methods of French syn
dicalism, such as the universal strike
into their program.
This conservatism was most uneX
peCted, but can probably be explained
by the fact that for several years past
the Germans have prospered and the
socialists are not as disconnected as
they formerly were. They are mo-
ready to take the bread and butter our
Cf their own NOUNS and those or theil
families by inaugurating a universal
strike.
The social-democratic party of Ger
many appears destined TO undergo {
still greater transformation in the fu
ture and we may expect it to rejec
a good many more of the visionar,
theories on which socialism was found
| ed. In fact. it seems destined to be
come a peoples party, working con
! servatively for the betterment of tn
working classes and for more demoC
racy IN the form of government.
When it reaches that stage it ma
/ accomplish some good. 1t would be
blessing for the world if all its sc
cialists would follow the example G
/ those OF Germany.

THE EXPECTED HAPPENS.

What was feared, what The Argus
repeatedly warned would prove the
inevitable consequence of permitting
an undesirable element of the colored
race to be harbored in Rock Island,
has happened-another tragedy in the
black belt district.
The murder of the Mexican laborer
whose body was found in an alley be-
tween Second and Third avenues and
Twenty-second and Twenty-third
street early yesterday morning, shot
and beaten, has been traced by the
police to a bad negro who has been
captured and who has made confes-
sion.
A few weeks ago, following a series
/ Of exposures of the conditions existing
| in Rock Island as a result of tolerat.
| ing the worthless and depraved of the
colored race, there was a hasty exodus
of the gang, men and women, from the
city. The Argus stated at that time
only constant vigilance would prevent
return of this element Whether
or not the vigilance has been exer.
cised is not known, but al all events
some of the bad ones came back.
The result of it all is another crime
la cold-blooded murder, and the natural
/ inquiry that will now come is whether
/ the city will be rid of the element once
and for all. The only way to accom-
plish this is TO suppress the dives
where these negroes congregate, and
make Rock Island an unattractive
place for them to stop. They are Of
no use in any community and sooner
or later they will commit depredations
such as have so often happened In
Rock Island.
Included in Rock Islands Legitimate

HITTING THE Foop FADp1srs.

One can scarcely take up a news
paper these days without glancing at
advice as TO what one shall or shall
not eat. The United States depart
ment Of agriculture has done some
thing in this line az times, but now
it sends out a bulletin warning peo-
pie TO beware of takers calling them
selves food experts and encouraging
all to eat whatever they please as
long as il is wholesome. Can il be
that al the erudite treatises on sci
enufic feeding are pure rot? If so,
q great deal Of gray matter has been
wasted.
The truth Of the matter is" says
the bulletin. that mans chances Of
health are best when he eats with
moderation diet made up Of clean,
wholesome. ordinary foods, prepared
in the usual ways" Well. tina. Is
what our ancestors used to do, and
they seemed 10 thrive pretty well on
the diet. The department sharps hit
the mark when they add: IF the de.
! auctions OF many food faddists &C
cepted as facts were really operative
II would be difficult TO explain how
the human race had survived"
This knock al the food faddists is
! timely and deserved, but al the same
time there is something in the teach
I ing OF the relative nutritive values OF
standard foods The department
{ would be doing a good work If it is
I sued a reliable statement along these
lines. for there is no question that
thousands OF families in this coun
try whose incomes are limited coulC

cost very much less than what they
are accustomed to.

rider roads" he calls them. The gov
eminent will do nothing of the sort,
if congress adopts the Shackleford
policy. Mr.. Shackleford contends that
TO improve the roads of this country
on that plan would cost billions of
dollars, and by the time the living
generation is in its graves, not more
than two per cent of the people of
the United States would be receiving
any direct benefit from federal good
roads.
mo, the government will not build
road" says Mr.. Shackleford, 1T will
stimulate the construction of them.
Some of the states are doing it now
with phenomenal success. If the gov.
eminent as an incentive to road build.
ing should agree to pay an annual
maintenance appropriation of SIS per
mile of good roads, it would cost the
government $15,OOO,OOO for aid to
100000 miles of good roads" And
Mr. Shackleford says that congress
will not appropriate more than $4,000,
600 per year for roads. That would
give aid to the building of 2,500,0Gj
miles of good roads, the total road
mileage of the country, he says.

to build national highways are rich

Those who believe in business roads
