Rock Islands new Y. VI. c. A build
ing stands not only for good citizen
ship. but locally speaking, for achieve
ment. II represents the liberal pub
lie spirit of the people of Rock Island.
i is a permanent example of the &C
complishment of joint endeavor, the
contamination Of a campaign in which
men OF all religious faiths, of all con-
ditiOns OF life pulled together for a
common object.
II shows that all things are possible
L all men who will
Earnestness and cooperation brought
10 a realization the beautiful and COM
mOdious structure that now adorns
the corner of Twentieth street and
Fifth avenue.
II will endure as n testimonial TO
that endeavor as we'll as one of the
most devotedly cherished and credit
able institutions in the city.

II was characteristic of him. Perhaps
no man in public life has such a
wealth OF statistics and information al
his tongues end as does the speaker
of the house OF representatives, and he
takes great pleasure in speaking ex-
temporaneously. Here are some of
the things Mr.. Clark said but which
he had no intention of saying when
he arose to speak.
From the smallest beginning we
have risen to commanding position.
''In 1900 we had 5,3OS,4S3 people. In
1910 our population was 91,972, 266 in
continental America alone, exclusive
OF Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Porto Rico,
The Philippines, and the Canal Zone.
II our population increases at that
rate for the next 10 years in POLO it
will number 1000, 100000 souls-5OO,-
100000 more than are supposed 20 be
on earth today. II makes one think
OF Andrew Carnegies gorgeous vision
of The United States of the World"
Not long since Mr.. Secretary of Agri-
culture James Wilson declared in a
public address that if the Mississippi
valley were cultivated for all IL is
worth on the average one acre would
support one human being, which would
give US 1,250,000,000 citizens betwixt
the top OF the Alleghenies and the
crest of the Rockies.
in the beginning the ratio for a
representative in congress was $4,000;
now it is 212,50O. With the first ratio
and our present population the house
of representatives would consist of
2,7S7 representatives.
I'm 113 years our total wealth multi
piled 125 fold and is now rated by sta
tisticans at the enormous sum of one
hundred and forty billions of dollars.
which. if equally distributed. would
give S1.312 TO every man, woman and
child between the)two oceans. But
there's the rub, for while a few are

be Overwhelmingly democratic.
Tile EGG sANDNICH.

In the contest with the ham sand
wich for popularity, the egg sandwich
has won great fame. II is a stable in
the life-saving stations OF Rock Island
and other American cities where that
wireless message-"one aig"-trans-
mitted to the cook Is the death knell
OF hunger and a sweet soothing song
10 appetite
Naturally the American "aig-sand.
wich-eating' population rises in alarm
with the price OF eggs
The price Is now up around 10
cents. Il is reported that 70 cents a
dozen IS asked in New York and
Philadelphia for guaranteed eggs.
Think what this means TO the popu.
laT-priced, fye-cent sandwich which
has come sailing over the hashery
counter in response TO the drop of a
nickel,
How can the five-cent price be main
tanned II the egg is being marketed at
four. five and six cents per?
II the price is elevated there comes
distress. Should IL remain unchanged
there arises suspicion,
With what mingled emotions of fear
and distrust we will now listen TO that
cry-"one aig!"

NO DISCUSSING OF THE
MAIN EVIL.

II f. a familiar subterfuge among
the benefciarles of the underworld.
when trapped and exposed, and when
Expulsion IS threatened. 70 point 10
other form OF vice and attempt to
focus an aroused public sentiment
upon II. In other words. the aim and
design IS 70 kick up a sand storm in
the community that will hold close 10
the public eye the lesser Ofenses
while it IS blinded 20 the greater sin,
the real enormity.
There is no purpose or intention here
10 undervalue the efforts OF police au-
thorities to put a stop 10 all forms of
gambling or OF any practice that may
approach gambling. All games OF
chance ought 10 be abated. That goes
without saying.
But the point is that the public is
not satisfied or convinced that vice has
been checkmated in Rock Island by
the mere act Of putting a stop 10 the
gambling evil The crusade must go
further and deeper and 1t must be last
ing n its effect
= The source Of all iniquity IN q COM
munity is the dive. licensed TO operate
as a saloon That is the institution in
Rock Island against which the telling
blow must be struck. And the telling
blow VIII not be struck in raids or
mere cleanup orders alone.
The only way 10 eliminate the dive
IS 10 eliminate f. The only way TO
drive out the dive IS 70 drive it out
The only way 20 put 10 out OF commits
sion is 10 put Il out OF business. The
only way 10 stop 10 once aud for all is
10 refuse il a license
The mayor and the commissioner Of
public safety in Rock Island know
where the dives exist. They know the
character OF the men who operate
them. They know how far these men
can be trusted. They are familiar
with all these things.
They know that there are certain sa-
Icons in Rock Islaua that must be dis

evil and crime. They have it in their
power right now 20 say whether these

That is what the people Will base their
Judgment on.
There can be no Disgusting of the

and there can be no lodging OF the
Responsibility.

Distinction.

'Ah, but you" she said, have never
done anything to attract public atten-
ton. The man / marry must have
done something worth while-he must,
at least, be a man whose picture has
been published in the papers"
oh, If that's why you have refused
me, it's all right. You may as well
change your mind and say yes. I've
had my picture in the paper, all right"
"When?"

DISAPPEARING PARTY.

= Writing in Golfers OF the disaI
pearing Republican party, Mark Su
Ivan says:
One-third OF the entire mem
bership OF the senate will end
their terms a little more than a
, year from nov. March 3. 1915.
While the end OF the term Is more
than a year distant. their cam
paigns for reelection Will begin in
the immediate future, and will
be determined by the primaries
and elections OF the coming
months. OF the 81. more than
one-half are republicans, as fol
lows:
W. o. Bradley. Kentucky; J. II.
Brady. Idaho; Z. r Brandegee.
Connecticut: J. l. Bristow. Kan
sas: T. Z. Burton. Ohio; c. J.
Crawford. South Dakota; a B.
Cummins. Iowa; W. p. Dilling-
ham. Vermont; J. II. Gallinger,
New Hampshire; a. J. Gronna,
North Dakota: =. /. Jones, Wash
ington; B. Penrose. Pennsylvania:
C. c. Perkins. California; r Root.
New York; l. y. Sherman, lii
nois: r Smoot, Utah; !. Stephen
son. Wisconsin
What will be the political COM
plexion OF the successors OF these
men? Can il be expected TO be
republican? In the presidential
election last year the republicans
carried Just two small states
Vermont and Utah-and q change
OF 3,4O0 votes IN these two states
would have deprived the republi-
cans OF any electoral vote what
ever. Is II conceivable that IN any
considerable number OF these
cases the new senators will be re-
publican? It would seem more

A long one and g mad one.
You may be one OF those

That is not worth the playing:
Hope may have left your heart
And be far from you straying.
