We have best of all one million young men on whose foreheads is written the promise of great achieve ment if given hope and great oppor- tunity. Shall we hesitate about ln- vest1ng the equivalent of $1,O00 for each of these in order to afford them the proper environments in their own home land to make the most of their futures2
 We certainly shall not hesitate long, when we are. assured that the money we are permitted to invest will go in to real Improvements, such as the most progressive cities today are making There is no need to call the roll of these cities-the cities which are inn proving their harbors, widening and i'm proving main thoroughfares, develop ing efficient terminals, opening blight ed centres by far sighted constructive measures approved by the best engi- neers. We shall quickly learn to avoid purely speculative works conceived in the behalf of selfish interests.
 City Planning commissions in which we can place implicit confidence will plan the way for the safe investment of the many millions we need to place our cities in the front rank for the work of a tremendous future.

U. S. MARSHAL
ARRESTS EDITOR
OF MAGAZINES
Rev. B. L. Skulik Taken to
Peoria to Answer to Charge
of Misuse of Mails.

A deputy United States marshal
from Peoria came to Rock Island to-
day and effected the arrest of Rev. B.
L. Skulik who has been in this vicin-
ity for the past six months getting out
a magazine. Skulik has been indict-
ed by a federal grand jury for misuse
of the United States mails and he
will be tried at Peoria during the pres
ent term of court
The man had a great graft. He
pretended TO be the publisher of two
magazines, one in the Polish Ian
guage and the other in English. The
first he called the "Rodsina" and the
second The Home and Farm Maya
zine" For the former he claimed a
circulation of 5000, 900 copies per is
sue and for the second $4,000.
Considering the wide circulation,
the advertising rates were very low
and many tri-city merchants and pro-
fessional men bought space. Skulik
had no scruples as to the disposition
of the space he sold and as a general
rule sold the back and inside cover
pages to three or four different ad-
vertisers at rates above the general
price
To get around this fact and keep it
concealed from the advertisers, he
/ had copies of the magazines printed
in each required way and these he
used to show the buyers of space
/ that they were getting what they bar
gained for.
/ AS matter of fact, never more
than 100 copies of either magazine
we're printed and the only copies of
these that were taken from the local
printery which did the work, were
those that were used to hoodwink
/ the advertiser.
A considerable part of the advertis-
ing was from the southeastern part of
the Country-Florida, Alabama and
| Key West Whether or not this was
bona fde advertising or trumped up
/ is not known but if it was all paid for,
the Rev. Mr.. Skulik undoubtedly
should have bank account of suffi-
cient size to enable him TO fight the
charge against him in the federal
! court.
Skulik's arrest followed an extend,
ed Investigation by federal detectives
working under the direction of the
postoffice department. They visited
the printery where the magazines
were printed in Rock Island and
casually inquired about the number
printed and so forth. The indictment
of Skulik followed in hurry.

sion That II Was AnnulIed.

Spr1nSneld, Ill, April 2S.-lt was
discovered recently that the Illinois
motor vehicle act mad passed the gen
eral assembly without having gone
through the formalities demanded by
the supreme court in the University
of Illinois case.
One construction put on this was
that the automobile Law was uncon-
stitutional, and numerous papers in
commenting on the case gave out the
impression that the court had inval-
idated the act
AS result. the secretary of states
ONCE has been swamped with letters
from automobile owners demanding
that their license money be refunded
The secretary has prepared a form
letter stating that the law is still in
force and license fees must be paid as
heretofore

Gas for BraWley

Brawley Newsl: That gas will be
delivered in Brawley soon after April
was the declaration made Saturday
by Assistant General Manager Moore
of the Holton Power Company and I'm
perial Valley Gas Company.
One gang has been making connec-
tions between the street mains and the
houses, and a second gang was added
this week. Still a third may be added
if the work takes too long.
Pipe for the line between Ell Centre
and Brawley is being rapidly Ialu,
and the chief engineer expects that
unless some unforeseen difficulty
should arise gas will be available on
or soon after April 7.
Some new and interesting problems
arose in connection with the installa
tion of the service main between Braw-
ley and Ell Centre. The pipe being On
the railroad private right of way, no
trench is dug, save at the road cross
ings.
With the pipe above ground, the
problem of expansion became acute.
This was solved by laying the pipe in
a slightly zigzag direction, which per
mits expansion and contraction without
