PRESIDENT WILSON'S SUCCESS.

"The most striking fact about the
new American tariff" says the Lon
don Daily Graphic. lis the extraordi-
nary personal triumph the passage
Of the tariff bill constitutes for Presi-
dent Wilson. Not an experienced pol
itician-he was a university professor,
Unfamiliar with the wilds of Wash
Ington--yet he succeeded where
Roosevelt and Taft failed. The secret
Uf his success was his own single
mindedness OF purpose
The fact that he is not an exper-
bienced politician is the cause of Pres
hent Wilson's success. He came into
public life a new man-with new ideas
and without prejudices. He has no old
friends who aided him in the past TO
reward, nor enemies 10 punish. He
has no entangling alliances. He un.
6erstands the science of government
II is as simple and plain TO him as
Ahat two and two make four.
But his great success is due 70 the
fact that he represents new ideas.

made it easy for a criminal to escape
federal penitentiary. The Standard
Oil officials indicted in Texas were
pardoned. Heike and Gerbracht, the
sugar trust officials, received pardons
and never saw the penitentiary after
conviction on criminal charges.
Charles NJ. Hyde, convicted of land
frauds in South Dakota, was pardon
ed, and Banker Charles Morse re-
ceived the Taft clemency that allow

street game.
But Houston and Bullock seem to
be headed straight for federal prisca
unless the upper courts reverse their
conviction. Their highly organized
campaign which was expected to re-
suit in pardon from President Wilson
has failed in spite of the efforts of
powerful politicians in Washington to
put it through. For a time success
seemed to be on the way, for the in.

THE w1PING OUT OF CRIME.

The way TO check crime is not only
to apprehend the guilty but to wipe
out the crime belt, and drive the IN
desirables from town.
This will insure both the preventa.
tive and the cure.
The theory so advanced is but a rep
etition of what The Argus has con-
tended all along.
There is a wicked and disreputabls
quarter in Rock Island where a low
element congregates unm'olested, much
to the city's disgrace and misfortune.
The existence of this quarter is stay
ing the citys industrial advancement
1t is a burning shame that it should
be- II need not be so. II should not
be so. 1t should be stopped if it re-
physical force of the city to do it.
Prating Will accomplish nothing,
and It is not time for people to seek
their cyclone cellars or for one man
to hide behind another.
The subject does not even admit OF
argument.
There is but one thing to do-sup-
press the dives of every description,
black or white, and chase the fire..
quenters of them.
Camp Joy once flourished and flaunt-
ed defiance in the face of decency. But
under the strong arm of the law, fear.
lessly exerted, it faded away in short
order.

is not speedily done there will be a
day of reckoning-and it may be a de
plorable one.
Clean up the city-and do it now.

pending in court, a procedure which
is forbidden by the rules Of the de-
partment of justice. The case went
up to President Wilson for action, and
he promptly vetoed any recommends

ed men to understand that their cases
must take their course through the
courts.
Houston and Bullock were indicted
for conspiring with others to act in
collision when bidding to supply coal
to government stations in Alaska. AS
result of this alleged collision, the
government paid S27 per ton for coal,
while it was selling in the Nome,
Alaska, market for SIG a ton. The men
are alleged to have made fortunes
out of these contracts. Yet after con-
viction in the lower courts, they plead
ed poverty for inability to carry their
cases higher, and on this plea sub,
mitted their applications for pardon.
AS matter of fact, their cases were
appealed, and the expensive part OF
perfecting the appeals was concluded

The democratic congress in extra
ordinary session has done well. Near
ly six months has elapsed since the
congress assembled with a democratic
majority in both branches. Through
the long and sultry days of very hot
summer the congress continued to
work industriously upon The schedules
of the bill now completed and which
was signed by President Wilson last
night.
The law is constructed on demo-
cratic and right lines. 1t is a tariff in
the interest of the people and not in
the interest of the trusts, monopolies
and syndicated capital With two ex-
ceptions every democrat in the senate
stood firmly for it, and the loss of
these was made up by the votes of
two republicans who rose above party
and voted for it The endorsement of
the democratic tariff by these two
well-known senators, Messrs. La Fol
lette and Poindexter, is strong non.
partisan testimony to the fairness of
the law and will increase the conf.
dence the people as a whole will have
in its impartiality.

democratic tariff remains to be tried.

duties made is prophetic that the
measure will benefit the country, AID
in no way hamper any legitimate bus
mess. 1t is believed it will also have
the effect to, in a measure, lessen the
present high cost of living.
The income tax feature of the bill
effects only those who are abundantly
able to pay the tax. The Limitation of
the tax to incomes in excess of $4,000
and $4,000 relieves citizens who might
feel the tax as burden. The tax will
only apply to the excess over these
sums, and is only one cent on a dol
lar on the income above those sums,
up to $4,000. That is, man with a
$4,000 income will pay tax on $4,000
or, if a family man, on $1,000; and
the active tax on this $4,000 income
will be only $40, and SO, respectively.
This certainly will not be a burden to
a man with an income of $4,000. The
same proposition holds good on larger
incomes up to $4,000, the tax on
which sum will be $40 to $50, accord,

Stay a moment, tell me, pray,
Why you sing song OF glee;
Ger your head the sky Is gray,
Darkness falls DER land and sea:
By your hands know you labor,
You are plainly, poorly clad:
Has your dearest hope come true?
Has Good Fortune brought TO you
Messages that make you glad7
Youth forsook you long ago,
Toll has robbed you Of your grace;
Have you crushed some ancient foef
Joy Eliminates your face;
Down your path the wind is bowling:
Others, richer than you, sigh;
Others moan that all is wrong. -,
Yet you sing a cheerful song;
Pause a moment, tell me why.

Grief has claimed no foe OF mine;
From a warm and cloudless sky
Still the sun is sure to shine;

Hope is fostered where we dwell,

4 NorNTAINEER SCHOOL.

After p teachers had each refused
in turn to teach the regular school at
Irish Creek Hollow, in the mountains
OF Virginia, two country school teach
ers and a 12-year-old assistant invad-
ed the district with a camping outfit
and organized a summer school and
an evening school that were both bet
ter attended than any school in past
years had ever been. The experiment
was so successful that other isolated
communities in Virginia are to be
handled in the same way. Instead of
allowing these isolated districts TO
get along as best they may, state and
county officers in Virginia are going
20 send 20 the mountains every sum-
mer the very best teachers they can
secure in order to provide the educa-
tional facilities that are needed.
Irish Greek Hollow is in a mountain
valley in Rockbridge county. 1t is
sparcely settled and remote of &C
cess. The inhabitants are mountaih-
GERS OF original stock who have inter
married as much as the law permits.
The live in log cabins that are not
even good log cabins. There was a
school building. but for several years
there has been no school. No school
teacher would accept the position.
In 1911, after all attempts TO get a
regular teacher had failed, the coun-
ty superintendent persuaded two ex-
perienced teachers TO go To Irish
Greek Hollow, after their own schools
had closed, and TO open a summer
school. They carried with them tents
to liEe in, provisions. and cooking
utensils. School was opened in the
old school building, and the attend
ance exceeded all expectations.
There were so children enrolled in
morning classes. and 80 to 40 adults
in afternoon and evening classes. The
mountaineers were so appreciative OF
what was done for them that summer
that they built an additional school
room and two comfortable living
rooms for the teachers.
Public spirit has developed to such
an extent the following year that
when one Of the state inspectors and
the secretary OF the Virginia Cooper.

place in the summer Of 1912 they wer,
