RIVER RIPLETS

The annual excursion of the students
of the Rock Island high school will be
held this evening. The steamer st.
Paul has been chartered by the grad
yates and undergraduates and every
one who expects to attend is antici-
pating a pleasant time. The st. Paul
took the Davenport Grocery Clerks
association for a ride on the river last
night and although the weather was a
trife chilly the crowd enjoyed the trip
thoroughly.
II was announced this morning that
the steamer Helen Blair will take the
Ger mania Singing society of Davenport
to Clinton next Sunday. The boat will
leave at $50 o'clock Sunday morning
and return the same evening.
The Tri-City District Luther league
will give its annual boat excursion
next Wednesday evening, this excur-
sion, as usual, taking the place of the
leagues second quarterly meeting
This year the league is looking for
ward TO even a larger crowd than u.s.
ual, and in order to be able to accom-
modate all of its friends. the league
has this year chartered the large and
/ beautiful excursion steamer St. Paul.
The St. Paul will not enter the Mo
| line pool, and so will touch at Rock Is
land and Davenport only.
In former years this excursion has
proven to be one OF the most popular
n the whole season, and all indica-
tons are that this year will be no ex-
ception in this respect. AS usual, the
AugIstana College band will furnish
the music, and there will be a plenti
full supply OF good things to eat on
board as well as a plentiful amount OF
soft drinks. The contract calls for
the closing of the bar during this ex
cursiJn.

Jonesville, Jan. 14.-Some of the
good women of our country are IA
voring woman's suffrage and while
am the friend of woman and love to
see them elevated to everything that
is noble and grand, l can't think, that
the ballot box will elevate them but
to the contrary. Our good old state
has fine code of laws if they were
only observed. Our women are pro.
tected and defended as no other wo-
men are in this great nation. just
think of the laws up in the rich,
proud state of Illinoins, where Jack
Johnson, the hurley negro, and the
pretty white Caucasian, Lucille Cam
eron, We're permitted to marry. And
again look at the divorce cases that
pass through the court in all the
States except ours, and our own Cole
Blease, much as is said against him,
stands up against the whole congress
of governors and declares he will not
protect negro man who lays his
hand upon white woman with intent
to outrage. "a.
l hope our good women will wait
at least till our ballot box is purged
of so much fraud and disgrace he
fore they press their suit for woman',
suffrage. If the women will take the
position of the officers in battle and
stand. behind the rank and file, so to
speak, and urge them to battle for
the right cause, they will certainly
accomplish more than mixing with
the crowd at the ballot box.

Salary of Pardon Board.
If you are going to have a pardon

upon dignified plane, at least.
Il desire to call to your attention

the ownership of land. The fearful
ly high price that is now being paid
for farminge lands can not, in my
opinion last, but if it should, it is
going absolutely to deprive the poor

another matter which our white

Mcveigh Is
After Taro

]. ID. McVeigh, Superintendent
of the Molokai Settlement was in
town during the week. lie came
over on business and had a lt\pk
around the local taro patches IN
search Of supply of the edible
root. There has been a shortage
on Molokai, and some taro has to
be obtained somewhere.
For a month Mr.. McVeigh
obtained taro from one district and
by good luck also got another
months supply from another place.
He, however, has to make arrange
ments for constant supply Of the
national Hawaiian food and that is
why he is securing Maui.
The superintendent reports all as
being well on Molokai. The weather
has been warm lately and no rain
has fallen for sometime. Rain |!
What's that?" inquired McYeigh,
when asked about rainfall. "Why,
we have had none for such a long
time, that l forget what it islike. "
Mr.. McVeigh remained on Maui fora
couple of days and, through the
assistance of Chief Sanitary lnspec-
tor Osmer, was able to make arrange
ments for IA supply of taro that will
be shipped regularly to the Settle
ment.
