The minister is right, the people
who are, backing. him are right,
but they are not going far enough.
W hat are they going to do when
the moving picture show quits
running on Sunday9 What are
they going to offer to the people
instead OF the. amusement they
have been used to on Sundays
The minister may reply that he
has the church doors open, that
there are other things that they
can do. But what are the things
they can do. that is the question 7
Where will the people go nOw2
t is a fact that a lot of men and
some boys, too, get all the amuse-
ment that they ever get on Sun
day. it is also a fact that a lot of
fellows have no homes, have no
place they could take a fellow to
entertain him if they wanted to-,
and any fellow who will sit in his
room all day on Sunday and new

time is either a fool or going in
that direction. pretty fast and the
man who never gets away from
his fireside only during business
hours is going to get business

views concerning current affairs.
These are the men and boys who
are most apt to get dead set"
against the church and remain so.
The devil laughs when the propo-
sition is started to close q pool
hall, saloon, free lunch room, stop
Sunday base. ball playing. shut up
the Sunday moving picture show,
or arrest the boys for Sunday
fishing. He trembles when a sane
man says it is right to make the
laws to be respected, but we will
give these men and boys a place
to spend a quiet hour or place
for man to forget his business
worries and cares. The devil out
wits the minister many times be-
cause be beats the good intending
man to the man or boy going
wrong with another proposition
Just as glittering Rpdialluripg as
the one taken from him when time
hangs heavily on bis hands. The

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-12-11

Athens. Greece. Dec. IL The
Greeks are greatly relieved at the
news that Olga, the dowager queen,
has determined TO quit the country
for good. Since her husbands assassi-
nation in his garden last spring she
has taken dislike TO the place.
Rightly or wrongly the Greeks &C
cuse her OF sowing the seeds of dis
cord between the throne and people.
and they believe they will now get
on with the new king and queen.
Did she not try to force on US
the priests Greek of the New Tesla
ment? Did she not try TO shut up the
royal garden 10 us? DID she not get
her son created Duke of Sparta to
begin a court nobility of foreigners?
Did she not influence him TO neglect
the fertile farm we bought for him
in the Mores so that he might set a
good example OF husbandry TO the
Creeks
The Athenians thus tell of her sins,
and rejoice that she will not be here
any more.
Olga and her daughter-in-law. King
Constantine's wife. never got on. The
young woman encouraged Greek liter
ature and traditions. became a thor
ough Greek. and favored local ideas
of equality. This made her much
liked. Queen Olga could not under
stand IT. When she called her eldest
son Duke OF Sparta the Greeks cor
rected her. saying he was only Dia-
doque. His wife never styled herself
duchess, only Dialogues. When the
German kaiser came mayors OF small
towns spoke 10 him without the cere-
mony OF talking through a chamber
lain. and laughed when he expressed
Indignation in bad Greek. When Queen
Olga spoke OF their want of respect

blazed the Oregon trail many years
ago. Clarence Bagley. his friend and

or at a Seattle hospital, where he just
underwent q serious operation, and
found the old plainsman expostulating
with the two nurses who refused to
give him a cold water bath or throw
the windows open TO let in the cool
fresh air. After Mr.. Bagley convinced
the nurses that Mr.. Meeker's system
called for the cold bath and cold ali,
the requests were granted.
The operation and illness have not
weakened Mr.. Meeker's determine

says. HIS eye is as bright as ever and
ne still dearly loves an argument. He
vas disappointed over his inability to
attend the good roads congress al

feels the long confinement in the hos

said. There ara more beautiful flow
-rs on the prairie at this time OF the
year than are TO be found in any other
part OF the world"
