Insult Causing Demand
For Salute of U. s. FIaq

Assistant Paymaster Charles G.
Copp and boat load Of marines
landed at Tampico last Thursday
to obtain supplies. They were ar
rested, but later discharged.
In accordance with regulations
in all navies of the world, Rear
Admiral Mage on considering that
an unwarranted arrest had been
made and that the uniform of the
American navy had been disre-
garded, demanded reparation in
the form of a salute of 81 guns.
The American flag, while not
take ashore was flying at the
stern of the whaleboat and all the
marines were in uniform.
Rear Admiral Mayo allowed the
Huerta commander until 600
o'clock that evening to fire a sa-
lutte, but later extended the time
in order to afford the local COM
mander to communicate with his
superior officers in Mexico City.
A statement of apology was is
sued in Mexico City by General
Huerta and the local officer who
arrested the marines was ordered
punished.
This did not satisfy the United
States government and the salute
was insisted upon.
General Huerta himself at no
time agreed to comply, but an un-
der secretary in the Mexican for
eign office did inquire of Charles
O'Shaughnessy if a salute fired to
the gunboat Dolphin and responded
to by the American ship would be
acceptable.
This was emphatically rejected
by the United States and word
was sent that nothing short Of a
public salute to the American flag
would be satisfactory.

The Milwaukee Free Press printed
IN its issue of last Sunday map, the
original of which hangs upon the wall
of the Old Settlers club, of that city,
showing the railroad facilities this
country enjoyed in the days i'm
mediately following the Civil war.
This was before the building of the
Burlington or the Milwaukee roads
along both sides of the Mississippi
river and long before the construction
of the Northwestern line out through
this country At that time there was
only one railway system traversing
lower and central Wisconsin, it being
known as the Milwaukee & Missis-
sippi Railway-the main line running
from Milwaukee, through Madison and
Boscobel to Prairie du Chen, where it
ended at the Mississippi river and a
branch of the same running from
Milton Junction through GAINESVILLE,
to Warren, ILL.,, Galena and Dubuque.
There was also the railroad running
northward from Freeport to Mineral
Point. Grant county's only railroad
facilities then were supplied by this
road along the Wisconsin river, on it's
northern border, with Boscobel as its
shipping point, and Galena or Du-
buque to the south, over across the
state lines of Illinois or Iowa. 1t is
an interesting old map and is accom-
panied by reminiscent article from
the pen of an old engineer, j. B.
Kynaston, who began as a fireman
on the road in 1865, when a 35 ton
locomotive with big funnel shaped
smoke stack was a monster and only
wood was used for fuel.

High Claim for Quality.

Right-Cut is the name of a new
chewing tobacco being placed on the
market by the Weyman- Burton Co.,
1925 Colorado-av, Chicago, with a
guarantee and an offer of $4,000 to
anyone disproving the concern S
claims regarding the quality of the
tobacco.
The company guarantees the pro-
duct to be made of pure Tennessee,
Kentucky and Virginia whole leaf
tobacco, no scraps or pieces being
used, and that nothing is used in
the manufacture of it except as ap-
proved by the government pure food
laws. The SIS, 900 offer is made to
anyone, employees of the company in
cluded.
I'm all our experience we have
never seen as strong a guarantee as is
signed by the manufacturers of Right
Cut, +" said George L. Dyer, president
of the George l.. Dyer Advertising
Co., New York.
Right-Cut is fine cut tobacco. It's
main virtue is said to be the ability of
very small chew to satisfy.

With all the talk against trusts,
combination and Capitalization is the
order of things in business affairs,
and, where such Capitalization results
in good to the public as we'll as to
the other parties there can be no COM
plant. Just now the furnishing of
electricity for light and power are
the most noticeable instances of such
a movement in this section. Mention
has several times been made in these
columns of the extension of the Lam
caster Light and Power Co. s service
to other cities and villages in the
county, where contracts have been
made to furnish light and power at q
lower cost than it can be furnished by
the local plant. Fennimore and Bos-
cobel have both contracted for the
Lancaster service. Similar service is
under consideration in two other vii
lagos, while to the east of us the
Mineral Point Light & Power Co. has
absorbed the Dodgeville company and
will transmit electric current to that
city from the Dodgeville plant, in
cedentally running the line through
Miff1in and Livingston, and expecting
to later connect up with Highland and
Montfort.

California Raisin Day To Be Observed
April 3Oth.

Thursday, April 3Oth will be
observed as California Day by over
10, 900 grocers and bakers all over
the United States and Canada, ac-
cording to the reports received from
the California Raisin Day Committee
of Fresno, CAL, which is situated in
the heart of the worlds greatest
raisin producing center.
The movement was started six
years ago by public spirited men of
California who sought this means of
familiarizng everyone with the
wonderful food value of the Cali
fornia Raisin.
One of the prime movers in this
event is Mr.. James Hersburgh, Jr.,
General Passenger Agent of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Co., who,
with others, realized the great
amount of good which could be ac-
complished by exploiting the marvel
GUS food value of the raisin.
The movement has won with
wonderful success and raisins are now
rapidly coming to the front as one of
the most popular of the natural food
products.
The following bulletin from the
United States Department of Agri-
culture shows the remarkable COM
parative food value of the California
Ra;sin.
One pound of California Raisins
represents food value equal to each
of the following:
One and one third pounds of beef.
Six pounds of apples.
Five pounds of bananas.
Four and one-fourth pounds of
potatoes.
One pound of bread.
Four pounds of milk.
Four and three-fourths pounds of
fish.
Two pounds of eggs.
An important medicinal value of
raisins is their laxative effect.-U.
5. Department of Agriculture, Bulle-
tin No. 142.
L. Alt & Sons announce in their ad-
vertisement this week that they will
participate in observing California
raisin day and will feature raisins in
the show windows and on their
counters.
join in the movement and feature
raisins on their menus on that day.
This will be splendid opportunity
for the housewives to acquaint them
selves with the many various ways in
which raisins may be served.

Is the Eugenic Law Void?

Wisconsin's new eugenic marriage
law has been contested before the
circuit court at Madison, and by that
court declared unconstitutional
Presumably an appeal will be taken
to the supreme court.
Did the great University of Wis
consin-especially the English de-
partment-have hand, as it so
often does in legislation in that state,
in the framing of this new law ?
Probably not. For no sooner was the
law passed than there arose a great
disagreement as to what it meant.
The particular section that bother
ed the doctors most was the one that
prescribed fee of only So for
examining candidates for matrimonv.
That fee might serve for ordinary
cases; but for those that required
Wasserman and other expensive tests,
it was pitifully inadequate quite
impossible, in fact.
The obvious lesson of the fisaco is
that when any measure of serious
Importance is to be enacted, it should
first be perfected as to it's admins tra-
tive details, and then stated in such
lucid English that there can be no
possible controversy about it's mean
ing. But, of course, that isn't the
way laws are made.-The Osteopathic
Magazine.

Coxey's Army is an unsavorJ

Coxey's Army is an unsavory
memory of years gone by, when it
marched to Washington to make an
appeal on the steps of the national
capital for relief for the unemployed
during the hard times of the Cleve-
land administration. While that
army was a joke at the time and
has become more of joke in the
years that have since elapsed, in
spite of this the notoriety received
out of the affair by "Gen" Coxey
seems to have swelled his head, and
now he is trying to play the same
game over again. Following the same
plan as the nondescript "army" of
tramps which have been making
themselves so obnoxious to the people
on the Pacific coast of late, where
they have kept housewives and chill
dren in a state of terror until
authorities and citizens generally
have been obliged to join together
and compel them to move elsewhere,
Seen" Coxey has assembled another
motley bunch of chronic unemployed
who don't want work, and they are
now on the march down through Ohio,
on their way eastward. Arrived in
city they at once "rustle" the
back doors of the city homes for
something to eat. An honest and
Industrious man who really wants
work and can t find it is an object for
solicitude and pity; but a bunch of
dirty and lazy tramps who get to-
gether in such movements simply to
prey upon the people are entitled to
small consideration. The public has
Coxey's measure pretty accurately,
and all the impression he can create
in the way of sympathy or legislation
won't be much. He's a blatherskite,
net.

HOLY GRAIL SHATTERED
TO FRAGMENTS BY FALL
Basin Considered Most Precious
Relic on Earth Ruined Beyond
Any Hope Of Restoration.

Rome, April 1.-THE holy basin
kept in the Genoa cathedral, and
supposed to be the veritable holy
grail, has been accidentally broken
into fragments and is beyond repair.
The basin was brought to Genoa in
the year 11O1 among the spoils of
war from Caesarea, since when it
has been venerated as the most i'm
portant relic in the world.
1t was octagonal in shape and was
cut from an unknown precious stone
somewhat akin to the emerald.

SERMONS BY THE GUNMEN.

Inc Tour gunner VINO were eXecut-
ed in New York on conviction of
numbering Herman Rosenthal, a
gambler who had fallen out with the
police lieutenant that had been his
secret partner, were not born
criminals. Winthrop D. Lane made
an investigation of the personal and
family history Of all four for the
Survey. He found there was no evil
dence of lawbreaking by the parents
of any of them and that the boys
when young were no worse than the
average. But all went to the streets
at an early age and were misled by
the example of criminals who got
''easy money" by devious ways.
They drifted into the ways of the
underworld, with result which all
the world knows.
AS they saw that the laws stern
penalty could not be escaped, they
sent messages from their death
chamber which should be pondered by
every boy in the nation and by every
parent. Whitley Lewis" one of the
quartet, emphasized bad company as
the cause of all his trouble. Lefty
Louie" added special warning
against the man who gets riches by
methods that are not "straight. +"
ga fellow who honestly earns Sc
week is better off than he who gets
$1,000 week, if he does not get it
straight +" All agreed that they
were once in aff1uent circumstances
and boosted of the number of their
friends" on the East Side. But
when stormy weather came these
friends fled and only representatives
of the synagogue and the church join
ed immediate members of their
families in giving them aid and COM
fort.
While there are nobler grounds for
good conduct than mere utility, it is
fact, old as the history of the race,
that crime does not pay. The boy
who joins gang to break the law is
certain of bad end. If he is not
found dead in the street, victim of
some feud, he is likely to end his life
in prison or on the gallows. No boy
when he begins an irregular life
dreams of ending it as a thug or a
murderer, but his criminal environ
ment acts like quicksand, sucking
him in until it is almost impossible
for him to escape. The warning is
sued by the four gunner is the
opinion of experts, who gathered
their knowledge in the expensive
school of experience. Such a cry
should not go UNDECIDED. Parents
who have given their children the
freedom of the streets should con-
slider it we'll. Boys who are just
starting on the perilous journey
should think of the sad mess of life
made by the four gunner. None of
the four was arrested until he was in
his teens. None of the four could be
properly called victim of circum-
stances. Each had chance to make
an honest living and become a
respected citizen. But their dislike
of toll and their love of fine clothing
and luxuries which they saw
temporarily enjoyed by criminals they
met in low resorts caused them to
take up a course of life which ended
so tragically Monday morning st.

FIRST OF ALL. GOOD ROADS.

II IS gratifying TO know that Rock
Island county, through an organisa-

The proposition has now reached the
stage where ways and means are be-
been suggested as the most feasible
way of systematic accomplishment.

all sections OF the county, has made
a good and healthy start. II is going
about the subject intelligently and
logically and IL is hoped the desired
results may come from its conferences
and deliberations.
Perhaps no single factor In Amer
lean life IS OF greater social and eco
nOmic importance TO the people of this
whole country than is that of good
roads. The factor of production might
be given priority. but, granting the
contention. production falls fat if il

duce bountiful crops II impossible

To- right markets at the right time.
This is but one phase OF national life
dependent upon good roads. There is
the social side. wherein the farmer
and his family have adequate or in
adequate facilities for neighborly
communication and necessary schools
according to the condition of the high
ways.
Good roads mean increased church

delivery service. more and better
schools. happier social intercourse, and
q higher moral tone generally through
out the countryside.
These desirable conditions also react
favorably on the business side by
causing diversified farming. enhance
