Daniel Webster Tried
Rock Island First

Rock Island. Ill. May II. - Editor
Argus: Daniel Webster tried Rock
Island first. but could not hold on,
probably on account of his chronic
state OF impecuniosity. until the city
had ATTAINED its proud prominence.
The writer has a deed signed by the
great statesman June 80. 1872, In
which he constitutes John Z. Bracket.
Esq. his attorney to dispose of his in
terest in certain lands which he owned
Jointly with others, and which were
laid OF as the town site OF Rock Island
city.
For the information OF those who do
not remember Daniel Webster. ! would
say that he was born in New Hamp-
shire in 1882, and died in Massachus-
etts in 1852. He graduated at Dart
mouth in 1901, not an especially good
scholar, but excellent in literature and
oratory He was elected to Congress
from New Hampshire in 1913 and from
Boston in 1922 In 1927 he went TO
the United States Senate from Massa-
chusetts During his career he deliV-
cred hundreds of eloquent and patriot
ic speeches. the most remarkable OF
which was his reply t. Hayne IN re-
gard to the proposed secession of
South Carolina This is said to be the
greatest speech since that Of Demos
themes on the Crown which il some
y nat resembled ie was secretary
of state under President William II.
Harrison and also under Tyler and
Fillmore In 1887 he travelled through
the west and tried Rock Island, on
which occasion he became Interested
in the property alluded to above. He
was always impecunious until he mar
ried his second wife who brought him
considerable property.
The following story is related of him
in his younger days:
When a young lawyer while riding
circuit. before breakfast in the wash
room at a country tavern. he laid his
new toothbrush on the windowsill. 1t
was promptly taken, used and return
ed by one OF his colleagues. But Web
ster Immediately threw IT out of the
window to the establishment OF his fell
low travellers. one of whom, remark
ing on Webster's spendthrift procIivi-
ties, said-''it was a perfectly good
toothbrush"
The writer has an autograph letter,
uh'Su NC" n way So iofO' Niitteh
by Mr.. Webster TO Joseph w. Brack-
EFT. ESQ., declining, on account of
pressing engagements, to be present at
a barbecue and political celebration.
He closes by saying wish you
pleasant and happy meeting. Let dis
cussion go on. Let reason and intel
ligence have their fair play. Let the
people be persuaded to consider the
state of the country. it's present ne
cessities. its hopes, its future pros
poets. and doubt not of the success
of the Wing nomination"

CALLI0PEPADEREWSKl

Would you care to play a calliope?
Be not hasty with the affirmative.
For a calliope is many, many times
more difficult to play than a piano. 1t
might be said that Paderewski of Il e
calliope must also be a blacksmith.
Where the ordinary piano player has
Z 1-3 octaves. a calliope has only from
two to three. For a calliope to be
equipped with as many octaves as a
piano. It would require a whistle the
size of "a % calibre cartridge for the

ney through life. After an informal
social time. the members repaired to
the banquet room, where substantial
refreshments were served by the COM
mittee having the matter in charge.
From the expressions heard, there
is no question of the esteem in which
Mr.. Petit IS held by the members of
his lodge, and all signified the nope
that he would live for many more years
to enjoy the novelty of succeeding him
self in Office.

Expresses Thanks.

Although overcome with surprise.
and mOmentarily at a loss for words.
Mr.. Petit finally managed TO express
his thanks to the members for their
beautiful gift. and then proceeded to
give some "reminiscences of the long
period OF his stewardship.
He recalled that at the time he was
first installed. the membership OF the
lodge was probably not much over l25
or $50 II now has in the neighbor-
hood Of 800 members. During his sec
retaryship he had seen 3S5 newly ad-
mitted members afIix their signatures
to the lodge bylaws greater num-
Der than the total present membership.
While he has been secretary the lodge.
Of course. has suffered the usual losses
from deaths and removals. Mr.. Petit
further stated that ne had had the
pleasure OF serving under no less than
20 different worshipful masters, SO that
he might justiiably apply to himself

paraphrasing # to read: Masters may
come and masters may go. but l go on
forever"
Worshfpful Master Pearson, at the
conclusion of Mr.. Pettit's remarks, call
ed upon William McConochie. one of
the oldest members, for little history
of the ancient doings of the lodge, IT 4
time when it lacked the conveniences
now enjoyed in it's splendid new tenn
pie. Mr.. McConochie's recOllections
were most entertaining and contribut-
ed much valuable information concern
ing the olden times. There were more
piano numbers and talks by each of the
past masters present, at the close of
which, the members crowded to the
front to shake the hOnored guest of

Trio lodge No. %. A F. & A. NJ. Of
this city. Ever since. he has been
serving the lodge as the keeper Of its
records with a faithfulness and devo-
ton seldom equaIed in an office of this
kind. During the entire period OF his
incumbency. he has not missed more
than a dozen meetings of his lodge.
and. in fact. the records show that he
failed to attend only four meetings
when he was in the city. This Is a
record OF which any official may just
ly be proud. and the members Of Trio.
in thinking ii over. decided that II was
time for them to show their apprecia-
ton OF this devoted service in some
substantial manner. Consequently, the
worshipful master. John Pearson. call

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM

During the past week two incidents
occurred in different parts of the
world that are causing nervousness ON
the part of a portion of our people.
One day last week a Turkish fort in
SMYRNA fred on a launch of the bat
tleship Tennessee. In the present
state of lines of communication, it
takes an undue length of time to as
certain the true facts of the case, but
it has been unoficially reported that
the shot was fred across the bows Of
launch as a warning that the harbor
was mined and the port closed. As
soon as an official declaration to this
effect has been made, it would seem
that the incident should be closed.
What will perhaps prove of a more
serious character is the seizure by a
German cruiser of the cargo of an
American ship, off the South Ameri-
can Pacific coast, the latter part OF
the week. The ship in question was
the Sacramento, formerly the Kosmos
liner Alexandria, sailing under Ger
man register. Some weeks ago the
name of the ship was changed, as
noted, as well as the register, and at
the time of the seizure the vessel was
sailing under the American flag.
Upon his arrival at Valparaiso, the
captain of the ship merely stated that
he had been overhauled on the high
seas and compelled to turn over his
cargo of 5000 tons of coal and 1000
tons of provisions to a German
cruiser.
Upon an investigation, which is
promised at once by the Federal au-
thorities, it will probably be found
that the ship was in the employ of the
German government and that the al
legged seizure was in conformity to a
pre-arranged plan. In this event, the
incident will lose much of it's inter
national character, as the only people
to be dealt with will be the owners
and captain of the Sacramento.

When buying rugs remember that a
dark rug shows dust and lint. and a
green fades. Usually the best rugs
have small patterns, whereas cheap
fabrics have big, bold designs. Tan
shades wear well and some reds are
lasting. Blue rugs are suitable for
bedrooms and rcd. brown and mixed
colors for halls.
