EDDYTOR1UL OPOLOCCY

1t amt very often that we opol-
lygise for ennythinl< whether we
be in the wrong or not, but in this
case its different.
1t has allus been one of our prin-
ciples that as rule Apology is
bad thing to git into the habit of
making. If person is allus going
around apologgizing for things and
saying they be wrong it amt long
before we wont take much stock in
what they say, is it? We anser,
emfatically, NO!
Well, that's the same way it
would be with us, speshially as ed
ditor & prop. of the Bingville Bu-
gle to who folks hereabouts looks
up to, as you might say, for their
eddytoriul opinyuns. Now if we
was to come out every wk. with a
abjeck Apology about somethink
or other & confessing on our tumble
knees that we was in the wrong.
our subscribers would nacherly
come to the conclooshion that we
was ginerally wrong, and a. a re-
suit they wouldn't take no more
stock in what we wrote than if Il
come from gelatin spined shrimp.
For this reason we don't sSeerce-
ly seldom ever aponygize and we
don't care who knows It. There
has been times when we found we
was in the wrong, but did we ad-
NIT we was in the wrong? No sir
we pertended we was right &
stuck to it like a leech & as stub
born as mule until the argument
died out and blowd over & was
forgot. As a result we enioy a
reputashion for havink great
strength of characlter & our sub
scribers issens to what we write
with good cal more respeck than
they would if we was eternallv
apologgizing.
What we condesend to offer q
Apology for on this occashion is

According to Anna, jealous RACES

BY Jane Whitaker.
They call the man who presides
over the Court of Domestic Relations
a judge, but so often it has seemed
to me as l have sat in this court and
listened to his untiring endeavors to
straighten out domestic tangles and
inject into marriage relations that
have reached the rocks the sweet
ness and patience with which they
should have been imbUed, that it
would be better to call him a friend
and counsellor.
We have come to think Of a judge
as the man who passes sentence ac-
cording to the cold letter of the law,
but if Judge Fry presided over this
court in that fashion there would be
many homes today that would be
hopelessly broken up that now are
being built strong in the light of a
new understanding and tolerance
that the home builders gained when
they stood in the Court of Domestic
Relations.
Some of the problems that come
into this court seem hopeless ones
viewed without the understanding of
human nature that Judge Fry pos
SeSSeS.
A woman whose face is just a little
soured by many disappOintments has
had her husband brought into court
the day after he was released from
the BrideweIl, where she had had him
sent three months before.
The husband stands there suIIen.
Drink has been his misfortune. 1t
was when he was drunk that he
struck his wife and she had him sent
away. Through the long weeks in
the Brideweu he has nUTsed bitter
ness and perhaps, too, a feeling of
shame and a desire to do better when
he once more gets the chance.
But the wife hasn't given him that

Judge Fry talks TO Qer. Are you
willing to give him one more
chance?" he asks. eff he doesn't
drink and goes to work and provides
for you, are you willing to live with
him and give him another chance?"
81 gave him a chance before, and
he didn't do right" the woman an
swers sullenly.
Eyes, but he has been in the Bride
well and has had time to be sorry for
what he has done. He is going to try
to do the right thing by you now,
am sure"
81 am willing to work and I'll keep
away from drink" says the man.
What do you say, madam" the
judge asks. you must plead for him
or l will have to send him to the
BTidewel again"
The woman looks into the kindly
face of the judge and her harsh ex-
preston sOftens.
"All right, she says. 81 don't want
to be harsh on him. l only want him
to treat me right. I'll give him an
other chance"
Two people are before the court
who should never have been there.
The woman is the embodiment of
ideal motherhood. Her face is sweet
and tender; her voice is low and mu-
steal. The man by her side is hand
some and intelligent, but his nerves
are shattered by over indulgence in
drink.
81 did not want to have him ar
rested" the woman says, but l must
have support for my children. We
are now depending on my father, who
is past 70, and it isn't fair"
''This man should take a liquor
cure" the judge says. Haven't you
some relative or friend who would
pay for a cure for you. You don't
want to be sent to the Bridewel, I
know, but something must be done

Y. M. C. A. AQUATIC
MEET CALLED OFF

The inter-association aquatic meet
which was scheduled for the Rock Is
land Y. NJ. c. A. on Feb. p, has been
called off according to an announce
ment made by officials of the local as
sociation and for various reasons will
not be held, this year at least.
A number of excellent features had
been planned for the program and
patrons of the Y NJ. C. A. here are
somewhat disappointed over this an
nouncement, as many had planned to
attend the meet. The event was to
have come under the auspices of the
Pena City Federation of which Rock
Island is a member, and five associa-
tions would have been represented.
Many other interesting things are
scheduled at the Y. NJ. c. A. in the
near future, however, and visitors
there are always assured of a good
time.

HENDERSON BOUT
AR0USES FANS
Date Has Not Been Definitely
Decided but Scrap Will Occur
Near First of March.

Judging from various comment
about Rock Island and the tri-cities.
the ring side sports and fans are
greatly aroused over the prospects of
seeing Earl Henderson of Rock Island.
and Bum Steamer OF Davenport in
action, and according to present pros
poets there will be at least 200 seats
sold to this match. Instead of a spe-
ciaI car to the scene or the battle, it
seems that a whole train will have to
be taken to accommodate the many
who are looking for tickets. Several
prominent sporting places in the city
are handling the pasteboards and there
VIII be room for all. even though more
than the expected number makes the
trip. but no one is TO know exactly
where the bout takes place until ar
irving at the ring side.
Henderson is getting into excellent
trim and will doubtless give the Dav-
export lad a tough battle for honors.
Both are welterweights and top
notchers in their class, and those who
cxpend their little three bones 10 take
in the contest Will probably never re-
gret IL. for there will be 10 siashinG
rounds OF excellent boxing.
Henderson has not fought for some
time except in training with Peanuts"
Schieberl and other local pugilists, but
says that he will give an account OF
himself OShen the big 20 comes of.
Steamer has been training in Chicago
with Al Wolgast and both boys are in
tHc best OF trim for the fight.
TIE date has not been definitely set
hut will be somewhere near the first
OF March. th- tickets must be pur-
81 ssed Immediately by those Who ex-
Pet L. attend the scrap.
