G. l.. Walker, secretary of the East
Moline Commercial club to members
of the commercial organizations of
Moline and Rock Island to attend a
smoker. making the formal opening of
the new quarters of the East Moline
boosters in Royal hall to be held the
evening of Monday, Ian. ).
The invitations refer to Moline and
Rock Island as suburban cities and
cite the grounds for this attitude. East
Moline was organized as village in
1903 with 500 population and as city
in 1907 with 1000 population. Its
rapid advance from 1907 till now war
rants the claim, according to the East
Moline view, that it's citizens are in
position to teach boosting to the ad-
jacent cities. In attending the smoker
Moline and Rock Island business men
will have a chance to gain pointers.

WANTS AN EQUAL
CHANCE FOR ALL
Speaker Reviews Achievements
of the Negro at Emancipa-
ton Celebration.

That the colored people of the
country intend to show the whites that
they are fully equal to the require
ments of citizenship was the state
ment made by w. a. Stewart Thurs
day at the celebration of the 51st
emancipation proclamation held at st.
Paul's A. NJ. Z. church. The speaker
asked the same protection for his race
as is given TO the white population
William Bates presented a paper
in which he reviewed the achieve
ments of coIored people since they
were declared free by President Lin
coin in 1868. He told of the leaders
of the race and their work and cited
the fact that 10000 colored men and
women are now successfully Engaging
in business, while capital of colored
people controls GA banks and colored
congregations have $4,000 churches.
There were other papers, addresses
and musical numbers and the eman-
cipation proclamation was read. The
hit of the day was made by the Ma
tional Convention of Hardshell Be-
LEVERS" given under the direction OF
W. \. Stewart. chairman. and Mrs.
James Colquitt, secretary. All the
formaIities OF an actual convention
were gone through with and much fun

platform adopted was strongly for
woman suffrage.
Refreshments were served both be-
fore and after the program.

HIS MOST ANXIOUS MOMENT.
When Dewey. Feared He Might Be
Branded az Coward.


Admiral Dewey tells in his autobi-
ography the story of his most anxious
moment. 1t was when he vas execu-
tive officer OF the warship Mississippi.
After passing the forts at New Orleans
his ship was about to sink under FIRE,
and the crew had to be taken of In
boats There were not enough boats.
and the danger of a magazine explo-
sion became so great TINT the crews
showed increasing hesitation in return
ing for another load. On a sudden I'M
pulse Dewey jumped into one of the
boats to 20 after the rowers and COM
Del them to return. He continues:
Not until we were free Of the ship
did | have n second thought in reaiiza-
ton of what I had done. l had left
my ship in distress when 1t Is the rule
that the last man to leave her should
be the captain. and / as executive off,
Ger should be next to the last.
THAT was the most anxious moment
of my career. What II a shot should
should get me? All the world would
say that had been guilty of about rs
craven an act as can be placed Mt the
door of an officer. This would not be
pleasant reading for my father up in
Vermont He would no longer think
that l had done the rest reasonably
well. If the ship should blow up
while was away and I should appear
on the reports as saved probably peo-
pie would smile over my explanation.
AS 1t turned out. however. the maya
zine did hot explode. and Dewey's
presence was needed TO bring the boat
crews back and save the men still on
the sinking ship.

incalculable advertising value. The
results are the more remarkable be-
