Showing how Russia is larger than
the entire continent of North America
with the islands o. the Caribbean
thrown in: how it occupies three-fifths
OF Europe and two-fifths of Asia; how
it's Asiatic possessions are one and a
half times as great as those OF China
and three times as great as those or
Great Britain; how it comprises one
sixth of the landed area of tue globe
and one-tenth of the worlds popula-
ton, Gilbert II. Grosvenor, director
and editor of the Nationol Geographic
society. has just furnished the nearly
$4,000 members of that organization
with a striking pen picture of Young
RUSSIA Land of Unlimited POSSIBLE
tiles"
After giving an impression of the
diversity of the origin of its peoples,
who come from the orient and the
dccident. the frisid north and the
tropic south: of its range of climate.
which gives the Palm Beach touch to
its Crimea and the breath of the north
TO its White sea region: of its vast ag-
ricultural wealth; of the widely vary
ing aspirations of its peoples. which
differ as greatly as those OF the Poles
and the Mongols. as those of the Con-
fucians and the Jews, as those of the
Tatars and the Laps. and of the vast
ness of the geographic limits OF the
Empire. Mr.. Grosvenor says:
But with all its geographic great
ness Russia Is about as poor in nat
ural outlets to the world as the small
est OF the countries OF the earth. Hol-
land could be hidden in the vast
reaches of the Russian plain, almost
as a needle in a haystack, yet Amster-
dam does more international business
than all the ports of Russia together.
Not one free outlet 10 the open sea
does European Russia possess except
on the icebound shores OF the Arctic
ocean. The path from the Black sea
to the Mediterranean leads through
the ,Bosphorus and the Dardenelles
held by alien hands
He then continues: From such
record of size, of bigness in every
thing, We should expect Russia to be
an old nation, like Great Britain, with
perhaps a thousand years OF unhin-
dered growth behind her. But. as a
matter of fact. Russia is a youth
among the nations compared with En-
gland, a STRIPPING whose full stature
and breadth is still a subject of con-
lecture and speculation.
Russia is young because she never
has had a chance TO grow until recent
years. Her geograp hical shape or con-
ditions was such that for centuries her
people were constantly being enslaved
or despoiled by stronger neighhors."
After dealing briefly with Russia's
history. especially with |
the surprising reign of Peter the
Great. Mr.. Grosvenor shows that when /
ii freed the fifty million |
serfs of Russia he released from bond |
age a population equal to that of the |
twelve leading states of the United I
States. and a population more than |
twelve times as great as was freed by |
Lincoln's emancipation proclamation |
not very many months afterward. AL

My dear said Mr. Phillips to his
wife. don't you think that Lucy
should be thinking about providing fer
herself by marrying
"Lucy marryl Why. my goodness
gracious. the child isn't four months
past fifteen She won't be thinking
about matrimony for three or four
years yet Mt least. and IL she goes to
college it's more likely TO he six or
seven. What put that into your bead?"
''Why, was thinkinG-you know how
much money | have lost lately-thi<
Tommy Harding who came home with
her from school the other day will
come into quite a fortune when he Is
twenty-one If the kids could be unit
ed / wouldn't worry about Lucy. As
1t is I'm constantly wondering what
you and she would do in case 1 should
be cut off,
You're not going to be cut off. At
any rate, nothing can be done about
marrying Lucy till she has got out OF
childhood. Why. she's scarcely left OF
playing with her doll"
We'll, 1 suppose you're right about
it. Lucy is only child. and she's got
her education before her"
Nevertheless the husbands sngges-
ton effected a Judgment in his wife's
mind. and she regretted that the chill
dren were too young to be brought TO-
gether. Tommy was a nice boy, and
it was known that he would come into
substantial fortune. Mrs. Phillips
would have liked to bridge over three
or four years for her daughter, though.
since Tommy was but year older
than Lucy, he would need even more
time than this to develop into full man
hood.
However. the matter of uniting the
children when they should become old
err had got into Mrs. Phillips head.
and she couldn't let the matter alone.
One day Mr.. Phillips said to her:
whats become of Tommy? l have
not seen him around here for long
while
He's not coming so much now as he
did"
Whats the trouble?"
well. it's your fault. You seemed
to be so anxious that Lucy should Sc
cure his fortune that in order to help |
the matter out l sort of leased Lucy |
about him
You mean in order to crafty your /
curiosity"
Anyway. what | said proved that
my claim that she was too young to
think about such things is correct. A
childish friendship has been broken by
love"
Il see
IF you hadn't got it into your head
that n marriage could be arranged be-
tween two children it all might have
come about in time of itself"
Rather if you had stuck to your
own opinion and let the matter alone

FOR SHAME!

II seems inconceivable that any hui
man agency should raise its voice in

fort 20 promote joy among the children
Of the poor at Christmas time, yet
Rock Island has witnessed such a
spectacle. and from source whose
constant boast is its devotion to the
cause of the moral uplifting of others.
incidentally. too. have come from
this same source mock pleadings in
the name OF charity and hypocritical
expressions of good will.
In another newspaper repeatedly
the editorial statement has been made
what the children need are food and
clothes. not toys" a publication that
can't be taken as other than an in

good women of the city associated

ness in those homes among the poverty
stricken il is ascertained in advance
there is not the faintest hope of
visit from Santa Claus unless the
more fortunately situated in life pro-
vide those little things so dear to the
heart Of childhood at this season of
the year.
This annual Christmas effort has
been a labor of love with The Argus
and the loyal friends who have given
so generously of their means and time
to successfully carry out the object
striven for, and, to say the least. it is
a disappointment to learn that human
ity should permit itself to stoop to such
cowardly depths. through the PROMPT
ings of ina gined commercial rivalry.
to attempt to belittle such an under
taking.
OF what manner of man is he who
would put obstacle in the way of
worthy enterprise because of jealousy
of the institution fostering it? OF
what material must be made the
heart of the man who would say to the
unhappy child. there can be no Santa
Claus in your home this year, no
CLEAN of Christmas sunshine in your
heart, because YOU are too poor?

GETTING RID OF CRIMINALS.

Chicago claims to have hit upon a
plan which is effective in Kidding the
city of the criminal class. Those who
have no visible means of making an
honest living are assumed to be get
ting one dishonesty and they are
prosecuted under the vagrancy act
Evidence for this purpose is secured
by investigators employed by a crime
commission named by the city council.
Rock Island and Davenport as we'll
a. Chicago, have problems of dealing
with undesirables who will not be
made less numerous here in the three
cities by the success of Chicago in
eliminating them. On the contrary.
many. in addition - those already
here, are likely to come from the
metropolis for a temporary refuge. if
the Chicago police become too vigilant
for their security.
If Chicago g. any other city can
successfully handle It's criminal ele-
ment by treating its members as va
grants why will not the plan work
here? There are comparatively few
hangouts in this city where crooks are
known 70 make their headquarters and
espionage should be a relatively sim
pie matter.
II may be objected that this method
will add a number Of boarders TO those
already assembl at the county Jail.
but what OF IL? The community as a
whole will find it cheaper TO support
them in Jail than out of it and il will
be much safer for life and property.

Your Crop of Gold" Starters.

Good evening, how is your health ?
we greet each other habitually.
The weather comes first in our
thoughts; then, as natural conse-
quence. we think of health. From
the dawn of human intelligence upon
this troubled globe it has been the
custom to blame most of our own
faults and crimes upon tine weather.
Especially are We fond of attributing
all kinds of respiratory disease to
bad weather.
Yet pneumonia. for good exam
pie. is a very rare disease above the
Arctic circle. where the weather is
certainly not mild or moderate. And
pneumonia proved a serious problem
on the Isthmus Of Panama while the
canal was under construction. There
the weather was warm enough all
the time. and there were few sudden
changes. Why so much pneumonia
among the laborers. then? Dr. Cor
gas found the answer: Crowding in
quarters. As soon as the living
quarters were spread out. so that
the men were net living and sleeping
in such close contact indoors. pneu-
monia ceased to prevail epidemically.

or course the cause of pneumonia
is the pneumococcus. This germ
exists in the saliva or expectoration
of the individual who has the disease.
But. thanks to cold air and sunlight
and the weather in general. the
pneumococcus cannot survive out in
the open; it is a hot-house plant, a
house-bred pest.
Pneumonia is by no means its only
role. The pneumococcus plays a !
thousand and one parts in produc-
tons running all the way from light
to the most dreadful tragedy. /.
Practically every man, woman or
child who has decayed teeth. in
