The passing OF Z. Frank Knox will be
deeply mourned n Rock Island. One
OF Rock Islands oldest native born
sons and having been, since his youth,
engaged in a business which brought
him into close relation at one time or
another with practically everybody In
this city and the western half of the
county. no one has had q more general
acquaintance than he and no one has
better withstood the test OF personal
contact.
As a public official Mr.. Knox was
honest, capable and conscientious. Civ
ing the people the best that was in
him. In his business and private rela-
ticns with his fellow man he was kind.
unselfsh and sympathetic. His in
good deeds done for those
to whom he ministered in their hour
Of deep distress and woe will cause
him TO be fondly remembered during
the lifetime OF the many who have
known him.

France Contrasted With the United States

France. the wealthy. enlightened.
conteated garden-land, where want
was almost unknown and waste was
rare; the strong, thrifty, art loving
France of just before the war. as de-
scribed with intimate detail aud con-
trasted with the United States. its
great sister republic. by Major-Gen-
eral A. W. Greedy, United States army,
forms the subject of a statement pre-
pared by the National Geographic So
ciety. II says:
Paris can no longer be looked upon
as France. The repository and guar
dian of art treasures which in extent,
variety, and beauty are elsewhere I'M
surpassed; enriched with historic ma
terial of pricele5S value; adorned by
artistic monuments and noble struc
lures; beautified by broad streets and
perfect parks; the center of culture
for the nation; the fashion dictator
for the world; the seat of government
and so of power; scarcely surpassed
elsewhere as a financial center-Paris
is at once the envy and admiration of
France, as indeed of the world. Still
it is not France.
THE real France is a country of in
dustry, of scientific application, of
aforesight and comfort, and of rich re-
sources. General prosperity is best
shown by the caisses d'epargne (petty
banks). which, numbering 2,400, re-
ceive only limited sums from it's Glen
tele-wage -earners. petty tradesmen,
etc. The depositors annually increase,
in 1911 being 21.7 of the population.
Despite the rising standard of living,
the accumulations in these small
banks had reached S774, 4O5, 900, aver
aging $19.55 to each man. woman and
child in France.
"A recent essay by DR.. H. S. Will
liams treats of the savings of the
four leading commercial countries. He
says: France has the lowest wage
scale and the highest percentage of
savings bank depositors. $40. Amer /
lea has by far the highest wage scale !

FAIR WARNING.

The Argus Santa Claus fund has
become a public institution in Rock
Island. Never before has it been the
means OF bringing happiness to so
many little ones, and grown folks, too,
as this year.
That il meets a need as real and
as vital as any that exists has been
shown beyond the shadow of a doubt
10 all unprejudiced minds and it is to
be regretted that this year, for the
first time, there has been an effort
prompted by jealousy TO discredit
it and to impugn the motives
back of it. Not only have attacks
been made by innuendo upon the San
ia Claus movement, but emissaries
have been sent out to exert their per-
sonal influence TO divert contribu-
lions from it and prejudice the cause
in the public mind.
Tins year The Argus refrained
from entering a controversy which to
many must appear unseemly. in that
it would be placed in the position of
defending that which needed no de-
tense. However. II now serves notice
that if the tactics which were used
against the Santa Claus movement
are repeated in 1915 some plain truths
will be told. There viii be no mincing

upwards OF $4,000.

/ capacity made n rather better selection
than before. The tract at Seventeenth

and water drainage. The second Sc

Those who have protested against
the use OF the sites the city has pur-
chased have acted from motives which
were normal and they should not be
too strongly condemned. Having had
no experience with such institutions
as IL is proposed to establish they
naturally fear the worst. They have
visions of narrowing sights and sounds.
with pale. sick and emaciated individ-
uals coming and going. and frequent
visits from the undertaken. They i'm
agine that the air and earth for blocks
about will be sown with malignant
bacilli seeking new victims TO pounce
upon. II these fears are realized,
naturally there will be a great de-
crease in the value of property nearby.
and the owners wish to protect them
selves in their rights.
But. as a matter of fact. modern
tuberculosis sanatorium is nothing to
be afraid Of Patients in the one the
city proposes to establish will actually
be far less dangerous in the neighbor-
hood than such cases as probably exist
in the families of those who are pro-
testing against the institution. At one
time or another the disease attacks
nearly every family. Science has
proven. in fact. that between so and
90 per cent of all the people have tub
ercuIosfs in some form at some time in
their lives. usually, of course. in OILY
an incipient form. Patients in a sana-
forum are taught to protect others
