ALCOHOL CAUSES INSANITY.

Alcoholism, propagated by every ma
ton, licensed by the state, is second
only to war as cause Of insanity. Not
only does It lead directly to mental
disease. but it indirectly predisposes
to mental and physical deterioration
through heredity. Children of alcoholic
parents are VIGOROUSLY liable to be
epileptic. imbecile or insane.-Willjan

SEVERAL ISSUES.

There are several other issues in
the hearts OF the people that tower

is that of national Prohibition. You

RULING FROM INTERNAL REEVE
NUE. DEPARTMENT SAYS
THEY DON'T NEED STAMP.

Attorney Clarence ]. Schroeder has
received a ruling from the internal
revenue department at Washington
which. it is said, may effect the pres
ent plan followed here whereby can
didates for city Office place a ten cent
war tax stamp on petitions when filed
with the city clerk.
The ruling holds that an acknowl-
edgement taken before a justice of
the peace. notary public or any other
officer empowered 10 swear in a state
meat. is not taxable.
Whether or not this effects the petit
ton depends upon whether the petit
ton is a simple acknowledgement OF
not. City Clerk Martin Rudgrel stated
that he had interviewed officers in
the revenue department of the gov
eminent here and John Liedtke, for
merry deputy internal revenue col
lctor, and that they told him the petit
tons were taxable.
Mr.. Liedtke. himself a candidate.
placed stamps on all of the papers he
filed Commissioner Rudgren declared
that the candidates were all Of an
opinion that the sum in question was
too small TO take a chance on going
wrong and were therefore placing the

Advantages To Be Gained From An

in Town Hall Gathering

The first public meeting in the VII
gage of Sears at which the annexation
to the city of Rock Island was broacn-
ed occurred al the town hall last eve
ming and showed that the people IN
the village are in a receptive mood
relative 10 the contemplated acqui-
sitiou of the territory by Rock Island.
Mayor II. NJ. Schriver and h Fl.
Cleayeland, president Of the Rock Is
land school board. at invitation of the
hackers of the move in Sears address
ed the gathering There were about
90 people present and the addresses
were made following the regular meet
ing of the village board.
What can you give u.s." was the
question propounded on all sides by
the people at the meeting, and both
Mayor Schriver and Mr.. Cleaveiand,
in detailed account explained TO the
people what benefits both Sears ana
Rock Island would derive if the an
nexation was carried.
Point at Issue.
The people showed great interest in
the talks and il is believed that with
a clear understanding OF the proposi-
ton many more friends viii be made
for annexation.
One particular point at issue is
what disposition would be made of
the acre of ground the village owns
on which the waterworks was to be
erected. If Sears IS taken into the
1ity this will not be needed and fear
vas expressed that the city might
AXE possession OF this ground and
sell IT.
Mayor Schriver, however, allayed |
III of these fears. declaring that like |
y it would be converted into a public |
park for the people in that section. In |
act it could not be sold, since in the /
Iced. there is clause which provides /
hat it must be used for public pur-
,oses.
Promises Improvements.
Mayor Schriver also answered the
question of what the city would give,
" stating that this municipality
would adopt the same methods in
ealing with the people in the new ter
itory as it has in other recently an
exed land, by giving water. fire pro
action, police protection and gas.
He declared that they would have

tated that while good fire protection
