Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1915-12-31

Mayor William McConochis, now
filling his fifth term in the mayoralty
chair, was born at Gatehouse, Scot
land. on Jan. II, 1S4T He has lived

in Rock Island since 1867. In 1868
he was united in marriage with Miss
Isabel Kitson, and three sons and
three daughters have blessed their
union.
Mr. McConochie's first election as
mayor OF Rock Island was in 1889, as
a republican, and he was returned in
1891, in 1899, and again in 1908. His
present term of four years. under the
commission form Of government, be-
gan April /. 1915,
Mayor McConoehie brings to his Of
fee the wisdom of long experience-a
valuable asset in dealing with civic
problems and in fostering the inter-
ests Of a great industrial community
Efficiency in public service is the
slogan of a McCouochie administra-
ton, and the history of his four pre-
ceding terms, covering the early and
more formative periods OF municipal
progress, shows many Improvements
began and carried to a successful ter
mination His interest in the fire de-
partment and in the parks and play
grounds Of the city is proverbial.
Back of the mayors record as a
public servant is long and honor
able career in the business world as
a contractor and master builder, In
which his sons, " II. and r. r Nc
Conochie. are now active partners.
Mayor McConoehie is proud
wearer Of the Grand Army button,
having served his adopted country in
l861-1S65, "a-Iuggiug Of musket
with the men from Illinois" He is q
member of the Methodist church and
CT the Masonic fraternity. Genial
and courtly, 4 firm believer in the
future greatness Of Rock Island, H7n.
William McConoohie, mayor Of the
city for the fifth time, is one who may
be said to wear without reproach the
grand old name OF gentleman.

THE NOTE.

The rights Of neutrals in time OF
war are based upon principle, not upon
expediency."
If belligerent cannot retaliate
against an enemy without injuring the
lives Of neutrals, humanity as well as
justice and a due regard for the dig
nifty OF the neutral powers, should die
tate that the practice be discontin-
ued''
The government Of the United
States notes with satisfaction that the
imperial German government recog-
nizes without reservation the validity
Of the principles insisted upon"
The principles are that the high
seas are free, that the character of
the cargo OF a merchantmen must first
be ascertained before she can lawfully
be seized or destroyed, and that the
lives of non comhatants may in no
case be put in jeopardy unless the
vessel resists or seeks TO escape.
The events Of the past TWO months
have clearly indicated that il IS pos
sible and practicable TO conduct sub
marine operations as have character
lied the activity Of the imperial Ger
man navy within the so-called war
zone in substantial accord with the
accepted practices of regulated war
fare"
Friendship itself prompts It 10 say
TO the imperial government that repi-
Tttion by the commanders OF German
naval vessels Of acts in contravertion
OF those rights must he regarded by
The government OF the United States,
when they affect American citizens, as
deliberately unfriendly.''
Ard there we have the position Of
the United States in unmistakaole
terms. We have right TO the free
dom Of the seas, Germany has ac-
Anowledged those rights and it IS up
20 her 70 respect them in the conduct
OF her war or she VIII have committed
an unfrien6ly act. II she finds i in
convenient she had better respect them
anyway for humanity, justice and due
regard for The dignity of neutral pow
ers should dictate that Illegal prac-
,ices be discontinued.
The note IS clear enough. And there
IS hope that ii viii be compiled with,
but # i IS not and an unfriendIy act
IS committed deliberately what then?
The dignity Of neutral power Will
probably dictate.

THE STATE CAPITOL PARK.


The action of the state executive
council this week in fixing the state
| levy for taxes to be collected in 1916
! a, As mills, reduction Of a mills from
last year, brings again to general at
teniion the lengthy controversy of the
! last campaign over the capitol grounds
extension tax levy.
The reduction was made on the item
of capitol extension. Five-tenths OF
a mill was the levy for TWO years. This
has now been collected and paid into
the state treasury and most Of it paid
out again for the purchase of the new
capitol grounds. The reduction to one
| fifth the amount is for the purpose OF
reducing the annual income for capitol
extension to $3.50, goo. This. it was esti-
mated, will be sufficient for remodeling
the grounds and putting them in shape
to make state park OF which every
citizen of Iowa may we'll be proud.
Capitol hill in Des Moines is one OF
the most slightly locations for beau
tiful public building to be found in the
United States. When the design of the
architect is carried out no citizen in
the state Will regret the small per
capita expenditure necessary to bring
about this Improvement.
Iowans will then view the extended
capitol grounds much as the citizens
of johnson and other counties, view the
handsome new courthouses they have
built. In nearly every case there was
warm controversy. and some vigor-
Gus opposition to the levy of the tax,
but after it was all done no one who
had local pride felt grieved over the
enterprise which brought to the county
so much for SO small per, capita ex-
penditure.
In years to come the work of the
last legislature in this direction will
be comparable to the work Of the
earlier legislature which provided for
the 100000 capitol building, which
has been the pride Of the state for
many years.

TSioux CITY Journal.l


The Journal is not disposed to en-
courage any effort to use the Bedford
fiivver in politics to the detriment Of
Attorney General Cosson. It is rather
a good joke that the attorney general
should be one Of the prominent actors
in a three-reel meiodrama dealing
with buried treasure and murder while
you wait. There is, however, nothing
in the record to indicate that the at
torney general was in any way re-
sponsible for the f1uke prosecution. On
the contrary the record shows that the
attorney general was responsible for
exploding torpedo under the case
as soon as an official inquiry disclosed
its emptiness.
The attorney general can hardly be
fairly criticized for investigating when
his attention in official capacity was
called to the remarkable story of the
Porter woman. While his assistants
were investigating the case the arrests
were made and the prosecution insti-
tuted at the instance of the Charlton
attorney who uncovered the mares
nest. Attorney General Cosson said at
the time that the arrests were prema-
ture and that the prosecution did not
seem to have adequate basis. but that
he would follow up the proceedings
with view to disclosing the facts
back OF the extensively advertised
mystery. Having got into the case II
can hardly be said that the attorney
general stayed in too long after the
trend of the examination confirmed
his view that the basis for successful
prosecution, vas wholly lacking In
this connection it is only fair to add
that any assumption that the whole
story was pipe dream is not borne
out by investigation. One of the facts
disclosed in the hearing was that when
one Of the suspects died few years
ago $4,000 in old war time currency
was found concealed in his house. This
was perfectly good money, which waa
later redeemed by the treasury de-
partment No convincing explanation
Of its presence in the house has been
offered.
