Moultrie Observer: Should there be
a strike of railroad employees, lasting
for number of weeks, there would
result such a sentiment against the
private ownership of railroads that
they would never recover from it. No
matter who is to blame in this con-
troversy between the railroads and la
tor, the people would soon become i'm
patient with strike on, and they
would be calling out for railroad ser
vice by the government.

Carroll County Times: Superinten-

back declined to leave the states ser

Britain. An office is not a private

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-08-16

Miss Emily Granger, a maiden lady
of 80 and nervous, had never been so
miles from her quiet country home.
Then came the announcement that an
aunt had died and left her house and
| lot in a distant city. There was a
mortgage of $1,000 on It, which Miss
Granger desired to pay off. No other
| way of doing this suggested itself to
| her than to take currency TO the per-
son holding the mortgage and receive
| in return a release. So she drew the
money from her bank and started on
| her journey.
Now, the problem before her Of TAX
| ing care OF herself was quite enough
| thousand dollars. She arrived at her
destination at IL o'clock at night and
was driven to q hotel A night clerk
received her and told her that the only
room he could give her contained two
beds, and one of them was already
occupied by a lady. Since there was
but one other hotel in the place and
that was undesirable Miss Granger
was Obliged to accept a roommate.
Being shown to the room, she no
ticed that the two beds were at OPP
posite ends of it. On one side was
the door opposite which was a window.
The roommate was apparently asleep,
Miss Granger disrobed. and, taking the
money from that part of her clothing
in which she had pinned it, she put it
under her pillow. Then she went to
bed and to sleep.
She was awakened by hearing some
one moving in the room and that
which resembled a white cloud passing
across a dark sky passed without fur
Their sound to the door and seemed to
go through without opening it. Miss
Granger raised herself in bed and kept
her eyes fixed on the apparition, re-
pressing a desire to scream until it
had disappeared. Then it occurred to
her that what she had seen was her
roommate This led her to thrust her
hand under her pillow. Her money
was gone.
Getting out of bed, she turned on a
light. True enough, the woman was
gone, and so was her clothing. Near
the door a stocking lay on the floor.
Miss Granger picked it up. A wad of
something in it was evident. Miss
Granger, with woman's intuition,
thrust in her hand and withdrew a roll
of bills.
Miss Granger was counting the roll
of bills when she heard persons in the
hall. Hastily turning off the light, she
jumped into bed She had scarcely
done so when the door was opened,
and the night clerk, entering, turned
on the light He was followed by a
half dressed woman.
This LADY, said the clerk, accuses
you of having stolen some money be-
longing to her"
That's exactly what the horrid thing

does normal salt" mean2
Answer-It is a salt solution APP
proximately the same saline strength
as the tears or the normal blood
serum. Tablets may be had contain
ing exactly the right quantities OF the
several saline constituents or the
blood serum; or a level teaspoonful oil
table salt may be dissolved in pint
of water which has been freshly boiled.

long as they do their work satisfac-
torily. and no effort has been made to
dislodge them. No republican presi-
dental postmaster has been suppressed
ed until the expiration of his commits
sion. Many have held beyond their
appointed time, and in some of the
large cities republican postmasters
are still in Office, and in the executive
division of every branch OF the public
service this is likewise true.
On the other hand, republicans on
returning to the control of the govern
ment 20 years ago cut democrats right
and left, repudiated presidential com
missions and hungrily turned demo-
Gratis out of Office before they had com
pleted their terms
And speaking of the -favoring Of rel
atives, one need go no further than
Moline to cite an instance In that
city President Mckinley overTuled the
claims of many deserving republicans
and placed his cousin in the office OF
postmaster, and Notwithstanding that
the act was resented in Moline, the ap-
pointee proved. as far as The Argus
knows, a good postmaster. But it was
a conspicuous case of taking care of
the relatives wherever they were
found, just the same, and it was only
one of thousands, in the face of which
Mr.. Hughes charges are not only far
fetched, but actually funny.
