GAINING IN SEA POWER.

In speed, displacement and guns, the
battlesIip Pennsylvania. which went
into commission at Norfolk June u,
marks an advance over the Oklahoma,
which was delivered to the navy on
May 5. The PennsyIvanias speed was
y knots, she carried twelve 14-inch
guns and her displacement is $4,000
tons. The Oklahoma has a speed Of
2O.5 knots, a displacement Of 1880
tons and carries ten 14inch guns.
AS compared with the newest Brit
ish battleships Of the Queen Elizabeth
class, the New York World says the
Pennsylvania is their superior except
in speed" The Queen Elizabeth, War
spite and Malaga are rated as super
dreadnaughts Of % knots, 27 800 tons
and carry eight 15-inch guns each. The
Warspite in the North sea engagement
was disabled by a German torpedo
and towed home: after service at the
/ DardaneIles the Queen Elizabeth was
| forced to undergo repairs, due in part,
/ it was reported, TO the action of her
| own heavy guns.
! Those alarmists who are panic
stricken over the immense inferiority
Of the United States navy and com
plain that nothing is done to bring It
up to the standards Of foreign navies,
( ignore certain very important facts.
Six more battleships of the Pennsyl-
vania class, the Arizona, New Mexico,
/ Mississippi, Idaho, Tennessee and Cal
| if0rnia, are today under construction
or have been authorized by congress.
/ In size and guns they will all outrank
any Of the super-dreadnaughts Of the
navies engaged in the war in Europe
With the building program nov
under consideration in congress it is
a question whether American ship
yards will be able to meet the demands
made upon them by the government
in the upbuilding of the navy. But
while the United States is rapidly
adding to its naval strength, Germany
and Great Britain are destroying eact
others navies and are bound to come
ont of the war in weakened condition

and even thousands of the worms in
the body, the loss of blood is very seri-
Gus. But this loss is not all. To make
the blood more fluid and easier to suck,
the hookworm pours into the blood a
constant stream of poison acid, at the
same time it is steadily making minute
sores on the organs it has attached it
SELF to.
The effects of a large number OF
hookworms in the system is shown
chiefly in the blood. This becomes
thin and watery, loses its normal red,
becomes almost colorless and cannot
sustain the body. The result is ex-
IRENE psllor, the skin assumes a pasty,
tallow-yellow hue and is rough and
deeply lined.
In severe cases the hair is coarse
and dry, the face swollen and puffy
the abdomen and often the feet and
legs may be enlarged, the mind is dull
and the victim is slow to understand
and to reply to questions. This may
go on until the patient is bed-ridden
or unable to work.
While hookworm Is a disease to be
dreaded it is now easily cured. All
that has to be done is to drive the
worms from the system and the pa
tient will get well Of himself.
The most successful treatment is
thymol. This isea gum with a pun
gent, pleasant odor obtained from
the Towering shrub, thyme which was
grown in all old-time gardens. This
remedy is given by mouth and under
normal conditions has no i'll effect on
the patient.

HONESTY ADMITTED.

Surely no one can accuse Mark Sui
Ivan Of Golfers Weekly of being a
Wilson partisan. In fact, Sullivan has
been severe critic Of the admins
tTation. Especially interesting and
particularly timely therefore at this
stage Of the campaign is the following
from Sullivan's column in the current
issue Of Golfers:
4 good many folks have not liked
the way President Wilson has run the
government, and for the next few
months they will be giving free rein
TO their opinions on the subject. In
the deluge of this criticism it would
be worth while to pause and remember
what we have to be grateful for. There
is no criticism of Mr.. Wilson's hon
esty; there is not even much criticism
of his political honesty. Nobody seri-
Ously charges him with using his pat
ronage TO further his political adyan-
tage-at least he hasn't done it any
more than, if as much as, other presi-
dents, democratic and republican. No
body doubts Mr.. Wilson's good inten-
tons. All the criticism centers around
honest differences of opinion as to
methods and as to what are the best
ends. For the. most part, it comes
down to the same kind of difference of
opinion that gives interest TO horse
races, high schaol debates and poll
tics 1t ought 10 be possible to state
this kind of differences of opinion
without hurting anybody's feelings or
lmputtng unworthy motives to anv-
body"

FOREIGN INVESTMENTS.

The current number of the New Re
public contains an article by Frederic
{. Howe on The Flag and the In
vestOr,' with editorial comment there
on. Both the article and the comment
are worthy Of thoughtful consideration.
Mr.. Howe advances the proposition
that competition for investment op-
portunities is at bottom responsible
for most Of the aggression and inter-
national strife that have occurred
since 1880 and the New Republic says
editorially that this will be disputed
by hardly anyone who has made a
study of recent history.
Mr.. Howe warns this country
against acceptance of the principle
that the flag protects the property of
the national investor abroad AMI
would let our capitalists, who choose
to invest in regions where property
is unsafe, carry their own risks. He
would not have the United States, in
imitation of European nations, employ
diplomatic pressure, far less military
force, in the defense OF such property
interests.
tAlhtLi4A5 tAill DO a ItSulL VI
financial imperialism, the liberties of
weak and defenseless peoples have
been lost the New Republic does not
agree with Mr.. Howe on what is the
proper policy for the United States u
adopt. 1t well says that the evils of
colonial exploitation will not disap-
pear because the United States washes
its hands Of them. Continuing it says
We may refuse to recognize the
validity of concessions granted TO our
citizens. This would mean only that
We hghtened the competition for Brit
ish, French and German concession
hunters; or, If not this, that our con-
cession hunters would operate through
London. Paris or Berlin. II we wish
really to tributa=to the solution bf

ENCOURAGING INDUSTRY.

The Argus of yesterday printed an
announcement that means much to the
industrial future Of the city of Rock Is
land. 1t was from the Moline Pillow
company and concerned occupancy
with large shops of its property in the
east end Of the city The company
owns approximately twenty acres north
of Fifth avenue, the tract including
the Old Gordon place and a block to
the east of it. The plow company is
manufacturing q farm tractor that is
said to be one OF the best on the mar
ket.
The new shops will be largely occu-
pied with turning out this machine
Erection of the buildings will be COM
menced at once. 1t is said more than
a thousand men will be given employ
ment at the start. The pillow company,
whose main plant is in Moline, is
crowded in that city. 1t needs room
TO expand. 1t has property in Rock
Island that it proposes to use.
The Argus does not know that the
Moline Pillow company needs any CO.
operation at the hands of the Rock Is
land city commission, or its CONNER
cial organizations, in connection with
development of its property in the east
end of the city, but if it does it should
be necessary only for it to make it's
wants known. Rock Islands greatest
need today is factories. When a CON
Germ OF the standing of the Moline Plow
company comes to us We should give it
every encouragement within our power
to make it feel that it is welcome.

The stagecoach drew up in front OF
tavern in New Mexico. A young
man with light hair and a mild blue
eye alighted and was going into the
house when a man with red bloated
face covered with stubbie beard stop
ped him and said:
You're the purtiest boy we ever seen
in these parts, and them clothes air
jist too beautiful for an angel. Come
in and have drink
Thank you. I've never touched
drop Of liquor in my life
"Well, it's time you begun. Come
on"
He took the young man by the arm
The youngster resisted and struck the
ruffian in the face. There was re-
port, and the youngster fell.
Two weeks after that the man with
the red face and stubble beard was
standing on the tavern porch when the
daily coach drove up at the same time
Of day that the blue eyed boy had ar
rived. The door opened, and the same
boy got out He was very pale, but ne
had the same light hair and blue eyes
as the other. The man with the red
beard gave back step or two as
though he had seen ghost.
"Im looking" said the new arrival
in a voice that seemed to come from
the tomb, "for a man called Hawkins.
Can any of you gentlemen tell me
where | can find him"
The strangers attention was direct
ed to the man with the red beard.
Would you like to have me drink
with you, sir?" asked the newcomer.
Hawkins seemed tongue tied A
pallor stood on his usually red face,
and he was trembling.
~ don't feel like drink jist now
he said.
Perhaps you would Ike Il game.
NV name Is Mors. It's a name taken
from a dead language. I've come to
this country for the man who killed
another two weeks ago because he
wouldn't drink with him. Either Mors
or Hawkins must cease to live. Cards
are an easier way Of settling the mat
ter than guns. Come; let's have a
game of euchre."
Taking Hawkins by the arm, he led
him into the barroom. Hawkins seem
ed bereft of the power to resist and
seated himself at the same table with
the stranger. A pack OF cards was
produced, and Mors fixed them for
euchre, mixed them, cut them and
dealt a hand for himself and the man
before him. Hawkins took up his
cards mechanically, but did not see
them. His eye was fixed on the man
who had come back from the dead, he
doubted not, to drag him down into
the grave.
THE best three in five wins" said
the stranger.
The first game he won, for Hawkins

SMALL POLITICS.

AS an evidence Of the extent to
which the metropolitan press is con-
troled by the republican party the Chi
cago Herald, an alleged Independent
newspaper. may be cited For a year
the Herald has been carrying at the
head OF its editorial columns, under a
cut OF the American flag, this excerpt
from President Wilson's first note of
warning to Germany, following the
sinking OF the Lusitania; America
asks nothing for herself but what she
has a right TO ask for humanity itself. i"
Since the republican nominations the
flag is still carried by the Herald, but
Wilson'S patriotic utterance has ceased
to appear.

played without giving any attention
to the game. The second Hawkins
made an attempt to pull himself to-
gether, but did not succeed. The
stranger won again. In the third game
Hawkins played bis cards without
looking at them. He lost.
| Mors deliberately pulled pistol from
his pocket, keeping his eye on the
other, and as deliberately pointed It
at Hawkins. who seemed paralyzed.
making no effort whatever to draw his
weapon. The stranger, keeping his
eye fixed on him, said:

to this country to locate here. and you

no law in this country except gun law,

his equanimity, and he was about to
put up a fight. The avenger saw it.
/ and his own eye indicated that at the
slightest motion to draw his weapon

Gentlemen" said the stranger, Il
would much prefer that you would re-
lieve me of disagreeable duty. I was
very i'll when the news Of my brothers
death reached me and have not yet re-
covered. Don't you think that your
town would be well rid of this hend
| and that as respectable citizens it is
up to you to do what is not fit task
for a sick man? Say the word. Shall
I shoot him, or will you take him out
and swing him?'
A man standing behind Hawkins,
who had suffered from him, but feared
him, jerked Hawkins gun from his
hip, then said to the dozen men stand
| ing about:
Gents, will you let this sick boy do
what it has long been our duty to do?
This desperate has killed FIVE men in
four months, and for no good reason.
