Time for a Cleaning

IN recent weeks resolutions have
been passed hy different civic bodies
appealing to the Rock island commis-
sion to see to 2 strfcter enforcement
Of the law as it applies t7 the moral
conditions Of the community. the re-
port OF the last grand jury contain
ing indictments against a saFprlz-
inrlv large number Of places that
we're operating inc defiance Of al mu-
nicipal and state restrictions.
such of these offenders as have been
arraigned lu court tn answer t0 the
grand furry charges have entered
pleas Of guilty and have been assessed
fines and paid them. They have not
been told that they must cease OPP
Grating On the contrary. they have
no reason to feel otherwise than that

the tacit approval Of the authorities.
The city police don't have to have the
vicious spots Of the city pointed out
70 them They know where they ara
and they can rid the city Of them. but
they first must have the authorization
OF their superiors before they serve
the walking papers
Every modern city has more than
its share OF uuc0nCeaIed temptation
without the addition Of the Eubterrsu-
can variety. Certain parts of Rock
Island. according TO the revelations
made by the grand jury is honey
combed with blind pigs and houses
of III repute. resorts that may be pat

the licensed saloon has closed its
doors in conformity with the pr0vis-
ions of the city ordinance Also these
unlicensed places carry on their traf-

Winking at these dives is not
fair to the men who pay q license to
operate bars. Neither is it fair to that

amid all the plans for raising rave-

has proposed one that is worth con

aliens by way of a set-oT for their
immunity to the draft While citizens
Of foreign countries are free TO take up

In the autumn Of 1915 was mate Of
the tramp steamer Mark Andrews. One
morning. when we we're about 500
miles east OF Rio de Jaaeiro. the look

saw that she was numbering along as If

we're swinging on their davits, some Of
the sails we're set enough under the
breeze that was blowing To move her
at about three knots.
I called the captain, who inspected
the vessel and gave orders 70 put our
ship off few points, and when We

The ship was low in rhe water for

It's the Economical Plan.

This is 2 poor time for raising
money. Business conditions are more
or less unsettled ON account of tie
war. Calls for money have been uu-
merous and heavy. The cost of living
is high. In fact the list of difficulties
strings out to infuiry. 1T would have
been hard to find a more unfavorabIe

But the men IN charge of the cam
paign movement have carefully CON
sjdered ali Of these objections and the
reasons for DELAY, and they have con-
Guided that this is the best time 10

for the new hospital building is SO
