Especial to The Argus.)

Springfield. H. March 10
Attorney General Bruhdage
stated today TO The Argus rep
resentatiFe that he would take
no immediate action toward
closing saloons or alleged
houses OF prostitution in Rock
Island. "The federal govern
ment is doing very well in the
matter" said Mr.. Brundage,
"'and will cooperate with It."
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-03-19

The above dispatch indicates that
the attorney general is satisfied
with the manner in which United
States Marshal V. Y. Dallman and
his forces are handling the situa-
ton in Rock Island. Though the
government operatives have not
been at work more than 10 days
great strides have been made in
driving vice from the city and
clearing out liquor violators.
Two dozen or so of men and
women have been placed under ar
rest during the past week and
many of them bound over the fed
eral grand jury at Peoria. One
thing has been made plain, that the
people of this community must live
up to the government regulations
laid down in the half-mile dry zone
and five-mile sanitary zone. No
quibbling will be tolerated. No
fayoritism has been shown thus
far, the same punishment being
meted out to all alike. A majority
of the cases handled by the fed
eral forces have been for violation
Of the liquor regulations, some
through ignorance of the regula-
tons.
The laws are being enforced to
the letter.

Mr.. F. A. Losekamp arrived here
last week from Elk River, Idaho,
where he is engaged in developing
a mine. Mr.. Losekamp still owns
valuable town property here and if
he cashes in on that mining property
he may again become permanent
resident. F. A. is a progressive citi-
zen and we would be pleased to have
him take up his permanent residence
here.
Mr.. H. C. Peters stopped off here
Wednesday on his way to Spokane.
He still makes his home in Seattle
where he deals in real estate as he
did when here fourteen years ago,
when he plated and sold what is
known as the Cascade orchard tracts
south of town. He says Seattle is
very lively and the trouble now is to
find a place to house all the people
who are coming there to make their
home.

THE REPUBLICAN DECLARATION

In an eloquent and characteristic
address Mr.. Will Hays, the dynamic
chairman of the Republican national
committee, delivered on Thursday at
Grand Rapids, he sounded again the
keynote of the Republican party.
"The republican party" he declared,
"says to the country-Stand by the
war. And in this declaration of pur-
pose is included the slogan which the
Democratic party seems to have
adopted, Stand by the president a
duty which republicans have assumed
as a matter of course as to all that
the great office implies. 1t includes
far more than this; it Includes
stand by every public official, high
and low, measured by the thorough
ness with which that public official
stands by the war; stand by the gov
eminent; stand by this country; stand
by our allies; stand by our soldiers
in France; stand by every effort fol
war saving and giving in this coun-
try; stand by the irreducible mini
mum of peace terms so splendidly
enunciated by Senator Lodge; stand
by the war aims of this country, to
vindicate American rights, interests
and honor, to forever end the intol-
cradle arrogance of that scientifically
trained brutality, to forever end Prus-
sianism in the world and the oppres-
sion which it typifies, and make GER
tain forever the inability of militarism
German or otherwise, again to dis
turb the peace of the world; stand
against an inconclusive peace, and
stand for a peace with victory.
"All this we say-Stand by the war
and for this purpose we dedicate the
last of our blood and our treasure"
Every republican leader, every re-
publican newspaper, every republi-
can voter will applaud that declara-
ton and stand by it to the end. AS
Mr.. Hays in another passage says;
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-10-25
HERE AND THERE.

The soldiers are going right ahead,
stopping for neither food nor rest as
long as their legs will carry them.
With them it is no question of hours
nor wages, but a simple question of
duty. How about some of our in
dustrial workers who have been
ranked on the same plane with the
soldiers? De we ever hear of the
wonderful sacrifices of labor? Hardly!
What we do hear on the part of those
who condone the shortcomings of or
ganized labor is that their reluctance
to subscribe to the Liberty loans was
due to the high cost of living; to the
delayed decision of the Macy board
to the fact that they are living from
hand to mounth! This is of course
ridiculous. Labor is better off now
than ever before. They now have a
chance to save, and it would seem
that out of sheer gratitude for their
exemption from military duty and for
their bettered condition that they
would need no solicitation whatever
to get them to subscribe their quota.
However, the ingratitude of some
labor organizations is nothing new.
1t is part of the creed of those bodies,
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-10-25
UNPREJUDICED OPINION NOW
WANTED.

There cannot be any compromise
upon principle. Congress is the law
making body. To enact laws advised
ly, it must have facts. To have facts
complete and uncolored, congress must
get those facts through committee
composed of an equal number of
members of each party. The basis
for reconstruction legislation should,
therefore, be procured by a joint COM
mittee such as proposed by Senator
Weeks-a committee selected by and
acting under the exclusive jurisdic-
ton and control of congress. The
president is in no position to appoint
an unprecedented body for the study
of reconstruction. He has entered
upon certain schemes of government
ownership and control, which, as a
matter of personal vanity and politi-
cal interest, he is bound to defend.
Any commission selected by him will
feel the obligation to secure facts and
make reports showing in as favorable
light as possible the results of gov
ernment-control experiments. A COM
mittee of congress, on the other hand,
made up of an equal number of re-
publcans and democrats, would have
no preconceived or established poll
cies to defend or denounce. From the
standpoint of both principle and ex-
pediency therefore, the committee
should be selected entirely by con-
gress, with no participation whatever
by the president.
