1t was hardly to be expected that the city could
weather the loss OF 100000 a year in with
out some inconvenience. This added tax, if ap-
proved by voters is expected to insure against
essened efficiency in any city department. Leaders in
the fight against the saloon at the spring election
foresaw what has come pass and promised their

might suggest. Endorsement by Charles J. Mac

The River Tragedy.

There have been other drownings in or near ROCK
island. some causing the loss more than one
life and some IN which people OF prominence fig
ured but there has been no such accident which so
appalled the community as that which took place
last evening. SIX boys between the ages OF and
II were the victims. Words sympathy to the be
raaved families especially the family from which
three members were taken, afford but small conso-
Iatiou in this tine Of overwhelming grief. Nothing
that can be written or spoken can heal the wounds
of hearts torn asunder.
All that can be done is to point out once
more the lesson that the tragedy holds for those who
live on the rivers banks applies alike to chill
dren and adults. The danger of the great stream
Is ever present especially those who do not under
stand the perils it holds. Il not the fault OF
these children that they did realize, though
they had been warned by their parents Pers of this
sort seem remote to the young, who need protection
from them as well as warning.
1t is dangerous for those of tender years to play
along the river banks but OF all. it is inviting
disaster to make it possible them out the
river in a boat unaccompanied by adults A skif to
which children have access is more dangerous than
loaded firearms and the Of the former should be
hedged about with precautions strict those in
force in connection with latter. The protection of
children whose homes are near the river demands I'M

agents of the Kaiser"

You will do well to read the following from the
Prairie Farmer:
There are two classes of men who are working
the kaiser truly if they his payroll.
The first is composed of who running the
chances for a crop thousands of acres of
Illinois land by selling seed corn grown so far
south that it cannot possibly mature crop here In
many cases these selling such as Hi
nois grown seed, which adds the crime. Others
are selling corn OF so low or weak termination
that much of it VIII never get through the ground
The men who seeking to get rich quick by
selling such seed do wear field gray uni
forms. Many Of them have good American names
But unproductiye acres all over Illinois will bear
mute witness this their faithful service to
the kaiser
The second class Of German agents are the stock
statesmen who infest the country districts seeking
feather their by separating farmer from
OF his crop profits. These are taking
money that should go into Liberty bonds They are
cutting of the nations war revenue at its source
They should have a 5OO-pound iron cross hung about
their secks and be dumped into the river

We're printing bonds and saw

build our camps, and we're the
folks to spread it. It takes a
lot of ready dough to buy our
shells and rifles. and we must go
ahead and show that millions
rank as triffes. To pay for ships
and motor trucks we shell out
and deliver. We raise another
billion bucks without a single

SIR: How many civilians are able
to perform the following stunts,
which every soldier must do and
does.
Run 100 yards in 20 seconds with
a 60-puund pack, including a gun,
strapped to the back.
. Chin up 10 times.
Scale q five foot wall three times
in succession.
Place q 100 pounds weight on a
six foot wall.
Carry a heavy machine gun with
a tripod for 100 yards at run.
Climb a 20 foot rope in 20 sec
onds.
From the above we gather that
life in the army is about as difficult
as filing a column such as this.
