OF unScrupul0uS, fatuouS ScheIl1-
ers, who are hard-pressed for
political buncombe with which
to hoodwink the unsuspecting
and to ensnare the unwary.
There does not exist in Alabama
even the slightest vestige Of any
attempt to dominate the affairs
of the state by any institution
or organization, secular or reli-
gious, that is more responsible
to the mandates Of d foreign
power than to the laws Of this
land"
Now, that is just exactly the
kind of political dope" dished
out to the people Of the great
state of Florida two years ago,
when Mr.. Knott and United
States Senator Nat P. Bryan
'bucked" present Governor Sid
ney ]. Cats and present u. s.
Senator Park Trammell. Brother
Jack O'Connell, editor Of
The Mobile Tribune, and
who resides near the Flor
ida line, doubtless reading
newspapers from that state,
has coached Mr.. Wallace mighty
poorly, for Editor O'Connell is
not ignorant Of what the people
Of the Peninsula state did to the
candidates. of Messrs. Knott and
Bryan. Jack O'Connell knows
well that the electorate Of the
commonwealth next door east
Of his home city slammed hades
out of popery. Messrs. Knott
and Bryan know a great deal
more about this matter than
even he does, for Governor Cats
beat the former, heavily, twice,
and Senator Park Trammell
virtually had no opposition, for
his beat Of Bryan was four to
Ione, the heaviest defeat ever
known in Florida for any state
wide Office. Now, this man
Bryan, particularly, was the
most vicious opponent of the
anti-papal patriotic movement
that any state has put forward
to date land all the vast untold,
and unaudited billions of gold in
the vatican treasury could not
elect him dog-cather in the state
of Florida. His name is "ana-
thema," or Dennis" in the re-
gion Of the 'gater' and the
'glades' land he is the bitterest
white man in the whole South
today.
O'Connell Plays Wallace False
Jack O'Connell has played
you false, John Wallace, and
your Methodist uprearing ought
to have taught you that Roman
Catholics do not ''keep faith
with heretics." Methodist Bry-
an knows this now; Presbyterian
Knott is well aware Of this fact,
and Roman Catholic Jack 0'Con-
nell is chuckling at your po-
litical sap-headednessl Get on
the Lords side, John Wallace,
for you are defeated anyhow.

Wesley said Of popery, act on it,
and let's clean out adherence to

ANOTHER MOLINE
BOY GIVEN RANK
OF LIEUTENANT

Arthur "Ducky" Hallquist, Mo
line, now wears the gold bars on
his shoulders for word has been
received that he has received his
commission as second lieutenant.
The reward comes to him after win
ming his way up from the ranks.
Lieutenant Hallquist at the time
of the Mexican trouble enlisted as a
private and served on the border
with Uncle Sans army. He was
with the first eXpeditionary force
when it went overseas and by that
time had attained the highest non
commissioned rank, that of ser
geant. Reports reached Moline
some time ago that the local boy
had undergone some thrilling expe-
riences at the front and no one
doubts but that he is the first Pillow
city soldier to go over the top.
Twice he has been in the trenches,
according to reports, each time for
a period of 10 days.

FIRE STATIONS
TO Be CUT OUT?
MOIine's Financial Situation May
Necessitate Big Cut in Depart
ments and Higher Fees.

Conferences behind closed doors
took place yesterday at the Moline
city hall and city commissioners
were busy attempting to formulate
plans for running the city without
the additional tax which was voted
down at the polls Tuesday.
To meet the 100000 deficit
which faces the city if things run
as planned, the commission VIII
probably have to drop 10 or IL
members of the fire department
and reduce the police force to five
or six members. 1t may be neces-
sary to even abandon one or two
fire stations. A cut of $4,000 in
the department of public health
and safety will probably be made
and estimates for every other de-
partment will have to be consider
ably reduced.
One commissioner yesterday init
mated that several clashes would
occur before final plans for city re-
trenchments could be made. He
stated that no commissioner want
ed the appropriations for his own
department reduced.
Higher license fees and higher
water rents are also expected to be
inaugurated within a short time.

SUICIDE VERDICT
IN KLEINAU CASE

Henry Kleinau, Hampton town
ship farmer, came to his death by a
gun wound, self-inflicted, accord
ing to the verdict returned yester-
day afternoon by the coroner's jury
in East Moline. At the inquest it
was said that there were no signs
of struggle and that foul play was
entirely improbable. For the past
few days Mr.. Kleinau had been IN
der medical treatment and a NOM
entary unbalancing of the min l
may have ben responsible for the
rash action. He was known to be
a heavy drinker and alcoholism
probably was a contributing factor
in his state of i'll health. It was
brought out that Mr.. kleinau had
always prided himself on the condi-
ton of his farm and that recently
he had fallen behind in his work
This, it was said, may have caused
him worry

SACEN GOES TO
CULVER SCHOOL
Moline High School Instructor, Re-
fused For Army, Soon Leaves
TO Teach at Academy.

Word comes to Moline that Carl
Sagen, former instructor in the
Moline high school, has accepted a
position on the faculty of Culver
Military academy in Indiana. He
expects to take up his new duties
in July. He at first only intended
teaching during the winter term,
but he has been induced by Cap
tain Hunt. principal of the acad-
envy, to instruct during summer
sessions also. History. civics and
economics will be Mr.. Sagen's
subjects.
Some time ago tle local teacher
entered the national army, but at
Camp Dodge was hOnorably dis !
charged for physical reasons. He
then made an attempt to get into
Y. NJ. G. A. work in Chicago. Be-
cause he was of draft age and the
government had ruled against men
Of draft age entering "Y" work,
he was refused there also. For
seven years Mr.. Sagen taught in
this city and during that time has
made many friends whom he will
be sorry to leave and who in turn
will regret to see him 60 In spite
of his desire to enter military ser
vice he feels that further efforts
would be useless and is convinced
that he is aiding Uncle Sam in his
chosen profession to the best Of
his ability.
