AN MsUPERABLE OBSTACLE

The Democratic organ OF this city
yesterday editorially espoused the can
>Sidacy OF the Hon. Clarence W. Wat
son for the United States Senate. oas-
ing its preference on the communica-
ton OF an unidentified West Virginia
Democrat" who claims that the people
Of the State he has interviewed are
crying with great "gusto" for Clarence.
Possibly. But The Intelligencer sees
an insuperable obstacle intrudtng.
which obviously eliminates the Fair
mont patriot and soldier from the con
, test, an obstacle which the Register
in its haste to join the colors over
looks BY rallytng to the wrong flag.
It has been but short while ago
that Mr.. Watson was decorated. true
and deserving Democrat that he IS,
with commission as Colonel in the
United States army. his tactical and
warning experiences on the front party
lines commencing him 10 the gracious
consideration OF the Commander OF t'la
Army and Navy Of the United States,
who these days IS busily engaged III
seeking men OF merit and proved aeli:-
ties to lead our brave, boys in battle
Col Watson's services in the army are
absolutely Indispensable. and its mo-
rAe would be TOO seriously disturbed
by his withdrawal from active duty 20
be thought Of For him It IS now The
soldiers chaplet and not the toga OF
Senatorial dignity.
Il is to be regretted for the sake
OF the peace and harmoay OF the Demo
cratic party OF West Virginia 'hat Col
Watson will fad 1t impossible 70 be
relieved OF his important military du
ties at this crieica! period. when the
country expects every swivei chair to
be oiled and armed. Unde- these cir
cunS.ances Col Watson absolutely
will be unavailable for the Senatorial
sacrifice.

CHILD WELFARE
CAMPAIGN WILL
CLOSE THIS WEEK

The child welfare campaign con-
Quoted under the local committee,
council of defense. will be closed
up this week and it is therefore in
cumbent upon those mothers who
have not yet had their children list
ed to do so at once Rock Island
county is making an earnest effort
to win the banner offered by Mrs
+. o. Lowden, wife of the states
chief executive, to the county show
ing the largest percentage of chill
dren examined.
1t has been proved that one out
Of every seven children dies from
preventable causes. This large per-
centage of deaths is found not
alone in the families of the poor,
but frequently among those who
should know and appreciate the
care the baby needs. The causes
attributable to the early death of
children are mal-nutrition, ignor-
ance in the care of the infant and

carelessness in its feeding and
otherwise.
At the outbreak of the United
States part in the war it was found
that large numbers of men were
declared physically unfit as the re-
suit OF causes that could have been
prevented or remedied in their
early childhood.
Mothers are therefore urged to
at once see to it that their children
under years of age are weighed
and measured and listed in order
to help check the unnecessary
slaughter OF little ones. Their Co
operation will assist the state in
it's big undertaking and the move
ment should interest every woman.
/, The West End Settlement will be
open tomorrow from to 3 for the
weighing and measuring Of chill
dren and the office of Or. +. NJ.
Sala is open for the same purpose
any afternoon after $50 o'clock.
This week, then, will see the
close OF the campaign in the in
terest of children and in order that
the citys record may be 100 per
cent. mothers should delay no
longer.
