A Bathing Beach Site.

Colonel Jordan is right in saying that Rock
Islands river front does not offer a suitable
site for a bathing beach. For many feet out
from shore the water is always full of sewage
and unfit, especially in the hot summer months
for people to disport themselves in
1t would not be so bad if only this city's
sewage were to be contended with, for that
would be carried down along the shore and it
might be possible for bathers to get beyond it
into the stream, but equal amount comes
from Moline, together with the, oil and other
factory refuse of the manufacturing district of
the Plow city. Sylvan slough is polluted from
shore to shore and that is the water, with this
city's sewage added in which Rock Island bath
would have to swim if the beach were laid
out in front of or below this city.
1t is agreed that typhoid fever is readily
communicated by river water and there are
other diseases which could also be similarly
carried. Bathers cannot avoid getting water
in their mouths and nostrils and so the bathing
beach as proposed would be a center of
infection.
1t is true as Mayor Schriver contends, that
the current from the foot of Seventeenth stree:
sets out toward the center of the stream ami
much of the sewage is carried away from shore.
but obviously the shore water still is drawn
from-the contaminated flow and the objection
is not removed
Rock Island ought to have a bathing place,
but until a different method of sewage dis
posal is adopted there will be place for one
on the city's river front. The west end of the
sen,l island still offers the most convenient Site
but the consent of the department would
have to be secured, special arrangements would
have to be made so as to avoid interference
with traffic on Fort Armstrong avenue and
much expense would be incurred for prepare
ton and maintenance of the beach, To make
such an undertaking a success the cooperation
of Davenport would be desirable.
Unless the island site can be made avail
able Rock Island should give up the idea of
beach on the Mississippi and look to Rock river
or the canal. The latter is becoming increas-
ingy popular, especially just above the Silver
lake lock- where scores are to be seen swim
ming every evening. The principal objection
to the canal is its inaccessibility. 1t can be
conveniently reached only by automobile and
there is not room in the roadway to park many
machines. Then the place where there is
suitable bank is too small to accommodate
more than about a hundred swimmers.
The canal probably offers the best bet in
the bathing beach line for Rock Island, but it
needs fixing and Uncle Sans consent and CO.
operation will have to be secured if it is to be
made of general use

The president faces numerous political en-

even willing to themselves go down into po-

Speaking for the Farmer.

1t is to be doubted IL there has been as
much Of protest by the producers against
cheapening of prices of beef cattle and lambs
a. one would gather from reading the news
papers. More than likely most of the noise is
being made by men who depend for their Iiv-
ing upon services rendered or merchandise sold
to the farmer.
Last summer there was an effort in con-
gress to advance the price of wheat to $3.50
per bushel and it only prevented by firm
stand on the part of President Wilson. 1t was
claimed that the wheat growers of the north
west were ready to 60 on the warpath if the
advance failed and their supposed belligerence
was made much OF in congress by members
from that section of the country.
At the time the alleged agitation was at it's
height canvass of the situation was made by
a travelling man whose territory included Min
nesota, North and South Dakota and Montana.
He reported later than he never heard a farmer
complain in regard to the base price of 1926
for wheat The entire campaign was being
waged on the producers behalf by self-appotnt-
ed champions serving, or wishing to serve in
congress or the state legislatures. AID by people
whose prosperity depended upon the amount of
money the farmer was able to spend.

gated now chances are a similar situation

The Presidents Return.

President Wilson is back from Europe to
tell what was done at the peace conference,
and why. The nature of his reception at New
York shows that the people have been and are
back of him in his endeavors and are going
to themselves give him a fair hearing and to
insist upon at least respectful attention on the
part of his political enemies
The next few weeks will be unusually busy
ones even for 3 war president. In the period
since his departure much has happened in this
country that he does not know about His
mind while in Europe was pretty fully occu-
pied with international affairs. Those who
HAYS seen him say he is years older than when
he left and his hair has whitened perceptibly
The ordeal has taxed his physical as well as
his mental capacity.
