Poor Passenger Service.

Much complaint has been made recently Of
inadequate passenger train service between
here and Chicago, especially in regard to
shortage of Pullman and parlor cars for east
bound traffic. Last Sunday alone there are
said to have been 30 people out Of Rock Island
who were unable to secure any accommoda-
tions at all and were forced to stand much of
the way to Chicago.
Plainly there is something radically wrong.
The company no doubt will blame the govern
ment as the most convenient way to escape
responsibility, however unfair it may be. Who
ever is to blame the matter should be
remedied.

Brad's O. Verse
THE BENEFACTOR.

Old Gotrox toiled through weary
wears and shed a sea OF brtny
tears. and worried till his brain
was sore, to stack up gold in good
Nv store. He worked till he was
full of dents, till he had scarcely
any sense, till he was spawned,
halt and lame, and tireG Of life's
hard, grinding game, till he had
wealth in bullying piles and owned
the world for miles and miles. And
then old Gctrox wagged his head
and softly to himself he said: I've
had enough; I'm tired of toll, Of
mart and factory and soil, of daily
task and ceaseless grind; I'll be a
blessing to mankind. a candidate
for sanity grace, a benefactor Of
the race" And so he hired a score
of clerks and made them dig like
bearded Turks. while he himself
toiled night and day to give his
useless wealth away. No respite
did he ever find, no rest Ior weary
bone and mind; ne ioiled o..
wrinkled, gray and old, distribu-
ting that rusty gold. The world
is full of dubs and chumps. but
Gotrox leads by 40 jumps.

You made a mistake in leaving
your husband for so long a time.
1t is no wonder he got tired OF
waiting for you. After a girl mar
ries her duty is with her husband
regardless of the fact that she suf-
fers from inconsistencies at times.
Your husbands letter indicated
nothing. Perhaps he thinks that
too much eaEeTness on his part
would make you less anxious TO re-
turn TO him He is giving you
taste of indifference. Probably
when he returns he will go TO you
and see what can be done to adjust
matters.

Experts in the labor department at Wash
ington have made the discovery that the lower
a mans salary the greater portion OF it goes
for food and rent. This is startling, to say
the least. Next may expect the department,
if it continues its investigation, to find that the
income of a woman who has to buy food and
pay rent is also mostly spent on those two
items.

GREAT STEP

GREAT STEP
TOWARD PEACE.
The league OF nations is the
greatest step toward peace in a
thousand years. The idea Of substi-
tuting reason for force in the settle
nent or International disputes is in
itself an epoch making advance. The
constitution OF the league of nations
as announced provides for three
things which constitute in them
selves an advantage, the Importance
OF which can scarcely be estimated.
Deliberation before war-the inves-
tigation OF all disputes Of their kind
and character before hostilities be-
gin. This almost ends war. The idea
is taken from the thirty treaties
negotiated by the United States with
three-quarters OF the world. Our
nation therefore gives TO the peace
league its greatest piece Of machin-
cry. Second the reduction Of arma-
ments will make il impossible for a
nation to prepare for war without
notifying the world Of its intention.
Third. the abolition of secret treaties
which will do much TO prevent the
combinations which lead TO war. If

IGNORANCE NOT
A GOOD EXCUSE.
Motor Vehicle Drivers and Owners
Fined and Reprimanded in
Magistrates Court

Pleas of ignorance of the Illinois
laws pertaining to motor vehicles
and their operators are being dis
regarded by Magistrate c. J.
Smith in the police court.
John Caffery, W. o. Fisk and l.
c. Hines were arraigned before
Magistrate Smith yesterday and
today after arrest on charges OF
violating the motor vehicle laws
Caffery, who drives for the Martin
Woods company of Davenport, was
arrested this morning and found TO
be using a chauffeur's license is
sued to another person. He had
no 1919 license plates on his car.
He was fined SIS.
Fisk drives for another Daven-
port concern and was driving with
out a chauffeur's license. He paid
fine of SIS.
Hines is a salesman for a Dav-
export tire company and was ar
rested yesterday. He pleaded ig-
norance of the law that required
a driver making deliveries to have
q drivers license. While he said
that he seldom brought over goods
to Rock Island, his confession to
having delivered several tires for
the convenience of customers"
was suffic ient to bring about a
charge against him. He was
fined SIS.
The state law requires that a
driver of a motor vehicle used to
deliver must have a license. If the
driver is only soliciting or collect
ing money. ETC., no license is re-
quired.
Each motor vehicle used COM
mercially in Rock Island and be-
longing in Davenport must be
equipped with an Illinois license
as well as an Iowa one
