AN AUsPICIoUs OUTLOOK.

CNational City Bank of New YorR.)
 The New Year dawns with fair promise upon the United States. We may well be thankful for all the blessings we enjoy, and have a com passionate and generous spirit toward all the peoples who have suffered the ravages of war or are prostrate under the greater terrors of anarchy and disorder. The joy of the Christmas season has been saddened in many homes of this country, and we have many questions of great importance to deal with. but our losses and prob lems are small compared with those which distress and perplex the coun- tries of Europe.
 The war has not impaired the re- sources of the country. It's produc- tive caFacity in, all lines is greater than ever. and the exertions which our people have been called upon to make in the war have been calculated to awaken and stimulate their pow CTS.

The ener- gies of the whole world for four years have been largely devoted to the war, to the neglect of normal development and all avoidable expenditures The reaction from this must come. Ac- counts from all over Europe show that supplies of all commodities are dc) ated and prices high. As ship
 room becomes available there is every reason to expect a. good outflow of goods, and when the movement gets under way markets here will be sta bilised and confidence in the price level established. Moderate and grad ual reductions are to be expected,

membered that there is only about dollars
worth for each individual in this supply and
that will not go very far. Also, it has been

the precipitate tumble of market quotations

ALL the people were becoming accustomed to
walking or employing other means of trans
portation. Between two and three hundred
jtney busses-operatin it is true. at dime
a throw-were running in the three cities and
more were getting into the field daily, and
their operators were all making money, # re-
ports are TO be credited.
Gasoline, which cut so heavily into the rev

no small part in bringing the strike to an end
with substantial victory for the employees
Automobile permits, issued by Rock Island
were due to expire tomorrow. The company
was anxious to prevent their renewal and to
force their retirement under the permanent in
junction which automatically becomes effective
when municipal consent to operate is with
drawn.
Everybody will be glad to see the cars run
ming once more. Though they may not be a
necessity and their absence from the streets
has facilitated motor traffic. no one will deny
that they are great convenience and decidedly
preferable even in warm weather. to iitney
buses. Let us hope that this definitely ends
the wage controversy.

Naming a Ship.

Rock Island is unusually honored in being
permitted to name two ships OF the United
States merchant feet. One already is sailing
the deep bearing the name of this city its
PROV. The cognomen for the other remains
to be selected, and The Argus has been author
lied to receive suggestions to be passed upon
BY the local Liberty loan organization, headed
by Frank Mixter. Tire time to make a choice
has been shortened because of misunder-
standing, so no names will be received after
next Saturday Give the matter some thought
and send in what you consider most fitting.
1t is understood that the committee will
favor name of special local significance
one which. If possible, will be instantly asso-
ciated with Rock Island by those who see it,
wherever the ship may carry it-certainly one
which will convey the connection TO anyone
even remotely acquainted with the city and its
history. Finding appropriate name is not
so simple as it may seem.
Put your thinking cap and send The
Argus the fruits of your mental effort.

Justice for Fitzgerald.

Refusal of lawyers to defend a criminal
does not necessarily mean that justice is
doomed to miscarry. In the case of Thomas
Fitzgerald. the Chicago monster, the reverse
is true. 1t means that chances favor a fair
trial-fair to the public well as to the de-
PENDANT.
The court has been trying to find attor-
ney willing to represent Fitzgerald. but with
out success. No matter how badly members of
the profession need the business or the adver-
Using they feel that they cannot afford to be
associated with a cause which is thoroughly
disreputable- The fact that the defendant has
money may also have something to do
with it.
OF course counsel eventually will be found
and the trial will take place with due regard
for the forms of law, and the defendant will
get about what is coming to him and get it
without waste of time. Dissemination of law
yers to fight his battle for him means that
there viii be diIatory tactics-no effort to
take advantage of technicalities which usually
constitutes nine-tenths of the program Of de-
tense in a case where guilt is so clearly estab
lished as it is in this one.

STARTING THINGS.

A weary granger viewed his
farm with looks of pity and alarm.
His faith grew dim and gloom pre-
vailed; his hope and courage al
most failed; for whitening winds
commenced to blow and fields
dropped in the suns hot glow; and
east or west or north or south
there seemed no respite from the
drouth. Then came little drop of
rain and looked upon the scorch-
ing plain. I'm such a small and
helpless mite: what could | do to
stop that blight? 1t takes so much
to start a food. 1 surely cannot do
much good; but I'm a friend to
struggling man; I'll do the very
best can" So saying, from the
cloud it dropped. and down into a
cornfield Topped; and then its
brother came along and beckoned
to the hating thFong; they trailed
that drop in fiocks and droves, and
soaked the blighted fields and
groves. You think there's nothing
you can do to help a fellow man
pull through; but make start and
do your best, and help will come to
do the rest A kindly word, and
action wise, may help some strug-
Cling one to rise.

"THE CAVE MAN.
BY Alvah Jordan Garth
,nnriuht 1910 hv The Wastar


Newspaper UniOn)
The lonely, untrailed stretch Of
mountain and forest north of the
border settlement of Euclid was
called Lands End. When the lit
tie hamlet burned down one night
1t was blotted of the map and the
final outpost of civilization became
a mining town so miles to the east.
Laura Boyd, a young, pretty wild
ow, looked to the general hegira
ar a relief from hard grubbing with
no refinements. She had married a
very ordinary man who had died
leaving next to nothing. She had
remained at Euclid because she
could not very well get away, pa
tiently accepting the burdens of
necessity, but all the time dream
ing of a better future and longing
for books, for companionship in the
real, bustIing world.
True to her kindly nature she
had remained in makeshift shelter
until nearly all of the people OF the
settlement had left. Then. with
her sole possessions, comprising
suitcase and a horse. formerly her
husbands. she started alone for the
town.
Laura was entirely unfamiliar
with the trail across the hills. How
ever. che calculated that by close
Iv following the beaten track made
bv those who had preceded her she
could not so far astray.
Better wait till next week, Mrs.
Boyd suggested a neighbor.
