Before the Tri-City Railway company gives
serious consideration to the proposition of sub
stttuting bob-tail cars on it's various lines for
the big double truck cars now in the service
: The Argus thinks that the public should be
given hearing on the subject
While the plan is designed purely in the in
terest of economies on the part of the COM
pany, contemplating that it removes necessity
for the conductors there is the question OF
public safety as well as public convenience
which should be taken into consideration The
cars in prospect are to be the single truck de-
sign, much smaller than those of the metro
politan style to which the Public has become
accustomed They are what is termed "muzzle
leaders," as both the entrance and exit are on
the front platform and hence they similar,
although considerable smaller, to the cars in
troduced a few years ago in some OF the larger
cities, although the latter provided for the con-
ductor to stand beside the motorman the
front platform. These cars met with disfavor,
however, and return was made to the type
such as are now in use in the three cities and
but few OF the "muzzle leaders" now in
operation in the cities where the experiment
was made
The cars the fri-City Railway company now
has in mind may, from the standpoint of the
public, be regarded as departure from the
progressive spirit and tendencies which have
always characterized the Tri-City Railway
company and hence the mere suggestion is
disappointing
When the cash receivers were installed in
the street cars last summer, The Argus pro-
phesied that 1t was step toward doing away
with the conductors, notwithstanding that ordi-
nances required the cars to be manned by con-
ductor and motorman A test OF this was re-
Gently made when in Muscatine the state law
was brought into effect to check the company
in its purpose to abandon the conductors.
What applies to Muscatine of course applies to
Davenport and what is good enough for Dav-
export is good enough for Rock Island, Moline
and East Moline. even if the local law did not
apply to the operation of the car service
1t is hoped that the Tri-City Railway COM
pany will think twice before it attempts TO dis
card its metropolitan equipment for the dinky.

not live with her husband after she
ceases to love him, unless there are
reasons why she should sacrifice
herself When there are children,
their interests shouldNbe considered
above everything else. If the father
is good and kind and does his part
to make the home a pleasant place
to live in, he is just as much en-
titled to the children as the moth
er. Besides, a child's life is richer
with both parents than when de-
prived of one.
In cases when the husband is
cruel or a drunkard it is better to
take the children away from him If
such a thing-is possible.
If, however, woman has no chill
dren, and she finds she can not love
her husband, divorce seems to me
the wisest course before there are
children.
You ask how to show affection
when love has turned to dislike. In
such a case greatf courtesy and
kindness should be shown, but af-
lection would be deceitful and in
the long run it does not pay to de-
ceive.

Yes, consider it all right for one

of the roll call. She had no intention

Germany and BoIshevism.

Germany, having lost the battle under
autoeracy, is Germany still. 1t looked upon
milftarism as means to an end and we have
no reason to suppose thatNthe end has been
definitely abandoned simply because the vehicle
by which attainment was expected has broken
down Dr.. Dernburg, the former colonial min
ulster, writes that his country, threatened with
dishonor, instead OF security on the west, must
turn eastward to satisfy her needs and realize
her future" Evidently the fears of the French
for their safety later are not without foun-
dation-
Sinister developments of the last few days
show the German hand Ludendorff, Hindene
burg and other leaders who guided the affairs
OF the empire during the war remain in good
standing and we may be sure they are not
idle. Working systematically, as they un-
doubtedly are, they are capable OF causing in
finite trouble by strengthening the bolshevist
army.
German leaders of course are perfectly
aware that the allies will find it infinitely
harder to work in harmony to defeat cam
paign waged by and for the proletariat, no
matter how unworthy the objects, than to Co
operate against a powerful military machine.
1t is entirely possible that they had in mind
something of the sort that is now taking place
oI INC IIuo I1oy proposed an aInlSIce ,HeT-
haps that is one reason for the sudden ana
seemingly abject surrender. They may have
been planning even then to avail themselves OF
this new political force developed in Russia,
using it to fight the battle they had lost
There are grave possibilities for the allies
in the situation, and it calls for prompt and
vigorous measures We are justified in being
concerned. but not in being greatly alarmed.
German brains could not win victory with the
greatest military machine the world ever had
seen and they cannot win through any other
fundamentally. They will be an element OF
weakness, rather than of strength, to bolshe-
vism. They may set soviet Russia to the task
of drawing their chestnuts out of the fire, but
they never will get the chestnuts. 1t simply
isn't in the cards for Germany to win by any
means whatever.
An attempt now to use bolshevism as its
tool would be simply another of the long series
of blunders that has marked the Tenton's tao
tics throughout. the war.

He was thinking of Theda Wayne
as he walked along the shore of
the great spreading river. and as
he recalled the change a month had
made in her, Albion Merton was
truly sorrowful. All the bright
ness of her nature seemed to have
languished when her old father
died. He had been a confirmed
invalid, a great care to her, but
the loving devotion she exerted
through five years In his behalf,
had obscured all other interests.
Then when the reaction came it
seemed as though all the props of
life were suddenly removed, and
Theda collapsed like an overbur-
dened being worn out and weary

THE DENTIST AND THE
RHEUMATIC

There can be no reasonable
doubt that neglected or undiscover-
ed infection about the roots of teeth
Is very common cause of chronic
single or multiple arthritis, or, as
Old DR.. bubble and the ordinary
folks persist in calling it, the rheu-
matism.
If fourteen teeth are bad" and
the knees and shoulders getting
worse all the time, should the pa
fuent shop around and get bids on
the contract of extracting the bad
fourteen? Is a dentist a mere artisan
to be hired at the lowest market
price? No. Health is worth all the
very best Of dentists ever charged
for his services.
Never, If there is a secondary or
focal Infection presumably depend
ing on the infected roots, should a
large number of teeth be extracted
at one sitting. At most, two teeth
may be extracted each week or I'VE
days. In this way the system is not
overwhelmed all at once by a dam
aging dose of bacterial poison from
the teeth; on the contrary. the effect
of the little operation is often bene-
fetal. as the distinct improvement
in the joints show.
In joint disease of long duration
of course the damage is frequently
irreparable% even If the original
focus of infection is found and
eradicated- Too many victims of the
rheumatic have run the gamut of
alleged medicines, diets and resorts
for years and years, then finally
submitted to dental or surgical
treatment of the poison source, and
because the joint disease had pro-
crossed to a stage beyond restora-
ton condemned the focal infection
theory as a myth. 1t would be as
reasonable to neglect a broken leg
two months and then consult doc
tor and condemn splints and band
ages because the fracture failed to
adjust itself after course of treat
ment
1t is much too frequently that
physicians see the manifestations of
chronic appendicitis, chronic gall
sac inflammation, ulcer of the
stomach or duodenum and chronic
arthritis clear up after the extrac-
ton or dental treatment@af diseased

worse following the extraction, but

to them that their brotherhood,

his legislature enacted nearly
everything that he had pledged
them to enact. Acts were passed es-

ors, and providing for the continued
ownership of newspapers and
mercantile establishments. But

Townley's principal followers are
