Iomorrow's Election.

The city campaign has developed into one
OF unusual bitterness, with the arraying of
most OF the people into one CT two hostile
camps and with every other issue subordinated
TO the fitness of the nominees for mayor. There
IS danger that a good many voters will go to
the polls so firmly resolved to support either
SchriVer or Phillips, the case may be. that
theyWin overlook the Importance of other mat
tiers upon which they will be expected to ex-
press preference
Under the commission form of government
the mayor is not the whole administration
Collectively the four commissioners have vast
~ more power than he and if they are so dis
posed they can overrule him and practically
neutralize his power for either good or i'll. It
Is up to the voters to make careful selection
OF commissioners or they may find later that
their zeal on behalf of the head Of the ticket
has miscarried
Particularly there is danger that the voters
may fail to appreciate the significance or the
two propositions that will be submitted. Every
body is, or should be for both of them, but
good intentions will not suffice We all want
to see the territory between Tventy-seventh
and Thirtieth streets, Immediately south of
Eighteenth avenue, annexed, and we favor the
merit system for the police and fire depart
ments, in place of one dominated by politics
Let US roll up majority for both that will
leave no doubt to how we feel about it.
The Argus has endeavored to treat all can
didates fairly and to give the public whatever
aid it was able to to make a wise choice 1t
will stand ready to cooperate with the new ad-
ministration, regardless of personnel, in max
ing Rock Island a cleaner, better and more
progressive city

The Victory Loan Issue.

People of the United States should easily
absorb the Victory Liberty loan of 81 OoOo,-
900. Illinois share, outside of Cook county,
is $S4,S25,000. For a state so rich as this the
sum is not formidable.
AS an investment four-year gold notes bear
ing Az per cent interest will take rank with
any that the country affords. The bonds should
go above par and should be just the same as
money in hand because of ease of conversion
into cash for emergency use.
1t will be better for the people to take the
bonds than to force the banks to finance the
issue The public can absorb them without
disturbing the money market, while the banks
in order to swing the loan would have to with
draw temporarily the currency needed to
maintain the business of the country, hinder
ing industry and commerce at a most critical
time.
better reason than attractiveness as an
investment or desire to ward of financial
depression is the plain duty of citizenship To
refuse now to buy our fair share of bonds is
to brand ourselves as cutters, stigma that
no real American will voluntarily assume. We
were committed to seeing this thing through
1t isn't finished till the bills are paid This
loan is being foated to pay for things already
bought. We approved of mourning the obli-
CATION. We are not going to repudiate the
debt especially after the thing we set out to
do has been accomplished and at a cost vastly
less in both men, treasure and time than we
had reason to expect.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Pooling With a Wart.

Some six months ago l treated a
wart on my second finger with
caustic. 1t has come back, larger
than before, and more troublesome.
| play the violin for a living. What
would you suggest to enable me to
get rid of it? z. F. B.
Answer-If 1 had such a wart
and wished to get rid of it / should
have doctor inject a local anes-
thetic and excise the wart.
Other Ways to Catch COryza-
l would like to know whether
there is any other way besides
droplet infection to catch coryza,
sore throat, pneumonia or the other
respiratory diseases Are the germs
of such diseases more likely to col
lect in a warm room than in the
open? Does ventilation blow the
germs out of the room into the sun
light where the sunlight can de-
stroy them? W. III. u.
Answer-Other ways than drop
let or spray infection from open
face coughing or sneeZing, laugh
ing or talking to any one within
the five-foot barrage, are kissing
and Misunderstanding or hand-to-
mouth infection. Any disease germ
would survive longer in warm
room than in a cold one or in the
open air. Ventilation probably
does not blow disease germs out
of the room, or at least not to any
considerable degree. Sunlight,
however, is death to germs.

Brad's O. Verse
CHEERFUL DAYS.

The winters past. it's blossom
time, the bosky dells are full CT
chime, and everybody's gay; the
jaybirds fit across the scene, the
lambkins frolic on the green, the
tuneful donkeys bray. Such cheer
full days" the folks remark. Let's
take a lesson from the lark and let
dull care go hang; let's FURNISH up
our old tin harps and wind their
rundown flats and sharps. and
gleeful anthems twang." Brief time
agone, it was not so. They Rugged
their crouch and nursed their woe
and talked about their ills; they
held sad converse with the glooms
and entertained the fears and
dooms and courted aches and
chilIs. The air is soft, the flowers
bloom, the blizzard has gone up the
flume, the sunshine's here in gobs,
folks take a hike and sniff the
breeze and utter not a sign or
wheeze; the docs have lost their
Jobs. 1t isn't hard to prance and
shout when blossom time is all
about and laughter is the fad. But
through dark melancholy days-ah,
then to keep our cheerful ways, to
chortle and be glad.

Representative McFadden. Republican, of
Pennsylvania, a member of the house banking
and currency committee, is out with proposal
to tax the federal land bank bonds and the
joint stock land bank bonds, now exempted.
As one editorial writer puts it, this somewhat
distinguished Republican congressman pro-
poses to take this slap at the farmers under
the pretext of hitting the wealthy bond owners
just though the farmers had not already
been slapped enough, or it was a crime for a
man to be rich enough to be an investor il
farm loan bonds.'
Taxation of such bonds will simply mean a
higher rate of interest for the farmers, and
they will therefore pay the tax
