RAILROAD MEMS VIEWS OF
CARTOONS AND CARTOON
IST

Rock Island, April 26.-Editor
The Argus: Some are all right and
others not. The humorous ones
are intended to create a good feel
ing, bring forth smiles and drive
away spell of what is known as
the blues, while others of a more
serious nature are usually intended
TO be a lesson to those who see
them, as to the ways of the world,
and usually convey or suggest an
idea as to the error or correctness
of the thing calling for the work
of the cartoonist.
1t is generally supposed that car
toonistS are people or men of
brains, and that they use them to
the best advantage for the better
ment of conditions, or in keeping
with the general welfare of the
community or people, and you
would think that all this particular
time, during the turmoil and unset
tied conditions as regard to capital
and labor, the carLoonist or writer
would be more particular along the
lines of their endeavors to bring
about more harmony and do some
thing that would have a tendency
to bring about much desired re
suits, good fellowship between en-
ployer and employee. That, of
course, we, the people, do believe
is the correct status of most we'll
inclined artists In that particular
line; but of course there are ex-
ceptions to all rules. And some of
the exceptions are dingy or sense
less, in other words, no truth or
anything suggesting or pertaining
to the truth is in them-only the
reverse.
There was a cartoon in the Des
Moines Register, Sunday, April Is,
1919, in regard to the raise of the
railroad mems wages. If it was in
tended to/keep the home fires burn
ing. the cartoonist evidently made
a sad mistake, but his efforts were
along the same lines before the
war, and previous to the taking
over of the railroads by the gov

ruling the captains for the good of
all concerned. and, believe us, when
the question is decided right, labor
and capital can work in harmony
and as an editorial in the April Is
issue OF the Des Moines Capital
stated, the usy-bodies and agita-
tors who are working for their
selfish interests, will be out of their
easy money and Jobs, and Will have
to work like their fellow-men, An
other editorial from the Des Moines
News, April 16 issue, snobbery
stands in the way OF democracy,
so we are told, and there is lot to
il. One lives to show off, the other
lives to work and be real. They
look at life in two different ways.
Democracy means a man should do
for his living some sort of work
that produces wealth or helps the
world get through the day better
off, A snob wishes to look the per-
son who does not have to work.
And, in conclusion, we wish you
to remember there has been spilled
enough blood for our country, the
best We had, to color the red of
every flag; but no man is a true
American unless his flag shows
also the white, which stands for
purity, morality and truth, and the
blue which means loyalty. To be
really true requires that we shall
honor Him who gave US so much,
and we shall not forget that the
best blood of the uni~erse-the
blood of Christians been spilled
to save our heaven for us. Our
heaven begins here.

or McConochie told an Argus rep
resentative today.
The Improvement companies re-
quested extensions OF time because
of the high prices of material and
labor existing during the war. The
bill in the legislature was intro
duced, it was pointed out, in fair
ness to the contractors who quoted
prices, in some cases, that increas-
ed considerably as the war pro-
crossed.
The passage of the bill would
mean the need of new contracts on
the paving projects now called for
by city ordinances. Should the bill
meet defeat, improvement compa-
MES could be forced to hold to their
part of the agreements.

What America Gets Out of It,
From the Chicago News.

People who are studying the rearranged physical balance Of the
world and asking what America gets out of this war might find q
satisfactory answer by considering what the settlements would have
been if America had not entered the war.
For one thing, German miitarsm would have triumphed and
the world would not now be safe for democracy-and Americas ex-
istence depends upon democracy. For another thing, America
would have. had the cnmity Of the world, whereas it now has the
friendship Of the greater part of the world.
Americas hand to a great extent wrote the peeacc terms and,
though The famous ii points may have been somewhat blunted, they
survive u form a very formidable picket fence about a new and ten
der crop of human rights. No marauder will lightly undertake to
tear them down.
The conscience of the world is aroused, its ideals are loftier, be-
cause of Americas participation in the war and its underwriting Of
victory FOR the freedom loving peoples. These spiritual assets are
not vague nothings iii material affairs. This is clear when one CON
sidcrs their inevitable effects upon human relationships: The war
and the peace terms have brought remote people together upon a
common basis Of understanding, and that understanding is largely
of American origin.
