and my political associates-includ-

representatives in Russia, that the
Allies should send a strong force into
Russia at the earliest possible mo-
ment, to help with the greatest vigor
in redeemfns the country militarily,
materially and economically.
Russia has the right to obtain this
aid. She fell into misfortune because
she was fatigued by her tremendous
efforts in the war, and torn internally
by political ~disscnsion. Our Allies
must not be unmindfu1 of the fact
that at the beginning of the war. and
during its first three years. Russia
gave 100000 lives for the common

In the Allies most difficult days,
Russia arose to their aid. She poured

Shall the Banks
Take the Bonds?

Governments have two ways
of raising money-by taxes and
by bonds. Most of US think
taxes are high enough. The
other alternative is a bond issue.
There are two ways of disposing
of bonds-place them with the
banks, or sell them to the people
as was done in the past four
loans,
Let us suppose we place them
with the banks. What happens?
Well, a bank is a storehouse and
distributor of credit. Credit is
the lifeblood of business and in
dustry. Without credit you can
not expand your business, and if
business does not expand in a
wholesome, natural way labor
cannot be fully employed. There
is no panacea or magic solution
for the present tendency towards
labor unrest. The only sound
way to cure it is through the
normal and healthy expansion of
industry, incident upon the re-
turn to normal conditions of
American business prosperity.
This cannot take place without
readily available credit, and if
the banks are choked up with
Government bonds the rates of
interest upon loans will be so
high that business men will he 81
tate to undertake new ventures
and to make new commitments.
The Treasury is taking advice,
and will put out the best bond,
from all points of view, that pos
sibly can be supported. Once it
is offered, however, the only in
telligent way to meet this situ-
alton, from strictly cold, pracLi-
cal business standpoint, is to get
under this job and see to it that
the bonds are placed with the
people who can hold them as a
splendid investment and who in
the great majority of cases will
hold them until maturity and not
only receive dollar for dollar for
them, but probably an increase.

STEWARDS PLAN
STEPHENSON AS
NATIONAL HEAD

THE smallest branch-the larg-
est office" is the slogan of the Tri-
City Stewards club in the cam
paign for election of George +.
Stephenson as president of the In
ternatOnal Stewards association.
Election will take place at the an
nuaI convention which will be held
at Chicago, August 40.
The tri-city club is launching a
vigorous campaign for it's candidate
and Sunday J. W. Johnson, presi-
dent of the Moline club, leaves for
Pittsburgh where he will support
Mr.. Stephenson. II is claimed that
st. Louis will be strong for the
Rock Island candidate, and with
their support along with that of the
support of Pittsburgh. the Rock
Island candidate can feel almost
assured of his election There can
also be votes expected from the
smallest branches and the election
of the Watch Tower Inn manager
seems to be almost assured.
Fourteen members of the club
plan to be at the meeting. Last
year-the biggest program at the
smallest branch-was given the as
sociation and is being used as an
argument for claims that the tri-
city club can produce a candidate
big enough for presidency of the in
ternational association

PARIS HAS LITTLE
MONTE CARLO ALL
IT'S OWN 1T SEEMS

Paris.-It may not be generally
known that Paris has its own little
Monte Carlo a few miles from its
gates, with a beautiful casino
where roulette and other gambling
games may be played, and contain
ing a club without any intricacies
of election) where baccarat and its
like may be INDUCED in. Its name
is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. the baths
and mineral waters of the little
town being of medical value suftic-
lent to cover the casino as a neces-
sity for it's visitors.
The dangers of a gambling cen
ter at the very gates of Paris led
the chamber of deputies to vote in
1913 that no casino should be al
lowed within GO miles of the cap
ital. The bill was still before the
senate when the war began and
Enghien's casino became a hospi-
tai and is to be brought up for dis
cusSion again soon.

Former Baptist Minister Returns

The Rev. R. W. Babcock, pastor
of the First Baptist church, who
left his post to take up Y. M. c. A.

his family. They are expected to

for leave of absence of a year or
less to devote to work in the army
camps. He expressed preference for
overeas work. He spent a few
weeks in Chicago, at a training
school and was sent from there to
France as athletic director in the
Y work. He spent five months with
the boys across the sea where he
was well liked by every one. He has
written of his many interesting ex-
periences.

a welcome reception for him which

CITY ENFORCES
SIDEWALK RULE
Moline Residents Must Replace
Tile Walks With Cement BY
Order of the City.

It appears that 700 persons are
affected by the sidewalk ordinance
recently adopted by the Moline city
council That ordinance ordered
practically all tile sidewalks north
OF Twelfth avenue and east of Fiji
teenth street replaced with cement.
Notices of property owners and
tenants are being sent out by City
Clerk Anderson today. 1t was
stated that there was 700 such mo-
tees.
There has been much discussion
among the Moline residents in that
neighborhood about laying the new
sidewalk when the ordinance
reaches the Moline city court for
confirmation Certain taxpayers
maintain that the ordinance is too
sweeping and that all of the side
walks do not need repairing.
Property owners are allowed 40
GAYS in which to building the
walks themselves or let the con-
tract for the improvements. After
that, the work will be done by the
city, if the ordinance passes the
court.
The ordinance will not be before
the Moline city court for several
months as the 40 days must first
expire and special assessment rolls
must be prepared.
Many property owners are not
waiting for legal confirmation of
the measure but have already
awarded contracts for sidewalk
construction.

MUSIC LOVERS
| TO HEAR EDDY
Tri-City People VIII Have Opp0r-
tunity of Hearing World
Famous Musician.

Tickets for the organ recital to
be given by Clarence Eddy at the
First Congregational church. Mo-
line, Thursday evening, June &c,
have been placed on sale at the
Norberg music houses In Moline
and Rock Island and at the
Schmidt music house in Daven-
port. This was done for the &C
commodation of the women who
have tickets to sell and who can
not see everyone who would like to
buy tickets.
The recital will officially open
the organ at the Moline church.
Since the opening of the edifice at
Seventh avenue and Twenty-sec
ond street, the organ has been
practically made over, and its tone
quality is equal to that of any $12,-
900 instrument.
Many people of the tri-cities no
doubt have heard Mr.. Eddy, as he
has given recitals all over the
world. His first real recital was
that of the exposition at Vienna in
1873. Perhaps some of the people
in the tri-cities heard him at Phil
adelphia in 1876, some may have
heard him in a recital at Paris in
1889, while some people who were
unfortunate enough not to CO. to
Paris probably heard him at Chi
cago in 1893 or at Buffalo in 1901,
at. ST. Louis in 1904, at jamestown
in 1907, and at San Francisco in
1915.
The women of the First Congre-
gational church must be highly
commended on their ability to Sc
cure for the tri-city music lovers
such a master as Mr.. Eddy.

HOUSING RENTERS
MEET TO DISCUSS
CIVIC PROBLEMS

Residents of the Highland addi-
ton of East Moline apparently
have plenty of public spirit. They
have so much that they called a
meeting at the East Moline Y last
night to discuss matters. They
took up problems on clean streets,
Fairgrounds, evening entertain
ments and a general get-together
for all the occupants of the United
States housing structures.
These pepole wish to help the
city all they can and while doing
this they want to raise their own
standard. The United States hous-
ing corporation sent delegates to
the meeting. Another meeting has
been called on next Wednesday
evening and a club probably will
reformed at that time.
