GOVERNOR RICHIE
INAUGUR ATED.

Albert Cabell Richie. of Balti-
more, was inaugurated at noon
Wednesday as Governor of Mary
land under suspicious circum-
stances.
A windy, but clear and beauti-
full winter day permitted hun
dreds of Mr.. Ritchie's friends to
attend the ceremony and his
every word and every move were
attended by enthusiastic and ap-
plauding friends. who made mani
fest their confident belief that
he was entering upon q
period of service which would re-
dound to his own fame and to
the prosperity and welfare Of the
State.
The oath was administered by
Chief Judge Andrew Hunter
Boyd, of the Court of Appeals,
in the Senate Chamber, which
was crowded with the other
members of the Appellate Court,
wearing their gowns; the men,
bers of the Senate, members OF
the House and numerouf Demo-
cratic leaders representing every
faction of the party. Mr.. Richie
followed Judge Boyd in reading
the oath in a clear, decisive tone,
and was given a rousing cheer
when he concluded.
Just previously, he had deliv
cred his inaugural address in the
House Chamber, which was
packed almost to suffocation. In
the paralance of the street, Gov
ernor Ritchie's address rang
the bell" Repeatedly he was
interrupted,..:by rounds of ap-
plause. In the discussion of the
speech which took place during
the afternoon and evening there
was not heard a dissenting note
to the prevailing opinion that it
was a clear and able and firm
statement of sound principles,
both as respects State affairs and
the temper of the times. One of
the Maryland Congressman, a
man not given to extravagant
language, said it, was the sound
est Democratic doctrine pro-
nounced in many months. d"

try. And the record, the results,
of the sometimes queer, usually
awkward, Operations of the Har-
ington administration are good,
looking at things in the light OF
what is humanity attainable. The
man who looks over the record OF
the Harrington administration 20
years from now, and sees what
was done, and does not see the
ungraceful way in which it often
was done, probably will regard
it as among the best administra-
tions Maryland had in this
period.
One other thing remains to be
said about Governor Harring-
ton. 1t is that he never lost his
sense of proportion after leaving
the little town of cambridge to
occupy the seat of the Chief
Magistrate of Maryland. He
was still the unaffected, ap-
proachable, kindly gentlemen.
Surely, to say this of a man is
of small compliment. And 80,
in that friendly spirit which
marked his personality througout
his administra ton, we offer him
our fluctuations as he returns to-
day to private life, and wish for
him happiness an d prosperity in
large measure. Baltimore Sun.

THE OUTGOING GOVERNOR

Mr.. Harrington has tried for
four years to give the best ad-
ministration in his power. He has
believed sincerely that he could
do this working Through and
with the organization of his party
his training has been such that
he could give a better administra-
ton. working through the organ
ization, giving it the plums, add
ing to its prestige, and thus hold
ins it's favor. 1t may be said to-
day that assuredly Mr.. Harring-
tons efforts, in his own way, to
give the best administration in
his power have borne excellent
fruit. Looking calmly back over
his four years in the Governors
chair, there appear the facts that
his administration instituted a
scientific budget system-one of
the best in any State or nation
which, in itself, would be a mo-
nument to any administration;
that it cleared away the chaos of
confusion and mismanagment
into which the States finance
had fallen, and put them on a
solid and businesslike basis; that
it handled capably, forcefully
and on the whole economically
the war projects of the State,
or those in which the State shar-
ed responsibility with the FEEDER
al Government; that it perform
ed the longdesired reform of the
State Agriculture College; and
that the routine work of the de-
partment was managed certainly
with as much efficiency, on the
average, as the State has been
accustomed to, including the
business of the State Roads Com
mission, which is of paramount
Importance.
He has a right to entertain a
a certain honest pride in this ire
cord. 1t has been unappreciated |
by many, as the months passed, |
because of Governor Harrington's
habit of consorting with all sorts
of politicians and because he::was
given to seemingly interminable
delays in acting. Very often
his dealing with politicians has
caused so much irritation and
thas when he finally
acted sanely and wisely some of
the suspicion and irritation re-
NAMED. But the record stands,
and it is the American habit to
Judge, in the long run, by the re-
cord. Result count in this coun-

Europe Twice Saved By Americas
Crops

America helped to save Europe and
to preserve civilization, not only during
the war but after the armistice, BY max
ing available through increased produc
ton and conservation, large supplies
of foo DIST uffs. This assertion is made
by David F. Houston, Secretary of
Agriculture, in tribute to the farmers
of the United States in his annual re-
port.
"But this contribution" says the
Secretary, cit is difficult to see how the
allies could have waged the war to 8
victorious conclusion. Lacking such
support and with their own producing
capacity seriously crippled, the German
people experienced partial famine con-
ditions, their health and Vitality were
greatly impaired; and the collapse of
their military power was ;due in no
small measure to the shortage of food.
THE cessation Of hostilities brought
no immediate improvement in Europe
On the contrary, in some respects more
adverse conditions developed. Revolu-
ton became the order lof the day; the
directing hand Of government was re-
moved; discipline was relaxed; the NOR
ale, particularly of the people of the
Central Powers, was broken, idleness
and unemployment prevailed. and in
some sections anarchy reigned. 1t was
obvious that Europe could not produce
sufficient foods for herself. Her crops
had been short for several years, and it
was scarcely probable that those for 1919
would be greater than the crops Of the
last year of the war. Quite as unsatis-
factory was the live st ok situation. In
nine OF the western nations the number
of cattle had declined more than 1000
600; lshcep, $500, 5000; Swine, 25. $780,.
900; and dairy COWS several millions,
with = greater :proportionate reduction
in the volume of products.
Food relief after the armistice was i'm
perative not only for the peoples of the
new small friendly nations but also of
the emmy countries. It became the
key to the whole situation and to the
sstablis hment of real peace. Europe
had to be fed il order was to be restored
and if European civilization, and, there
fore, that of all the world, including
our own, was to be preserved. Amer
lea had again 70 assist in saving Europe
and herself by supplying food, and that
in great abundance. 1t was estimated
that Europe would need to import at
least 10000 900 tons If bread grains
alone, and that of this quantity 1l,000,-
| 900 must come from the United States
1t was obvious also that she would ca
for large imports Of meats and fats,
and that for months, antil shipping Gx-
banded again, most OF these must be
obtained from the United States. This
burden America was able to assume
because Of the achievements of her
farmers"

BRINGS SUIT TO
COVER Loss ON
HIS AUTOMOBILE


Damages Of $1,000 are asked By
William w. Leonard Of Moline in
a suit against Louis Hanssen's Sons
of Davenport. The damage is alleg-
ed to have been the result Of an
automobile collision in Davenport
last October, in which the COM
plainant's machine was involved
with a truck belonging to the
Davenport concern.
The declaration sets forth that
Paul Leonard, son Of the plaintiff,
was driving the automobile on
Fourth street with due regard to
the traffic laws and in the exercise
of caution on Oct. 7. 1919. At the
intersection Of Myrtle and Fourth
streets it is set forth that the de-
livery truck collided with the tour
ing car and damaged the latter
greatly.
The Rock Island lines and F. c.
Stotmeister are co-defendants in a
suit for damages of $500 instituted
in circuit court by James Filings
worth of Moline. The plaintiff
charges the defendants with negli-
gence, the result of which was
damages to the automobile owned
by him.
1t is related that Stotmeister was
loaned the use of Ellingsworth' S
machine on Sept. 6, 1919, and that
while the former was driving it in
the village of Colona he approached
a railroad crossing without the ex-
ercise of care. The machine was
struck by a Rock Island lines en-
CINE, which the complainant al
leges was not equipped properly
with warning signals.

kIWANIS wins
HIGH RECORDS
Rock Island Second in Attendance
Contest Over the Entire
Country.

The Rock Island Kiwanis club
members attained an enviable rec
ord in the recently concluded at
tendance contest extending over a
period of IL weeks with Kiwanis
clubs throughout the United States
taking part. Their attendance rec
ord for the time of the contest was
SO 11-12 per cent, the second high
est OF any club entering the con-
test. The club at Galesburg won
the prize with a percentage OF only
1-l2 per cent higher than Rock Is
land.
The contest was conducted on
the plan of two divisions which
competed for the attendance rec
ord. The division to which Rock
Island belonged was known as the
blue division. The winner in the
gold division was Peoria, Ill. with
a percentage of only 81, nearly 10
per cent lower than the goal
achieved by Rock Island.
The clubs of Peoria and Gales
burg will therefore be awarded the
prizes for their division at the
Portland convention of kiwanis
clubs next month. Rock Island
will not receive a prize, although
standing high in the list.
OF the districts taking part, the
Illinois Eastern Iowa group stands
highest with percentage Of 81
and the Alabama-Florida follows
with a record of IS. Illinois there
fore takes the lead in both divis-
ions and districts among Kiwanis
clubs.
