LITTLE GOOD IN ARGUMENT
Many Men of Note Have Set Il Down
as Useless Form Of
Bickering.

Lord Fisher. not arguing, of course,
with his opponents, but Just telling
them, renewed a discussion with the
remark 1T Is only fools who argue"
Something of the sort has been said
before. In rIutarch You find:
"Euripides was wont to say. silence
was IN answer to wise man; but we
seem 20 have greater occasion for ii In
our dealings with fools and uureason-
able persons for men of breeding and
good sense Will be satisfied with reason

Jonathan Swift wrote
Argument, as usually managed, Is
the worst sort of conversation, as in
books 1t is generally the worst sort of
reading"
James Russell Lowell gave this ad-
vice:
There is no good in argument with
the inevitable. The only argument
available with an east wind Is to put
on your oyercOat."
In Samuel Buffers Notebook, which
holds much common sense, Is an entry
to the point:
Argument is general waste of time
and trouble. II is better to present
ones own opinion, and leave it to
suck Or no. as II may happen. II

The official opening Of the parks
of Rock Island will occur on May
1. Plans for the coming season
were announced today by Chris F.
Gaetjer, superintendent of parks,
and members of the board of park
commissioners.
The parks by that time will have
undergone thorough spring
housecleaning, under the direction
of Mr.. Gaetjer and a corps of as
sistants. and will have been re-
furnished and newly decorated by
Nature, the artist.
Not many improvements are to be
undertaken this year, according to
E. B. Mckown, member of the park
board. as it is felt that expenses at
the present time are too high to
justify extensive work on the
parks and that all unnecessary
labor can better wait for another
year.
The biggest improvement will be

ORDER OUT FOR
CHEAT WORK ON
new pAvEAENTS
Material Must Be Mixed ana Laid
According to Specifications
Or Be Torn Up.

The city commissioners today
conferred authority on paving in
spectors employed by the city to
demand. at their discretion, the re-
moval OF any part of new paving
and the relaying of the same in the
proper manner.
The inspectors were instructed
that when concrete bases are laid
especial care should be exercised
that the proper mixture has been
used and the material properly laid.
In case proper mixtures are not
used or the material is not prop
erly laid the inspectors are sup
posed to demand that the contrac-
tors remove the whole portion of
work and proceed again in abiding
by the specifications. No patch
work on such Jobs it was said
would be tolerated.
The inspectors were also given
the authority to take up with con-
tractors the case of any of their
employees found maliciously prac-

ticing cheating in the mixing and
laying OF material.
This power of the inspectors was
made more stringent NJ the m
struction that whenever demanded
the inspectors themselves inform
employees OF contractors that they
are no longer wanted on the job
Foremen of gangs of PAYERS will
be expected to see that the work is
carried out strictly according to
specifications. II not, up comes
the whole job" the commissioners
decided. With paving prices high
the commissioners said that they
do not intend to allow even a sug-
gestion of passing up specifications
to the letter. In the past some
jobs are said to have been bungled
