MADEM0|SELLE WHO

 WORKER TO REMAIN
Warrants for Her Arrest and Deportation are Stop
 ped

Washington, June Warrants for
 the arrest and deportation of Made line Babin and her mother and sister ! on charges that they entered the Uni 1 ted States from France for improper purposes, were cancelled today by As sistant Secretary Post.
 Evidence in the case presented at hearings at the depa artment of justice and made public today, said the wo-
 men came to this country at the in- vitation of Lee Shippey of Kansas City, Mo, formerly Y. M. c. A. ; worker in France. Shippey, it was testified, lived with the Babin family ! while overseas and "an attachment
 arose between him and the eldest
 daughter"
 Upon his return to the United States" it was added, Che and his l wife became estranged and are now
 living apart, he in Los Angeles and she in Kansas City.
 Evidently he wishes her to in- stitute proceedings for divorce and
 she refuses. Evidently also, if he were divorced, he would marry the alien who is about to be, if she has 1 not already become, the mother of his child"
 From testimony, Madeline Babin came to the United States to accept a place as teacher at Portland, Ore | which Shippey had obtained for her On her way to Portland she stopped at Kansas City, the report said, with the expectation of marriage to Ship pey if he were lawfully free to mar ry her."
 
 Kansas City, Mo-, June 1.-Let Shippey, newspaperman and former Y. M. c. A. worker in France, spent
 most of his life in Missouri prior tc
 the world war, and was at one time

 for magazines, shippey owned ant
 edited newspaper at Higginsville

Keeping the Organizations.

Rock islanders with the best interests OF
the city at heart will be glad to know that the
Rock Island club Chamber OF Commerce and
Business Mems association all are to be main
tanned as a result of last evenings meeting.
Whether they shall be kept together, as at
Present, or be split two or even three ways,
is left to be determined by committee OF
dozen members which President H. H. Cleave-
land of the chamber was authorized to appoint.
Decision on the question. which was prac-
tically unanimous, was made after an acrimo-
rious discussion precptated by the remarks
of NJ H. Sexton. Mr.. Sexton went in for heroic
treatment. He declared many OF the ills OF
the community resulted from lack OF coopera-
tion between the Chamber of Commerce and
the municipal commission. There was no use,
he maintained, in beating around the BUSH
The airing which followed was all Of that
Lucius P. Wilson of the American city bu-
reau opened the program with an admirable ad-
dress dealing with fundamentals involved in
the problem before the meeting II those as
sembled had taken their cue from Mr.. Wilson
and devoted their attention to a calm and
constructive application OF the principles he
laid down it probably would have been better
all around. What Mr.. Wilson had to say made
most favorable impression upon members Of
tie three local organizations who heard him.
What the visitor thought of the subsequent de-
bate he discreetly kept to himself.
The saving feature is that sentiment of
real boosters was shown to be almost unani-
mously in favor of continuing organized effort
for growth and improvement The welfare
of the city was really uppernost in the mind
Of everyone. There was clearly defined COM
mon purpose and the only differences were over
the means of accomplishment.
A good deal Of responsibility rests upon
the committee Mr.. Cleaveland was authorized
to appoint. Without wishing to usurp its pre-
negatives The Argus desires to again empha-
size the danger involved in proposals made last
evening for division of organizations, especially
the club and Chamber Of Commerce Each
supplements the other in a number of impor-
tant particulars and if divided there is grave
danger Of dissipating energies that should be
used for the common good. Some provision
for at least coordinatng the work of the two
seems to be necessary.
Not many months ago the people of Chicago
became involved in controversy not unlike
that which has developed here between CITY
administration and representative organiza-
tons. When the trouble was settled and good
feeling was restored it was agreed to inscribe
on the municipal banner alongside the famous

Phosphate Of Soda.
Would an ordinary dose of phos-
phate of soda taken every night for
a year be harmful to man who
does not get much exercise?

Answer-It is a saline laxative
no more Or less injurious for habit
ual use than EPSON salts. Unless
the man is physically unable to
take exercise, it would be a mis-
take for him to depend on such a
physic to maintain bowel action.

The days and weeks passed rap

Near the end of her first half of
her third year of teach. May gladly
welcomed the approaching holiday.
To hustle home to Aunt En- meant
an honest welcome, from one of
the dearest women on earth; and
TO be sure, this kindly soul was
waiting on the doorstep when May
skipped down the walk, with arms
outstretched.
Greetings in that coy home
We're never over. for everything in
sight seemed to continually say,
I'm glad to see you," each and
every minute. Is it any wonder,
therefore, that on the next morn
ing, the fire went out because 1t
didn't feel at home. and the alarm
clock fell on the floor because it
was not set correctly, all due to
the fact that May had not slept
well the night before. and conse-
quently had arisen quite out of
sorts?
Surely there must be q reason"
said the dear, kind aunt, as all day
long she watched the young girls
attempt to hide the moods that
would approach, and SO she de-
cided, as they sat together that
night, to seek to relieve her.
I'm not going to ask you the
trouble, grille" said the wise aunt
Troubles do not like to be both
cred, but did you ever. in your
short life, try to count tho golden
stars that brighten the heavens
above, as they, so many times,
twinkle into your very Window"

But, dear child, compare, il you
will, the number Of stars that you
positively know are as brilliant in
the sky as are the jewels in the
crown OF a prince, let us say, with
the only occasional comet that ap-
pears-really such a rarity-and
let whatever troubles you have ad-
here to the comet, yes, a really
rare comet, and just consider the
number OF stars as blessings, I'M

is that smile that should find its
place on your countenance?"
"But auntie, how did you ever
happen to think Of the stars in
such way?"
Because. dear girl. l find that

them, especially since our dear

Political Diversion.

The best entertainment Of the presidential
campaign 70 far is furnished By the battle
royal for the political heritage OF the late
Colonel Roosevelt being wased BY those dough-
u friends of his, General Leonard Wood and
Senator Hiram johnson. Wood bases his
claims on old associations dating back before
the Spanish American war. johnson is trying
to cash in on tho part he played as Roose-
valt's running mate In 1912.
Nettled by the showing the general has
made in the states that already have chosen
ton Senator Borah. Johnson lieutenant, has
raised the cry Of extravagant use Of funds by
Wood and Lowden. especially the former
General Wood astutely discerning that the di-
version was sprung merely to influence votes
In primaries yet to be held, Borah yesterday
came back with . hearty assurance that the
deduction was well founded. Here's the tele-
gram be sent sizzling over the wires to the
general, taking care at the same time to see
the press did not overlook it:
press dispatches state you claim the at
tack upon you was to sway the voters OF
Michigan. You are in part correct. 1t was
intended to sway the voters not only in Michi-
gan but in the United States. l know Of no
other tribunal to which to appeal to correct
these practices. But it can only be effective
provided the facts stated are correct 1t is
within your power to give to the people Of
Michigan and other states list of your sub
scribers, the amount you are spending, the
amount which you did expend in South Dakota,
the amount which you propose to expend for
instance in Ohio and Illinois.
IF you will make statement Of these
facts over your signature 1 will correct any
erroneous statements which have heretofore
made. The material which is coming from
South Dakota, Illinois and Ohio convinces me
that was modest in my statements. General
Wood if you are not familiar with what is go
| ing on in your behalf for the presidency take
! leave to assert that unless you familiarize
yourself and correct it, you will bring disgrace
upon your name. upon your party, and upon
your country.
ut is up to you as soldier and as man
to come out boldly and meet these facts and
either show the public that they are unfounded
or else repudiate the men who have manifested
their determination to control the national con-
vention through the use of money"
In these tense times the people most Of
all crave diversion. It has been quite while
since any was to be had out OF the political
situation. From long looking on the serious
side we are in danger of becoming morose
and hard to get along with. This struggle for
the mantle of the first progressive promises
tc be diverting. A smile or two may help to
break the spell and make US once more the
buoyant and care-free nation of other days
Hop to it, gentlemen.

richest country of earth, this great

Foreign powers had shown their
contemptuous indifference by not
