 UNIQUE MEMORIAL The National Committee in it's ci, cular says:
 ."It is presumed that the whol" Church would like to celebrate tain event in some substantial way. In the case of q long and active service such as Bishop Rowe's, we can easily ina zine that his many admirers anc friends will wish to have part in this commcmoration.
 "It has been customary, in many instances, to wait until the great sol diers and servants of the. Cross have laid down their arms and entered into their rest before their work has been acknowledged by some memorial to them; but it is proposed, in the case of Bishop Rowe, that some adequate of this anniversary take place while he is here and able to enjoy the knowledge that his efforts have been appreciated"
 MASS MEETING AND SERVICE
 It is intended that during this year the fund will be raised and presented. Appropriate services and addresses will be made at Juneau and in other places.
 Those who may not be reached by the Seward committee but who desire to have part in the testimonial of ap- preciation and friendship, may com- municate with the Rt. Rev. w. T. Sumner, D. D., No. STA Elm St., Port land, Ore, or with the Very Rev. G. D. Christian, Juneau, Alaska.

congress and the president were to agree upon

it would mean nothing because it would be a

Fairness and Service.

In assuming its added responsibilities The
Argus wishes to make it plain that 1t has no
enemies to punish and no friends to reward.
Il solicits and hopes to merit the confidence
and cooperation OF all who are God fearing
and law abiding, without respect to their re-
ligious beliefs or political opinions.
Having become the only newspaper printed
in city OF $4,000 The Argus Is not unmindful
Of the difficulties, as well as Of the broader
obligations of its new position. 1t can only
say that 1t is prepared to meet both squareiy
( and to continue to make service its watchword.
Its facilities never so complete as now, will
be steadily improved to cover its field. 1t
means to continue giving its readers and Its
advertisers full value received. 1t is resolved
that no city of its size shall ever have better
newspaper than Rock Island.
From news standpoint The Argus slogan
will continue to be "All the news all the time"
Ito editorial policy cannot be better epitomized
than in the words that downstate contem-
porary carries at the head OF its editorial
column: always open to conviction; never
subject to dictation." Its aim is to avoid SEN
! sationalism and to protect its readers to the
best of its ability from imposition in both news
and advertising columns.
The Argus always has championed the
cause of the many against the assumption Of
power by the few 1t believes in rule by ma
jority, which is the essence of the American
form of government, and that the right OF the
majority to have that for which it clearly ex-
presses a preference is beyond question. This
means that in q time like the present. when
public questions OF the highest importance are
pressing for an answer the responsibility de-
volving upon the press is much greater than
ever before. It is of the utmost importance
that the publc-the court of last resort-shall
have all the facts to guide it in making 4 wise
and prompt decision These facts-incorpo-
rated in the news-only the daily newspapers
can supply.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am 10
years Of age and an excellent
housekeeper. l am without
mother and am keeping house for
my father. We have a large fam
lily. After my mother died fathers
mother stepped in and l was
thrown out, without money or any,
thing. l got a light housekeeping
room and then I got sick, so the
people I was staying with took me
in as their daughter.
The woman was like a mother to
me. She has a grown-up son con-
sidered very good-looking and neat.
At first he was just like brother
to me, but after / went back home
he became more than a brother. He
thinks q great deal OF me and I
also of him. He has kissed me sew
eral times. Is that wrong! I learn
ed to love him.
He made a date with me to see
me uptown, but I did not see him.
Later l saw him and the first thing
he did was to apologize and he
wanted to kiss me again.
He has been married, but is d.
vorced. What should do? l am
worrying about him because I love
him and I would like to 60 with
him. THANK YOU.
Tell the young man that you
have decided not to kiss him. Stick
to what you say. Unless he asks
to marry you. he has no right to
ask for your kisses.
In the future do not make plans
to meet him in town. Ask to call
for you at your home. II you fly to
him too quickly, he will lose inter-
est. Men want most the women
who are hard to get.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My par
ents are very strict and my father
is cruel to me and often strikes me.
They do not want me to 90 any
where and I cannot have company
or callers. I am supposed to ut at
home by them all the time. You
really don't know how much my
young heart Graves for company. I
feel best when am at the once
