For q man to depend upon his

Thor Norberg before the Rock Is

berg said 1t takes but 10 to Is min
utes q day to keep in trim, using
the system Of exercises followed N
the army camps>and which were
recently illustrated in The Argus
He strongly supported the view
that competitive athletics should
he discarded in favor of physical
training which will reaoh al

Colonel Stanhope E. Blunt. for.
mer commandant of Rock Island
arsenal, now visiting his daughter
In Davenport. was a guest and
spoke briefly. He paid warm trib-
utes to his predecessors and sue
cessors at the arsenal. especially
to Colonel Jordan. who he said is
. much more able man than his
golf would indicate.
No, Action on Bonus.
The club declined to take action
on . request for . protest against
the soldier bonus bill and for pref
erential car service for the carry
ing Of highway materials.
Monday. June %, the club will

ing Project.


Committees in charge Of raising
funds for the municipal bathing
beach have not fully completed
their organizations for the drive
for $1,000. Plans for the beach are
completed, but the plans for rails
ing the money are not.
! Plans for the beach at the foot
Of Fourth avenue include details
that will assure one Of the finest
public bathing resorts on the upper
Mississippi. All the enthusiasts
behind the plan concede that in es-
tablishing . beach every plan must
be carried out as originally out
lined. as Rock Island does not want
to spend money for . makeshif'

Plans for raising the money in
clude a committee to call on bus

ganize Y. W. c.. A. girls and Boy
Scouts for district work in every

Exact ideas on how to reach the
public In this case are not held by
anyone, but all concede that the
drive must be put over with q rush
not allowing over two or three days
to elapse in actual taking of sub
scriptions. In line with this gen.
eral point Of view some have sug-
gested that . tag day be put on.

furthermore. 1t is declared that
with hot weather close at hand the
opportunity is ideal for getting the
exact public attitude on the propo-
sition. With IS, 900. people in the
city and only $1,000 needed it is
easily seen that the 81 donation
plan would carry the proposition
easily In case there is real interest
in a place where everyone can es-
cape some Of the discomfort Of hot
weather. On ton Of this it is de-
clared that 1t can be settled once

whether or not the people want a

ment Is expected to decide the Is

is proud of the fact that she has
owned and edited a Democratic
newspaper for thirty-two years.
This does not mean that Miss
Robinson is not still on the sun
ny side of fifty, and, with the
prospect of soon obtaining the
vote, ready to increase her activi-
ties, which include speaking and
campaigning for her favorite can
didates.
The same year that Miss Rob
inson became owner and editor Of
the Orange Observer, the Vir-
ginia Press association was start
ed, and she registered as a char
ter member. AS historian of this
organization through twenty-fow
years of steady growth, she has
collected many interesting tales,
among them many relating to
politics.
In speaking recently Of the
fact that suffrage is now so near
for all the women of the country,
Miss Robinson said:
Virginia men and women are
aware that even though the leg
islature has declined to ratify the
federal amendment, suffrage for
all the pepole must be accepted
philosophically. Many of us who
are proud of our state, which has
given seven presidents to the
country, feel that it is a pity it
should be behind the other states
in recognizing the claim of wom-
Ell to the franchise.
"In my experience as the only.
woman who owned and edited
newspaper in Virginia, | have
been always so closely identified
with politics that | have felt
keenly the injustice of the old or
der of things. Year after year
have written editorials and made
speeches. 1t has been my privil-
ege to work in all the congress
sional campaigns, but although |
| proved my ability to grasp |
public questions | was still I'M

WILL THE SENATE CONCUR?

BY the spirit in which the sem
ate determines Truman ii. New
berry's fitnes and right to hold
his seat while under sentence to
the penitentiary for debauching
an election the Republican ma
jority of that branch of congress
will test the sincerity of their
own and their party's professions
in behalf of a clean ballot and
honest government.
There is no longer any doubt
as to whether Mr. Newberry was
justly charged with completely in
this corruption. A court has
heard the evidence. Mr.. Newber-
ry has presented his defense, and
a jury has found a verdict of
guilty. The question for the SEN
ate to answer is whether it
wants to continue in its member
ship a man who has purchased
his seat by the criminal use of
money.
An apparent effort is being
made in some Republican quar-
tiers to give an impression that
Ncwberry's prosecution and con
viction was the partisan act of
Democratic administration. The
facts belle such a suggestion.
The grand jury which indicted |
Ncwberry and his co-conspirators
was composed of q Republicans
and two Democrats. The jury
which tried Newberry and his
fellow defendants was made up
OF 10 Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis. and the federal judge who
presided at the trial is a Repub-
liean. appointed by President
Roosevelt in whose cabinet New
berry served as secretary of the
navy.

gan jury. viii the Republican
