In Lorimer's Footsteps.

In the Lorimer case the senate has an ex-
cellent precedent to follow in dealing with
Senator Newberry. Lorimer's work may have
been little coarser than that done on New
berry's behalf, but it amounted to the same
thing in the end--use Of money to influence an
election. In the one case the money was
handed out direct to members of the legisla-
ture who did the eecting. and in the other it
went to leaders who earned it by delivering
the strength of such a following as they could
muster by any means they cared to employ.
Roth schemes were subversive of the will of
the people at least neither gave opposition
which remained within the law fair chance.
There has been a general disposition to re-
gard laws setting limi. upon campaign ex-
penGitures merely as bugaboos to frighten the
nnsophisticated. and to be freely disregarded
by those with pull 1t is time to put the
natter to the test Senator Newberry was
convicted, as one Of the jurors has said, on
the evidence of his own witnesses, so there
can be little doubt as to his guilt The senate
cannot safely fail to take notice of the pro-
ceedings 1t will be poor politics to do other
wise, not to mention other aspects Of the case.

contsnded that 1900 people had bssa ovsf-
looked and subsequent counts Of school chill
dren and city directory canvasses bore out the
assertion. OF course some people were missed
this time. for that is inevitable. but they were
few, certainly nothing like the number IN 1910.
Shortly after the annexation campaign was
insugurated few years ago there was formed
what was known - the $4,000 club" At the
head Of it was the late H. e. Casteel. who was
one Of Rock Islands best boosters With his
death it dropped out Of sight. Now is = good
time to revive it. To reach the $1,000 mark
by 1890 all Rock Island needs to do is to main
tain the rate of growth Of the last decade
That is easily possible, but it will take intelli-
gent. persistent effort.
To hold the pace we have set since 1910
the city will have to keep pushing ahead in
every way 1t can't stop making municipal
improvements. Paving, sewers, water mains.
trolley lines etc, must be extended to enlarge
the residence area. The new hotel project
should be put over without delay. Efforts to
acquire new industries and to furnish capital
ard other accommodations to those we already
have must not lag. Above all, there must be
new houses. A vigorous building campaign
for residences and apartments will take care
Of Rock Islands own needs and will also in
vite here large overflow from Moline and
Davenport.
Rock Island has a great opportunity fact
which the census returns gives new emphasis.
It is glorious-and the ultimate results Of

The house was prettily furnished,
ard after opening up some win
dows, Elizabeth Ann foraged the
pantry and refrigerator and found
plenty to eat She went to bed
about 8 o'clock in what appeared to
be the guest room, as Elizabeth
Ann had been invited by her aunt
Mira Elwell. to spend her vacation
With her at 5rookside. Elizabeth
Ann had never been there before
and did not know much about
Aunt Mira except that she was her
mothers favorite sister.
The first two days and nights
passed without interruption, but on
the third night Elizabeth Ann was

The Uses of Military Training.

Universal military training is powerful
aid to strongly centralized government in
maintaining its position and carrying out its
policies, but when those who are trained de-
eide to take matters into their own hands it
greatly increases the difficulties OF the
situation.
Trained men of Germany fought well under
the empire. They are fighting we'll now for a
cause that has little if anything more to rec
ommend it, trying to set up a proletarian
ticta .orshp
Mob rule is hard enough to deal with when
it is unorganized but when arms are so gener-
ally distributed as they are in Germany and
every workman knows how to use them and
has thorough knowledge besides of military
tactics the obstacles in the way of promptly
putting down radical uprisings are vastly in
creased. Those who are now trying to restore
order in Germany probably are fervently wish
ing that military training had not been so
general and so thorough.
1t might not be improbable for those cham
pioning both extremes of the universal military
service question in this country to revise their
arguments in the light of what is now han
pening east of the Rhine.

By this time Elizabeth Ann was
in tears. Robert Elwell, for this
was Mrs. Elwell's son, walked on,
and left the two women alone. Mrs
Eiwell arranged that Elizabeth Ann
should stay with her until some
time the next day, when Robert
would drive her over to Aunt
Mira's.
When the mistake was explained
to Aunt Mira the next day she
laughed over it, and she and Mrs
