Witnesses said that the fight oc-
Cured after Moore had refused to
give Pollock a room, saying that the
latter was intoxicated.
Physicians who examined Moore
Immediately after his collapse on the
witness stand Monday said he died of
a fractured skull
Moore's death came after a dra-
man appeared to testify against Pol

Lamphere. The Y. M. G. A. man had
just finished his story of the alleged
assault when he toppled over on the
floor in complete collapse. He was
removed from the courtroom, and his
death, which came a few hours later,
was pronounced due to fracture of
the skull.
Moore had been in Greenville only

Some critics of the League OF Ma

was laid therefore today in admin

of Elihu Root when he submitted
To the senate the Hague convention
of 1907. He said:
'"Ihe most valuable result of the
conference of 1899 was that it made
the work of the conference of 1907
possible. The achievements OF the
two conferences justify the belief
that the world has entered upon
an orderly process through which,
step by step, in successive con-
ferences, each taking the work of
its predecessor as a point of de-
parture, there may be continual
progress toward making the prac-
tee of civilized nations conform

many has been disarmed, no objec-

Germany to be invited to the next
conference. The president feels,
moreover, that when the question
of ornaments is settled in Wash
ington, the main obstacle to in
ternational cooperation will have
been removed Secretary Hughes
in his opening address recalled
pointedly the efforts of the emper-
or of Russia in connection with the
first Hague conference. But ex-
pecting success on armament lin

ment will take the leadership in
bringing about not an international

hey. Nm Re Heyf.

The head Of q famous high school
for boys assures me that he has
seen many boys become mentally
deficient from smOking cigarets.
And he is no mollycoddle either.
but q principal who for many years
has enjoyed the greatest popular
ity with his boys.
Yet I can't agree with him. The
boys who are mentally deficient
use cigarets because Of their men
tai deficiency. A boy with Z real
brain has enough Independence not
to smoke. 1t is the weak Wit that
can't withstand the taunts and
jibes of the kind Of smart Alexis
that affect cigarets. True, the ef-
feet OF tobacco il invariably inhi-
bition or slowing down Of mental
processes. No boy or man can
think as fast or - well or act ~
quickly or az accurately while un-
der the influence Of tobacco Is he
can while not under such influence.
That is q well proved fact. Mental
efficiency is slowed down about IS
per cent by q smoke. Physical ef-
ficiency is reduced about 10 per
cent by q single smoke. That is
no doubt the reason why smoking
is prohibited for youths who are
striving for athletic prowess. Even
q prize fighter nowadays knows he
must avoid tobacco if he hopes to
develop the best there is in him.
But this school principal further
particularizes. Having asserted that
he has seen boys become mentally
deficient from INDUCING in cigar
cts. he continues with this:
Mental deficiency is always fol-
lowed with moral deficiency, es-
pecially untruthfulness. 1 am not
advocating an anti-smoking cru
SADIE against mel. who smoke. am
merely expressing my conviction OF
the destructive effect Of tobacco on
boys"
The youth who smokes is not
trustworthy. That is pretty well
recognized by hard-headed employ
ers, school teachers and men OF
affairs. He is particularly a bad
egg as regards sexual morality.
I'd trust a smoking youth as far
as l can throw a bull by the tail.
The moral character Just isn't
there.
Like the high school principal
quoted, am not advocating a cru

Gambling in Oil.

Rock Island Is being closely combed these
days for investors by companies operating in
the Texas oil fields. Literature is being freely
distributed and advertisements are printed in
the newspapers calling attention to the posi-
bilities of large earnings for those who are
willing to place their money in the oil business
A number Of Rock Island and Moline people
who formed a company to prospect in the
Texas fields have struck oil and have been TAX
ing . handsome profit from their venture.
Their good fortune doubtless Gas led others
to turn with favor towards the Texas section,
and various companies prospecting there are
making the most of the opportunity to induce
others to join with them in their undertakings.
There is nothing new or mysterious about
the oil game. Fortunes have been made and
lost in it. When you put money in COM
pany that proposes boring holes in lands on
which it holds leases you must take chances
with your. associates.
If a gusher is brought in you and the others
probably will obtain a satisfactory return on
your Investment You may in fact grow
wealthy. And on the other hand. you may
lose every dollar that you have put into the
venture
Oil prospecting is purely speculative II is
gamble, and only those who are willing to
take long chances with their money, and are
in position to lose what they put into it, should
become investors.
The Argus has no way Of knowing whether
there is any merit to the various companies
that are selling stocks in Rock Island at the
nresent time Of coursa all Of them are hona-
full that they will strike oil and will return
big profits to those who become owners OF
their stocks The only point The Argus wishes
tc impress upon its friends is to keep in mind
that oil prospecting is purely a gamble.
And those who gamble lose about as often
as they win.
