-corrupting the national morale. The saloon
permit was employed TO promote enterprises
entirely foreign to the bar business. and it was
the competition under the latter head that
spelled the downfall OF the legalized saloon in
this country.

On Loving Thy Neighbor.

The following is taken from recent issue
of the Kodak, a semi-weekly published at Alb
ingdon, the home Of HeddiDg college, the trus-
tees of which are considering proposition to
remove that institution to Rock Island:
"A syndicate of Rock Island crooks with
the aid of few Abingdon renegades, are con-
spring to steal and remove Hedding college
from this city and transplant it to that sodom
hby the river, in which the cradle of crminality
has VIGOROUSLY rocked since vile village in
the slime andsmud of the big stream.
Many long years ago Abingdon planted \
little tree-watered, cultivated and ncurishec
it and watched it grow, slow and tediously
through the hot summers, the blasts of winters
the drawbacks and droughts of years, until
by the succor and care of Abingdon it has
4 reached its present commanding height and
Influence. While it was weak and lottery the
vultures and wolves along the river didn't want
our tree. Had it been offered Rock Island as
a free gift it would have been spurned. Rock
Island could have planted a tree, Abingdon
did, but it didn't. To it the goal did not APP
pear to be worth the sacrifice II seemed 10
be more in accord with its instincts to let Alb
ingdon grow the coveted plant to maturity
then steal it.
But will the great Methodist church, to
whose wise care this beneficient Institution of
learning-this latter day tree of knowledge
has been dedicated. sit calmly inert and permit
the crooks of Rock Island and their renegade
allies in Abingdon get by with this amazing
hold up?' Can't it remember that Satan tried
to tempt the Savior with bride? Satan is still
entrenched at Rock Island and is still offering
brides. And the Methodist church will spurn
his offer, even the blessed Jesus did"

Should Hold Army.

Rumors have been af1oat for some time. that
there are influences in congress preparing to
force further reduction in the standing army.
The principal motive back of this movement is
said to be economy, which general propo-
sition would have the sympathy of all senators
and representatives. But congress should not
act hastily in the matter, for it would be poor
economy to cut down the permanent armed
forces Of the United States below the point of
safety in order to save few million dollars.
The American people do not want that kind
of economy. Strong is the sentiment in
favor of retrenchment in government expendi-
lures, there is a still stronger sentiment in
favor of maintaining a national police force
competent to cope with any probable emergency
and distinctly opposed to leaving the nation
helpless and unprotected. Congress should ex-
ercise its very best judgment in dealing with
this important matter.

Municipality Owned Utilities.

The city of Muscatine, in specialselectio
has just approved of the issuing of s3500oo in
municipal bonds for investment in a publicly
owned light plant Light and street car service
are now furnished in Muscatine by the United
Light Railway company, which controls sim
liar utilities in the tri-cities, and If that COM
pany moves out, and takes the tail with the
hide, Muscatine may loose its street railway
system.
teresting to note that Newton, Iowa, has Just
sold its bankrupt municipality owned electric
light plant to the Iowa Southern Utility COM
pany. Davenport concern, for about the same
figure that Muscatine is 20 invest in its enter
prise.

Commission Does Proper Thing.

The Rock Island city commission unques-
tionably echoed popular local sentiment yester-
day afternoon in tabling a resolution favoring
the amendment of the Volstead act to permit
the manufacture and sale of beer and light
wines. The resolution passed by the
Davenport city council, a copy having been laid
before the Rock Island commission with re-
quest that it be acquiesced in.
1t is contended, and not without justfica-
ton. by those fathering the agitation for the
volstead act amendment, that prohibition is
not getting the results that its supporters an
ticipated; that in place of pure products legally
manufactured and sold, there has grown up in
the country outlaw industry engaged in
making variety of concoctions that are doing
great deal of harm among those who
foolish enough to consume them in their quest
for something with an alcoholic kick. There
is no denying that there are in Rock Island
alone hundreds of home stills, the output of
which is retailed to anyone having the price
asked by the maker. A large quantity Of this
home manufactured liquor is dispensed over
the soft drink bars of the city at price con-
siderably lower than is charged for the bonded
article
Yet the fact remains that under the Vol
stead act the only way in which Iaw-abiding
citizen may procure whisky is by first obtain
ing a physicians prescription. Therefore a
considerable percentage of the population just
now must be classified as law-breakers. Those
favoringsthe return of beer and wines will argue
with you that there is as much drinking today
as there was when we had the legalized saloon
That is the veriest rot 1t is not So
Rock Islands experience with the liquor
traffic was no different from that OF other
cities. Rock Island simply had become saloon
ridden, as had other cities over the country, and
the people rebelled- The natural result was
the Volstead act.
The Argus always has held that Americans
are not prohibitionists in principle. They found
however, it would be necessary for them to re-

| In order to earn sleep you must

Don't become a health spendthrift;

sweat you have nerves" as a
handicap. After all, though one
may live by his wits alone, he may
not live long or well Unless he
adds exercise and sweat to his pro-
gram and makes these essentials a
part of his daily life, something in
the way of premature breakdown
invariably looms ahead
People who can't sleep almost
invariably need exercise. AS a rule
they try to josh themselves about
work" They try to imagine they
"overwork." 1t is true they do
overwork, but we need not consider
whom they overwork. Making
living by your wits is not work, al
though it is popularity so called by
courtesy. Thus a salesman, an edi-
tor, lawyer, writer or a minis
ter doesn't work in the intransitive
sense of the word; a doctor, po
liceman, blacksmith, a teacher,
dentist, stenographer, house
keeper or a nurse works more or
less. One shouldn't confuse his
favorite game with work. Work
means putting forth energy; and no
energy is involved in just using
ones wits.
All the hypnotic drugs which re
ally produce sleep are dangerous
or injurious If taken repeatedly. 1t
is perfectly safe and often benefi-
cial to health for one to take a
dose or two of such drugs in emer-
gency if the doctor so prescribes.
There is no hypnotic drug known
which may be frequently or habitu-
ally employed to aid sleep without
gravely injuring health and encour-
aging disaster in the long run.

The Daily Short Story

better, as Caesar said. to be first

Mrs. Leslie looked up from her
sewing
Undoubtedly" she replied, but
l was first in a little village long
enough. now l intend to be first in
I Rome, too. How's that for hat?''
and she held up a turban she had

By midnight there were three

and a rim of gold lace, was a beau

bunch of Violets. Il am going to

look sweet with the tassel hang

But Leslie only replied again that
he would be ''jiggered.''
And see the little blue boots
They were the Allen baby's, but
she kicked the toes out. The upper
parts are good, and l am going to

them on gray cloth toQue, and add

''Swagger! can almost see
Mrs. Shannon with it on. How much
shall you ask for it?"
''Thirty-five dollars. The white
and gold one~is to be marked $50"
You'll never sell it for that"
But she did, and it was bought by
Mrs. Alton herself. The Eilsel hat
shop was the talk of the town when
once it became known Where
Mrs. Allen and Mrs Emmons led,
their friends followed, and the hats
sold like hot cakes At the end of
the first day Mrs. Leslie had to

demand went on None Of her Gus
