SHIPMENTS Of HEAD LETTUCE
FROM GUNN|S0N ARE STARTED

The head lettuce industry has ar
rived for Gunnison county. Monday
Joe Eilebrecht shipped the first car
from Gunnison to the packing station
al, Salida, where it was pronounced
better than any yet received, even
superior to the best from Buena Wis
IA. Eilebrecht and Stokes shipped
this car and have two more Grated to
ship today, enough for broad gage
refrigerator car east.
They have lost considerable from
not having crates on hand, but a big
truck load of crates came in from
the association at Buena Vista Sum
day night and were distributed the
next day. 1t seems that delayed rail-
road shipments were largely response
bic for the lack of crates and no
blame attaches to the association.
Other growers have portions Of
their fields ready to ship, and will get
into the game strong next week. 1t

Attacks on Suffrage.

Although the suffrage amendment to the
federal constitution has not been in force for a
year and half there are two cases challenging
its constitutionality oral argument before
the supreme court of United States at the pres
ent time. One of these cases was brought in
the state of New York by Charles S. Fairchild
against the secretary of state and attorney gen
eral in behalf of himself and the American
Constitutional union. The other was brought in
the state of Maryland by oscar Lesser and
others.
The Fairchild case seeks to compel the sec
rotary of state to withdraw the proclamation
announcing ratification of the amendment and
to restrain the attorney general from enforcing
it on the ground that the amendment was not
constitudonally adopted. The plaintiff con-
tends that amendments affecting the right of
suffrage can only be given force by vote of
the people and not by ratification by state leg
islatures. In reply the government asserts
that the court should dismiss the suit because
it is not brought by persons having any di-
rect interest and because if the relief requested
is granted the withdrawal of the proclamation
announcing ratification would have no effect
upon the ratification.
In the Maryland case two women claim that
they were denied the right to qualify as voters
on the ground that woman suffrage dilutes and
nullifies male votes and that the amendment
had not been constitutionally adopted Counsel
for the plaintiff argued that unless the su-
preme court interviewed two-thirds of congress
with the cooperation of three-fourths of the
legislatures could, by exercising the same au-
thority resorted to in the case of the
suffrage amendment, change the form of gov
eminent in the United States to a monarchy.
The power of amendment provided in the con-
stitution does not carry with it the power to
destroy.
We venture the prediction that when the
supreme court has disposed of these cases the
suffrage amendment will still stand

For a Happier Issue.

The board of supervisors Thursday wiped
the slate clean of somewhat vexing PROPOSE
ton, in expunging every part Of the record con-
corning the matter of consolidating part of
South Rock Island township with Rock Island
township. The tilt was rather lively while it
lasted yet happily it did injury to none, and
many people probably profted by what was de.
veloped in the controversy.
Time is now given to reflect and to deter
mine whether the situation that gave rise to the
passing unpleasantness can or cannot be
treated in better way.
Law suits are profitable to lawyers, but they
are costly to all others. The price in bitterness
and. feeling engendered often is too high, even
gage legal advice.
1t was unfortunate that the issue was raised
on question of collecting taxes on a higher
assessment in South Rock Island with the
avowed purpose of sending assessor across
the Eighteenth avenue line to make the assess
ment that South Rock Islanders always have
made for themselves. 1t is said that there are
advantages that will come to both townships in
the event of complete consolidation, and
probably there are, but the issue was born not
of promise of advantage TO South Rock Island,
but with what was construed as of disadvantage
and a possibility of higher taxes.
That is what made the trouble.
Now the question is, car method of union
be rked out, not necessarily tomorrow nor
the day after, but eventually, in which there
will be substantial purpose of mutual interest?
South Rock Island township has heen given
a chance to see itself as others see it Not only
are the people OF Rock Island township Of the
opinion that its assessments are too low, but
people OF other townships have been convinced
OF the same thing. South Rock Island should
have an opportunity now to set its own house

Cheapest Thing on Earth.

The fellow who is offering the greatest value
for the money invested happens to be about
the most cheerful salesman on earth He is
the news boy on the corner. For a few cents
he gives you several thousand dollars worth
OF service. Your daily newspaper costs you
only few cents because a highly organized
group of institutions, covering the earth, are
cooperating to serve the reading public. One
little dispatch from zap or Genoa would cost
the individual several dollars. The news OF
the world is thrown your front porch each
evening. The modern newspaper does more
than gather news. 1t interprets great events
and surveys the opinions of mankind on vital
questions. The newspaper today is the great
est marvel in the business world. The news
paper is living testimony to the power of
cooperation.
The throbbing heart Of humanity, the drama
OF human life, comes to the reader in his news
paper. The newspaper is living thing The
face of humanity blaZes forth on its pages. II
you want to know humanity read the newspa-
per. The romance, the poetry, the tragedy, the
struggle, the pathos, the Joy, the love, the ad-
venture, the dreams, the hopes, the disappoint-
ments of the human race walk up and down
the columns of the daily paper. The newspaper
draws fresh pictures of humanity each day
The newspaper is our greatest achievement in
art, Tor IL paints the human story in lights and
shades, in every mood and in every form of
action. People with zest for life, people who
are keen and sensitive to the pulse of the hour,
invariably careful readers of the daily
paper. reading public gets the paper it
merits. The newspaper is a criterion of the
community. The advertising pages, the news
the feature stories and special arti-
cles are. each and all, vital things.
The newspaper is humanizing institution.
The man who reads his newspaper habitually
becomes very human person. He is in touch
with mankind. He is man of sympathy and
He is man of visions and
ideals. Were the newspapers to cease pub
lication for one week the entire civilized world
would be thrown into chaos. 1t is no wonder
the news boy shouts his wares. He knows full
well that he is distributor of a great essential
and is giving the public the world for few
cents.

in order. Having the opportunity. It should
do it,
If the charge is erroneous. it should clear
itself.
Mayor Schriver has indicated that he has no
desire TO force upon South Rock Island some
thing it so strenuously opposes, but he has
sought TO show the people OF that part OF the
city that they had much to ask, and much to
gain of the city as whole In the way of pub
lie improvements by popular vote. and that they
will find themselves in an unfortunate position
when such vote is taken South Rock Island
certainly is not so blind that It cannot see the
force Of the mayors contention
Seeing it, will 1t not right itself in due time!
1t is true that the township has some bitter
enders" who opposed annexation and who re-
fuse to see any good from 1t, but the township
Is filing with progressive citizens who want the
best they can afford and will be willing to pay
they go.
The greatest concern Of The Argus is in sec
ing that nothing shall be done in zeal Of the
present to hinder unity Of all territory between
the Mississippi and Rock rivers within one city
certainly and within one township II it appears
advisable.
Should that corner of South Rock Island not
in the city be treated an outcast to seek shell
ter where it will2 Should it be driven into
South Moline to be alitnated forever from Rock
Island, or into Black Hawk, where it Is sep
arated from the main unit by a river?
Rock Island cannot afford to treat otherwise
than kindly the territory now added to the city
or the portion it hopes ultimately to claim as
its own.
The recent action was begun with good mo-
tives undoubtedly, and the record was ex-
plunged with motives that are likewise unques-
toned.
Let us obtain the widest possible vision in
beginning again, and trust that all will be well
that ends well.
