OUR DAMP VESSELS.

Most Reople-regardless of their views on the
prohibition question will probably agree with Vr-
gil Henshaw chairman Of the National Prohibition
committee that Adolphus Busch has put one over'
IN his expose of the sale of liquor ON American
vessels Mr.. Busch doesn't pretend to like the prol
h'bition law but his contention that sauce for the
goose should be sauce for the gander also will pretty
generally meet with popular approval, from pro-
hibitionists, and anti-prohibitionists alike.
Just what will be the outcome of the whole con-
troversy is not clear but it scarcely seems likely
that the ruling of P. A. Vise general counsel for
the prohibition unit of the treasury department.
which holds that liquor sales outside of the three
mile limit are legal will be allowed to stand as a
hna solution. If it is found that Mr.. Vise's ruling
is correct under the present law. strong effort to
change the law may be expected
The suggestion of Wheeler Smith general .cN,,n-
Sci Tor the Anti-saloon league that all vessels which
sell liquor should beSexcluded from American potts
thus putting dry" American ships on plane Of
equality with those Of other nations would hardly
seem at the first glance to be practical Such law
would cause too many complications in foreign
trade relations, and might even lead to serious in-
ternationh difficulties. The United States has !
perfect right to prescribe laws for its own Shipping
but to attempt dictate what vessels OF other coun
tries may orSmay not do outside Of American ter
ritorial waters would be carrying affairs with rather

MARSHALL RAPS
AT SOCIALISTS
Davenport Educator Tells Exchange
Club Home City WIN Be Cured
In April.

Civically speaking. the city Of
Davenport has been suffering an at
tack of scarlet fever" the past two
years, but that after April next the
white flag will be displayed to show
that the patient had recovered, de-
clared George E. Marshall, super
intendent of Davenport public
schools. this noon at the Rock Is
land Exchange club.
Civic Consciousness" was his
theme.
Davenport's experience, he main
tained, had been unique, but all
communities were more or less the
victims of periodical attacks of
what might be termed civic scar
let fever" or measles. and in the
case OF Davenport it was civic
scarlet fever. In another month,
however. his home city, he said,
will be on the way to recovery.
A community is no better, said
Mr.. Marshall, than the people who
compose it Buildings, parks,
transportation systems, etc, are
merely the shell. They simply are
indications that there are such peo-
pie as taxpayers. The conscience
of the community is the people, he
declared.
If the people are of the caliber
who take small interest in civic af-
fairs, a low level is the result, he
claimed.
LawIessness is a mark of the
present generation, and the exam
pies being set young people were
extremely harmful, in his opinion.
He praised clubs like the Exchange,
Rotary and Kiwanis for their eff
fort in behalf of civic desponsibil-
ity.
The Exchangeites decided to
meet weekly hereafter Tuesday
noon instead of Thursday.
James T. Pound, president, ap-
pointed w. B. Schroeder, N. A. Gus
tafson, F. L. Mann, Ray Osterman
and Carl Burnside a committee to
represent the Exchange club at the
meeting next Tuesday in the Rock
Island Chamber of Commerce
rooms at 2:50 O'Clock to take ac-
ton regarding another one-fund
